New in PJ Media: The Biden regime has an ever-lengthening record of opposition to the freedom of speech: the abortive Disinformation Governance Board, the Twitter Files revelations that regime apparatchiks pressured Twitter to remove dissenting tweets, the weaponization of the “Justice” Department against the regime’s principal opponent, and on and on. It thus comes as […]
Andrew Tate Submitted to the Islamatrix
I wish I could ignore this Andrew Tate character, but I gather that he’s somehow influential in a Kardashian kind of way, and I’ve learned that he has some true believers on the right who are willing to embarrass themselves in his defense. I don’t know when I first heard of him, but I wasn’t […]
Biden Regime Demanded Facebook Ban Humor
“The Biden administration was working every possible angle to keep people alive” First Amendment? What First Amendment? The Biden administration’s internet censorship regime seemed to have a special hatred for humor. Maybe that’s because its boss is a walking joke.

“The government must be allowed to seek to persuade people of its views” In response to efforts to stop the government from censoring the speech of people it opposes, the censors keep arguing that they have the free speech right to censor. Here’s how I originally described it. When Judge Terry Doughty issued an injunction in […]
UN adopts Moroccan resolution against Qur’an burning; it isn’t consistent with free speech laws

Iran’s Khamenei: ‘The Swedish government has taken a war stance against the Islamic world’
Khamenei is clear: the freedom of expression must go, or Sweden and other Western countries are going to face increasing and relentless hostility from the Islamic world. This is music to the ears of the authoritarian Leftists who run the nations of Europe and North America, as they hate the freedom of expression, too. “Ayatollah […]
Iran: ‘Desecrations of the sanctities of Muslims should not be permitted under the pretext of freedom of expression’
He likewise denounces desecrations of the holy things of the “followers of divine religions,” that is, the people of the book, Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians, but that is just window dressing. The only people who care about these desecrations are Muslims. The idea is to intimidate the West into placing Islam above criticism. As the […]
Somalia: Jihadis call on Muslims in Europe to defend Qur’an, ‘wage jihad in path of Allah, kill leaders of unbelief’
Will any Muslims in Europe heed this call? The European political and media elites will not even consider the possibility. To do so would be “Islamophobic.” “Al-Qaeda Affiliate Al-Shabab Calls On Muslims In Europe And Sweden To Defend Quran, Wage Jihad Against Unbelievers, Kill Their Leaders,” MEMRI, July 16, 2023: The following report is now […]
Pakistan: Government claims 400,000 social media accounts blaspheme Allah, Muhammad, the Qur’an and more
Many of these are Shi’ite accounts, as is clear from the references to blasphemy of “the Mothers of the Believers, the Companions of the Prophet.” Shi’ites often disparage Aisha, “the mother of the believers,” because she opposed Ali, and Muhammad’s companions, the first caliphs, Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, for the same reason. In any […]
