Are authorities actually expecting Muslims to behave violently toward Christians? How dreadfully Islamophobic! Surely it ain’t so. After all, everyone knows it’s a Religion of Peace! Maybe officials in Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia are expecting attacks from “right-wing extremists.” Oh wait, the “right-wing extremists” will all be inside the churches, since everyone knows that “right-wing […]
Indonesia: Muslims threaten to hunt down other Muslims for wearing Santa hats

Indonesia: Museum official says wax Hitler “is one of the favorite for our visitors to take selfies with”
This is “moderate” Indonesia, but they read the same Qur’an as other Muslims do, and the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims.

Top Muslim scholar: “Stop pretending that orthodox Islam and violence aren’t linked”
Western politicians should stop pretending that extremism and terrorism have nothing to do with Islam. There is a clear relationship between fundamentalism, terrorism, and the basic assumptions of Islamic orthodoxy. So long as we lack consensus regarding this matter, we cannot gain victory over fundamentalist violence within Islam. This is a vitally important statement by Yahya […]
Indonesia: Chinese deity is covered in sheet after Muslims protest
“Actually we can allow them to build the statue, just not as high as it was and it should be in the temple, not outside.

Indonesian suicide bomb plotter: “The blessing from jihad could help my parents enter heaven”
Can anyone refute on Islamic grounds the proposition that waging violent jihad can bring blessings from Allah that could help the jihadi’s parents enter Paradise?
