My latest in PJ Media: NPR on Saturday ran an enthusiastic, bubbly puff piece about “free walking tours” that take place “about once a month to remember centuries of Muslim history in New York City.” Gee, that’s swell. But it does raise an inevitable question: isn’t there a site in New York City where Muslims […]
Bologna, Cardinal Zuppi, and That Pork-Filled Tortellini Ban
Bologna is a city that is famous for its food. It is known Bologna la Grassa – Bologna the Well-Nourished – and is especially known for its pork-based foods: salumi include all cured meats, including salami, prosciutto cotto (baked or boiled ham), prosciutto crudo, salsicce (sausages) of all kinds. The Feast of San Petronio, the […]
Australia: Imams say media shouldn’t have mentioned that boy who forced Jewish boy to kiss his shoes was Muslim
What is astonishing is that the establishment media did actually report that the thug was Muslim. Ordinarily the media elites seem to consider it their first and foremost priority to make sure that no one thinks ill of Islam, and thus to cover up and obfuscate, and in some cases deny outright, the roots of […]
Paris: Police in no-go suburb take the side of Muslim woman illegally wearing face veil
“Activists of the Observatory of the Secularism in Paris’s no-go suburbs have expressed outrage after police took the side of a Muslim woman illegally wearing a full-face veil following an altercation.” The battle to preserve Western civilization continues to rage in France, and the reaction by the Observatory of the Secularism is a sign that […]
In Bologna, and Elsewhere, Muslim “Art Appreciation” Continues
In Bologna, the Catholic diocese recently decided that for the Feast of San Petronio this year, there would be no pork-filled tortellini. Though these tortellini are the pride of Bolognese cuisine, Archbishop Matteo Zuppi (just chosen by Pope Francis to be a cardinal) decided that the Church did not want in any way to offend […]
Canada: People Party’s won’t act against candidate who called Islam “pure evil” and “not compatible with democracy”
“Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party says it won’t take action against one of its candidates in Nova Scotia who called Islam ‘pure evil’ and ‘not compatible with democracy’ in numerous social media posts.” The problem in Canada, especially under anti-Islamophobia Motion M103 — which is intended to intimidate critics of Islam — is that people are […]
Turkey: Human rights activist sentenced ten years jail for “blasphemy” against Islam
You criticize Islam, you pay a dear price, ranging from jail to murder in many Muslim countries. Canan Kaftancioglu, a Turkish politician and critic of Islam, has received a ten-year-long prison sentence for “blasphemy against Islam.” Canan has risked her life and future by standing up for human rights and being daring enough to make […]
India: Muslims hurl heavy stones at Hindu procession for not stopping its music near mosque
Music is haram, and the principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. @Uppolice @up100 @balrampurpolice kya karywahi ki gai hai. pic.twitter.com/2Xq8y3Yx6y — सुशील बाजपेयी अधिवक्ता (@advocatesushil9) October 8, 2019 “UP: […]
“People still associate ‘Allahu akbar’ with violence, while many visitors to our mosque experience it as meditative”
“Because of international terrorism, people still associate ‘Allāhu akbar’ with violence or misery.” Indeed. Even today. And those people are often Muslims themselves. But will that tolerance be reciprocated once Sharia-adherent Muslims are in charge in Amsterdam? Islamic law forbids churches to ring bells. Imagine the embarrassment of Amsterdam officials when their church bells are […]
Turkish Columnist: We Must Stop Western Civilization From Destroying the World
As Turkey prepares to move into Syria, it is useful to recall, as an insight into a widespread Turkish mindset, a July 8, 2019 column entitled “Stopping Western Civilization” and published in the Turkish pro-government Milli Gazete daily. Here is MEMRI’s summary: Turkish columnist Mehmed Şevket Eygi asked readers: “Can we allow Western civilization to […]
