“If (the shooter) followed the true meaning of the religion, they would know they shouldn’t commit violence. They wouldn’t be able to. In this religion, there is no time, no space for any type of violence.” The Islam of Imam Ahmedin Mehmedovic is apparently a hustling, bustling faith that is just too busy for any […]

Gay Muslim: Islam is no religion of peace
Parvez Sharma engages in some fashionable moral equivalence here — neither Judaism nor Christianity are today calling for the killing of gays — and ignores the fact that Muhammad himself called for the killing of homosexuals, but his words here nonetheless represent a tremendous advance over the denial and deception that usually dominate the mainstream […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: It Was John Brennan Himself Who Halted LEO Training on Islam, Jihad
Over at PJ Media today I discuss John Brennan’s hypocrisy in lamenting the “global reach” of the Islamic State when he has done so much to enable it: While testifying in an open session of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, CIA director John Brennan admitted Thursday: Despite all our progress against ISIL on the […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: When a Petulant President Presumes to Give Lessons in Language
And let me make a final point. For a while now, the main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle have made in the fight against ISIL is to criticize the administration and me for not using the phrase “radical Islam.” That’s the key, they tell us. We cannot […]
Ben Rhodes: “Will be more effective combating ideology” of Islamic State “if we don’t describe them as religious org”
This is so counterfactual that it boggles the mind — and it’s official U.S. government policy. Ben Rhodes is actually saying that we will be more effective in combating the Islamic State’s ideology if we pretend that it is other than what it is. Meanwhile, the Islamic State continues to win recruits among Muslims around […]
Muslim who said 9/11 “changed the world for good” is on Homeland Security Advisory Council
How by any stretch of anyone’s imagination can Laila Alawa be seen as someone who cares in the slightest degree about “homeland security”? She is quite obviously on the other side, and if we had a sane political and media culture, her presence on the DHS Advisory Council would be a major scandal. “Syrian Immigrant […]
UK Muslim police chief: “Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of offending culture, religion or tradition”
That means that speaking out against jihad violence, or the Sharia oppression of women, non-Muslims, and gays, or the anti-Semitism that is so deeply ingrained in the Qur’an and Sunnah, is not, in Umer Khan’s view, speech that should be accorded protection, but should, rather, be forcibly silenced. Welcome to the New Britain, where people […]
Non-Muslim Utah Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox apologizes to LGBTs for Orlando jihad massacre
Bosch Fawstin, the winner of the Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas last year, put it succinctly: “I had nothing to do with the atrocity in Orlando. You had nothing to do with it. America had nothing to do with it. Only a devout Muslim did.” Spencer Cox did not murder 49 […]
DHS whistleblower: “Self-radicalization” is myth, “concept of operating alone is anathema to the Islamic worldview”
Phil Haney on Orlando jihad mass murderer Omar Mateen and his mosque: “Imagine what it must have been like to be an active-duty subject matter expert in counter-terrorism. I had my own superiors making these kind of statements incessantly. When I was sitting there with evidence, for example, about the Ft. Pierce mosque – not […]
Reading the Qur’an during Ramadan 12: Juz Wa ma min dabbah
Then follow the stories of various prophets, all revolving around their rejection by perverse and obstinate unbelievers. Allah tells the story of Noah and the ark, with a significant difference from the Biblical story (11:25-49). In Genesis 6-9, Noah has nothing to do with the unbelievers at all; God tells him, “I have determined to […]
