Priorities. By banning Barbie and trying to foist a substitute toy on consumers, they have automatically made the Barbie doll that much more interesting to the public. As always, Islamic morality policing is a cheap way for the government to look busy, shore up its credentials as a pious operation, and to remind the public […]

Pakistan: Christian girls and women, some already married, abducted and forcibly converted to Islam
The marriages of captives are abrogated, by order of the Qur’an: “And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you” (4:24). “There is no compulsion in religion,” according to Qur’an 2:256, but the nature of the “compulsion” is in the […]
Vatican spokesman: “Among the most serious concerns, the increase in Islamic extremism merits special attention”
Note the top-ten list for countries persecuting Christians. It’s probably “Islamophobic” to notice a pattern there. “Vatican spokesman laments religious persecution, cites “˜Islamic extremism”,” from Catholic Culture, January 16 (thanks to Twostellas): The director of the Holy See Press Office has used his weekly message to draw attention to the plight of persecuted Christians. “The […]
Jihad against spell-check from Kenya: “The Muslim lands will once again rule with Shari’ah and your kufr democracy will be dumped in the seewage”
Just days ago, we noted how consistent and formulaic jihadist rhetoric is from place to place, almost to the point where one could program a Jihadist Hate Screed Generator and kick back with a cup of tea while giving a hearty takbir or three that there’s an app for that. Choose your language, select your […]
Egypt: Muslim child preacher lovingly recalls genocidal antisemitic hadith
Quoting this hadith in the U.S. will swiftly get you charges of “Islamophobia” and “misunderstanding Islam,” although I know of no Muslim attempt to explain away the obvious genocidal import of Muhammad’s prophecy. Non-Muslims are just denounced if they notice. But in the Islamic world, this genocidal prophecy is taken very seriously: “Egyptian Child Preacher […]
Hizballah on U.N. chief’s call to disarm: No.
As noted here, it will take more than asking once to make that happen. “Hezbollah rejects call by U.N.’s Ban to disarm,” by Dominic Evans for Reuters, January 14: BEIRUT (Reuters) – Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah dismissed on Saturday a United Nations call for his militant anti-Israel movement to disarm, saying it was determined […]
Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis agree that Sharia should be imposed on Egypt
Whatever their disagreements may be about how Sharia should be implemented, if the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis do succeed in imposing Sharia upon Egypt, we will see restrictions on the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the rights of women and non-Muslims. Wherever and whenever Sharia has been implemented, this has been […]
Switzerland: Muslim hacks daughter to death with axe for dating a Christian
It is no accident or coincidence that Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” […]
Debate: David Goldman (“Spengler”) vs. Robert Spencer — Was communism a greater threat than Islam?
While Muslim and Leftist spokesmen continue to run from debate from me, and try to save face among their followers by falsely claiming I’m ducking them, David Goldman, the pundit formerly known as “Spengler,” has shown more courage. Goldman and I had an unfriendly exchange a few years back, during which he retailed such gnomic […]
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Zionist
Martin Luther King, Jr., was an opponent of the jihad against Israel. While there are some disputed quotations circulating in this connection, here are some key and authenticated MLK quotes: “I cannot stand idly by, even though I happen to live in the United States and even though I happen to be an American Negro […]
