Russia and Greece, as well as the US, France, and others, have stated their opposition to Hagia Sophia becoming a mosque. That Erdogan would move ahead with this anyway shows that he is not worried about antagonizing either friend (Russia and ostensibly the US) or foe (Greece). He appears to be much more concerned to […]
Turkish court rules that Ataturk had no right to convert Hagia Sophia from a mosque to a museum
Hagia Sophia is almost certain to be declared a mosque soon. As I explain below, this is an integral part of Erdogan’s desire to restore the Ottoman caliphate. European leaders seem neither to know or care about the significance and implications of that. “Top Court Declares Hagia Sophia a Mosque,” by Jules Gomes, Church Militant, […]
UK’s Independent reveals “How Muslim women are using makeup to get closer to their religion”
The Independent wants to make sure that you know that Muslim women are not “demure and oppressed.” And that’s just wonderful. Meanwhile, when does the Independent plan to run its feature on how Jewish women use makeup? How Christian women use makeup? How Hindu women use makeup? Etc. The answer in every case, of course, […]
Muslims enraged, demand ban of film glorifying Muhammad, threaten to murder filmmaker, filmmaking is un-Islamic
“Those who make a direct mistake on Mohammad Saheb, O dog will die.” The “mistake” here is a film that portrays Muhammad favorably. But even that is not acceptable. Islamic apologists insist that Muslims do not worship Muhammad, and to be sure, he is not considered a deity in Islamic theology, but the rage over […]
Pakistan: Muslim clerics oppose building of Hindu temple, court halts construction
Why did the clerics want to halt construction of this temple. Because, as the old adage goes, Islam must dominate and not be dominated. Meanwhile, authorities the world over take that quest for dominance as a matter of course, and give way before it. “Religious intolerance,” Dawn Editorial, July 6, 2020 (thanks to The Religion […]
Pakistan: Muslim destroys wall of Hindu temple, says “Allah wishes, I will not let a temple be constructed here”
It’s the same story everywhere and in every case. The cognitive dissonance is absolute. In the U.S., Muslims are denied permits to build mosques in areas zoned as residential, and successfully sue again and again on spurious grounds of “Islamophobia.” Meanwhile, Leftists trample on and burn the flag and denounce America as oppressive. In the […]
Denmark: Leader of Islamocritical party disbarred and jailed for “racism”
Rasmus Paludan, the head of Denmark’s so-called “far-right” Stram Kurs party, “has been given a month in jail” for racism and defamation. His stunts have included publicly burning the Koran, sometimes wrapped in bacon, in what he said was a tribute to free speech. Yet the vilest mockery of Christianity has gone on for years […]
Pakistan: Muslims murder Christian for buying a home in a “Muslim-only” neighborhood
Imagine if the roles were reversed, not that that would ever or should ever happen. There would be a massive international outcry. But no one will take any significant notice of this. “Christian Man Shot for Living in a ‘Muslim Neighborhood’ in Pakistan Dies,” International Christian Concern, July 1, 2020: 07/01/2020 Pakistan (International Christian Concern) […]
Turkey: When Alevis Were Burned Alive
On July 2, 1993, yet another massacre targeted defenseless members of a religious minority in Turkey. On that day, a group of Alevi intellectuals were publicly burned alive by pious Muslims at a hotel in the city of Sivas. The perpetrators still remain unpunished. Moreover, many defense lawyers have had prosperous careers in Turkish […]
HBO Max Buries Mohammed South Park Episodes Alongside Gone With the Wind
HBO Max must really hate slave owners. All 23 seasons of the Comedy Central animation South Park are available on HBO Max – except for five episodes that depict Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Sources tell Deadline the missing episodes were not part of the 23-season package shopped by Viacom to streamers last year, and Viacom had made the decision to exclude them in […]
