New in PJ Media: How much does the Biden regime hate the freedom of speech that the First Amendment guarantees to Americans? Last year, it tried to establish a Disinformation Governance Board to restrict speech that opposed its agenda, but had to back down after a public outcry. Then there was Biden’s handlers’ collusion with the Big Tech giants […]
UK government summons Iranian envoy over ‘serious threats against journalists living in Britain’
In a troubling incursion by Iran into Britain, the UK government has summoned “Iran’s most senior diplomat in London… to protest what it said were serious threats against journalists living in Britain, as ministers launched a new security review into Iranian activities.” Iran’s threat to the UK is astonishingly direct against journalists, yet the UK, and […]
Sweden abandons the freedom of expression, bans Qur’an-burnings
Sweden had quite recently allowed the burning of the Qur’an on the grounds of the freedom of expression, but now it is under pressure from Turkey, which is opposing its membership in NATO unless it abandons the freedom of speech. So goodbye, freedom of speech. “Police in Stockholm: Koran burnings will not be allowed as […]
UK: Professor accused of ‘Islamophobia’ fears he will be killed by Islamic jihadis
He could be killed by fanatical Leftist ideologues as well. In any case, it would have been refreshing if Professor Greer, instead of insisting that he was not guilty of “Islamophobia,” had challenged this spurious propaganda concept itself, but no such luck. That’s an indication of how far the intellectual rot has advanced in the […]
MSNBC’s Psaki warns of the ‘danger’ of the freedom of speech
Psaki’s reflexive and unthinking authoritarianism reflects the stance of the Left in general these days. Leftists are determined to silence and crush all dissent and allow only their perspective to be heard in the public square. Learn more about this effort in The Sumter Gambit: How the Left Is Trying to Foment A Civil War. […]
EU Commission appoints new ‘coordinator for combating Islamophobia’
“The Commission has repeatedly stated its commitment to propose EU laws to criminalise what it deems to be Islamophobic speech.” Will the Commission carefully distinguish between speech that calls for violence against innocent Muslims and honest and accurate analysis of the jihad ideology and the contents of Sharia? Of course it won’t. “EU Commission, Suspected […]
Ireland: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ join far-Left pro-open borders protesters in Dublin
This was a most interesting demonstration, for it provided an unusually direct insight into the consequences of the far Left’s push for open borders: not a hippy-dippy “diverse” and “multicultural” society, but the supremacy of Islam and Sharia. Proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Irish who are welcoming of refugees and asylum seekers, […]
In his State of the Union address, Biden ignored his regime’s assault upon the freedom of speech
The Disinformation Governance Board was just one small aspect of a much larger program to crush dissent in the United States. “MARTIN: As Biden Gives His SOTU, Remember His ‘Truth Commission — Our Fourth Branch Of Government,” by Barrington Martin, Daily Caller, February 7, 2023: As Joe Biden gives his State of the Union address, […]
Salman Rushdie breaks silence, says he has PTSD, Daily Mail insists his attacker’s motive is ‘unclear’
Hadi Matar, who stabbed Rushdie, said that he disliked Rushdie because the writer had “attacked Islam.” The ever-ridiculous Daily Mail here proves that some people won’t see what is right in front of their faces even if its comes up and stabs them fifteen times. I am not referring to Rushdie, but to the Daily […]
Woke Fail: Pakistan Bans Hard-Left Wikipedia as ‘Anti-Islam’
New in PJ Media: A few days ago, the government of Pakistan charged my website, Jihad Watch, with blasphemy. I can’t say that I was particularly shocked at this development: I have stood for years against the efforts of Pakistan and other Islamic entities to intimidate the West into curtailing the freedom of speech and adopting Sharia […]
