Egyptian jihadis who murdered IDF soldier were educated middle class Muslims, not local Beduin
But I thought poverty caused terrorism! The mainstream narrative about the provenance of jihad terrorism is wrong in every detail, which doesn’t stop anyone from taking it as self-evidently true. “‘Sinai attackers were educated, not local Beduin,’” by Joanna Paraszczuk and Yaakov Lappin in the Jerusalem Post, October 3 (thanks to Lachlan): Members of the […]
Muslim Brotherhood preacher: “If anyone tells you that he is liberal, tell him directly that he is infidel.”
You mean fascist savage “liberal Muslim” Mona Eltahawy spray-painted our AFDI pro-freedom ad for nothing? She still doesn’t get back into the good graces of the Islamic supremacists?

Muslim cleric: “It is permissible for the girl at the age of 9 or 10 to marry”
Just yesterday Muslims on Twitter were excoriating me for my “ignorance,” “lies” and “hate” for saying that according to the Islamic texts that Muslims consider most reliable, Muhammad consummated his marriage with Aisha when he was 54 and she was nine. “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with ‘Aisha while she was six years old […]
Misunderstanders of Islam order Christians to leave their village within 48 hours or be killed
Over the last few days I got caught up on Twitter with numerous Muslims who were furiously indignant at my alleged “lies” about Islam and Muslims, and — with rage and profanities — adopting an aggrieved victim status.
