Saudi Arabian officials recently arrested 27 Christians—among them several women and children—for the crime of “conducting Christian prayers” and being “in possession of Bibles,” reports Arab media. The group of Christians, most if not all of whom were Lebanese nationals, were celebrating a Virgin Mary feast day when authorities stormed their residence and arrested them. […]

Australia: Muslim refugee rapes 10-year-old boy, says what he did is not a crime because it’s acceptable in his homeland
In Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Islamic world, this kind of behavior is broadly tolerated. Women are so devalued, men look to other men and boys for sexual pleasure. Also, the Qur’an promises not just virgins to the blessed, but boys like “scattered pearls”: “Those are the ones brought near in the Gardens of Pleasure, […]
“Free pass for terrorists” as US court cancels $654 million verdict against PLO
“The United States government had said last year that the case threatened to financially destabilize the Palestinian government and harm the region.” Oh my, we can’t have a “destabilized” “Palestinian” government. It might start lobbing rockets at Israeli civilians and calling for genocide on its TV channel! “‘Free Pass for Terrorists’ as US Court Cancels […]
Canadian Human Rights Commission advertises Islam as a religion of peace and justice
The Canadian Human Rights Commission sponsored a webinar entitled “Building Bridges Between Cultures,” promoting Islam as a religion of peace and justice that shares values with other major faiths. But given the sizeable problem the globe is experiencing with political Islam, the first question one might ask is, why is this ignored? The second question […]
Saudi Arabia: 2000 lashes, 10 years in jail for tweeting about being atheist
Saudi Arabia has sentenced a man to “10 years in jail and 2,000 lashes for tweeting that he was an atheist,” under its system of Sharia law. “The hardline Islamic state has a law defining atheist beliefs as ‘terrorism,’” so “God help him” is right. And to think Westerners are still being misled with falsehoods, […]
Brits overwhelmingly support banning burqa despite French hoopla
Brits overwhelmingly support banning the Islamic burqa, by a ratio of two to one. “The poll comes after a row in France over a woman who was forced to undress by armed police.” That row became a media circus, with accusations about human rights violations. Meanwhile, the authenticity of the woman who all too readily shed […]
Palestinian Authority: Jerusalem Wine Festival “an affront to Islam”
The principle is always and everywhere the same: when you’re in a Muslim country, you should conform your behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. And when you’re in a non-Muslim country, you should conform your behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. “Jerusalem Wine Festival – ‘An affront to Islam,’” by Dalit Halevy, Arutz Sheva, August 31, 2016: […]
Kerry: Jihadis “define a great religion Islam in a way that doesn’t reflect that religion. They steal it, hijack it.”
Kerry repeats this yet again without explaining it. In reality, the Islamic State’s beheadings (47:4), sex slavery (4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30), subjugation of Christians (9:29), global imperative (8:39) and more are all based upon the Qur’an. Indeed, everything the Islamic State does is scrupulously based on the Qur’an and Sunnah. But Kerry doesn’t feel […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Iran: ‘We Welcome War With the U.S.’
Iran has little time left to trample on Obama. How far will they go? My latest in PJ Media: Last week, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sent four vessels to “harass” a U.S. warship near the Strait of Hormuz. A prim schoolmarm of a U.S. official called the Iranian action “unsafe and unprofessional.” In […]
Islamic State names Pope “enemy number one” for being a “non-believer”
What a shame that these two, who should be such good friends, have fallen out. The Pope should travel to Raqqa now, open up the Qur’an, and explain to the caliph and other Islamic State leaders how they are misunderstanding the peaceful religion of Islam. Then they can begin a harmonious “dialogue,” and peace will […]
