This double standard is not surprising. After all, the Qur’an says: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another and harsh to disbelievers” (48:29). Someone who believes that to be holy writ may indeed be more inclined to pardon a Muslim accused of blasphemy than a Christian accused […]
Syria: Islamic jihadists destroy 3,000-year-old Assyrian artifacts
Islamic jihadists want to ruin the artifacts of non-Muslim civilizations, because doing so testifies to the truth of Islam. The Qur’an suggests that ruins are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what […]
Egypt: Woman kicked off TV show for expressing skepticism about Islam
Note also how fervently the unhijabbed host expresses her desire that the fullness of Sharia be implemented, “alcohol banned, and the cabarets..shut down. I am a Muslim and, therefore, I must implement Allah’s shari’a.” Will Muslim leaders in the West jet over to Cairo and explain to Riham Said that there is a multiplicity of […]
Turkey’s FM at UN conference: “No one can act to destroy Jerusalem’s Islamic identity”
What Islamic identity? Islam’s claim to Jerusalem is based entirely on Qur’an 17:1: “Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.” Muslims identify this reference to Masjid al-Aqsa as referring […]
90% of abducted Nigerian schoolgirls are Christians; jihadists released Muslim girls
“Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another, but harsh to the unbelievers” (Qur’an 48:29). The sharp dichotomy between Muslims and non-Muslims runs through all of Islamic doctrine. In Islamic law, non-Muslims are to be denied basic rights; indeed, they simply have no rights that Muslims are bound […]
Australia: Muslim pedophile not charged because of “cultural differences” still stalking children
Here is the tolerant West at its most suicidal: after Ali Jaffari was charged with attempted child-stealing, “Magistrate Ron Saines said if he was hearing the matter, he would have reasonable doubt, citing ‘cultural differences’ as one factor, which would result in the charges being dismissed.” Jaffari is “an Afghan refugee, was convicted in Geelong […]
Egyptian Muslim group: Democracy “theorizes the equality of Jews, Copts and Muslims and must therefore be condemned”
Ansar Beit al-Maqdis (not “Magdis,” as in this article) means “Supporters of the Holy House,” which refers to the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and the surrounding area. Anyway, in the U.S. we are constantly told that only greasy Islamophobes think that Islam and democracy are incompatible, despite the fact that there has not been a […]
Hizb ut-Tahrir takes over legendary Danish soccer club: “Alcohol cannot be reconciled with football”
(Alcohol and beer belong together like Christmas and presents… But fun and Islam do not mix…) (Hizb ut-Tahrir demonstrating in Denmark with jihad-banners… They now have direct access to young men in Muslim-dense Brøndby…) Brøndby Strand Football Club was started in 1935. Now they have a new boss. From Copenhagen Post. Last year at […]
Turkey: Hagia Sophia to be mosque and museum, icons to be cast into shadow to avoid offending Islam
Islamization marches on in Turkey. “The threat to reopen Hagia Sofia to Muslim worship has already led to heated criticism from Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew I and the Greek government. The head of the Eastern Orthodox Church warned that ‘we and all other Christians will oppose it.’” The Ecumenical Patriarch should not count on that, […]
“My compulsory halal pizza is hard to swallow”
This is succinctly and superbly stated: “Let’s rediscover the virtue of choice. Of course Muslims should be free to have halal meat, and the rest of us should be free to demand non-halal meat – and to watch edgy plays and read blasphemous books. That’s how a modern democracy works: we tolerate minority faiths, and […]
