It’s a Leftist/Islamic supremacist talking point these days that if we talk about how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence, or discuss ways to stop jihad activity, we will alienate peaceful Muslims and drive them into the arms of ISIS. The poor dears will feel alienated, you see, and will […]
Maryland imam allegedly helped finance arsenal for Islamic State jihadi in Detroit
The imam says he doesn’t support the Islamic State, but “it might appear that way. I am an advocate of the United States and the West getting the hell out of the Middle East and the Muslim world.” As for the weapons accusations, he says: “It’s ridiculous. All I can say is it’s ridiculous. If […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Re-Education of Reverend Daisy Obi
The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts has just upheld a lower court’s ruling that the Rev. Daisy Obi, a 73-year-old pastor originally from Nigeria, and a Somerville landlord, must not only serve six months in jail for pushing a Muslim tenant, but must “enroll and attend an introductory course on Islam.” The original story was […]
Dallas Morning News: “Islamophobia” leads to high cholesterol, obesity, and cancer
Now we know why Ahmad Khan Rahami had packed on a few pounds: it wasn’t the fried chicken he was peddling pre-jihad, it was “Islamophobia.” Goleen Samari is a postdoctoral research fellow at The University of Texas at Austin, and one wonders if they accept this level of “scholarship” from her. Here the Dallas Morning […]
Robert Spencer: After Muslim stabs non-Muslims in Minnesota mall, Minnesota Muslims play the victim
Over at the Geller Report I explode the latest exercise in spurious Muslim victimhood: A Muslim stabbed ten non-Muslims in a Minnesota mall, and you know what that means as far as the mainstream media is concerned: Muslims are victims. Hamas-linked CAIR has been quick to claim victim status, whining about an anti-Muslim “backlash” that […]
Muslim wanted for bombs in NYC and New Jersey sued police, claiming they persecuted him for being a Muslim
He went from claims of victimhood to jihad; usually the trajectory is jihad first, then claims of victimhood. Will this revelation lead to claims that the “Islamophobia” of the Elizabeth, New Jersey police department led him to become “radicalized” and take up jihad? “EXCLUSIVE: Wanted New York and New Jersey bomb suspect sued his local […]
CAIR worries about “backlash” after Minnesota mall jihad, governor calls for “religious tolerance”
A Muslim stabbed nine non-Muslims in a Minnesota mall, and you know what that means as far as the mainstream media is concerned: Muslims are victims. Hamas-linked CAIR has been quick to claim victim status, whining about an anti-Muslim “backlash” that seldom, if ever, materializes after Islamic jihad attacks. And Minnesota’s governor is calling for […]
Reza Aslan claims that since 2002, right-wing terrorists have killed far more Americans than Islamic terrorists
Media wonder boy Reza Aslan is behind the curve on this one: this particular talking point has already been debunked (not that he would care, or stop repeating it, if he knew). Back in June 2015, the New America Foundation published a study that garnered enthusiastic international publicity, as it purported to demonstrate that “right-wing […]
UK’s Guardian tries desperately to preserve the narrative of Muslim victimhood
Yesterday I wrote here about yet another anti-Muslim hate crime that wasn’t: a Muslim woman in New York City who was set on fire by some psychopath who, as it turned out, had also targeted non-Muslims. The Muslim victimhood industry has been working in high gear on this one, with victimhood propagandist Linda Sarsour penning […]
German TV ad cosponsored by UNESCO exhorts German women to wear the hijab
The woman is not wearing a hijab. She’s just wearing a scarf over part of her hair. Much of her hair is showing. Some of her bare leg shows also as she struts around. All these elements of the presentation would make it absolutely unacceptable to the Islamic hardliners that she (and the German government, […]
