Now, wait a minute. Didn’t Barack Obama say that al-Qaeda was on the ropes? In any case, this is yet another indication of the impossibility of distinguishing jihad terrorists from peaceful Muslims — an impossibility that is regularly killing our troops in Afghanistan. “15 Iraqi Officials Quit in Protest Over Qaeda Threat,” by Rod Nordland […]

Justice Department official refuses to promise that DoJ will never advance proposal to criminalize speech against any religion
Clearly this exchange (watch it below) indicates that the Obama Administration is indeed contemplating ways to circumvent the First Amendment and outlaw criticism of Islam: blasphemy laws would, if they succeed, be coming to the U.S. If this, happens, it’s all over. If the U.S. adopts blasphemy laws, that would be the end of any […]
Muslim Persecution of Christians: June, 2012
Over at Gatestone Institute (via RaymondIbrahim.com), the June persecution report is out. The introduction follows: U.S.-backed rebels are committing Christian genocide in Syria, where they are sacking churches and issuing threats that all Christians will be cleansed from rebel-held territory. A mass exodus of thousands of Christians is taking place, even as mainstream Western reporters […]
Muslim preachers misunderstand Islam, say churches should not be built in Islamic countries
It is not permissible according to Sharia, they said. And it’s true: Sharia forbids Christians in the Islamic state to build new churches or repair old ones. And while stories like this one are common enough, the iron dogma in the U.S. that Sharia is benign and completely compatible with Constitutional freedoms must never be […]
Indonesia: Qur’an teacher gets five years for teaching jihad/martyrdom bomber how to make a bomb
Yadi was a teacher of the Qur’an. How did he come to misunderstand Islam so spectacularly as to urge warfare during classes on the Book of Peace, and to teach people how to make bombs? It’s a real puzzler for the learned analysts in Washington, but they will never be able to solve it because […]
Hamas-linked CAIR demands that DoD drop ex-Muslim lecturer; Pentagon assures them he doesn’t speak about Islam
There are many on what can broadly be called the counter-jihad Right who think that if they trim their message, start talking about “radical Islam” and “moderate Muslims,” or even the peaceful religion that has been Hijacked by a Tiny Minority of Extremists, they will dodge the fire from Hamas-linked CAIR and be able to […]
“If you ever disrespect Islam ever again, I’m going to personally find you all, ok?…You’ll fucking die.”
This death threat came in to ABN after I interviewed Pamela Geller in a show on “Islamophobia” last Monday night. I posted an expurgated version of this death threat already, but the unexpurgated version gives the full flavor of the opponents we face in fighting for freedom and human rights. Pamela Geller has the full […]
Landmark case: Government argues that Islam is political
Pamela Geller has the amazing story of today’s hearing on our AFDI lawsuit against Detroit SMART transit: What began as a clear first amendment issue has exploded into a landmark case regarding the the status of Islam as a political entity. Today the Detroit Transit Authority (SMART), a government entity, argued before the 6th Circuit […]
Syria: Christians flee from jihadist rebels
“We’re too frightened to talk…They sermonized on Fridays in the mosques that it was a sacred duty to drive us away. We were constantly accused of working for the regime. And Christians had to pay bribes to the jihadists repeatedly in order to avoid getting killed.” Not that the “pro-democracy” movement in Syria has anything […]
Napolitano: “˜Historically” DHS Hasn’t Vetted U.S. Citizens Against No-Fly List Before They Take Flight Lessons
Oh, well, then, we should never ever vet them! “Napolitano: “˜Historically” DHS Hasn’t Vetted U.S. Citizens Against No-Fly List Before They Take Flight Lessons,” by Edwin Mora for CNS News, July 25 (thanks to Ron): (CNSNews.com) — Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told lawmakers today that, historically, her department has chosen not to vet U.S. […]
