Interfaith outreach in Syria: Bodies of Christian family discovered in a well
The Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III says: “I do not understand why the world does not raise its voice against such acts of brutality.” Here is why: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue […]
Al Jazeera paying for exiled Muslim Brotherhood leaders” hotel rooms
This bears out what Pamela Geller has written about Al Jazeera: The fact is that the U.S. government should designate Al Jazeera a terrorist organization, in the same way that it designated Al Manar (Hezb’Allah TV) a terror organization.

Hamas school curriculum for Gaza: “All of Palestine from the sea to the river belongs to us, to us Muslims”
Meanwhile, the learned analysts persist in the delusion that Israeli land concessions or stopping of “settlement” construction will bring peace between Israel and the “Palestinians.” “Hamas puts “˜resistance” on Gaza schools curriculum,” from AFP, November 5 (thanks to Pamela Geller): The Gaza Strip’s Hamas government said on Tuesday it had added studies to encourage “resistance […]

Boston Marathon jihad mass murderer: “We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all”
In a sane society, Tsarnaev’s statement would trigger a full investigation of what is being taught in mosques, and a demand that those mosques institute programs to teach against this understanding of Islam. Instead, it will probably herald more hand-wringing about “Islamophobia.” “Accused Boston bomber scrawled messages expecting death: lawyers,” from Reuters, November 5 (thanks […]

“The Jesus that Aslan wants to present is the ‘zealot,’ which is to say, the Jewish insurrectionist intent upon challenging the Temple establishment in Jerusalem and, above all, the Roman military power that dominated the land of Israel.” In other words, Reza Aslan’s Jesus is someone very like Reza Aslan, who appears to be intent […]
Denmark: Ex-Muslim poet receives 27 death threats after saying that Islam needs to be reformed
“They can’t handle criticism”¦they”re not interested in dialogue.” That is exactly my experience.
