Said prosecutor Andrew McCarthy: The Blind Sheikh is a doctor of Islamic jurisprudence graduated from al-Azhar University in Cairo, the seat of Sunni Islamic learning for over a millennium. His area of expertise is sharia — Islam’s legal code and societal framework. The jihadists who listened to him did so because he is an internationally […]

Islamic State jihadi says mass rapes of non-Muslim women were “normal”
In Islamic law, it is normal: the seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful to you your wives to whom […]
Merkel: Europe must take in more Muslim migrants, Islam “is not the cause of terrorism”
Everyone is so confident that that is the case, except, of course, the terrorists themselves, who are just as confident that their inspiration and impetus comes entirely from Islam. No one in the West seems particularly troubled by this cognitive dissonance. “Angela Merkel says Europe must take MORE refugees and Islam ‘isn’t source of terror,’” […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Salat and Zakat in Summerville, South Carolina
Recently, parents in Summerville, South Carolina became aware that their sixth-grade children were being taught about Islam in school. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with learning something of value about Islam. It was what, and how, they were being taught that some found objectionable. Part of what the students were required to do was, unsurprisingly, […]
UK: Tory MP says views of some conservative Anglicans “differ little from ISIL”
Michael Fabricant states: Simply opting for more of the same for the sake of unity amongst a diverse Communion – some of whose views differ little from ISIL – is a choice of quantity over quality. If anyone has come across reports of conservative Anglicans blowing up an “infidel” infant in explosives training, beheading unbelievers, […]
Egypt: Muslims shoot Christian teacher in the head as attacks on Christians escalate
The Economist reported in December that “a massacre of Coptic Christians” in Egypt is underway, and identified “disgruntled Islamists” who are out to revenge Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi’s crackdown of the Muslim Brotherhood. Coptic Christians strongly supported el-Sisi’s ouster of his MB predecessor, Mohammed Morsi. Former Unit 777 (an Egyptian military counter-terrorism and special operations unit) chief-of-staff […]
Pope Francis: “Migrations are not a danger. They are a challenge for growth.”
Not a danger? Let’s see. Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian; Ahmad Khan Rahami, an Afghan Muslim migrant, in September 2016 set off bombs in New York City and New Jersey; Arcan Cetin, a Turkish Muslim migrant, in September 2016 murdered […]
Denver: Pipe bombs discovered in hotel room of Muslim ex-Marine
Nothing to be concerned about: “Sultan Hayat, the father of the suspect, said his son has history of mental health problems, including PTSD, bipolar disorder and symptoms of attention deficit disorder.” Ah, that explains it. “Adam Hayat wrote ‘explosives’ on mirror in Denver hotel room, leading police to find pipe bombs, feds say,” by Jesse […]
Pope Francis: “Muslim terrorism does not exist”
“What he apparently meant is that not all Christians are terrorists and not all Muslims are terrorists—a fact evident to all—yet his words also seemed to suggest that no specifically Islamic form of terrorism exists in the world, an assertion that stands in stark contradiction to established fact.” Indeed. Pope Francis is not only disastrously […]
Trump Upsets the Academic Foreign Policy Establishment
“Previous administrations, Republican and Democrat, very sharply resisted” the Middle East foreign policy outlook of America’s new president, Donald Trump. So argued George Washington University Middle East studies professor Nathan Brown during the February 7 presentation “Trump’s Foreign Policy Positions on Palestine and the Middle East” at Washington, DC’s anti-Israel Jerusalem Fund. The hackneyed views […]
