In a raid in Jeddah, Saudi authorities seize nearly 1500 toy guns said to make “sounds mocking Islam”

By

Religious police are now on the lookout for the hottest new gift of the season, Blaspheme Me Elmo. “Anti-Islam toy guns found in the UAE,” from Emirates 24-7, October 26: An Emirati social expert and activist shopping in a local market stumbled across Chinese-made toy guns that issue sounds mocking Islam and called on authorities […]

Al-Qaeda reportedly sends emissary with famine aid to Somali jihadists

By

Officially, al-Shabaab calls the famine declaration a conspiracy. It may have occurred to al-Qaeda that the Somali jihadists’ willingness to starve the country into submission might be bad for business, or there may have been private appeals from al-Shabaab. In any event, what is of additional interest to U.S. officials in this case is the […]

Kenya: Self-described member of al-Shabaab claims Nairobi grenade attacks

By

The good news is that Kenya apprehended this bomber. The bad news is that this pair of somewhat amateurish, opportunistic free-lance jihadist attacks is almost certain not to be al-Shabaab’s main event in Kenya. Al-Shabaab has actually denied any connection to these attacks, which fall outside of its recent tendencies toward suicide attacks, and the […]

By

This guy again: “In March 2007, a KSU official said that [Julio] Pino, 48, had acknowledged providing news stories to a jihadist Web site but had stopped.” “Kent St. prof. reportedly yells “˜Death to Israel” at event with Israeli diplomat,” by Christopher Santarelli for The Blaze, October 26: A Kent State history professor, who has […]

Pamela Geller has here the actual letter that Steve Eckley, a senior vice president of the management company that runs the Hutton Hotel, sent to Lou Ann Zelenik. He says that “at least two of your speakers have a history of enraging people to the point of violence.” That would be, as is clear from […]

Obama: It “only cost us a billion dollars” to install Sharia regime in Libya

By

And just watch for the dividends that will come in from that billion: oppression of women (polygamy has already been legalized in Libya), oppression of non-Muslims (a Jew who returned to Libya after decades in exile has already been harassed and deported), the denial of free speech and the freedom of conscience, and more virulent […]

Tennessee: Junior ROTC refuses uniform exception for hijab

By

Exceptions to a uniform defeat the purpose of having one, making the exception stand out and calling attention to it. That appears to be precisely the idea here. It is a curious inversion of logic, also seen in the story about prayer spaces at the Catholic University of America, and the prayer break dispute with […]

Virginia Senate candidate Tim Kaine speaks at dinner honoring top Muslim Brotherhood official

By

In “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America,” by Mohamed Akram, May 19, 1991, Muslim Brotherhood operatives in the U.S. are told that they “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” […]

Muslim students at Catholic University of America complain that Christian symbols make them uncomfortable when they pray in empty classrooms

By

UPDATE: In recent days, word has gotten out that apparently no CUA students are party to Banzhaf’s suit, though the effort remains an equally insidious social engineering effort against CUA. The agenda remains the same. Crucifixes? At a Catholic university? How about that. Of course, at the heart of this complaint is the hope of […]
