Denmark: Church Ministry to change name to accommodate Muslims
The Danish Left won the elections September 15, 2011. The first 100 days in power, they managed to break 100 promises. Up to now the only ones who have benefited from the Left’s victory are immigrants and unemployed. I met the new Danish Church Minister, Manu Sareen, a couple of years ago in a live […]
U.K.: Prisoners converting to Islam for better food, “protection,” better treatment
This is nothing new, of course, but only a continuation of an already well documented phenomenon. As Ronald Reagan once said, if you want more of something, subsidize it.

Pakistan: Catholics go to court over demolition of church-owned center despite court-ordered stay, during which demolition workers destroyed Bibles
They have owned the property for 125 years, but according to the prior report — surprise! — the local government decided it was government property. The land is now worth a great deal. Local authorities have found that, as Hedy Hedley Lamarr declared in Blazing Saddles: “Unfortunately there is one thing standing between me and […]
Gay honor killing film shakes Turkey up, enrages Islamic supremacists
“Islamist daily Vakit called it ‘homosexual propaganda’ by a gay lobby bent on ‘legitimizing perversion through their so-called art.’” Remember, they’re talking about a film about an honor killing. Vakit doesn’t seem to mind the honor murder; it’s the immorality that upsets them. “Gay ‘honor killing’ movie shakes Turkey up,” by Ece Toksabay for Reuters, […]
Egypt: Islamic parties win 75% of parliament
These are the people who will be drafting the next constitution. A democracy is only as good as the values that inform its participants. “Islamists secure top spot in new Egypt parliament,” by Marwa Awad and Lin Noueihed for Reuters, January 21: CAIRO (AP) – Final results on Saturday showed that Islamist parties won nearly […]
Maldives: Government expresses concern about the rise in “extremist rhetoric”
There is nothing “moderate” about the Maldives, where religions other than Sunni Islam are forbidden.
