“We want the Afghan government to bring the people who did this to us. We will kill them ourselves.” There’s just plenty that’s disturbing about this story. “Anti-U.S. emotions run high at Afghan dogfighting ring,” by Michael Georgy for Reuters, March 2: (Reuters) – Protests over the burning of Korans at a NATO base may […]

Islamophobes — no, wait, Tunisian legislators — say “we cannot use the shari”a as a source of legislation because it can disrupt the balance of Tunisian society”
Are they “racists” for saying that, too? This minority group also alludes to the fact that the Islamic parties have been dealing in generalities about Sharia, and that the supposed “flexibility” of Sharia that enters into the argument to deflect criticism of its harshest tenets is no reassurance. They know what is coming. “Shari”a Rises […]
Denmark charges four with misunderstanding Islam, plotting jihad mass murder over Muhammad cartoons
Motoon Rage will never die — it is much more likely that the West will outlaw any criticism or negative portrayal of Islam, including truthful speech about the jihad doctrine and Islamic supremacism, before jihadis stop wanting to kill large numbers of Infidels over…cartoons. “Denmark charges 4 suspects in terror plot against Prophet Muhammad cartoons,” […]
New York: Muslim gets 27 years of prison dawah for misunderstanding Islam, trying to join al-Qaeda
You’d think that with all these Misunderstanders of Islam eager to commit violence for their misunderstood version of their peaceful faith, that Hamas-linked CAIR and other self-proclaimed moderate Muslim groups in the U.S. would institute some sort of program teaching against this peculiarly widespread misunderstanding of Islam in U.S. mosques and schools. Hmm, I wonder […]
Afghan clerics: Obama’s apology can never be accepted
It bears repeating as often as is necessary: so many apologies and promises of trial and punishment are validating a process which, for many of its backers, can only rightly end through retribution in blood, and even that will not be the end. Nothing will never be enough, because the response, a lethal orgy of […]
Pakistan: Christian woman tortured, paraded in streets for “anti-Islam views”
On the anniversary of the assassination of Shahbaz Bhatti, there seems to be little sense of urgency in Islamabad as long as the victims are not Sunni Muslims, but the same impulses that lead to the persecution of non-Sunnis and non-Muslims will ultimately devour Pakistan itself. “Pakistan woman tortured, paraded in streets for ‘anti-Islam views’,” […]
Turkey: Women’s protection law watered down
Concepts such as “equality of woman and man,” “de facto equality,” “gender equality in society,” and “domestic violence” were removed from the draft law. Funny how that keeps happening: resistance to reforms in favor of protection and expansion of women’s rights in Islamic societies routinely invokes Islamic law and principles. The proverbial elephant in the […]
Hamas gives talk show to female jihadist involved in 2001 Jerusalem pizza restaurant bombing
The “Breeze of the Free” smells a bit like brimstone. “Female terrorist hosts talk show on Hamas TV,” by Khaled Abu Toameh for the Jerusalem Post, March 2: Ahlam Tamimi, the Palestinian woman who helped plan the suicide bombing attack at the Sbarro restaurant in the center of Jerusalem in 2001, is now hosting a […]
Nigeria: Boko Haram lives up to name, burns down 7 schools
Jihad causes poverty, courtesy of the group whose name translates as “Western Education is Sacrilege.” The great irony is that Boko Haram is dependent on people who can read and write, and use technology. It would be one thing if the jihadists stuck to dumbing down themselves. If there are going to be jihadists, let […]
My jihad can beat up your jihad: Suicide bombing on rival group kills 23 in Pakistan
As was also recently on display in Indonesia, and has been on display in the Palestinian territories for many years, jihadist groups eventually turn on each other, guaranteeing continued instability even after they would ever run out of infidels to target. “Suicide bomber hits Pakistan militant base, 23 killed,” from the Associated Press, March 2: […]
