We tried to tell you. Islamic law, which is to be the basis of legislation in the “new” Libya, forbids the repair of non-Muslim places of worship and the construction of new ones.

Pakistan: Protesters denounce death sentence for assassin of governor who criticized blasphemy law as a move “to please the Jewish lobby”
Pakistan has a “Jewish lobby?” That alone is breaking news. But this behavior is nothing new. When the assassin, Mumtaz Qadri was first arrested, he was showered with rose petals and even Valentine’s Day gifts. No guilty verdict against him would be acceptable to them. His death sentence, if it is actually carried out, promises […]
U.S. Congress withholds aid to Palestinian Authority over statehood bid
Rewarding the PA through inaction would only encourage them to stick to their guns (pun intended) on the statehood bid. “Palestinians say freeze in US aid taking effect,” by Mohammad Daraghmeh for the Associated Press, October 3: RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) “” Palestinian officials said Monday that the U.S. has suspended West Bank development projects […]
Ohio: Muslim death row inmate sues to get halal meals
Abdul Awkal is in prison. He is in prison for murder. Ordinarily prisons are not dedicated to the convenience of their inmates. But before Islamic law, everything must bend. “Ohio Muslim inmates sue over meal preparation,” by Andrew Welsh-Higgins for the Associated Press, October 3 (thanks to all who sent this in): COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) […]
Islam’s Uninterrupted History of Forced Conversions
Last week on Pajamas Media (via RaymondIbrahim.com), I compared and contrasted two accounts of forced conversion to Islam, two samples, one from modern Pakistan, the other from roughly 500 years earlier, under Ottoman rule, and found great continuity: Finding and connecting similar patterns of behavior throughout Islamic history is one of the most objective ways […]
Minnesota: Muslima accused of raising money for jihad arrested in court after refusing to stand for judge
Hassan and Ali: contempt for U.S. law She doesn’t recognize the authority of American law, only Islamic law.

Indonesia: Jihadist preacher Abu Bakar Bashir says “random” suicide bombings are “an erroneous form of worship”

“Virulent anti-Semite” jihadist hate preacher who should have been blocked from traveling to Britain now in line for £5,000 “human rights” payout
If he had timed it better, he could have gone shopping with Abu Qatada. A dismal update on this story. “Hate preacher wins human rights payout… even though he shouldn’t be here at all,” by Chris Greenwood and James Slack for the Daily Mail, October 1 (thanks to Twostellas): A banned extremist who made a […]
Ahmadinejad: For peace, everyone should just “go home”
Of course, this argument depends on the revisionist claim that negates the historical connection of the Jewish people to present-day Israel, as the Qur’an claims Jesus, Moses, and Abraham as Muslims. Ahmadinejad has also conveniently forgotten that in 1948, nearly one million Jews lived in Arab and Muslim lands, but were almost entirely expelled or […]
Michigan: “Terror suspect” linked to “foreign terrorists” tries to crash into car of FBI agent
Reed S. Berry’s ideological affiliation is never explicitly stated, but it is noteworthy that he was under 24-hour surveillance leading up to the 9/11 anniversary, and also reportedly barred from air travel. It could be a coincidence, but that’s also quite the Sunnah beard he’s sporting (“trim closely the moustache and grow [the] beard,” Sahih […]
