India: Writers read from Satanic Verses, then flee
The problem with a law against “outrag[ing] religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs” is that outrage and insult are in the eye of the beholder. Muslims have consistently claimed to be outraged and insulted by any truthful and accurate presentation of Islamic jihad doctrine. Is truth, then, to be […]
Shocker: “Antisemitic discourse and incitement have become more extreme and violent” since the “Arab Spring”
But hey, now, all of these remarks have surely been “taken out of context.” That’s what we’re always told. “Arab Spring sees rise in anti-Semitism,” by Gil Shefler for the Jerusalem Post, January 22: There has been an increase in anti-Semitism in the Middle East in the wake of the Arab Spring, according to a […]
Surprise! Top Palestinian cleric who quoted antisemitic hadith says his remarks were “taken out of context”
Of course. Nothing uttered frankly to a Muslim audience that has been picked up with alarm by non-Muslims has ever been taken “in context.” That only proves that the message changes with the audience. As Mohammed Hussein noted in his speech, the hadith that says “there is a Jew behind me, come kill him,” comes […]

Denmark: Church Ministry to change name to accommodate Muslims
The Danish Left won the elections September 15, 2011. The first 100 days in power, they managed to break 100 promises. Up to now the only ones who have benefited from the Left’s victory are immigrants and unemployed. I met the new Danish Church Minister, Manu Sareen, a couple of years ago in a live […]
U.K.: Prisoners converting to Islam for better food, “protection,” better treatment
This is nothing new, of course, but only a continuation of an already well documented phenomenon. As Ronald Reagan once said, if you want more of something, subsidize it. And if you want behavior to be repeated, reward it. “A third of inmates at Feltham youth jail are Muslims… and more convert to get better […]
Pakistan: Accuser of Asia Bibi, sentenced to death for blasphemy, “weighed down by guilt”; appeal may not be heard until 2015
Asia Bibi is already frail, and a reported beating at the hands of a prison guard did not help. Authorities seem to be half hoping she will die in prison so they will be spared the fallout on one hand of carrying out her sentence, or on the other, of releasing her. Qari Salam let […]
Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood and Salafists reportedly collaborate in rampage against Christians
The first incident described below was blamed on Salafists, who also just won 25% of parliament.

As one can see, they’re already working together. […]
