“As it unfortunately happens in any part of the world after a terrorist attack carried out by Islamist groups, the immediate consequence is a backlash against the Muslim community.” That’s a false claim. There is media handwringing about a backlash against Muslims after every jihad massacre, but hardly ever is there an actual backlash. There […]
Canada: Four Green Party candidates accused of “Islamophobic” views, apologize and learn about Islam from NCCM
Canada’s Green party has said that “it recently learned of Islamophobic social-media posts by four of its Quebec candidates. The candidates will make public statements of apology and commit to learning more about Islam by working with the National Council of Canadian Muslims, the party said.” Recall Canada’s anti-Islamophobia motion M-103 — which most have […]
France: After Paris jihad massacre and 9/11-style plot, leading intellectuals urge action against “Islamophobia”
Not against Islamic jihad terrorism, but against “Islamophobia.” That means they will get more of the former, and less of the latter, including honest analysis of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, which is routinely stigmatized as “Islamophobia.” France is finished. “Leading French figures urge action against Islamophobia,” Yeni Safak, October 16, 2019: […]
Loyola Marymount University accuses YAF of “Islamophobia” for posting “counter-jihad poster”
I am an “anti-Muslim extremist,” claims Cristobal Spielmann, and offers this as his explanation of why: a pamphlet I wrote “takes every opportunity to paint the near entirety of Islam and the Quran as violent while creating a paranoid ‘us vs. them’ narrative of the West in a moral struggle with Islam.” In reality, of […]
“Discredited Anti-Muslim Groups Such as Jihad Watch” (Part 2)
The Southern Poverty Law Center has been discredited mainly by the behavior of its top executives, especially Morris Dees. Its extraordinarily well-paid executives, like those who direct CAIR, have made free with their charges of “islamophobia,” which they use to describe, in order to undermine, any effective islamocriticism. They are also sloppy in making other […]
France: police afraid to report suspicious colleagues to avoid “Islamophobia” label
“French police are said to be reluctant to report the suspicious activity of Muslim colleagues over fears of being branded Islamophobic. Institutional failures in reporting possible extremist behaviour are in the spotlight in France after a Muslim convert working in a police support role killed four officers in Paris. Senior officers are under pressure to […]
CNN Tries to Get Interior Department Official Fired for Opposing Jihad Violence
My latest in PJ Media: So it turns out that the acting director of the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management, William Perry Pendley, has denied the Left’s “climate change” mythology, and opposes jihad violence and illegal immigration. CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski is out for blood, trying to get Pendley for heresy, that is, for his […]
Canada: Human Rights Tribunal awards $120,000 to Muslim who lied on job application and didn’t get the job
“Though it is legitimate not to hire someone because they lied, if the reason they lied was to avoid discriminatory treatment, the tribunal held, the lie is justified and the question illegal.” Would Muhammad Haseeb be getting $120,000 if he weren’t Muslim? And yet Muslims in Canada will still continue to claim that they are […]
“Discredited Anti-Muslim Groups Such as Jihad Watch” (Part 1)
WBUR, Boston’s NPR station, has reported another “anti-Muslim” contretemps. The story is here: Muslim rights and advocacy groups in Massachusetts have accused a suburban Boston city councilor of anti-Islamic social media posts. Revere city councilor George Rotondo Jr. insisted late Tuesday his online posts “are not what they are being called” and said the allegations […]
UN hits Netherlands burqa ban: “This law has no place in a society that prides itself in promoting gender equality”
The Dutch law (and others like it) is popularly known as a burqa ban, but it actually bans all clothing “which covers the face,” and that would include the niqab, which is more common in the Netherlands than the burqa. It would also cover Antifa masks. This is a simple matter of public safety, as […]
