After Turkey and Pakistan succeed in intimidating the West into discarding the freedom of expression and adopting Sharia blasphemy laws, other demands to adopt other aspects of Sharia will follow. “Ankara condemns ‘despicable attacks’ against Quran, calls for action,” Daily Sabah, September 24, 2023: Turkish officials have strongly condemned yet another attack against Islam’s holy […]
At the UN, Brunei demands increased action against ‘Islamophobia’
I’ve often noted that “Islamophobia” is seldom, if ever, defined, and usually refers either to attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, or to criticism of jihad violence and Sharia oppression, which is always necessary. Brunei’s Minister of Foreign Affairs here makes it clear that he means the latter only. He wants the UN […]
Pakistan army chief: ‘Islam is a religion of peace and there is no space for intolerance and extremism in Islam’
Pakistan recently saw Muslims set fire to a total of 21 churches and 40 Christian homes on false accusations of Qur’an desecration by two Christian men. Six Christians were also murdered. A cleric stated: “Better to die if you don’t care about Islam.” The Pakistani government encourages the ongoing mob attacks against Christians, while doing […]
Jordan condemns Qur’an desecrations as ‘irresponsible acts that provoke the feelings of two billion Muslims’
It looks as if the whole Islamic world is uniting behind the “oooh our widda feewings are hurt” argument to try to compel the West to adopt Sharia blasphemy laws. The worst aspect of this is that the West, already controlled by leftists who hate the freedom of expression, are falling for this. “Jordan condemns […]
At UN, Pakistan’s prime minister claims that ‘Islamophobia’ is ‘latent threat that undermines millennia of progress’
The term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary. The objective of this conflation is to silence that analysis by falsely claiming that it leads to or causes those attacks. […]
Indonesia: Muslim woman jailed for saying Muslim prayer before eating pork says ‘I did not expect it’
Jihad Watch reported on this case yesterday; now we learn that Lina Mukherjee “did not expect this punishment.” Even though she is a Muslim, Lina Mukherjee made the error of underestimating Islam’s intolerance to “insult” and defiance of the Sharia. The Indonesian woman, jailed for two years , was surprised by her verdict in a […]
Erdogan in New York decries ‘vicious attacks’ on Qur’an ‘under the guise of freedom of thought’
Erdogan spoke at a dinner event organized by the Turkish American National Steering Committee in New York. “Vicious attacks” on actual people are routine in Islam, but to Erdogan and his Islamic supremacist ilk, the only “vicious attacks” worthy of note are criticism of Islam and desecration of the Qur’an. Inherent in Erdogan’s message is […]
At UN, Qatar’s emir says burning Qur’an ‘should not be seen as an example of the freedom of expression’
Freedom of expression means freedom to express one’s views even if they offend another. By ruling desecration of the Qur’an out of the bounds of the freedom of expression, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani demonstrates that he doesn’t understand what the freedom of expression is, or wants to destroy it, or both. “Qatar at the […]
Pakistan: Six-year-old child brutally beaten for tearing a page containing Qur’anic text from his schoolbook
The book is more important than the human being, as the human being is an unbeliever, “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6). “Two Blasphemy Incidents Shake Lahore and Khanewal on a Single Day: Innocence and Accusations,” British Asian Christian Association, September 20, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): In a nation where […]
Professor Fired For Showing Drawing of Muhammad Can Sue For ‘Religious Discrimination’
Erika López Prater, an adjunct professor teaching a course last year on world art at Hamline University, unsurprisingly wanted to show her class a 14th-century depiction of Muhammad. She explained in advance she would be showing the painting, and that any student who might be offended could simply skip the class. She repeated that offer […]
