The Organization of Islamic Cooperation is the “collective voice of the Muslim world,” which seeks to expand the Muslim ummah by any available means. Whether it be to strengthen the “brothers” of the Taliban who are now ruling Afghanistan under Sharia, or supporting the Palestinian jihad against Israel, it’s all the same. Taliban commander Muhammed […]
Hamas Furious with Egypt for ‘Taking Israel’s Side’

The Rise of Abdel Fattah al-Sisi
The current president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, rescued his country by staging a coup on July 3, 2013. That coup he engineered to overturn the rule of then-President Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), who was solidifying his hold, and that of the fanatical MB to which he belonged, on the […]
Spain: Actress called ‘racist’ for criticizing the wearing of the niqab
What race is Islam again? What race is the niqab? I keep forgetting. One critic said: “And who has told you that they are not dressed like that by their own choice?” Sure, buddy. And just imagine what would happen if one day one of them decided to go out without the niqab. “Social networks […]
Egypt: 80-year-old Islamic scholar jailed for saying Islam was spread by conquest
An 80-year-old Egyptian Islamic reformist scholar was jailed for telling the truth that Islam was spread by conquest, as obvious as truth is.

Egypt: Teachers and students beat up Coptic Christian children for wearing crosses

In no Western country, nor in Israel, would it be acceptable for a teacher and students to beat up students who were of a different religion, and elementary-age […]
Egypt: Two Muslim brothers murder Christian shopkeeper
In mid-October, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi “committed Egypt to a five-year program of human rights reform.” He shocked the country when he stated: “If someone tells me they are neither Muslim nor Christian nor a Jew or that he or she does not believe in religion, I will tell them, ‘You are free to […]
Islamic scholar: If one’s wife ‘is a nasty person and refuses to understand, in such a case, we turn to beating’
The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded […]
Archbishop of Canterbury decries Christians’ ‘history of sin of force,’ says to Muslims: ‘Let us be people of peace’
From the looks of this article, Welby didn’t say a word about Muslims’ history of “the tragic sin of force,” or about the ongoing Muslim persecution of Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere today. Nor does there seem to have been any reciprocal appeal from any Muslim leader. The outreach, in this case as in every […]
Al-Azhar scholar: ‘There must be a presence for Al-Azhar in Afghanistan, to spread Islam’s tolerant message’
For 1400 years that message has been spread in ways that closely resemble what the Taliban did over the last few weeks. How is what al-Azhar offering different? Aside from educating girls, that is left unexplained in this article. “Sunni scholars from Al-Azhar who left Afghanistan hope Islam’s tolerant message survives Taliban,” Reuters, September 22, […]
