Philadelphia: Muslim named Aziz considering legal action after his name is written “ISIS” at Starbucks
That there is a furor over this incident at all shows that there is no serious problem of genuine anti-Muslim bigotry (as opposed to honest analysis of the motivating ideology of Islamic jihad, which is routinely and falsely characterized as bigotry) in the United States.

Canada: Liberals drop Muslim candidate who hailed jihadi after his statements come to light
Offensive comments in and of themselves are not a reason to justify punitive measures against someone.

Here’s why Ilhan Omar’s claim that “white men” are greater threat than jihad terrorists is wrong
It has become commonplace among Leftists — not just Ilhan Omar — to claim that “white men” are a greater threat than jihad terrorists. (They say nothing about white jihad terrorists.) We have debunked this claim many times here at Jihad Watch, and here is another able takedown of this enduringly popular Big Lie. “WALSH: […]
