“If we want to make Islam less hated, we need to find out what wrong we have done, although we would like to say we have done no wrong.” “Islam teaches its followers not to indulge in violence but ‘we are not following those teachings’, he said.” Yeah, it’s a real head-scratcher. If anyone has […]
New Zealand: Man fired for calling Islam “violent and destructive” after Christchurch mosque massacre
Has the whole world lost the ability to think clearly? The question of whether or not Islam is violent and destructive is not answered by shootings at a mosque, but by examination of Islam’s texts, teachings, and history. If Islam is violent and destructive, it doesn’t become peaceful and constructive when some psychopath murders innocent […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Pennsylvania Muslim lawmaker: Prayer in name of Jesus is “Islamophobic”
Time for all Christians to convert to Islam. Anything else would “offend.” My latest in FrontPage: Ibrahim Hooper, call your office: there was an outbreak of “Islamophobia” Monday at the Pennsylvania State Assembly. Luckily, Muslim state Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell was there to blow the whistle on this bigotry and hatred. The “Islamophobia,” according to journalist […]
Maajid Nawaz: Use the word “Muslimphobia” instead of “Islamophobia”
Maajid Nawaz has another article out, and the cover picture for it is, as usual, of his face (it’s rarely a picture relating to the content of the piece). This time he’s looking contemplatively at the viewer. At other times, he’s staring wistfully in a pastel-coloured turtleneck, or gazing off into the middle-distance as though […]
In Cedar Rapids, “Nationally Recognized Expert” Todd Green Deplores “Epidemic of Islamophobia” (Part 4)
Changing the narrative to something that better resembles reality will not only take time, but it also is a battle that must be fought on multiple fronts. Because personal relationships can inoculate against bigotry, Green advocates for more opportunities for people of differing backgrounds to engage each other. Kind, patient Muslims want to be your […]
Cambridge University drops Jordan Peterson for posing for photo with man in “proud Islamophobe” t-shirt
The shirt specifies that the wearer is against “pedophilia, rape, wife-beating, slavery, homophobia, misogyny, violence against women and children,” and more. Is Cambridge University for those things? Or does Stephen Toope (I do hope his email address starts with “stoope”) believe that none of those things have anything to do with Islam? Unfortunately, all too […]
In Cedar Rapids, “Nationally Recognized Expert” Todd Green Deplores “Epidemic of Islamophobia” (Part 3)
“In this regard, Cedar Rapids is not much different from the rest of the nation in that it has not been shielded from the anti-Muslim bigotry and racism that other regions and communities have been experiencing,” he said. Where is all this “anti-Muslim bigotry” and “racism” that Todd Green sees everywhere? The major media have […]
Erdogan: European politicians opposed to conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque are “enemies of Islam”
This paints a large target on their backs, and may ensure, since they are clueless and cowardly dhimmis, that they will fall into line with Erdogan’s plans. “Erdoğan calls some EU politicians ‘enemies of Islam,’” SCF, March 25, 2019: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has accused EU politicians Kati Piri, Federica Mogherini and Johannes Hahn […]
Pennsylvania: Muslim lawmaker says prayer in name of Jesus “represented Islamophobia”
Rep. Stephanie Borowicz’s prayer may have been inappropriate in a setting in which not everyone present was Christian. We have, however, seen many imams say prayers at various legislative bodies that are not non-sectarian, but manifestly Islamic and even condemning of Jews and Christians, while the non-Muslim lawmakers stand with oblivious heads bowed. But “Islamophobic”? […]
