Will this exhibit explain how the Islamic influence on Western art was severely limited by the fact that Sharia forbids representation of the human form? Will the British Museum host an exhibition on how Western art influenced the Islamic world, a topic about which there is a great deal that could be said, ranging from […]

An Islamic NATO, and Other Dreams (Part 1)
A Pakistani newspaper has called for Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia to lead a NATO-Like “Security Council Of Muslim Countries.” MEMRI.org provides the details here: An article in an Urdu-language daily called on Muslim leaders to establish a security council of Muslim countries like the United Nations Security Council and NATO to deal with the […]
Germany: Islamic Center Munich recommends “beating” women who are “unruly”
“The Islamic Center Munich [IZM] invokes the Koran.” Of course it does. “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom […]
Defense sources say Turkey is aiding Islamic State resurgence after Trump devastated caliphate
If these claims are true, they come as no surprise. One primary reason why Erdogan was so notably dilatory in fighting against the Islamic State may have been that he wanted to co-opt its caliphate and incorporate it in a neo-Ottoman caliphate centered in Istanbul. That could still be the ultimate goal here. “EXCLUSIVE – […]
“Palestinian” rioters at Gaza/Israel border throw rocks and firebombs at IDF troops, raise Nazi flag
Will Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denounce this and call upon the “Palestinians” to renounce their genocidal Jew-hatred? Don’t hold your breath. “Nazi Swastika Flag Raised by Palestinian Rioters During Unrest on Israel-Gaza Border,” Algemeiner, August 2, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report): Around 6,000 Palestinians rioted on the Israel-Gaza Strip border on […]
Montreal: Muslim cabbie screaming “dirty Jews! I’m going to f–ing kill you!” assaults Jewish man
The establishment media has carefully concealed anything that might give a clue as to the cab driver’s identity, but the Canadian Jewish News here reports that he was screaming at the Jewish man in Arabic. It is good that he was fired, but how many more are there in Montreal who believe the same things […]
Iran gives three women 55 years in prison for defying Islamic dress code, refusing to wear hijab
Real feminism, or, if you prefer, real respect for the human dignity and rights of women, will never accept the hijab, which is a manifestation of a belief system that regards women as inferior to men and entirely responsible for male self-control, such that women are subject to being brutalized and even killed if they […]
Sharia professor: “If you are a Muslim who believes in the Quran, you must believe that the Jews are your enemies”
Will any moderate Muslim spokesman in the West explain how Ahmad Shahrouri is misunderstanding the Qur’an? Of course not. The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe […]
Muslim Brothers Shut Out Critics
The email announcing the Eventbrite refund of my ticket for Washington, DC’s July 23-24 Muslim Collective for Equitable Democracy conference clearly indicated to me a depressingly familiar tactic of controlled public relations. Once again, defenders of Islam such as the Hamas-derived Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) had excluded the inquisitive eyes and ears of a […]
Ilhan Omar and the Door of No Return
Freshman Minnesota Congressional Representative Ilhan Omar, in an apparent bid to keep a Twitter feud alive with President Trump, tweeted a photo of herself posing with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at the “Door of No Return” on the coast of Ghana. Part of a 15-member Congressional Black Caucus junket ( funded presumably by […]
