Ramadan calls for ever new and ingenious ways to kill. It is a time when Muslims are supposed to renew their commitment to Allah, and since jihad is an expression of that commitment, there is more of it during Ramadan. “Police Link Mall Toilet Blast to Islamist Terrorists,” by Bayu Marhaenjati, Jakarta Globe, July 11, […]
Indonesia: Jihadis recruit for Islamic State from their prison cells
Clearly these recruiters have supporters among the jailers: “Despite the island’s jails being high-security and despite mobile phones being contraband those who want phones have and use them.” “Indonesian jails host extremists who recruit for Islamic State from their cells,” by Cindy Wockner and Komang Erviani, News Corp Australia Network, July 7, 2015 (thanks to […]
UK convert to Islam linked to France beheading and jihad attack in Indonesia
The ongoing indifference on the part of authorities to the phenomenon of conversion to Islam and subsequent “radicalization” is absolutely inexplicable. Salvi said: ‘The British authorities know where I am and have no problem with it.” Of course. The British authorities are not concerned about jihad hate preachers. They’re only concerned with silencing domestic foes […]
Indonesia: Muslims expel thousands of Christians from a Christian scout camp because it is Ramadan
“It is good because everyone should understand how to behave towards the Muslim community,” said Muhammad Fuad, head of the local branch of the Islamic Community Forum. The principle is always the same: non-Muslims must always change their behavior to conform to Muslim sensibilities. The West is rapidly learning that. These Christians in Indonesia should […]
Indonesia: Muslim cleric gets 4 years for funding jihad terror training camp
How did he miss all of the Qur’an’s peaceful teachings — teachings that are so blazingly obvious to John Kerry, David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Tony Abbott and the rest? How could a Muslim cleric, someone who has dedicated his life to understanding and imparting Islam properly, misunderstand Islam so spectacularly? Will Cameron or Johnson or […]
Indonesia: US Embassy celebrates 4th of July earlier out of respect for Ramadan
This is a grand gesture, to be sure, but just one question: when has any Muslim group ever changed its activities, or moved their date, or done anything differently at all, out of respect for the United States? Obama has spoken many, many times of “mutual respect” between the U.S. and Muslim countries. But where […]
Female genital mutilation persists in Indonesia
Female genital mutilation “is a Central African problem. Eritrea has almost 90 percent female genital mutilation. It’s a Christian country. Ethiopia has 75 percent female genital mutilation. It’s a Christian country. Nowhere else in the Muslim, Muslim-majority states is female genital mutilation an issue.” — Reza Aslan Oops. Wrong again, and not just about Eritrea […]
“People who worship anything other than Allah are infidels and it is permitted to kill them.”
Teach your children well. Rather amazing, is it not, that statements like these are made anywhere in the world, and people take them for granted and consider those who make them to be the victims of “Islamophobia.” “Authorities seize schoolbook that praises Islamic radicalism,” Asia News, March 24, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): […]
Indonesia: Top Muslim clerics issue fatwa calling for death for gays
Woe to you — from the gay community — if you dare to point out Sharia persecution of gays. When Pamela Geller and I ran ads highlighting the mistreatment of gays in Islamic law, the San Francisco City Council issued a resolution condemning not that mistreatment, but our ads. Gay advocates such as Theresa Sparks […]
Iran’s President: Iran and Indonesia can present “true and moderate Islam”
On November 20, 2013, Iran’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, said: “The Zionist regime is a regime whose pillars are extremely shaky and is doomed to collapse.” Israelis, he declared, “should not be called humans.” Rouhani himself has said: “The Imam [the Ayatollah Khomeini] set long-term goals for the day the occupying Zionist regime is […]
