An important announcement from my SIOA colleague Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs: Stop Islamization of America’s (SIOA) next campaign to reach and educate the American people have hit the streets of Chicago, the first in a nationwide campaign: taxitops! I thought it was a perfect medium to get our message to the people who are […]
Jordan: Another attempted murder for “family honor”
This attack did not succeed in killing the victim, but the man who shot at his 26-year-old sister promptly turned himself into police. Clearly, he did not believe he did anything wrong, and in Jordan, he does not likely face much of a penalty, either, after authorities declined to implement harsher sentences for honor killings […]

“Jim Coyle and the Toronto Star are racist. Abiding honour killings is racist. It’s sexist. It’s anti-feminist. It’s precisely the thing the Star claims to be against. But they’re not.”
Dhimmi pseudojournalists abound. In “Toronto Star: Don’t judge Karla Homolka. She loves her sister Tammy more than you do,” June 22, the brilliant and courageous Ezra Levant righteously skewers the Toronto Star’s politically correct abetting of Islamic honor killing (thanks to Kathy Shaidle): Can you believe this disgusting man, comparing Aqsa Parvez’s murder — an […]
