“There is also a clear view that if you move and get refuge, you have to live by Norwegian standards, you can’t come and think you live in your home country when it comes to women’s rights, not to be puzzled if you see two men kiss on the street, because there are gay people […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Priebus Calls Aspects of Islam ‘Problematic.’ Are They?
The Trump administration is about to make huge decisions based on the answer. My latest in PJ Media: President-elect Trump’s new chief of staff Reince Preibus touched the political third rail Sunday when he enunciated a truth that is almost universally denied. Even those who know it to be true seldom dare speak it in […]
Priebus on Islam: “Clearly there are some aspects of that faith that are problematic”
A great hue and cry has arisen over these remarks among the best and the brightest; our moral superiors demand that we affirm that there is nothing, nothing whatsoever, problematic about Islam, and anyone who thinks otherwise is “racist” and “Islamophobic.” The fact that Islamic jihadis routinely cite Islamic texts and teachings in order to […]
Archbishop of Canterbury: Stop saying Islamic State has “nothing to do with Islam”
The UK Home Office banned me from entering Britain because I said: “[Islam] is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers…” Will Welby now be banned from Britain? “Justin Welby: It’s time to stop saying Isil has ‘nothing to do with Islam,’” by John Bingham, Telegraph, November 18, 2016: Claims […]
Tennessee: Christian mom wants history textbook removed from schools for promoting Islamic propaganda
A Christian mother from Tennessee is asking a county’s board of education to remove a history textbook that supposedly promotes Islamic propaganda to schoolchildren. The International Business Times claims that the Tennessee Christian mother is a member of an “anti-Islam parents’ group,” when the woman is specifically against Islamic propaganda and/or indoctrination — quite the difference. Every […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Geert Wilders, Or, A Daniel Come to Judgment “More In Sorrow”
In March 2014, during a political rally at The Hague, Geert Wilders asked his audience whether they wanted “more or fewer Moroccans” in The Netherlands. “Fewer, fewer,” his supporters chanted. And then he promised them that “then, we will arrange that.” He meant, of course, that if his party were to do well in the […]
Indian shooter Heena Sidhu refuses to wear hijab, withdraws from Airgun competition in Iran
The mainstream media and Islamic supremacist groups are constantly preoccupied with the supposed plight of women who wear hijab in the U.S., who, they claim, are routinely harassed and victimized. The women who are really harassed and victimized, however, are those who dare not to wear hijab in countries such as Iran where it is […]
An ex-Muslim’s open letter to the Southern Poverty Law Center
The selective outrage over Maajid Nawaz and Ayaan Hirsi Ali being included on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hit list of “anti-Muslim extremists” continues, as if they’re the only ones who don’t deserve to be equated with jihad terrorists as “anti-Muslim extremists.” Meanwhile, Maajid Nawaz himself is whining repeatedly and in self-contradictory fashion about how […]
Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre survivor: “We need to stop saying Islam is a religion of peace”
As a secular Muslim, Zineb El Rhazoui is allowed to say in the mainstream what others are excoraited as “anti-Muslim extremists” for saying. The truth is true no matter who says it, but in today’s culture of identity politics, it’s truer when coming from racially and culturally approved voices. “Zineb el Rhazoui, Charlie Hebdo survivor, […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Realism About the Jihad Threat in Oklahoma
Oklahoma State Rep. John Bennett ventures where few dare to tread. My latest in FrontPage: In an age of near-universal denial and willful ignorance at the highest levels about the ideological roots, nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, it is as unusual as it is refreshing to find lawmakers at any level who are […]
