We have heard many disturbing statements in recent years made by Catholic clerics, from bishops and cardinals right up to Pope Francis, who seem to believe that Islam is a religion like any other, that criticism of Islam is unjustified and based on the motiveless malignity of “Islamophobia,” and that the main duty of Catholics […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: What’s Up Down Under
Pauline Hanson is a well-known political figure in Australia whose general anti-immigrant stance has recently become much more focused on Muslim immigration. After years in the political wilderness, on July 2 Hanson was elected, as a Senator, to the Australian Parliament. This has greatly alarmed Muslims and their apologists. The comments on her unexpected victory […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: “Shaking Hands is an Important Part of Our Culture”
In the last few years, one country in Europe – Switzerland – has offered lessons in how to deal with Muslims that other Western countries might do well to emulate.

Six Canadian cities sign a charter against “Islamophobia”
The incidence of “Islamophobic” hate crimes is said to be rising, and in response, six Canadian cities have endorsed a charter against “Islamophobia,” vowing to eliminate such hate crimes.

Queen Elizabeth for Brexit: “EU courts ‘denigrate’ Britain by protecting terrorists”
Even the usually neutral Queen is fed up with European courts protecting Islamic jihadist hate preachers, saying that they “denigrate Britain” and asking the question: “Give me THREE good reasons” to remain inside the European Union. Pity that the Obama administration and Western leftist authorities are not as wise as the Queen on this matter, […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Finally: A Realistic Plan for Fighting the Jihad and Protecting Americans
Courtesy of Donald Trump. My latest in FrontPage: We’ve gotten so used to politically correct obfuscation about Islam being a religion of peace that preaches tolerance and non-violence that Donald Trump’s words in his address Monday were startling: “Many of the principles of radical Islam are incompatible with Western values and institutions. Remember this, radical […]
And now, a word from deep inside the Department of Justice
We get a steady stream of hate mail, but we also occasionally receive messages like this one, which I publish with the sender’s permission because it is a welcome indication that, contrary to appearances, the Justice Department is not entirely compromised and in thrall to deceptive Islamic supremacists: Subject: Thank you from an avid reader […]

Last Wednesday night, April 13, I spoke in Ottawa. The full video is forthcoming but in the meantime, here is my response to a questioner who detailed a long list of Islam’s alleged contributions to civilization, and its reputed history of tolerance. Video thanks to Vlad Tepes.
Cruz: “Patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized” — Hamas-linked CAIR outraged
“‘It’s really beyond belief that you have one of the leading presidential candidates calling for law enforcement to target religious communities totally based on the fact that they are of a particular faith,’ said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the [Hamas-linked] Council on American-Islamic relations [sic].” Meanwhile, significant segments of Hooper’s religious community worldwide are […]
Columbus, Ohio’s Nazareth Restaurant, site of jihad terror attack in February, is going strong
Back in February there was yet another jihad terror attack on American soil: a Muslim named Mohammad Barry entered the Nazareth Restaurant & Deli in Columbus, Ohio and began slashing patrons with a machete. Later he screamed “Allahu akbar” and charged at police with the machete, and they shot him dead. Barry chose his target […]
