Al-Qaeda: #MyJihad is carrying “earth-shattering, shocking and terrifying” attacks against “heart of the land of non-belief” — U.S. and Europe
The “heart of the land of non-belief”? You’d almost get the impression that their hatred of the U.S. and Europe has something to do with Islam. But I am sure that Abdul Cader Asmal and Omid Safi are working hard to set them straight. “U.S. faces new Al Qaeda threat as terror group’s ‘strike map’ […]
Robert Spencer interviews Ibn Warraq on Islam’s obscure origins

This was the third jihad attack this week against polio workers. And it’s no wonder: last summer, a Pakistani Muslim cleric said that polio vaccinations were un-Islamic. More recently, the Taliban was murdering people who were administering the polio vaccine in Pakistan. And the quest for Islamic purity continues. “Roadside bomb kills 2 polio workers […]

Catholic diocese capitulates to Islamic supremacists and Leftist media, cancels Robert Spencer conference appearance
While Christians face escalating persecution from Muslims in Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia and elsewhere, the Catholic Church temporizes, ignores the victims, and plays at “dialogue” with Islamic supremacist groups whose announced intent is to “build bridges” with non-Muslims. Such bridges are really just proselytizing mechanisms to convert them to Islam, not an attempt to […]

Hillary Clinton out of touch on Egypt: “We must make sure the revolution isn’t hijacked by extremists”

It has set in motion the Sharia’s institutionalized discrimination against women and non-Muslims. The President has been revealed as making numerous vile antisemitic statements and declaring that there should be no negotiations with Israel. […]
