The boy was released. Of course. It isn’t as if he did something serious such as burning a Qur’an. “Seine-et-Marne: a schoolboy threatens his geography-history teacher to ‘cut her like Samuel Paty,’” translated from “Seine-et-Marne : un collégien menace sa prof d’histoire-géo de la ‘découper comme Samuel Paty,’” by Sophie Bordier, Le Figaro, November 13, […]

UK: Law Commission calls for ‘hate crime and hate speech laws’ that would criminalize Muhammad cartoons
“The Law Commission is the statutory independent body created by the Law Commissions Act 1965 to keep the law of England and Wales under review and to recommend reform where it is needed.” The reform it sees as needed now is a surrender to violent intimidation and abandonment of the freedom of expression in favor […]
Egypt: Public prosecutor orders urgent investigation into social media conversation insulting Muhammad
A glimpse into the future of the West. Don’t believe me? Ask Richard Stengel. “Egyptian public prosecutor orders investigation of messages insulting Islam’s Prophet on social media,” Ahram Online, November 11, 2020: Egypt’s Public Prosecutor Hamada El-Sawi ordered an urgent investigation into a text conversation circulated on social media of a person insulting Prophet Muhammad, […]
Biden transition official wants speech restrictions, criminalization of burning of Qur’an
I’m not in favor of the burning of any book, and I believe that people ought to read and understand the Qur’an rather than burn it. However, note that Stengel is calling for legal “guardrails” against “speech that incites hate.” If someone burns a Bible, no one cares. If someone burns a Qur’an, there are […]
Obama says Biden advised against raid on Osama bin Laden
Biden was no doubt motivated in this case purely by pragmatic considerations; there is no indication that Hunter Biden was on bin Laden’s payroll. But there is also no doubt that a Biden administration, with its inevitable focuses on “Islamophobia” and “right-wing extremism” rather than jihad terror, would enable a massive expansion of jihad operations […]
Lebanese Christian: Europe has erred in assuming Muslim immigrant communities would adopt European worldview
Habib Malik is correct in this. He is also correct that “Arab Christian support for outraged Muslims, while commendable on one level, stems from an inherited sense of dhimmitude, he said. Under centuries of Muslim rule, the Christian dhimmi accepted second-class status and paid a special tax in order to be a protected community.” This […]
Muslim warns Macron to end his ‘Islamophobia,’ says ‘you are still alive, but just wait until a Muslim reaches you’
The reference to “Islamophobia” is rich. Mian Haseeb Madni is, in the name of Islam and in explicit and avowed accord with its teachings, is offering a $315,000 reward for the murder of Emmanuel Macron. At the same time, he is decrying Macron’s “Islamophobia.” Why, a religion as chummy as this should be loved by […]

Austria’s Kurz: Fight ‘ideological basis’ of terrorism. Merkel: It’s not a conflict between Islam and Christianity.
European leaders met in a video conference to coordinate the “fight against political Islam” and quickly made clear that their fight is foredoomed. “Kurz would like to fight above all the ideological basis behind the terror.” All right. But then Merkel “declared that terrorism is not a conflict between Islam and Christianity. ‘Every form of […]
UK: Muslim rapist had ‘a number of relationships with young girls in foster care’ and police did nothing
Another shocking instance of dereliction of duty to protect Muslim rape gangs and to avoid being called “Islamophobic.” The coverup is systemic in Britain, and although Muslim rape gang activity is widely known now, that activity persists and so does the coverup, from the government to police and social workers. “Police failings left Rotherham predator […]
