Islamic tolerance. The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve […]

Islamic State brides stab 16-year-old girl and one-legged man to death for leaving Islam
In this case these women were not behaving in an “extremist” manner. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of […]
British Museum exhibit explores the influence of Muslim culture on the West
Does this exhibit explain how the Islamic influence on Western art was severely limited by the fact that Sharia forbids representation of the human form? Or would that reflect negatively upon Islam and Sharia, and so is forbidden to be stated? Will the British Museum host an exhibition on how Western art influenced the Islamic […]
General who issued groveling apology for alleged Qur’an desecration says Trump has blood on his hands over Kurds
Here is General Allen several years ago, issuing an embarrassing and groveling apology to “the noble people of Afghanistan” for an alleged desecration of the Qur’an by U.S. troops: General Allen clearly had no idea how weak and pusillanimous his repeated apologies in this video made him appear to many, if not most, of “the […]
Loyola Marymount University accuses YAF of “Islamophobia” for posting “counter-jihad poster”
I am an “anti-Muslim extremist,” claims Cristobal Spielmann, and offers this as his explanation of why: a pamphlet I wrote “takes every opportunity to paint the near entirety of Islam and the Quran as violent while creating a paranoid ‘us vs. them’ narrative of the West in a moral struggle with Islam.” In reality, of […]
Trump denounces Turkey’s incursion into Syria, imposes economic sanctions
This won’t be enough for those who are clamoring for the US to go to war with Turkey. All those who are claiming that Trump is under Erdogan’s thumb will keep on saying it. Meanwhile, there is no doubt that Turkey is an unreliable ally, and that the alliance should be ended, and Turkey should […]
Tariq Ramadan’s Sympathy for the “Psychotic” Mikael Harpon
Tariq Ramadan, the “towering intellect” and “leading Islamic scholar” whom Time magazine in 2004 called one of the world’s “100 most influential thinkers,” but who has also been charged with multiple rapes involving “extreme sexual violence,” had a brief but characteristically mendacious comment on Mikael Harpon, the Muslim who killed four people – three policemen […]
ABC News uses footage from Kentucky gun range, claims it’s video from frontline battle between Kurds and Turks
Syria, Kentucky — what’s the difference? When even CNN admits that “this is a big black eye for ABC News,” you know it’s very bad. It strains credulity to think this happened by mistake. ABC, like all of the establishment media, was so avid to use the Turkish incursion into Syria to get Trump that […]
France: Five Muslims, including an imam, arrested in connection with Paris police jihad massacre
An imam? But how did he overlook all the Qur’an’s teachings of peace and tolerance that are so blazingly obvious to imams such as Pope Francis? “French police arrest five, including an imam, in connection with knife attack on Paris police station,” by Henry Samuel, Telegraph, October 14, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): […]
France: Education Minister reveals a dozen cases of “radicalized” Muslim public school teachers
Did anyone vet them when they were hired? Of course not. To have done so would have been “Islamophobic.” “French Govt Minister Announces a Dozen Cases of Radicalised Muslim Teachers,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 12, 2019: French Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer revealed cases of a dozen Muslim public school teachers who have been radicalised, […]
