Nigeria: Misunderstanders of Islam murder three in attacks on police buildings and bank
What makes Boko Haram an “Islamist sect,” rather than an “Islamic” one? The fact that they murder people in the name of Islam. They don’t read a different Qur’an from that of other Muslims. They don’t say a different shahada. They don’t have different beliefs. They just act upon the teachings of the Qur’an and […]
Hilarious: Spokesman for Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s political party says it “is not interested in imposing Islamic values on Egypt”
The Muslim Brotherhood’s motto is: Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.

French minister of Arab origin: “There is no such thing as moderate Islam”
UPDATE: The AFP piece below appears to be a mistranslation. Bougrab actually said “There is no such thing as a moderate Islamism”: il n’existe pas d’«islamisme modéré». So back down the rabbit hole we go. (Thanks to Tom.) Bougrab: Wonder of wonders, a truthful politician Jeannette Bougrab is quite right. There are people who identify […]
Muslim girl quietly leaves Islam and doffs hijab, lives double life in fear of parents
Her household was only “moderately religious,” and yet she still feels threatened enough to lead a double life. Apparently her parents are yet more Misunderstanders of the Religion of Peace.

Panetta blames Israel for jihad against it, tells Israelis to “mend fences” with jihad-sponsoring states
These statements could only have been spoken by a man lacking the first foggiest idea about what jihad is, and why the Arab and Muslim states are so dead-set against Israel that only the destruction of the Jewish State will satisfy them. “Panetta Scolds Israel on Peace Talks,” from the Associated Press, December 3 (thanks […]
