Çavuşoğlu speaks to the European Union the way an irritated master speaks to a lazy servant. It is clear who he thinks is the boss in their relationship. Also note this: “Thanks to our efforts, irregular migratory flows to Europe have been reduced by 92 percent.” Think about that in light of Erdogan’s repeated threats […]

Al-Azhar condemns Macron’s plan for fighting ‘Islamic separatism’ as an ‘explicit call for racism and hate’
Racism? Really? What race is “Islamist separatism” again? I keep forgetting. Anyway, we have seen this many, many times before. Any counterterror initiative, no matter how mild, no matter how carefully worded, no matter how many “moderate” profiteers it puts front and center, will be condemned as “racist” and “hateful.” The effect of this is […]
UK: Muslim student enraged after being given ham sandwich during self-isolation
The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. It’s noteworthy that the London Economic thought this was news at all. If a Christian student at the University of Edinburgh were dissatisfied with […]
Italy: Muslim screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ breaks down doors of convent, vandalizes several rooms
Will Pope Francis invite this young North African to stay with him in the Vatican, where he can explain to the young man in detail how “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence”? “He shouts ‘Allah Akbar’ and breaks down the door: Maghrebi devastates a convent,” […]

Joe Biden ad features rapper who called anti-Semitic racist Nation of Islam’s Farrakhan his ‘mentor’
Farrakhan has said many egregious things, and he is also a traitor: “Mr. Trump killed my brother Qassem Soleimani. Mrs. Clinton killed my other brother Muammar Qaddafi.” Will Biden pull these ads and disavow Jeezy? Not on your life. This is playing to his base. “Joe Biden Ad Features Rapper Who Called Nation Of […]
Mozambique: Islamic State establishes new capital, carries out beheadings, takes sex slaves
If this new Islamic State (ISIS) territory gains any significant international notice, expect a new round of articles confidently asserting that ISIS has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam, and beheading and sex slavery are completely un-Islamic. We saw a spate of such articles when ISIS established its now-destroyed caliphate in Iraq and Syria. […]
An October Surprise?
Here’s an idea for an October Surprise that could transform the political landscape. It has nothing to do with the announcement of a coronavirus vaccine. Nor with Black Lives Matter. Nor with defunding the police. Nor with once-in-a-century wildfires and hurricanes that, in their intensity, happened to be just like those wildfires and hurricanes we’ve […]
NY Parole Board votes to release Muslim convicted of murdering two cops, he makes ISIS salute
“I will not be engaged in any form of violence or any form of criminality.” Yet a recent photo shows Jalil Abdul Muntaqim clearly making the sign of allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) in this photo: the upraised index finger. The signal of the index finger held up is, of course, used in myriad […]
Kenya: ‘Avoid demonising Muslims and Islam in news stories by using such terms as Islamic terrorists and jihadists’
The problem with this is that Islamic jihadists themselves call themselves jihadists. They may even consider what they do to be terrorism, in line with the Qur’an’s command to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (8:60). To call Islamic jihadists “Islamic jihadists” is not to demonize all Muslims, no matter how often this is […]
