US cardinal: “It is clear that Muslims have as their ultimate goal conquest and power over the world”
Cardinal Burke’s line runs directly counter to the rainbows-and-moonbeams Islam of Pope Francis. He is, apparently, too prominent for Catholic authorities to try to silence, unlike other foes of jihad terror whom the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and individual bishops have worked so assiduously against. Cardinal Burke must get a chilly reception from his […]
October declared Islamic Heritage Month in Ontario
This should be a cause for outrage across Canada, and it is, but that outrage is not widespread enough. Email forwards are already buzzing with disapproval.

The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities.

Australia’s PM warns against “seeking to demonize or denigrate all Muslims”
Turnbull is repeating a common Leftist/Islamic supremacist talking point: that to discuss how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims is “tagging all Muslims with the crimes of a few.” Turnbull also doubtless has in mind Trump’s proposed moratorium on Muslim immigration, which in the […]
