Salman Rushdie breaks silence, says he has PTSD, Daily Mail insists his attacker’s motive is ‘unclear’
Hadi Matar, who stabbed Rushdie, said that he disliked Rushdie because the writer had “attacked Islam.” The ever-ridiculous Daily Mail here proves that some people won’t see what is right in front of their faces even if its comes up and stabs them fifteen times.

Woke Fail: Pakistan Bans Hard-Left Wikipedia as ‘Anti-Islam’

Hamas-linked CAIR vs. Erika López Prater, the Minnesota prof fired for showing an image of Muhammad
With the TV attacks of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) growing in frequency, severity, and outrageousness, it is important to take notice when it strikes.

Hamas top dog calls for ‘international Islamic court’ to ‘confront’ ‘crimes’ against Muhammad, Qur’an, and Allah

Here’s Something You Don’t See Every Day: The Government of Pakistan Has Charged Me With Blasphemy
New in PJ Media: The email came in Monday from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, the Pakistani government’s agency for regulating online communications.
