F(r)iend and Ally Pakistan shows China parts of crashed U.S. stealth helicopter from bin Laden raid

Pakistan’s diversionary tactics continue in investigation of Shahbaz Bhatti’s murder; bishop says story changes every day
The government’s previous official conjecture of “internal squabbles” has evolved into “a property dispute between relatives.” As this report notes, if his death can be swept under the rug in this manner, the blasphemy law which Bhatti died for criticizing does not enter into the discussion, and Bhatti as well as the injustices he fought […]
Afghanistan: Team of 6 suicide bombers kills 22 in raid on governor’s compound
Allah promises paradise to those who “slay and are slain” in his cause (Qur’an 9:111).

The One Law For All Campaign has published a new monograph, “Enemies not Allies: The Far-Right” (pdf here), which is essentially a hit piece on me, Pamela Geller, SIOA, SIOE, and several groups that we have never had anything to do with, such as the BNP, which we have consistently denounced. Not coincidentally, One Law […]
Imam Moustafa Zayed lies — again — about sex slavery in Islam
Here is a clearer video of Friday night’s debate between the Imam Moustafa Zayed and me on whether on not Islam grants equality to women. Zayed lost the debate badly, and is in full-on damage control mode; one of his associates has posted his response here, and although I am in a hurry to get […]
Algeria: Suicide truck bomber wounds 29 at police headquarters
It’s the endorsement nobody wants: jihadists sure do love their Toyota pickups. “Algerian suicide attack wounds 29,” by Abdelaziz Boumzar and Lamine Chikhi for Reuters, August 14: TIZI OUZOU, Algeria (Reuters) – A suicide bomber attacked a police headquarters in the Algerian city of Tizi Ouzou early on Sunday, injuring 29 people, the official APS […]
Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood warns military not to interfere in writing of new constitution
The Muslim Brotherhood knows the constitution is its golden ticket to achieving and maintaining power to the full extent that it intends. The Ikhwan was angered in June when Egypt’s interim prime minister suggested delaying elections in order to give groups other than the Brotherhood time to organize. They have already shown their willingness to […]
Grand Shia cleric: Islam is not a religion of war, but of jihad and martyrdom
Of course I’m serious The difference, he explains, is one of motive: “a soldier who fights for getting money cannot [be] a serious combatant but when a soldier knows he sells his soul to get Heaven instead, then he has no fear.” Indeed, Islam created a nearly invincible war machine by guaranteeing booty to the […]
