My latest in PJ Media: “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” The statement has been attributed most frequently to Winston Churchill, who may never actually have said it; but in these days of calls to “Defund the Police” and antifa thugs running […]

Texas: Muslim makes jihad bomb threat against University of Houston in the middle of Zoom lecture
Prepare to hear a great deal in the next few days about “Islamophobia” at the University of Houston, as the cause of this incident. “Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; […]
Italy: ‘Muslim-Friendly’ tourism project will ‘remove Christian symbols’ to make Muslim tourists more comfortable
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. “Puglia, Emiliano’s priorities: money for ‘Islamic tourism,’” translated from “Puglia, le priorità di Emiliano: soldi per il ‘turismo islamico,’” by Luca Sablone, Il Giornale, […]
Pakistan: Tens of thousands of Muslims protest over Muhammad cartoons, call for beheading of ‘blasphemers’
When did we see tens of thousands of Muslims protesting against the murder of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists? When did we see tens of thousands of Muslims protesting against the “hijacking” of their faith by jihad terrorists? That’s right, we have never seen such protests. They have never taken place. Many Muslim groups have denounced […]
Instagram blocks accounts of two Charlie Hebdo journalists for depicting Muhammad
“These accounts were deleted by mistake. We reinstated them as soon as we became aware of them, and we apologised,” says Mélanie Agazzome, Instagram’s communications director for France and southern Europe. Sure. All right. But have you ever noticed that these “mistakes” always go in one direction, toward the silencing of dissenting voices, and toward, […]
Somalia: Bill introduced in parliament that would allow a girl to be married as young as 10 years old
This is no surprise. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January […]
Those Embassies Moving to Jerusalem
There is more good news for Jerusalem on the diplomatic front. On September 4, Serbia announced that it was moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. And on the same day, Muslim-majority Kosovo announced that it would not only be establishing diplomatic relations with Israel, but according to Kosovo’s President Hashim Thaci, will be placing […]
Turkey: Nine Churches Named Hagia Sophia Have Now Been Converted to Mosques
Much of the international community has been shocked by the news concerning Turkey’s conversion of two historic Hagia Sophia churches into mosques in Istanbul and Trabzon. The famous Hagia Sophia museum in Istanbul was originally founded as a Greek Orthodox cathedral in the sixth century CE. It was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman […]
Afghanistan: Taliban jihadis freed from prison by the government return to the jihad
What did the mainstream analysts expect they would do? Become stockbrokers? But this does not mean we should continue the failed attempt at “nation-building” in Afghanistan. The American troops should all come home, and efforts devoted to quarantining Afghan jihadis in Afghanistan so that they can’t wage their jihad outside of that country. “Freed Taliban […]
