The release date is described as an unfortunate coincidence, but it underscores massive task ahead of authorities to secure the London Olympics from Islamic supremacist disruption in any number of forms. “‘Shoe-bomb’ terrorist to be released from jail on opening day of the Olympic Games,” by Emma Reynolds for the Daily Mail, February 6: The […]
Iran: Website with ties to supreme leader runs “‘jurisprudential justification’ to kill all the Jews and annihilate Israel”
Once again, one may note the striking uniformity of Islamic antisemitism in places far removed from one another. So, did these guys call each other? “Ayatollah: Kill all Jews, annihilate Israel,” by Reza Khalili for World Net Daily February 5: The Iranian government, through a website proxy, has laid out the legal and religious justification […]
Egyptian TV: Israeli jeans have magnets that cause infertility
Now you know. And knowing is half the jihad. “Egyptian TV Debate on the ‘Invasion’ of Israeli Products into Sinai: Jeans from Israel Contained Secret Magnets Causing Infertility,” from MEMRI, February 1: Muhammad Al-Mane’i, Sinai Bedouin: There was a time when they would bring us jeans. These pants used to have belts. If you looked […]
Head of Palestinian Islamic Scholars Association misunderstands Islam, says “the Jew is a satan in human form”
Not “Zionist,” but “Jew.” Funny how this keeps happening: that striking uniformity with which Islamic hatred of Jews is expressed in places far removed from one another. Did all those guys call each other? “Sheik Bassam Al-Kayed, Head of the Palestinian Islamic Scholars Association in Lebanon: The Jew Is a Satan in Human Form, Who […]
It’s that time of year again: Muslim clerics warn against observing Valentine’s Day
It’s one thing to advise against it on religious grounds, but this missive comes from Aceh, where the imposition of Sharia has only gotten more intensive, and morality policing is already well off the rails. It is quite another matter when such a prohibition becomes grounds for harassment and intervention by law enforcement of one […]
Syria releases “mastermind” of 7/7 bombings
The message to the West is, “there’s more where this came from.” It could backfire to some extent, however, as al-Qaeda is certainly no friend of Assad’s Alawite establishment, and would like nothing better than to see it replaced by a Sunni-controlled Islamic regime. “Syria releases the 7/7 ‘mastermind”,” by Jason Lewis for the Telegraph, […]
Shocker: Turkish think-tank recommends Turkey as model for “Arab Spring” revolutions
Below is a credulous article summarizing the group’s “findings.” Western support of the “Arab Spring” has depended a great deal on wishful thinking, and continues the previous administration’s pattern of repeated attempts to prop up a “moderate” Islamic regime to serve as a model for the Muslim world. It keeps not working, because policymakers keep […]
Turkey bans French state aircraft, ships over bill against denial of Armenian Genocide
A growing export sector in Turkey is disproportionate responses to not getting its way. “Turkey Bans France From Using Its Airspace and Territorial Waters,” from PanArmenian, February 3: French state aircraft and warships are no longer using Turkish airspace and territorial waters after permission requests in three different cases were rejected by the Turkish government, […]
Iran says it will attack any country used to strike its soil
Does anyone really still believe this is about the peaceful generation of electricity? There are not only the secrecy and subterfuge to consider, but Iran’s willingness to commit economic suicide to stay the course in its nuclear program, ultimately indifferent to the suffering of its people. The ends justify the means, and the goal is […]
Pakistan: Three women killed for “loose morals”: “They deserved death. I can’t let my wife talk to other men”
The perpetrators’ sense of entitlement to control in the name of Islam’s strict separation of the sexes had been somehow challenged. The men’s attitudes were surely informed by Qur’an 4:34’s endorsement of the idea of violence (yes, violence) to control disobedient women, as they were also already beating their wives. When violence doesn’t “work” to […]
