Much of the curriculum of Al Azhar—the Islamic world’s most prestigious university, located in Cairo—is based on Islamic books written in the medieval era or earlier.

Gitmo prisoner reveals: Saudi “deradicalization program” is really a jihad training program
“You guys want to send me back to Saudi Arabia because you believe there is a de-radicalization program on the surface. True.

Saudi woman goes outside without hijab, receives multiple death threats
A woman going outside without a hijab? Haram, deeply offensive to Allah. Killing a woman who goes outside without a hijab? Pleasing to Allah. A hadith quotes Muhammad saying: “When a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it does not suit her that she displays her parts of body except this and this,’ and he […]
Congress unanimously passes new Iran sanctions, ignoring Obama administration threats
“The administration is attempting anything and everything possible to make the deal irreversible. In short, this means more giveaways to Iran at the expense of our own national security.” In eight years in office, the man never once moved to dispel suspicions that he does not have the United States’ best interests at heart. “Congress […]

Rep. Peter King (R-NY), a member of Homeland Security Committee, warns: The car-and-knife attack at Ohio State University by a Somali immigrant Monday has all the indications of terrorism and illustrates the problem of radicalization within the Somali refugee community in the United States.

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Who Will Blink First: Iran, or Trump?
Both have made unilateral statements. My latest in PJM: Assuming that Hillary Clinton will not find some last-ditch bit of Clintonesque chicanery that will put her in the White House after all, Donald Trump will likely be inaugurated president come January 20, and he will have an ultimatum waiting for him. The Ayatollah Khamenei warned […]
OSU’s crackdown on “Islamophobia” proves ineffective in stopping Muslim migrant’s jihad attack
“In the wake of recent terror attacks, some liberal journalists and academics have suggested that Islamophobia causes Islamic terrorism.” And so OSU set out to stamp out “Islamophobia”: “Earlier this month, the university coordinated an ‘Islam 101’ program with the Noor Islamic Cultural Center. The university’s Middle East Studies Center sponsored multiple events meant to […]
San Bernardino police chief: Jihad murderers motivated by Christmas decorations at party
“She didn’t think that a Muslim should have to participate in a non-Muslim holiday or event,” San Bernardino police chief Jarrod Burguan, in a statement with implications that are simply staggering. The message is clear: Muslims must always and in every case be accommodated. Nothing whatsoever that could possibly offend the poor dears must ever […]
Pakistan: Muslim murders his teenage daughter and her male cousin in Islamic honor killing
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father […]
