The investigation is ongoing, but “Hatun Tash, the victim of a stabbing at Speakers’ Corner…said that the supposed ‘home of free speech’ has become unsafe for Christians as a result of an increasingly belligerent Muslim mob.” You can find more news and analysis about the stabbing from Jihad Watch HERE.

Turkey Keeps Main Orthodox Christian Theological School Closed for 50 Years
July 29 marked the 50th anniversary of the closure by the Turkish government of the Halki seminary, formally the Theological School of Halki, in 1971. The school served as the main school of theology of the Eastern Orthodox Church’s Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. The US Department of State released a statement, urging Turkey to […]
Turkish Foreign Ministry to UNESCO: Conversion of Hagia Sophia to mosque was exercise of ‘sovereign rights’
Fair enough. But if Turkey feels no sense of responsibility to its non-Muslim minorities, or to the rest of the world, why is it still a member in good standing of NATO and considered an American ally? “Turkey’s provocative response to UNESCO: It’s our right to turn Hagia Sophia into a mosque,” Orthodox Times, July […]
France: Metz mayor says Allah appeared to him, speeds up construction of mega-mosque
Amid all of François Grosdidier’s Islamopandering, how likely is it that he will ensure that his brand new mega-mosque isn’t staffed by jihad sympathizers and supporters of Sharia oppression? Why, of course he will do nothing to vet the mosque’s leadership. Any such action would be “Islamophobic.” “France: Notorious Mayor Grosdidier wants to create a […]
Australia: Muslim sexually assaults four women, sentenced to 250 hours of community service
Do you think Muhammad Bilal Khan’s sentence would have been as lenient if he hadn’t been a member of a group that authorities the world over are desperately afraid of offending, for fear of charges of “Islamophobia”? Neither do I. “Public masturbator avoids jail after assaulting women at music festivals, on tram,” by Danny Tran, […]
India: Indifference as Muslim mobs target Hindus in riot-torn West Bengal since 2011
The post-election violence meted out to the Hindu supporters of Mamata Banerjee’s opposition has finally attracted the focus of India’s national media. But the state has witnessed Muslims wreak havoc on the administration and people of Bengal throughout her previous terms. From 2011 onwards, West Bengal has recorded an average of 20 communal flare-ups […]
Germany: Muslims linked to jihad activities have firearms licenses, law-abiding sportsmen are denied them
What could possibly go wrong? You wouldn’t be so “Islamophobic” as to suspect that something is amiss here, would you? “You won’t believe it: 24 Islamists in North Rhine-Westphalia have a gun license!,” translated from “Man glaubt es nicht: 24 Islamisten in NRW haben eine Waffenerlaubnis!,” PolitikStube, July 24, 2021 (thanks to Medforth): You can’t […]
UK Catholic weekly The Tablet touts ‘Dante’s debt to Islam’
There is an all-out an ongoing effort by Western “journalists” to condition Western non-Muslims to accept Islam and think of it as an integral part of the West, Islam’s 1,400-year jihad against Christendom and post-Christendom notwithstanding. Here is yet more of it. Will The Tablet tout some Christian influence on, say, Rumi or Omar Khayyam? […]
Germany’s Spiegel claims Muhammad cartoonist Kurt Westergaard responsible for jihad terror
It is a basic principle that is being obscured: if you insult me and I hit you, the responsibility lies entirely with me. It doesn’t matter what you said. I didn’t have to react violently. I could have reacted in any number of other ways. The people who are responsible for the riots and murders […]
The Paradox of Muhammad Cartoonist Kurt Westergaard
My latest in PJ Media: One of the most consequential and least-known people of this young century died last Wednesday: Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. You may not be familiar with Westergaard’s name, but you almost certainly know his most celebrated work: the cartoon of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, with a bomb in his […]
