What special accommodation has Brooklyn Tech made for Jewish religious observance? Christian religious observance? That’s right, Brooklyn Tech hasn’t made any such accommodation. Notice also how in this accommodation to Muslim students, all non-Muslim students at the prom have to be inconvenienced and made to comply with Islamic religious laws. Imagine the outcry if Brooklyn […]

Pakistan: Village court orders rape victim to be killed or sold as slave because of adultery charges
The whole idea in Islam of women covering their hair and, among some Muslims, their faces as well, is that women are the sources of male temptation. Men can’t be expected to control themselves, so it is the woman’s responsibility to cover herself so as to make sure that no temptation occurs. If a man […]
Florida museum celebrates the jihad conquest of the Hagia Sophia
“In addition to their renowned patronage of architecture, which yielded the conversion of the Church of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul into a congregational mosque…” Obscene. Here is that “renowned patronage of architecture” in action: The church was still thronged. The Holy Liturgy was ended, and the service of matins was being sung. At the sound […]
The real cause of Islamic terrorism: “We are motivated by our religion, by our Qur’an and Sunnah”
Every time a new jihad attack strikes innocents in the West, media and politicians get busy blaming “bad integration,” “poverty,” “marginalization,” “racism,” etc. For some reason, it never occurs to them to ask if Islamic terrorism has anything to do with Islam and the increasing number of followers of this particular religion in our countries.

Philippines: Islamic State jihadis shooting people dead for failing to quote the Qur’an
One might almost get the idea that this had something to do with Islam, if we didn’t have learned imams such as H. R. McMaster and Theresa May to explain to us otherwise. “ISIS teenage fighters are ‘shooting people dead for failing to quote the Koran’ in besieged Philippines city as Duterte’s military warns jihadis […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Olivier Roy, “One of France’s Top Experts On Islamic Terrorism” (Part I)
Olivier Roy, who refuses to believe that the acts of Muslim terrorists might actually be explained by reference to Islam, its texts and teachings, was quick off the mark in explaining the Manchester bombing: Salman Abedi, the suicide bomber who killed 22 people at a Manchester pop concert this week, started life advantageously enough: to […]
Taliban increasingly killing Islamic scholars to silence criticism
“The reason the Taliban resort to such acts is that they want to make sure their legitimacy is not questioned by the sermons of these ulema.” True. “The reason these ulema are getting targeted is because they tell the truth…” False. “– and the truth is that the ongoing fighting is just for power.” True. […]
Left discovers jihad, blames Trump for emboldening “jihadist” Saudi Arabia
This war on jihad terror gets stranger by the day. Many leftist purveyors of “Islamophobia” propaganda are resistant to the very word “jihad” and the reality that normative Islam is jihadist at the core and is very much driven by Islamic texts. Yet now CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, of all people, has written about “jihadist terrorism” […]
ACLU opposes Maine bill criminalizing female genital mutilation
“Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is called khufaadh ‘female circumcision’]).” — ‘Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64 […]
