The Asia Internet Coalition — which includes Google, Facebook and Twitter — is threatening to pull out of Pakistan because of new rules that would have a significant impact upon the freedom of expression. How bitterly ironic. The global tech giants, long established as enemies of the freedom of expression, are now facing the same […]
Turkey: Will the Abuses against Historic Churches Ever End?
“Turkey has again confused faith tourism and religious freedom in the announcement that the Imera Monastery has been partially restored,” reported International Christian Concern (ICC) on November 19. “It is acknowledged that the Imera Monastery is an important Christian site in the eastern Black Sea region, but the fact that Christians in this area suffered […]
Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Human Rights: ‘Macron is doing to Muslims what the Nazis did to the Jews’
Throwing them in camps? Murdering them by the millions? Nope. Just emphasizing the importance of the freedom of expression and the inappropriateness of beheading someone for offending you. But Shireen Mazari’s game, in retailing this outrageous slander, is to enflame young Pakistanis to commit acts of violence against French people and installations, and thereby compel […]
Fifteen Senators (Including Fauxcahontas and Bernie) Want Facebook to Ban ‘Anti-Muslim Hate’
My latest in PJ Media: Democrats who want to browbeat (or worse) Trump supporters in Truth and Reconciliation Commissions and silence all dissent from the hard-Left’s agenda know better than to come before America and say, “We want to destroy the First Amendment and stifle the freedom of expression that is the indispensable foundation of […]
France: Teacher reports that a third of her students say ‘It is not normal to criticize Islam’
What do you think France will be like when these students grow up? “TESTIMONY. After Samuel Paty’s assassination, ‘a third of my students are contesting the curriculum,’” translated from “TÉMOIGNAGE. Après l’assassinat de Samuel Paty, ‘un tiers de mes élèves conteste les programmes,’” by Arnaud Bélier, Ouest-France, November 16, 2020 (thanks to Mason): A month […]
Pakistan: Five Muslims gang-rape and torture deaf-mute Christian girl for 2 months as police do nothing
If the roles were reversed, which they would not be and should not be, you’d be hearing about this from every establishment media outlet in the world. As it is, however, you’ll hear about it from not a single one of them. “Deaf-mute Christian girl subjected to 5-man gang-rape and torture for 2 months, due […]
Sweden: Discrimination Ombudsman rules that municipality’s ban on hijab, burqa, and niqab is illegal
Sweden Democrat Lars Nyström is correct: “If you accept that women have to cover their faces, what are you going to accept tomorrow? Do you also intend to accept polygamy, child marriage et cetera?” But as everyone knows, it’s racist for European and North American countries to try to preserve their own heritage, culture, and […]
Egypt: Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar refutes claim that Islam allows Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men
The issue of interfaith marriage has arisen again this week among several Islamic leaders, reflecting a tug of war inside Islam and renewed efforts to keep Sharia provisions rigidly in place. Supremacism and expansionism are central to Islam, while mass Muslim migration, globalism and the Internet have had impact not only upon Western countries, but […]
Turkey seeks extradition from Russia of man who desecrated Qur’an
The Turks are irked, but the Russians should tell them that Russia is not a Sharia state and does not adhere to Sharia blasphemy laws, and that therefore Ibrahim Atabi will not be extradited. Will the Russians do this? Or allow realpolitik to guide their considerations? “Turkey Seeks Extradition of Man Who Desecrated Quran,” International […]
Video: Guest on US-funded Alhurra denigrates Christians
This was broadcast last week on the US-based channel Alhurra, which broadcasts in Arabic to the MENA region. Alhurra is owned by Middle East Broadcasting Networks, a non-profit organization financed by the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), a federal agency funded by the U.S. Congress. Alhurra broadcasts in Arabic, but it seems there is […]
