I was co-organizer of and a speaker at the free speech event in Garland, Texas one year ago today. Jihad Watch was a co-sponsor. It is this simple: when jihadis say that they will kill us for drawing Muhammad, we have two choices: draw Muhammad and show that we are not submitting to violent intimidation, […]
Muslim who plotted to behead Pamela Geller tried to organize other beheadings while in jail on terror charges

An Appeals Court wisely strikes down a longstanding attempt by the federal government to do what it should never be doing: deciding what is acceptable speech and what isn’t. “Federal Circuit Court of Appeals Finds First Amendment Applies to Trademarks and Rules that ‘Disparaging’ Cannot Be Used to Deny Expressive Trademarks Like ‘Stop Islamisation of […]
‘Sandboxing’ Islam Revisited: How to Protect America from Jihad Terrorism
Donald Trump’s recent call for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on,” is not a new or original idea.
