Over at Dana Loesch’s Dana Show site, I respond to the appalling piece by Bill Donohue of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, “Muslims Are Right to Be Angry.” Does Bill Donohue think that Jewish bakeries are also an intolerable insult and must be suppressed? “It is too bad,” says Bill Donohue of […]
Pope says Islam is religion of peace, then begs Muslims to condemn violence
More Pope Fiction: “Islam is a religion of peace, one which is compatible with respect for human rights and peaceful coexistence,” says the Pope. Then he calls on Muslims to push a “more authentic image of Islam, as so many of them desire.” Has he ever wondered how this version of Islam that he assumes […]
Pope says it is wrong to equate Islam with violence
The key question here is, Who is responsible for equating Islam with violence? Islamic jihadists, or non-Muslim “Islamophobes”? Islamic supremacist groups in the West, backed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), constantly pretend that the latter are responsible, when the whole world knows it’s the former. “Pope says it is wrong to equate Islam […]
Pope calls for fighting hunger and poverty as key to stopping jihadists
Alleviating hunger and poverty won’t end jihad terrorism. The Pope here is repeating the oft-refuted notion that poverty causes terrorism. CNS News noted in September 2013 that “according to a Rand Corporation report on counterterrorism, prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 2009, ‘Terrorists are not particularly impoverished, uneducated, or afflicted by […]
Catholic Diocese of Sacramento: CAIR claims on Robert Spencer cancellation are false
The Hamas-linked terror organization the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) launched a new website last month, boasting in its daily mailing that the site was meant to marginalize foes of jihad terror: “This means that when someone who may think an Islamophobe is a legitimate speaker and searches for the person on the Internet, they […]
Pope calls for seminary training for “constructive dialogue with Muslims…to live a peaceful coexistence with them”
Pamela Geller says it: “Does the Pope really think Boko Haram needs a heart-to-heart convo about tolerance? Is he nuts? Attacks, massacres, forced conversions of Christians, forced marriages and sharia: the protocol Boko Haram has been told in ghastly detail by the few fortunate survivors. Jihadists are slaughtering Christian children, kidnapping young girls and selling […]
Why Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris are better Catholics than the Catholic publication Aleteia
First, a clarification: I am not saying that Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris are actually Catholics, or have any interest in being Catholics. What I am saying is that a commitment to the truth, whatever it may be and wherever it may lead, is or ought to be a hallmark of the Catholic faith, as […]
Pope calls for condemnation of those who “pervert” religion to justify violence
Actually, there are plenty of condemnations. Many Muslim organizations worldwide have condemned the Islamic State. What we don’t see are actual organized efforts by Muslim leaders to teach Muslims to reject the understanding of Islam that the Islamic State represents. If all the condemnations were sincere, we would see more direct action against the Islamic […]
Catholic Archbishop of Brisbane: “The extremists’ barbarism seems apocalyptic. It has nothing to do with real Islam.”
“The Catholic Archbishop of Brisbane, Mark Coleridge, said people should think about what social psychosis was driving some young Muslims to give their lives fighting ‘on the altar of the demonic’ for the Islamic State. ‘The situation needs prayer, action and deep reflection,’ he said. ‘The extremists’ barbarism seems apocalyptic. It has nothing to do […]
Pope Francis OKs force to stop huge outbreak of misunderstanding of Islam
Last November, Pope Francis wrote that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” Unfortunately for him and for the world at large, so many Muslims have misunderstood their own religion that now he is emphasizing that it is “licit to stop the unjust aggressor.” Pope Francis […]
