“You infidel! You pig!” Muslim attacks priest in German supermarket
Welcome to Merkel’s Germany! Why did the police decline to act, and the bystanders remain silent? No doubt because they were afraid of charges of “Islamophobia.” How much of this thuggish behavior is going to be tolerated before people decide that maybe defending their rights and insisting on decent conduct is not “bigotry”?

Qadhi said that to “kill … the homosexual – this is also our religion,” and that “to make fun of Allah and his Messenger, the punishment is death.” Those statements are just standard Islamic law, but there are still some who insist that Qadhi is a “moderate.” In any case, he will have no trouble […]
