Afghanistan: Karzai ordered leak of info that wrecked deal to release U.S. soldier captured by Taliban, angry at not being included in talks

By

More on this story. Reservations about negotiating with the Taliban are, of course, more than reasonable, but there is the principle of the matter in our “friend and ally” Karzai’s behavior. “Secret U.S.-Taliban talks were closing on deal to free kidnapped army sergeant before being scuppered by Karzai aides,” by Oliver Pickup for the Daily […]

New York: Fifteen Muslims arrested in riot over Playland Park safety rules

By

Where American law and practice conflict with Islamic law and practice, American law and practice have to give way. That is the way it always is. Otherwise, there will be violence. “Police arrest 15 at Playland in dispute over Muslim headwear,” by Rebecca Baker and Jonathan Bandler for LoHud.com, August 30 (thanks to all who […]

Chechnya: Misunderstanders of Islam murder seven in two bombings

By

“The first blast occurred when officers attempted to detain a suspected militant in the Chechen capital of Grozny.” See, if only the officers weren’t so “Islamophobic” as to interfere with the activities of the glorious mujahedin, none of this would have happened.

Convert to Islam arrested with bomb-making guides and al-Qaeda propaganda; Spiegel says his “motivations remain a mystery”

By

Everyone knows that Islam is a Religion of Peaceâ„¢ and that only greasy Islamophobes pause from raking in the bucks long enough to suggest otherwise, so Abdul Hakiim’s conversion to Islam couldn’t have anything to do with his sudden interest in setting off bombs. This one is, a Pamela Geller says, “a real headscratcher”! “The […]

Al-Qaeda bigwig and former Gitmo detainee tells Saudi prince to expel all non-Muslims from the kingdom

By

Never mind how that would paralyze the Saudi economy, dependent as it is on what often amounts to slave labor, as demonstrated by so many horror stories, and the denial of freedom of religion and worship to non-Muslim foreign workers. But what kind of intolerant person would demand the expulsion of other religions from his […]

Here is the Aga Khan/Rick Perry curriculum: Scrubbed from the web, cache scrubbed from Google Search

By

One of the oddest and most telling aspects of this Rick Perry/Aga Khan curriculum controversy is that when Pamela Geller and I started writing about the curriculum, it was scrubbed from the web. Now it has been scrubbed from the Google cache, as I noted here. This is highly suspicious, and gives the lie to […]

Malaysian Muslims are reminded of their Islamic duty to proselytize

By

Now that the ‘holy’ month of Bombadan Ramadan has ended, Muslims are now celebrating the holiday of Eid (‘Hari Raya’ in Malay parlance).
