The ends justify the means, and that is what democracy is here: not the goal, but the means. For now, it is the path of least resistance to attaining power. They have gotten up to 30% of the vote, depending on the report. A democracy is only as good as the values that inform its […]

Saudi textbook says conflict with Jews “is a religious conflict, not a dispute about politics or nationality, or a conflict between races or tribes, or a fight over land or country, as some describe it”
So much for “underlying causes” and the various excuses du jour. “Saudi High School Textbook Preaches Hate,” from the Investigative Project on Terrorism, December 8: A twelfth-grade Saudi textbook is teaching hatred of Jews and jihad to liberate Palestine, according to MEMRI. The report illustrates that hatred and violence continue to be themes in Saudi […]

UPDATE: Pamela Geller was able to capture the KTLA video. The eyewitness saying that the gunman was shouting “Allahu akbar” is at 2:42. ——————– The KTLA video report here, which I cannot embed, has an eyewitness at 2:42 saying that the gunman was shouting “Allahu akbar” as he fired.

Romney: “I believe people of the Islamic faith do not have to subscribe to the idea of radical, violent jihadism”
What about nonradical, nonviolent jihadism? What about the Islamic supremacist imperative to assert Sharia over other legal codes by nonviolent as well as violent means? Romney doesn’t address that, and I doubt he is even aware that such an imperative exists. “Mitt Romney: Islam is not an inherently violent faith,” by Tony Leys for the […]
Robert Spencer: Islam for Leftists
Here is an interview I did in August 2011 for the German site Initiative1683.com.
Gingrich: “Palestinians” an “invented people”
Gingrich is right in this. PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said this in 1977: The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians […]

Canada: Feminists back Islamic idea of women as possessions of men
I have taken feminists to task more than once not only for their failure to stand up for Muslim women, but for their active excuse-making for the oppression of those women. See, for example, my article in FrontPage, “Feminists Betray Muslim Women,” on how the feminist writer Laura Briggs justifies the oppression of Muslim women. […]
Malaysian Muslim thought police ban Lee Kwan Yew’s book that suggests that Muslims should be ‘less strict’
Lee Kwan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore, should know a thing or three about Islam — he’s been living in very close proximity with Islam and its votaries for almost his entire life. Modern Singapore exists as a wealthy, advanced non-Muslim city state surrounded on all sides by a virtual sea of Islam. Singapore […]
Hertz to fight Muslim workers’ lawsuit over prayer breaks
These workers refused to clock out to pray. They weren’t being denied breaks. They were just not being allowed to get paid to pray. And so, of course, they are suing. But Hertz, unlike most American businesses when faced with Islamic supremacist intimidation lawsuits, is fighting back. A refreshing instance of anti-dhimmitude and an update […]
