Now wait a minute. Don’t these Muslim clerics know that the Taliban are hijacking the peaceful religion of Islam and twisting its teachings to justify violence? Tiny Minority of Extremists Update: “Pakistani clerics to boycott peace conference,” by Kathy Gannon for the Associated Press, February 18 (thanks to Maxwell): ISLAMABAD (AP) “” Pakistani clerics upset […]

This is about as meaningful as his Nobel Prize. Pamela Geller nails it, calling it the “Please-Don’t-Hurt-Us Award” and noting: “It’s an interesting strategy. I am sure Israel’s top psychiatrists thought this one up. Feed the narcissist. Perhaps he’ll do less harm. What are they calling it? The Hagel? The Brennan? Or the Mursi? Or […]

The charge of apostasy is itself a death threat. Muhammad said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57).

Yet the world remains silent, and the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims does nothing to rein in their violent coreligionists. “Muslim insurgents launch 50 attacks in Thailand’s deep south,” by David Eimer in the Telegraph, […]

Islamic supremacists can brook no dissent, no disagreement, no questioning. This is of a piece with the OIC’s ongoing efforts to intimidate the West into criminalizing criticism of Islam, and with the relentless character assassination and defamation of foes of jihad and Islamic supremacism. The jihad must proceed unopposed and unimpeded — and once successful, […]

One main reason for this is to “keep the Coptic community in check.” For Islamic supremacists in Egypt, as elsewhere, are so desperately insecure that they must viciously and violently oppress a group that forms ten percent of the population. “Fayoum church and “˜garbage” reporting,” by Rana Allam for Daily News Egypt, February 18: Sectarian […]
