That Tiny Minority of Extremists just keeps growing. “Poll’s finding on Islam and violence should ring alarm bells,” by Barçin Yinanç, Hürriyet Daily News, February 3, 2015: “We have been following with great concern what is happening at the Fatih Mosque in Istanbul,” a Western diplomat told me, in reference to demonstrations of support of […]
UK Muslim leader: London Mayor’s calling jihadis “losers” was “terrorism”
Note the sleight of hand. We’re constantly told that jihad terrorists aren’t true Muslims, but are twisting and hijacking the Religion of Peace.
