Shakila, the ex-Muslim living in a Muslim country who blogs at Liberated, has a new post up about Muslim men, Muslim women, and marriage: Each time I see a Muslim woman dressed up in the complete Islamic burqa with only her dead expressionless eyes piercing through the black face veil, I cannot but help feel […]

Report: American Bible translators bowdlerize scriptures to avoid offending Muslims: no “Father” and “Son”
If this is true, for the parties they are trying not to offend, anything short of Islam — of professing that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is his messenger — would be “offensive.” This is not making Christianity more palatable. It is de-Christianizing it. It is manufacturing yet another Christian heresy. […]
U.K.: Girls as young as nine being forced into marriage
Nine. There’s that number again. Now, everyone knows only the greasiest of greasy Islamophobes retail the notion that the practice of marrying girls as young as nine has something to do with Muhammad marrying Aisha when she was six and consummating the marriage when she was nine, and he was six times her age at […]
Defense secretary Panetta: Pakistan must have known someone of interest was in bin Laden compound
Indeed. It defies imagination that a secretive group holed up in a meticulously controlled compound in close proximity to the Pakistani military never made them wonder who their neighbors were. Panetta’s observations echo what he said after the bin Laden raid in May: either the Pakistanis were incompetent, or complicit, though Panetta now seems to […]
Tunisia: Retired teacher says “We spent our lives educating people, and now some want us to go back in time 14 centuries”
Wherever Sharia experiences a resurgence, the observable effect is an increase in harassment and a decline in tolerance, of human rights, and civil liberties. Note the woman below who even found the grocer scolding her about her jeans. And she observed: “Everything becomes tougher: Going to see a gynaecologist, what to wear, how to talk.” […]
Denmark: More Muslim violence against non-Muslims
Recently a Danish cop broke the taboo and said what many already know: Immigrant criminals target Danes to make them move out of (Muslim) area. As a follow-up, I will here publish a few statements made by a Christian priest, a Danish police officer and a council chairman that confirm this observation: Translated from Kristeligt […]
Islamonausea, not Islamophobia
We should stop using Muslims’ self-chosen word — “Islamophobia” — by which they paint themselves into a corner of being feared: it destroys communication. Instead of such a divisive term, we should insert a more approachable and factual word that preserves opportunities for bridge-building and learning: “Islamonausea.” This does not render communication impossible, but enables […]
Malaysian Muslims out to stop ‘the challenge of Christianization’
Infamous Malaysian politician Hasan Ali, who previously spoke out vociferously against solar powered talking Bibles that are allegedly being used to persuade Malaysian Muslims to become Christians, is still ‘crusading’ (if we can borrow that word) against the rising tide of ‘Christianization’ in Malaysia. Wait, I thought Islam is the perfect religion–Muslims never ever tire […]
Ali Sina: “Pamela Geller and her organizations don’t become hate groups just because a bunch of moon-bats say so”
The indomitable Ali Sina of Faith Freedom has been in a discussion of sorts with Sheila Musaji of The American Muslim, who is an established liar. His latest piece addressed to her brilliantly answers the principal charges that Leftists and Islamic supremacists routinely make against Pamela Geller and me, and our organizations. (I have reproduced […]
Dutch plan ban on face veils
It is one thing to be unidentifiable in a society where one is always under the control of a male guardian and a perpetual minor, but in a free and open society, full participation requires being identifiable as an individual and not merely in relation to another. For that matter, in the West, unlike other […]
