Georgetown U ditches Nazi speaker, but still features prof who defended Islamic supremacism and denied bin Laden played role in 9/11
Natana DeLong-Bas It is not surprising considering that this event took place at John Esposito’s Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU). But cut Esposito and his Center some slack: they hadn’t scheduled the Nazi speaker because he was a Nazi, but because he is a defender of Muslim Brotherhood rule in Egypt. […]
Pakistan: Man arrested for sharing blasphemous material on Facebook
Stories like this reveal the endgame of the hysteria about “Islamophobia” that Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Reza Aslan’s Aslan Media keep trying to whip up.

UK: Politician warns of Islamic jihad threat, Muslim politician responds by pointing to violent Biblical passages
Lord Pearson Baroness Warsi’s argument is extremely common and extremely disingenuous. The West Wing scene is clever, but ultimately hollow: both Judaism and Christianity have developed interpretative traditions that have in various ways moved away from the literal interpretation of the cited Biblical passages. Among Muslims, by contrast, there are armed jihad groups justifying violence […]
Pakistan: Islamic jihad group vows to continue fighting until Sharia governs the country
By that they mean stonings, amputations, the execution of apostates, the denial of free speech, etc. Only in the West do Muslim spokesmen pretend that Sharia has no particular character and can be implemented in any number of ways. “TTP vows to continue struggle until Shariah governs Pakistan,” from The News International, November 22 (thanks […]
