My latest in PJ Media: You know what you need? The New York Times knows. Your moral superiors at the Times know that what you need today is a harrowing tale of racism, oppression, “Islamophobia,” xenophobia, and all the rest of the things make for a true horror story as far as the Left is […]

India: Survivors say Muslims selectively hunted and targeted Hindus in pre-planned riots
But in this instance, as in so many others, Muslim groups are claiming victim status, with the eager assistance of the international media. “The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.’” (Bukhari 4.52.269) “Fact-finding report on Bengaluru riots: Survivors claim Hindus were selectively hunted and targeted during the pre-planned riots,” OpIndia, September 19, 2020: Thirty-seven days after […]
Pakistan: Police torture imprisoned Christians, tell them they’ll be released if they convert to Islam
If the roles were reversed here, which they would not be and should not be, this would be screaming international news. But this will get no notice. “Pakistan: ‘Police said, if we didn’t convert to Islam we’d face prison,’” by Fionn Shiner, ICN, September 1, 2020: A man, who spent nearly five years in prison […]
Syria: Brother of Women’s Protection Units fighter murders her because she ‘brought shame and dishonor upon family’
An indelible detail leaps out from this report: “In the region, there is a history of men being accused of killing women or girls perceived to have brought shame to a family or tribe being given token sentences, or in other cases, escaping justice entirely.” Now, why is that? Her brother said he killed her […]
Mozambique: Islamic State takes over celebrity vacation islands, burns luxury hotels and imposes Sharia
The destruction of such places is for the Islamic State (ISIS) an act of devotion to Allah, not just because they consider luxury resort hotels to be centers of sin and debauchery, but because the Qur’an says that the ruins of non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: […]
Switzerland: Muslim was carrying Qur’an when he murdered man, says he killed to ‘avenge the Prophet’
Swiss authorities had previously decided that this fellow was mentally ill, so they had put him up in a hotel room and were looking for a place for him in a psychiatric institution.

Turkey: Muslims deface and destroy priceless Byzantine frescoes in Panagia Sumela monastery
Note that mostly the faces are scratched out. Some Muslims believe that to remove the face or head destroys the character of the image as a depiction of a human being. Also, besides removing supposed temptations to idolatry, Islamic jihadists want to destroy the artifacts of non-Muslim civilizations because doing so testifies to the truth […]
Joe Biden Tells Jews He Wants to Stamp Out Bigotry and Antisemitism
Joe Biden wants to stamp out bigotry and antisemitism. Who could disagree? In fact, we have some suggestions as to where he might focus his efforts.

Canada: Islamic scholar says insulting Muhammad is worse than police killings of black men
“When we ask Allah to destroy and eliminate what we believe to be perhaps one of the greatest threats to humanity, we are accused of hate speech.” Not really. In reality, Mr. Kathrada, when you preach this hatred and incitement, those who call attention to what you are saying are accused of “hate speech.” “Canadian […]
Muslim migrant to US ‘found religion’ and joined ISIS: ‘I wanted to live in an Islamic country’
The conventional wisdom, hawked by mainstream counterterror analysts such as the appalling Max Abrahms, is that the Islamic State has nothing to do with genuine Islam, which Islamic jihadis generally know little to nothing about. Yet again and again we see jihadis themselves explaining that they turned to jihad after becoming devout in their observance […]
