Hence it is a time when they”re supposed to grow more generous and kind toward their fellow Muslims. However, the Qur’an says: ‘Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him […]

Pakistan: Jihad has killed almost 4,000 people in first seven months of 2012
But remember: every religion has its extremists! There are violent passages in the Bible, too! (And just how many people have been killed by Christians who took those verses as their inspiration in the first seven months of 2012?) “Pak terrorist attacks killed at least 3,898 in 2012,” from ANI, August 9 (thanks to The […]
Pakistan Hindus facing vicious persecution from Muslims
“We are businessmen but have been compelled to leave our motherland because of harassment, lawlessness, looting, kidnapping of girls and their forced conversion to Islam.” Compare this to the rights that Muslims enjoy in India. “Pakistani Hindus arrive with horror tales,” from PTI, August 10 (thanks to Ajay): In the backdrop of a 14-year-old Hindu […]
Again: Afghan jihadist working on military base murders three U.S. marines
Closely following this attack, here comes another almost identical to it.

Al-Qaeda-linked Muslim cleric says Muslims should kill Alawites everywhere, without mercy
He says they’re even worse than the Christians and Jews! But here again, this kind of thing has become dull with familiarity: the prospect of a cleric, any cleric, calling for the killing of anyone should arouse international outrage, even if he is an “Al-Qaeda sheikh.” But we are so used to Muslim clerics calling […]
India: Muslims riot, torch police vehicles, stone buses over attacks on Muslims in Myanmar
What do the non-Muslims in Mumbai have to do with the treatment of Muslims in Myanmar? Why, nothing. Nothing at all. “Protest against Assam riots in Mumbai turns violent,” from First Post, August 11 (thanks to J.K.): Mumbai: Several shops, vehicles and two vans belonging to television channels and some to the police were burnt […]
White House says it has “˜eyes” inside Iranian nuclear program
If this is true, why are they announcing it and endangering their man inside Iran? Or is this just a cynical attempt to get votes, by an intentionally clumsy reference to IAEA inspectors? “White House says it has “˜eyes” inside Iranian nuclear program,” from al-Arabiya, August 10 (thanks to all who sent this in): The […]
