On the remarkable and unprecedented pretext that halal meat “is offensive to many of their non-Muslim colleagues” — a fact that if one brings up in the U.S., one is immediately charged with “bigotry” and “hate.” We are all supposed to eat halal meat, even when it is not labeled as such, and like it, […]

87% of Afghan men misunderstand Islam, subject women to physical or sexual violence or forced marriage
Islamic spokesmen in the West constantly assure us that Islam respects women — I was not too long ago in a somewhat riotous debate with the Imam Moustafa Zayed on just that topic. And so it is extremely odd that in Afghanistan, a country where virtually everyone is Muslim, most Afghan men seem to misunderstand […]

Egypt’s Salafists: No Christmas greetings to Christians
Spreading their usual warmth and good cheer ahead of the Orthodox observance of Christmas. No word on Hanukkah, but you can probably more or less connect the dots. We also can’t rule out a Festivus Fatwa somewhere down the line, while they’re at it, to prohibit Muslim participation in the Airing of Grievances. And the […]
Surprise! Muslim Brotherhood won’t recognize Israel, deputy leader says group will seek to cancel peace treaty

An update on this story. “Egypt arrests Christian over Muhammad drawing,” by Maggie Michael for the Associated Press, December 31 (thanks to Kenneth): CAIRO “” Egyptian authorities have detained a Coptic Christian student accused of posting a drawing of Islam’s prophet on Facebook that triggered two […]
Palestinian Authority Ambassador invents history, claims that “Palestine and its people are mentioned more than 250 times” in Bible
This is naked historical revisionism. The “Palestinians” of today have no ethnic or national connection whatsoever with the Philistines of the Bible. From the indispensable “Myths and Facts” site: Palestinian Arabs cast themselves as a native people in “Palestine” — like the Aborigines in Australia or Native Americans in America. They portray the Jews as […]
“Abbas” Palestinian Authority has accelerated its broader campaign to expunge Jewish history and identity from the Holy Land”
One of the greatest obstacles the PA and Hamas face is that the archaeological evidence does not line up with Islam’s revisionist account of history, which appropriates the major figures of Judaism and Jesus himself as prophets and messengers of Islam. Islam’s claim on the territory depends on that, and on Muhammad’s “night journey” to […]
