International Union for Muslim Scholars forbids normalization with Israel
The International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS), located in Qatar, is a leading organization in the “anti-Zionist” movement against Israel and all Western interests, so this prohibition of normalization is to be expected. The IUMS was founded by Yusuf Al Qaradawi, the infamous spiritual and ideological leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. According to Al Arabiya, […]
Why Is Joe Biden Channeling Osama bin Laden?
On July 20, 2020, the American Muslim advocacy organization Emgage through its political arm Emgage Action hosted a virtual Million Muslim Vote Summit. One of its prominent speakers was former VP Joe Biden, whom Emgage Action had endorsed for President in the coming election.

Obama is Responsible for Racial Tensions in America Today
My latest in the American Thinker: Racism is America’s original sin, and despite a century and a half and more of efforts to put it behind us, it is more of an issue than ever. A great deal of this is the responsibility of a man whose election to the presidency was hailed as the […]
On 9/11, Newsweek Wonders if ‘Islamophobia’ Is the ‘Last Acceptable Form of Prejudice’
My latest in PJ Media: What exactly is “Islamophobia”? A Newsweek feature published on September 11 examines this question in detail – and what better day for such an examination, for as everyone knows, the story of the 9/11 jihad terror attacks is about how Muslims are victims, not about jihad terrorism.In the course of […]

Leftist/jihadist alliance in action.

Catholic jurist slams Charlie Hebdo for reprinting Muhammad cartoons, warns of ‘dangerous or negative’ consequences
No one seems to consider the primary risk of bowing to death threats and violent intimidation: it only encourages more. Does Giuseppe Dalla Torre want Catholics of future generations to live on their knees, bowing to every threat? Apparently so. “Jurist Parrots Pope: ‘Don’t Mock Muhammad,’” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, September 14, 2020: ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) […]
Trump hails ‘dawn of a new Middle East’ as he presides over signing of UAE and Bahrain accords with Israel
These accords are based on pragmatic considerations, ignoring the Islamic imperative of jihad and its deeply ingrained anti-Semitism. As I have noted many, many times, what Islam teaches is one thing, and what any individual Muslim or Muslim group may do is quite another. In this case, the UAE and Bahrain have demonstrated that their […]
Honor killing in Iraqi Kurdistan: Muslim murders his two daughters, hides bodies
“Violence against women is common in Iraqi Kurdistan, despite government promises to prevent it.” Why is that? A culture of violence, the foundational text of which commands men to beat women from whom they “fear disobedience” (Qur’an 4:34), is going to give rise to this sort of thing. In the Qur’an also is the strange […]

Mainstream analysts routinely point to the killing of fellow Muslims by Islamic jihadis as proof that the jihadis aren’t actually Muslims at all, but have twisted and hijacked the religion of peace and are making war against true Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The reality, however, is that Islamic law mandates a death penalty for heresy […]
