University of California Merced stands by Muslim professor with anti-Semitic Twitter account

By

James Chiavelli, University of California Merced’s vice chancellor of external relations, “offered no comment or condemnation of the antisemitic material pushed by Ghassemi on Twitter,” and “emphasized that the university’s principles include a right to free speech.” Of course! Free speech! It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if a University […]

Muslim former US professor who was darling of the American Left renews call for Israel’s destruction

By

Longtime Jihad Watch readers will remember Sami Al-Arian, the former University of South Florida professor who for years was a darling of the Leftist intelligentsia. In March 2002, Nicholas Kristof went to bat for the professor in the New York Times: “The point is not whether one agrees with Professor Al-Arian, a rumpled academic with […]

France: Muslim migrant with ‘visible psychiatric disorders’ gets six months for sexual assault of 15-year-old girl

By

Here is a variant on the frequently recurring phenomenon of the global outbreak of mental illness. Instead of covering for a jihad attack, here “psychiatric disorders” cover for a sexual assault. Would this fellow have been dismissed as having “a moderate impairment of discernment,” and would he have gotten only six months, if he had […]

Iran’s Rouhani: ‘We are nullifying sanctions on both exports and imports’

Wonder Woman 1984: ‘I didn’t pick up on the blatant Islamophobia during my initial viewing’

By

Maybe Farid-ul-Haq initially missed the “Islamophobia” in “Wonder Woman 1984” because one has to strain so hard to see it at all. What exactly constitutes “Islamophobia” is never defined in this article; it is taken for granted that everyone knows what it is, and it appears that Farid-ul-Haq thinks of it as an irrational prejudice […]

Nigeria: Muslims murder three loggers, kidnap dozens more

By

Hostage-taking is sanctioned in Islamic law and subject to particular rules: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale […]

The ‘intolerance and animosity’ that Muslims exhibit toward non-Muslims is not new — it’s 1,400 years old

By

The Palestinian Christian Bishara Bahbah paints a grim picture of the lot of Christians in Hamas-ruled Gaza, but at the same time he misleadingly describes a pollyannish version of how Palestinian Christians live in the PA-ruled parts of the West Bank. In this version, Christians get along swimmingly with their Muslim “friends and neighbors.” The […]

Pakistan: Each year, 1,000 Hindu and Christian girls are forcibly converted to Islam

Remember Steve Centanni and […]
