It is noteworthy that Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni says that one who insults Muhammad must be killed, but not one who insults Allah. For all the indignant rejection by Muslims of the old term “Mohammedan,” Islam is actually quite Muhammad-centric. “Egyptian Shaykh: ‘We still kill him, even if he repents!,’” from Translating Jihad, July 13: The […]

Somali jihad group recruited 21 Muslims in Minnesota
Yet no one would dream of reevaluating the immigration policy that made this possible. Oh, no. That would be “racist.” Better to die in a bloody jihad attack than appear “racist.” “Somali terror group linked to Al Qaeda ‘recruited 21 men in Minnesota,’” from the Daily Mail, July 16: A Somali terror group has allegedly […]
The sad, sad lack of solidarity among Christians
A recent study shows that 105,000 Christians are killed every year because of their faith. In other words, every five minutes a Christian is killed because he or she is Christian. Those of us who do not just stick to politically castrated (non-PC for “politically correct”) newspapers and news channels are fully aware of the […]
Friend and ally update: Afghan army soldier murders NATO soldier
I have said many times in the context of many similar incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is no reliable way to distinguish a peaceful Muslim from a jihadist.

Secretary of State Clinton tells Islamic organization dedicated to crushing free speech that Islam and the West can agree on tolerance
In the current state of affairs, in a way, they can, but not in the way the Secretary of State meant in her comments to the Organization Formerly Known As The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OFKATOIC). Islamic groups continue to press their demands while their spokesmen engage in deliberate deceit about the limitations of […]
U.K.: Banned jihadist hate preacher out on bail pending outcome of deportation proceedings
By the rules that were in place, Raed Salah should have been turned right around at Heathrow, if he could not have been disallowed from getting on the flight to London in the first place. But by some oversight in need of investigation to determine if it was deliberate, he waltzed right in (figuratively, of […]
Afghanistan: Will the real Mullah Omar please stand up? Embassies send representatives to hear strange, sideshow claim of “peace talks”
This is one of those stories where one looks twice to make sure it’s not the work of The Onion. But as the report notes, the level of attention seems to reflect an alarming lack of caution in the pursuit of peace talks with the Taliban, and also recalls last year’s embarrassment in which “peace […]
‘Erosion’ of non Muslim rights in Malaysia continues
From the “Heads I win, tails you lose” department: For once, the president of the Malaysian dhimmi political auxiliary called MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) is correct. Dr. Chua Soi Lek has correctly stated that if the opposition stays in power at the state level, or manages to take control of the national government, the treacherous […]
Afghan women’s rally takes place; Afghan men are ‘red-faced with anger’, but it’s got nothing to do with Islam
MSNBC’s Sebastian Rich has written about a recent, modestly sized women’s rally in Kabul, Afghanistan. From “Afghan women rally, turning men red-faced with anger”, MSNBC: KABUL — In any other country, the sight of a group of women holding colorful placards, marching and protesting is commonplace. But not in Afghanistan. In fact, a women’s protest […]
