This is a canny move, as it makes the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) appear to be a loyal, law-abiding organization that is going to respect this ruling even as it disagrees with it and fights it in the courts. And the terrorist designation is likely to be lifted, if not soon, then once a […]
Malaysia: Sharia court orders man into rehab for participating in non-Islamic ritual
We are constantly admonished in the West that we must be tolerant of Islam, although why tolerance of jihad violence and Sharia oppression is a virtue is never explained. In any case, no one ever notes that this tolerance is a one-way street. “Muslim who took part in non-Islamic ritual ordered to undergo rehab,” FMT, […]
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws: so draconian and arbitrary that even judges fear for their lives
This is a ridiculous situation that threatens everyone in Pakistan, but it cannot be fixed, because any attempt to reform the blasphemy laws will result in riots. Islamic hardliners will interpret the change as un-Islamic, and blood will flow. So everyone lives in fear from day to day, hoping no one will get the idea […]
Iran: Two teens executed for ‘enmity against Allah’ for taking part in January 2026 protests
The regime has always conflated its hegemony with obedience to Allah. For years, it has charged dissidents and protesters with the crime of enmity against Allah, a Qur’an-based crime that was vague enough to be applied to all manner of behaviors, but that always drove the point home that disobedience to the regime was disobedience […]

The Pope of Rome Meets ‘The Poet Laureate of Rock and Roll’
New in PJ Media: Bob Dylan dropped by the Vatican on Wednesday, wearing a black hoodie as if to conceal his identity; after all, as he sang in 1983, “you know it’s not even safe anymore / in the palace of the pope.” Seriously, though, in one of the more surreal news items to cross the transom […]
Nike gets fatwa for ‘promoting polytheism’ in being named after the Greek goddess of victory
Nike won’t suffer much from the loss of business in Libya, but Nike top dogs better hope this idea doesn’t spread to other majority-Muslim countries.

Iranian ex-supporter of ‘Palestinians’: Leftists support women’s rights except for Iranian women
Parishad Kavyani is pointing out a longstanding inconsistency of the left. Feminists rail against Christianity regarding the rights of women, but when presented with the genuine oppression of women in Islam, start blathering about respecting other cultures and about how the hijab is a women’s choice. This is something we have pointed out for years […]
Islamic State has stepped up attempted jihad attacks against Israel since October 7 jihad massacre

Netanyahu: ‘Radical Islam is the challenge tearing countries in Europe apart today, it is threatening us as well’
Yes, that is true, other than the “radical” modifier. It’s actually ordinary, mainstream, standard Islam. In any case, does a single head of state or government in the West dare to agree publicly with Netanyahu’s remarks here about the common threat that Israel and the countries of Europe and North America face? Of course not. […]
