Denmark: Police arrest freedom activist Rasmus Paludan to prevent him from burning the Qur’an
Bowing to violent intimidation will only get you more violent intimidation. “Rasmus Paludan deprived of liberty by the police: Enormously restrictive,” translated from “Rasmus Paludan frihedsberøvet af politiet: Enormt indskrænkende,” by Emily Smith, Jeppe Grunnan, and Charlotte Bech Mathiesen, Ekstra Bladet, June 15, 2023: Rasmus Paludan was due to arrive at the Folkemødet on Bornholm […]
Putin says anyone found guilty of burning Qur’an will serve sentence in Muslim regions of Russia
This means that he is sentencing anyone who burns the Qur’an to be killed. Putin’s statements, however, have less to do with Islam than with the West. Putin is at war with the West’s libertinism and immorality. He sees the freedom of expression as part of the problem. Ironically, so does the Leftist cabal that […]
Sweden: Court of appeal rules that police were wrong to ban the burning of the Qur’an
I’m no fan of book burnings, but they are a matter of free expression. If the police had prevailed in this and Qur’an-burning had been definitively banned, the door would have been opened to all manner of violent intimidation in other areas. Jihadis would have seen that it worked, and have been encouraged to employ […]

The Wokeification of Movies Begins as ‘The French Connection’ Goes Under the Knife
New in PJ Media: Leftist publishers have recently taken it upon themselves to rewrite the works of Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, and Agatha Christie to bring them into line with contemporary woke sensibilities, and now movies are starting to get the same treatment. The first to go under the knife has been William Friedkin’s gritty 1971 flick The French Connection, in […]
Facebook destroys the Robert Spencer author page
The social media giants’ opposition to the freedom of speech and hostility to dissent from the far-Left’s line is abundantly documented. Thus it came as no surprise that Facebook would blow up the Robert Spencer author page. It is cold comfort to realize that Leftists crush dissent because they cannot answer our arguments or counter […]
Dutch Art Fair Director Canceled for Tweets About Islam, Wokeness
“Normalise criticism of the Quran and the Prophet.” There are only a few countries in the world where an art fair director could even conceivably have such opinions. And America hasn’t been one of them in quite a while. Still, our cancel culture stepped in and did its job. Bart Drenth has resigned as global managing […]
Afghanistan: Ministry of Higher Education warns university lecturers to avoid criticizing the Taliban regime
In the West, university lecturers avoid criticizing the ruling regime as a matter of course and a consciously chosen choice, as long as the ruling regime is part of the Leftist establishment. In Afghanistan, however, academics are not quite so eager to conform to the establishment narrative, and have to be warned in a letter […]
Supreme Court Passes Up a Chance to Strike Back at Big Tech Censorship
New in PJ Media: Among the many things that the social media giants have been accused of doing, they have been called out for aiding and abetting Islamic jihad terrorist activity. The Supreme Court just had a chance to put a stop to this, but instead of acting decisively, the current favorite branch of government […]
