When accused, claim victimhood status. It’s a time-hallowed and frequently used strategy. “Mosque of Elsau: the mayor welcomes the work of the police, the association denounces a relentlessness,” translated from “Mosquée de l’Elsau: la maire salue le travail de la police, l’association dénonce un acharnement,” Les Actualités d’Alsace, October 13, 2021 (thanks to Medforth): A […]
Hate Crime in New Jersey Elementary School, Victim to Be Determined
My latest in PJ Media: An ongoing “hate crime” controversy in Maplewood, New Jersey, brings Leftist fantasies about evil, racist “Amerikkka” once again to the fore.

Revisionist History: Columbus Discovered America Because He Hated Muslims, LA Times Claims
My latest in PJ Media: Christopher Columbus was the “progenitor of a continental genocide,” claims Alan Mikhail in the Los Angeles Times Monday, and Mikhail is not part of some affirmative action plan at the Times to give a voice to those who propagate insanely ahistorical anti-American garbage. Mikhail is, in fact, the chair of the Department of […]
UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion says criticism of Islam is ‘not in of itself Islamophobia’
Shaheed is talking sense, but he is going against what has been the near-universal usage of the term “Islamophobia” since it was invented. The term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: crimes against innocent Muslims, or discrimination against them, neither of which is ever justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology […]

‘Scholars have shown that there is no evidence that Islam has ever preached the use of terror’
N.C. Asthana is a retired Indian Police Service officer and a writer on many topics. Here he gives us the usual denials, deflections, detours and deceptions.

UK: London’s Muslim mayor says he needs 24/7 protection because of ‘racists and Islamophobes’
The modus operandi of “progressive” and Islamic supremacist leaders with regard to immigration: i) Swing the doors open to unvetted immigration. ii) Demand that everyone accept their suicidal immigration policies, otherwise they’re “racists” and/or “Islamophobes.” iii) Then scream “islamophobia” and racism again when crime rates soar, and people make the connection. iv) Run for cover […]
Terrorist-Sympathizing Panel Buries Identity of 9/11’s Killers While Slandering Their Victims
“9/11, as we all know, does not begin on 9/11” when Al Qaeda waged jihad against the United States, but has an imperialist prehistory that goes “back really to the birth of the colonial order,” stated UCLA history professor Robin Kelley during “Whose Narrative? 20 Years Since 9/11/2001,” a September 11 webinar. He and his fellow panelists, including two terrorist supporters, hijacked a solemn day of mourning […]
Rutgers professors mark 20th anniversary of 9/11 by assaulting America
America’s recent military withdrawal from Afghanistan “is a fantastic defeat for U.S. imperialism,” crowed Rutgers University professor of media studies Deepa Kumar during the Sept. 10 webinar “Twenty Years after 9/11: Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire.” With a penchant for impenetrable leftist jargon, she and her colleagues at New Jersey’s flagship public university engaged in an anti-American diatribe […]
Professors and Activists Spin 9/11 Conspiracies While Claiming Victimhood
The webinar “9/11: American Muslims Twenty Years Later” does not concern “who did it, was it Mossad, the CIA, and how did bin Laden get operatives in the building to orchestrate a controlled demolition,” stated Zaytuna College co-founder and professor emeritus Zaid Shakir. On 9/11’s twentieth anniversary, he and his fellow panelists spun absurd […]
