“Given the upsurge in shootings across our country, we have a concern that someone who has been shooting at targets may run across someone wearing similar garb and commit an act of violence against them,” said Dawud Walid of Hamas-linked CAIR. And he said of the ironically named Mr. Jihad: “He told me we’re at […]

Why is Islam taboo?
This article seems to proceed from the false assumption that jihad violence and Islamic supremacism have no basis or justification in Islamic texts and teachings, but otherwise it makes a very important point: obviously there is a problem that has something to do with Islam. Why is it forbidden to discuss it? Why can there […]
#MyJihad in Indonesia: Muslims attack church with Molotov cocktails
Shhh. Don’t speak about the escalating global Muslim persecution of Christians, and its roots in Islamic texts and teachings, too loudly — it might imperil the “dialogue” with Muslims who ostensibly reject this kind of thing but do nothing to dissuade their coreligionists that it is the right thing to do. “South Sulawesi: Molotov cocktail […]
Mali: Jihadist forces counterattack against French
The French have been confident that they would roll them up quickly. They are proving more tenacious than expected, just as did the Taliban in Afghanistan after they were “toppled” ten years ago. Also as in Afghanistan, it’s likely that one reason for this is that some people are afraid to oppose them for fear […]
Iranians on revolution day chant “death to America,” “death to Israel”
Such gratitude Nothing new here. They do this every year. But just imagine the outcry if Americans or Israelis were turning out in large numbers to chant “death to Iran.” Today’s fashionable multicultural relativism masks an actual racism that holds Muslims to lower standards than it does everyone else. I say let’s hold everyone to […]
Robert Spencer: Building Bridges Between Christians and Muslims: A Case Study
In PJ Media this morning I recap the story of how the Roman Catholic bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, Robert McManus, barred me from speaking after getting pressure from the media and Islamic supremacists. This story has free speech implications far beyond this particular case. More here. Here is the petition that is circulating asking Bishop […]
Comments: technical difficulties
No, the site has not been hacked. We’re not even under attack today, except insofar as we always are. There was a problem with some of the ads last night, and in fixing it, we created some new troubles, such that right now the comments are not working. I hope they will be up and […]
UK: Muslim TV channels promote death for apostates from Islam and those who insult Muhammad
And after letting it go on since at least 2010, the “communications watchdog” Ofcom is now shocked! shocked! that such views have been broadcast. The Telegraph doesn’t mention, of course, and probably doesn’t know, that such views are standard Sharia provisions, such that it would be more surprising if the Muslim channels did not broadcast […]
Taliban jihadis freed by Pakistan have gone back to the jihad
This should not surprise anyone. Nothing was done while they were in captivity to disabuse them of their understanding that they had a responsibility before Allah to wage jihad warfare against non-Muslims and apostates (i.e., the Western-backed Karzai regime). So why would anyone have expected that, once freed, they would do anything but go back […]
Harvard law prof, Sharia apologist Noah Feldman denounces Egyptian anti-Muslim Brotherhood protestors as “counterrevolutionaries”
Noah Feldman, who was instrumental in drafting Iraq’s Sharia constitution, consistently ignores Sharia provisions mandating the subjugation of non-Muslims. And in this piece he makes it clear: he wants to see Sharia implemented in Egypt. “Egyptian Democrats May Pave the Way for Army”s Coup,” by Noah Feldman for Bloomberg, January 31 (thanks to Patrick Poole): […]
