This move is reminiscent of what’s happening North of the American border. Canada also cracks down on views which are different from Trudeau’s dictates, or more importantly, on any view that threatens the direction in which Trudeau wants to take the country. America is quickly moving in the same direction. Although each country’s circumstances are different, […]
Biden Finally Makes Statement on Rushdie Stabbing, and It’s Even Worse Than You’d Expect
New in PJ Media: On Saturday I pointed out that a full day had gone by since Salman Rushdie was stabbed, and Old Joe Biden, the putative president of the United States, hadn’t said Word One about the attack, leaving National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to issue a vacuous and perfunctory statement. Eventually, however, Old Joe’s ghostwriter […]
Islamists Violently Targeted These Turkish Authors Because of Salman Rushdie’s Work
Sir Salman Rushdie was stabbed in the neck, arm, and abdomen on August 12 by a man who stormed onto the stage as the author was about to give a lecture in western New York. The knife attack against Rushdie took place more than 33 years after a fatwa was decreed against him by Iran’s […]
Pakistani ‘security analyst’ justifies Rushdie stabbing: ‘One sensitive nerve of Muslims you should never poke’
Many in the West, in fact, an increasing number, agree with Zaid Hamid, and think that any criticism or negative portrayal of Islam is “racist” and “Islamophobic,” and should accordingly be silenced. “Indeed, those who malign Allah and his messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world and the hereafter, and has prepared for them […]
Move Over, Monkeypox: ‘Islamophobia’ Breaks Out in Southern Indiana
New in PJ Media: Inflation is skyrocketing, COVID Joe is more feeble and bumbling than ever, America is weak and rudderless on the world stage, Leftist authoritarianism is advancing, the next pandemic hysteria is breaking out (or trying to), and at the Southern Indiana Realtors Association (SIRA), they’ve got their priorities straight: they’re all upset […]
Southern Indiana Realtors Association (SIRA) CEO under fire for ‘Islamophobic’ Facebook post
Glenda Gasparine apparently doesn’t have a very high opinion of Islam, and some of her colleagues, who are not Muslim themselves but have been thoroughly indoctrinated into Leftist sensibilities, are calling for her resignation. Her crime? She posted on her personal Facebook account something that apparently said — “falsely,” Islamic scholar Makenna Hall of the […]
Malaysia: Muslim mob bloodies delivery rider accused of insulting Islam, then he is arrested
In the enlightened West, a mob won’t bloody you and you won’t face arrest for insulting Islam, or being perceived as having done so, but you will face professional ruin until you issue a groveling apology to Hamas-linked CAIR. “Delivery rider to be remanded for allegedly insulting Islam,” by Austin Camoens, The Star, July 17, […]
Hamas-linked CAIR tries to revive Ilhan Omar’s ‘Islamophobia’ bill
As ably explained in the article below, the bill would inhibit free speech regarding jihad violence and related issues, and effectively bring Sharia blasphemy laws to the U.S. If it ever passes, it will still be flagrantly unconstitutional. If the Court hasn’t been packed or otherwise reconstituted by then, this law would be struck down […]
Norway: Muslims attack free speech advocates
Here is a message I received from a member of Stop Islamisation of Norway (SIAN), edited for clarity: The freedom of speech is under attack in Norway. It for this reason that SIAN (Stop Islamisering av Norge, that is, Stop the Islamization of Norway), the Norwegian equivalent of Stop the Islamization of America, went on […]
Iran: Former president Rafsanjani’s daughter indicted for insulting Muhammad
One thing you can say for the Islamic Republic: the laws appear to apply to everyone equally, even the elites. Unlike the situation in the U.S., there don’t appear to be any privileged classes that are above the law, at least in cases of supposed blasphemy. “Ex-Iranian president’s daughter indicted after ‘insulting’ Islam’s Prophet,” Iran […]
