In this late breaking story from Indonesia, it appears that, miraculously, no one has been killed except for the homicide bomber at an attack at a church today in central Java. But will the intended victims be so lucky next time? Of there being a ‘next time’, we can be dreadfully certain of that. “Suicide […]

Georgia: Public school lesson included a “letter” from a fictional Muslim woman praising Sharia and polygamy
It is not just that the lesson “positively slants toward Islam” to the exclusion of other religions, which would be bad enough. The letter excerpted below, along with other components of the lesson, amount to dawah, or Islamic proselytizing, and children in a public school were made a captive audience to a sales pitch for […]
Abbas rejects new international “blueprint” for peace with Israel
Make that 32 squandered opportunities for peace. “Palestinian leader rejects intl peace blueprint,” by Amy Teibel and Mohammed Daraghmeh for the Associated Press, September 25: UNITED NATIONS (AP) “” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas strongly suggested Saturday that he would reject a peacemaking blueprint put forward by international mediators, saying he would not agree to any […]
Report: Egyptian “youths” use Facebook to plot attempted takeover of U.S. embassy if Palestinian statehood is vetoed at UN
Interestingly, this report is from the Fars News Agency in Iran, where Facebook is officially blocked. Otherwise, heaven knows young Iranians might start some kind of unholy water fight. But the Iranian government never met an attempted U.S. embassy takeover it didn’t like, and that apparently trumps the use of a method of organization that […]
Pakistan: Priest in Diocese of Lahore says “the police help the guilty” when Muslim men rape non-Muslim women
He also says it has become a “common practice.” As long as the victims are lower on the totem pole than Sunni Muslim Pakistanis, Islamabad will not see a crisis. But the same supremacist conduct they look the other way from when it is perpetrated against non-Muslims or non-Sunnis is gradually eroding the stability of […]
U.K.: Commanders ignored warnings that troops were at risk from their Afghan “allies”
The headlong pursuit of “hearts and minds” continues at the expense of life and limb. Here, a NATO report acknowledged the risks posed by the inability to tell a “moderate” member of the Afghan army from a case of Sudden Jihad Syndrome waiting to happen, but its recommendations were never implemented for fear of damaging […]
Pakistani foreign minister: U.S. must not cross “red lines”
In other words: Stop calling us out for not acting like friends, or we’ll stop pretending to be friends. The rhetoric from our Frenemy and Ally is escalating because Pakistan is cornered. They are reportedly intimidated by the monster they have created in backing the Haqqani network, but have also been caught out in their […]
Malaysia’s Uberdhimmi of the day: top Catholic archbishop comes out in favor of shariah
Malaysia’s recent dust-up involving the theoretical non-implementation of hudud, or Shariah laws that govern apostasy, theft, consumption of alcohol, et cetera in this country has been nothing if not educational. Muslims, even the ‘moderate’ ones who are supposedly in abundance in this country, tell everyone that they as Muslims must support such a throwback, retrograde […]
U.K.: Up to 20,000 Muslim polygamous unions robbing welfare system blind
Even Baroness Warsi has acknowledged that fear expressed as “cultural sensitivity” has prevented authorities from going after offenders and stopping the various ruses by which men bring in additional wives from overseas. Islamic law allows a man up to four wives. But British law does not. It would be bad enough if Muslims in Britain […]
This just in: Islam is the religion of peace, love, tolerance, harmony, brotherhood and care
Once again, as ever, we see this baldly asserted, without supporting evidence. The fact that Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism, and to make recruits among peaceful Muslims, is never countered or even addressed. So it is in the U.S. also: we are constantly admonished that we […]
