In reality, the film attempts to dispel the notion that Guantánamo inmates were “evildoers.” But critics claim that the word “jihad” in the film’s title is unacceptable, since jihad, as everyone knows, is a peaceful and benign concept referring to spiritual self-improvement. For many years now I have pointed out that any treatment of jihad […]
MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan, Joe Rogan, and the Left’s Cancel Culture Double Standard
My latest in PJ Media: Everyone knows the double standard is in place. It is taken for granted so much that people barely remark upon it anymore. When someone who dissents from the Leftist agenda offends Leftist sensibilities, his or her career is ruined for good. Remember Roseanne Barr, Tim Allen, and a host of […]
Algeria: Scholar gets three years in prison and fine for ‘offending Islam’ and ‘denigration of precepts of Islam’
“Algeria removed freedom of belief from its constitution in 2020,” while all the Middle East “experts” were confidently predicting that once-secular and rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey was the future of the Islamic world. “Freedom of expression in Algeria: the case of Islamologist Said Djabelkhir,” European Centre for Law and Justice, February 3, 2022: Committed to freedom […]

Noticing what is happening in France is a criminal offense. “[Video] ‘Islamic Republic’: Jordan Bardella indicted after criticism of Trappes,” translated from “[Vidéo] « République islamique » : Jordan Bardella mis en examen après des critiques sur Trappes,” Valeurs Actuelles, February 2, 2022 (thanks to Medforth): “I received the notification of the indictment when I […]
Journalist who reported on Sharia in French town gets death threats, police protection
We covered the threats to Amine Elbahi here. What will Roubaix look like in five years? Ten? What about France as a whole? The entire country, and most of the continent, is sleepwalking into catastrophe, while demonizing and stigmatizing those who are sounding the alarm. “French journalist, 34, is given police guard over her report […]
Oklahoma City Mayoral Candidate Under Fire for Criticizing Islam
My latest in PJ Media: Freedom of speech? Come on, man! That’s so 1776. Nowadays we know better: anyone who offends Leftist sensibilities in any manner must be demonized, stigmatized, marginalized, and canceled so that “hate” and “misinformation” can have no foothold in our pristine existence. Oklahoma City mayoral candidate Carol Hefner has now […]
Ilhan Omar’s Husband Accuses Iranian Dissident of ‘Islamophobia’
My latest in PJ Media: Critics of the “Islamophobia” bill sponsored by the winsome and patriotic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) say that it will be used not just to combat vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, but to stifle any criticism of Islam at all, including opposition to jihad violence and […]
Oklahoma City mayoral candidate under fire for criticizing Islam
If Carol Hefner had criticized Christianity in exactly the same terms, would this article have been written, complete with victimhood one-upmanship from local Christian leaders? No. Hefner would be celebrated as “edgy” and “courageous.” The idea that criticism of Islam is off-limits is derived from the Sharia prohibition of such criticism. This article is an […]
FBI admits synagogue hostage-taking was ‘attack on Jewish community,’ claims jihadi’s ideology wasn’t ‘coherent’
“Many of these individuals are inspired by a personal and individualized blend of beliefs and grievances. And we’re finding that, more and more, the ideologies that are motivating these violent extremists are less coherent, less linear and harder to pin down.”… Malik Faisal Akram’s ideology was quite clear and coherent. But it is one that […]
Facebook Bans Criticizing Taliban and Ben and Jerry’s
What do Facebook, Ben and Jerry’s, and the Taliban all have in common? They support terrorists. Facebook has threatened to ban the head of the watchdog group UN Watch due to alleged content violations, including a post denouncing the Taliban and the movement to boycott Israel. The post in question showed a photograph of Taliban leaders in the […]
