“The interior ministry said on March 8 that it had not recorded any anti-gay or anti-emo killings.” So they never happened. So there’s nothing to investigate. So shut up. An update on this story. “Iraq must investigate ’emo’ killings: rights groups,” by Prashant Rao for Agence France-Presse, March 16: Three major international human rights groups […]

Tunisia: “Our Qur’an is our constitution”
More Friday fun in Tunisia. Remember when this was supposed to be a tiny, harmless, marginal sideshow of a minority of extremists? Even here, however, we see the self-deception that Sharia somehow isn’t what it is and won’t execute (sometimes quite literally) the Qur’an’s own prescribed punishments: “The secularists would have one believe that Islam […]
India: Salman Rushdie to speak in Delhi “despite Muslim anger”
The great irony here is that, if not for the explosion of anger and decades of seething against Rushdie for a book published 24 years ago, almost no one would have heard of Salman Rushdie, and The Satanic Verses would be quietly gathering dust on bookshelves. Far more people have read it, paid for it, […]
Archbishop of Canterbury says wearing a cross does not offend non-Christians
Except when it does, and the display of crosses is forbidden under Sharia. In a country already struggling with the consequences of enabling creeping Sharia, and of a broader campaign of reckless multiculturalist social engineering, further concessions must be resisted. Those aspects of the issue must not be left out of the discussion, as they […]
Al-Qaeda’s former second banana to Pakistani jihadists: be more revolting
Oh, wait. He said he wanted a revolt. “Qaeda urges Pakistan revolt, vows to keep US hostage,” from Agence France-Presse, March 16: Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri has called on Pakistanis to rise up against their government and military in a video posted on the Internet on Friday, US monitors said. He also said that, unless […]
Afghan jihadi soldier murdered Marine on Feb. 1, Pentagon lied about cause of death
Why is the Pentagon covering for Islamic jihadists? “Marine killed by Afghan soldier last month, officials say,” from the Associated Press, March 16 (thanks to Anne Crockett): WASHINGTON — An Afghan soldier shot to death a 22-year-old Marine at an outpost in southwestern Afghanistan last month in a previously undisclosed case of apparent Afghan treachery […]
Leaked emails: Assad adviser says Syrian President must confirm that “the Islam of the Syrian people is the true Islam” by showing “hostility to Israel, the first enemy of the Muslims”
How is it that this Assad adviser got the crazy idea that “the true Islam” would manifest itself in “hostility to Israel”? Doesn’t he know that Islam is a Religion of Tolerance that shows love for all, hatred for none? Or has he read that passage in the Qur’an that says that the Jews will […]
Pakistan: To settle a loan, stepfather sells 12-year-old girl to old man for forced marriage
“Whenever I protested against the marriage and asked to be freed, he told me I was his property as he has purchased me from my father.” This idea is a natural result of the treatment of women as commodities in Islamic law. “Forced marriage: Step-father, elderly “˜husband” arrested,” by Shamsul Islam in the Express Tribune, […]
Robert Spencer on Michael Coren Show, discussing mistreatment of women in Islam
…with a mention of the silence of the feminists. This is from last night. Video courtesy Blazing Cat Fur.
Egyptian clerics: Jews are donkeys and Ben Franklin hated them, hating Jews is a form of worshiping Allah
They also appear to be conflating Ben Franklin and Franklin Roosevelt. Priceless. More on the hoax of the “Franklin Prophecy” can be found here. As for the mention of donkeys, that is Qur’an 62:5, which alleges the Jews have fallen away from the true “Torah”: “The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah […]
