Pakistan: Muslim who previously murdered his mother shoots his two sisters dead in honor killing
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide.

Here is the order from Allah: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) It doesn’t say there is an age limit on that.

NATO commander: The Islamic State is “spreading like cancer” among Muslim migrants to Europe
Anyone could have and should have seen this coming. But no one in power cared to do so. Last February, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education Minister recently said that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. […]
“Study” claims that the New York Times portrays Islam more negatively than cancer
This study is a classic example of how Leftists are out of touch with reality: “Headlines from recent NYT articles reinforce the report’s claims. Here are a few, from February 14-18: Sexual Misery and Islam; Iran’s Zarif Tells European Lawmakers Islamist Militancy Also Their Problem; Bangladesh Arrests Publisher for Books Said to Hurt Muslims; Trial […]
Baghdad: At least 14 murdered in jihad-martyrdom suicide bombing at funeral
“Local security officials say a senior local leader of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, a powerful Shiite militia, was killed in the attack in Muqdadiyah, about 90 kilometres north of the capital.” Which kills more people: “Islamophobia” or the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad?

Ohio Muslims used fake credit card transactions to raise money for al-Qaeda leader al-Awlaki
Odd that al-Awlaki is not named in this AP story. Does the mainstream media’s avid desire to whitewash Islam now extend to the identity of al-Qaeda leaders? “Prosecutors say money in Ohio terrorism case went to al-Qaida leader,” Associated Press, March 1, 2016: TOLEDO, OHIO: The Latest on four men accused of raising money for […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Simon & Schuster Gets With The Program
Last week it was announced that Simon and Schuster will publish a line of Muslim-themed books for children called Salaam Reads. The undertaking appears to have been prompted by one Zareem Jaffery, an executive editor at the publishing house, who says the “aim with the Salaam Reads imprint is in part to provide fun and […]
Pakistan: 100,000 attend funeral of killer of blasphemy laws foe
Relax: it’s just a tiny minority of 100,000 extremists, chanting, “Qadri, your blood will bring the revolution” and “The punishment for a blasphemer is beheading.” Clearly the blasphemy laws, which have destroyed the lives of so many Christians and others in Pakistan, are hugely popular. No one is concerned about the human rights violations they […]
