The Leftist/jihadist alliance has been on abundant display during the Occupy protests. At Occupy DC it is taking an especially sinister turn: “Inside Occupy D.C.,” from Bill Gertz’s Inside the Ring in the Washington Times, December 21 (thanks to Pamela Geller): People monitoring the Occupy D.C. movement tell Inside the Ring that the two encampments […]

Cardinal McCarrick expresses “respect” for imam with ties to Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas
Cardinal Theodore McCarrick is the Roman Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, DC. The Imam Mohamed Magid is with the ADAMS Center. From a February 2008 report: “Another D.C.-area mosque, the ADAMS Center, was founded and financed by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, and has been one of the top distributors of Wahhabist anti-Semitic and anti-Christian […]
Man who foiled underwear jihad bomber sues airlines
Theophilus Maranga is right. The airlines were negligent to let Abdulmutallab aboard. The responsibility lies, however, with the useless screening processes that focus on how the last jihadi tried to blow up an airplane, while maintaining a politically correct willful blindness that pretends that everyone is equally likely to blow up a plane in the […]
“Britons” streaming into Somalia to train for jihad
How exactly are the people in question “Britons” at all? Some or all were born there, and maybe a few like fish and chips or soccer, but in what way is their outlook on life in any recognizable sense “British”? These men are jihadis, plain and simple. Their outlook on life is an Islamic one […]
Turkish PM accuses France of genocide after French Parliament criminalizes denial of Armenian genocide
The Armenian genocide was a fact, and the Turkish refusal to admit its existence is of a piece with the consistent Islamic supremacist tendency never, ever to admit wrongdoing, and to project their faults upon others. As a believer in the freedom of speech, I believe that the antidote to lies is truth, not censorship, […]
Courageous ex-Muslim in Muslim country starts an extraordinary new website
Recently I received an email from a remarkably courageous woman in a Muslim country. Raised a Muslim, she practiced Islam all her life. However, she has now left Islam, and is now — because of Islam’s death penalty for apostasy — living a precarious existence in her native land. She has now started a blog, […]
France: Muslim man punches nurse who attempted to lift burqa on wife who was in labor
There are echoes in this story of obstacles faced by women seeking access to health care in places like Afghanistan. But France is not Afghanistan, and Nassim Mimoune was sentenced to six months in jail. As the judge told him, the laws of the republic are not secondary to his demands. In his mind, the […]
Saudi textbooks instruct children in how to carry out amputations for Sharia punishments
Prince Faisal Bin Abdullah Al-Saud, whom this report names as being responsible for the contents of the textbooks, said he didn’t know how those ideas got in there. Qur’an 5:33 prescribes the amputation of hands and feet on opposite sides for “waging war against Allah,” and “spreading corruption (or mischief) in the land.” Six Saudis […]
Pakistan: Asia Bibi, a Christian jailed on false “blasphemy” charges, to spend another Christmas in prison
Does Pakistan think it makes its Islamic republic look strong and powerful to persecute this woman and reduce her to this state? Quite to the contrary, it conveys a sense of fear, both that Islam cannot stand on its own merits in the free market of ideas, and of angering violent Islamic supremacists who may […]
Saudi Arabia arrests Ethiopian Christians for prayer meeting, but charges them with “mixing with opposite sex”
The Saudis apparently fear the international opprobrium that could come upon them if they charge these Christians simply with holding a Christian prayer meeting, which is, in fact, illegal in the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places. This shows again the brittleness of Islamic supremacism: Islamic supremacists cannot stand to be challenged. That’s why they […]
