Deden Sujana was the head of security for the Indonesian Ahmadiya Congregation, and his exact offense is unclear. As the Ahmadi movement is increasingly banned or marginalized after essentially being blamed for provoking the attack by existing, it appears he is in hot water for trying — or considering trying — to fight back: “According […]

Indonesia: Creeping Sharia picks up the pace during Ramadan
The increasing influence of Sharia on a society consistently results in increasing harassment by official or unofficial enforcers of the law, a decrease in tolerance, and an increase in persecution. Indonesia has witnessed the onset of all of the above for a number of years. Is there “no compulsion in religion?” According to Qur’an 2:256, […]
Israel: Longer-range Grad rockets being launched from Gaza
This escalation continues the trend of increasing rocket launches recorded last month. It also reflects the feverish pace at which Hamas and other jihad groups in Gaza have been stockpiling weapons, taking advantage of the relative calm as Islamic law intends it: an opportunity for the jihadists to regroup and re-arm for the next round. […]
Thailand: Jihad against 50-year-old teachers
The jihad against Thailand grinds on as usual. What it shares with jihadist movements far removed from Thailand is the intent to impose Islamic rule — the aim of jihad in all its forms — and the deliberate and unabashed targeting of civilians, as we have also seen from the Taliban, Hizballah, al-Qaeda, al-Shabaab, Hamas, […]

“Christian Terrorism”?
In light of the Norway terrorist attack, and as expected, the hail of religious relativism has begun””the idea that, if a “Christian,” such as Breivik, commits terrorism, then it is folly to assert that certain Muslim doctrines inspire violence and terror: all becomes relative. A recent AP report titled ““˜Christian terrorist”? Norway case strikes debate,” […]
Toronto: Islamic supremacist punches non-Muslim in the face, no charges filed
World upside down indeed. No doubt to have filed charges in this instance would have been “Islamophobic.” It is widely understood among Muslims that Islamic law forbids photography, and so in this case Toronto Police were essentially enforcing Sharia. “Yonge-Dundas smackdown: Punched in the face, but fat chance charges will be laid,” by David Menzies […]
Iraq: Four killed in liquor store bombing
Islam forbids Muslims to drink, sell, or buy alcohol. To do any of those things would be considered immoral. But committing mass murder to prevent the trade in liquor? Not immoral. Sharia Alert from Baghdad: “Officials: 4 killed in two bomb blasts in Baghdad,” by Sinan Salaheddin for the Associated Press, August 3 (thanks to […]
Bangladesh: Teacher suspended for “insulting” Muhammad — “insults” led to violent protests
In Bangladesh, if you tell the truth about Muhammad you will be demonized, vilified, threatened, and marginalized. In the United States, you’ll just be demonized, vilified, threatened, and marginalized. “Bangladesh teacher suspended for ‘insulting’ Prophet Mohammed,” by Marina Joarder for Deutsche Welle, August 3 (thanks to Twostellas): A government teacher in Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, has […]
