Reza Aslan’s traveling “Islamophobia” medicine show
Friday evening I was in Baltimore, Maryland, speaking before a packed house at the Institute On The Constitution — the largest crowd they had had in nine years of featuring weekly speakers.

Yet another rampage: 300 Tunisian Muslims attack TV station and attempt to set fire to it for airing film critical of Iranian revolution and organizing debate on “extremism”
Undoubtedly, the irony is completely lost on them. Several months ago, few might have believed this element existed in modern, moderate Tunisian society, let alone in sufficient numbers to terrorize a university and attempt to torch a TV station. “Tunisia Salafists ‘attack private TV station’,” from Agence France-Presse, October 9 (thanks to Kenneth): Around 300 […]
Pakistan: Over sixty masked men wielding iron rods invade girls’ school and beat students and teachers for not dressing “modestly”
The intrepid, manly mujahedin in action again. Not surprisingly, this attack had another effect that was certainly hoped for: out of a school of 400, only about 25 girls returned after the attack. Not only did the police fail to intervene, they were reportedly instructed to do nothing. Jihad causes poverty. “Dress modestly: Masked men […]

200 jihad/martyrdom suicide bombers planning attacks in UK
Apparently these suicide bombing sleeper cells have somehow gotten the crazy idea that the Qur’an’s promise of Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111) meant that Paradise was promised to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah. And note that no Islamic “moderate” group is lifting a finger to disabuse […]
Iraq sides with Iran, sends aid to Syria’s Assad
The smiling victor at right I’ve been predicting this since at least 2006: June 27, 2006: “Of course, Ahmadinejad may be jumping the gun a bit as far as that is concerned, but he is certainly doing all he can to bring into being a Shi’ite client state in Iraq.” September 13, 2006: “Here we […]
Virginia: Awlaki’s old mosque still preaching jihad, hatred and terror
In recent years we have seen mosques used to preach hatred; to spread exhortations to terrorist activity; to house a bomb factory; to store weapons; to disseminate messages from bin Laden; to demand (in the U.S.) that non-Muslims conform to Islamic dietary restrictions; to fire on American troops; to fire upon Indian troops; to train […]
Shocker in Egypt: Christians facing rising discrimination, increasingly strident Islamic supremacism after revolution

Egypt’s Christians will not face the “moderate” Sharia prototype on someone’s drawing board. They will get the production model, whose performance […]
