The hadith Biden is quoting is this one: “On the authority of Abu Sa`eed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say, ‘Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his […]
Pakistan: Muslims smash Buddha statue, Muslim cleric says “you will no more be a believer” if statue isn’t destroyed
“We must also free ourselves from the clutches of jahili society” — that is, society ordered according to human laws (literally, those of ignorance) rather than divine ones — “jahili concepts, jahili traditions and jahili leadership. Our mission is not to compromise with the practices of jahili society, nor can we be loyal to it. […]
New York Times Falsely Claims Muhammad Would Deplore Conversion of Hagia Sophia to a Mosque
My latest in PJ Media: If you’re concerned about the implications for the geopolitical scene, as well as for the Church, of the conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque, relax: in a piece by the prominent Turkish moderate Muslim Mustafa Akyol, the New York Times is here to tell you that what’s happening is […]
UK: Police consider dropping terms ‘Islamist terror’ and ‘jihadi’ to avoid offending Muslims
Labeling jihadis “irhabis,” those who wage unlawful warfare, of course assumes that jihad activity goes against the teachings of Islam. Obligingly calling jihadis irhabis will prevent British authorities from being able to confront or challenge the fact that jihadis make recruits among peaceful Muslims by presenting themselves as the authentic exponents of Islamic teachings. Pretending […]
Pakistan: Ancient Buddha statue discovered, Muslim construction workers destroy it as “un-Islamic”
Besides removing supposed temptations to idolatry, Islamic jihadists want to destroy the artifacts of non-Muslim civilizations because doing so testifies to the truth of Islam, as the Qur’an suggests that the destroyed remnants of ancient non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: Many were the Ways of Life […]
Malaysia: Man gets two years in prison for insulting Islam and Muhammad on Facebook
Facebook will likely ban him, too. They don’t like the freedom of speech over there. This is yet another glimpse into the future of the U.S. This can’t happen here, you say? We respect the freedom of speech, you say? Maybe that was true at one time, but it is no longer. Cowardice is pandemic. […]
Hagia Sophia, Pope Francis, and UNESCO
The U.S., Russia, Greece, the E.U., the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew, the Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus’ Kirill, even the left-leaning Israel-demeaning World Council of Churches and many others, have expressed various degrees of “grief and dismay” at the announcement by Turkish President Erdogan that from now on, Hagia Sophia would no longer […]
Sudan: Muslims protest against abolition of death penalty for leaving Islam, call for jihad against government
The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. Accordingly, some Muslims will never accept its being set aside: Allah’s laws override all man-made laws. The death penalty for leaving Islam is based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from […]
Vatican top dog: Conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque “should not be put down to current Islamic aggression”
In reality, that’s exactly what it should be put down to. But Körner no doubt feels compelled to try to preserve Pope Francis’ fiction that “current Islamic aggression” has anything to do with the teachings of Islam itself. Accordingly, he has to ignore Erdogan’s explicit grounding of the conversion of Hagia Sophia in Islamic terms. […]
Texas: Islamic scholar says Khomeini greater than Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, ‘Islam should dominate the world’
Haider’s message amounts to an open call to overthrow the “Great Satan,” as regime loyalists and mullahs frequently call the United States. The apathy regarding calls of this nature in the United States itself, as well as in other non-Muslim countries, aids the efforts of jihadists everywhere. There should be zero tolerance and moves toward […]
