Shahid A Abbasi is Emeritus Professor at Pondicherry University in India. In this article, he hits on the real why Erdogan should not have converted Hagia Sophia to a mosque. Not out of respect for the Christians of Turkey and for the country’s Christian heritage. Not to demonstrate his commitment to Kemalist secularism. Not because […]
Saudi Arabia’s call for UN to embrace ‘Islamophobia’ as racism threatens global religious freedom
Last week, Jihad Watch reported about “Saudi Arabia calls for ‘final solutions’ to stamp out ‘Islamophobia,’ including prison and fines”: For years now, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and other Islamic groups have condemned any and all honest discussion of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and oppression […]
Turkey: By opposing Hagia Sophia conversion, ‘Greece showed once again its enmity towards Islam’
The conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque was an act of cultural aggression against Greece and Orthodox Christians worldwide. It was a declaration of the victory of Islam over Christianity and the supremacy of Islam. It was also a tacit declaration of war against all the countries that once were part of the Ottoman […]
Islamophobia Islamophilia is the problem
(This is my introduction to my new book on Islamophiles, titled Islam Bitches, as they deserve no respect and full mockery for aiding and abetting an enemy ideology in wartime.) We’re often told, by Muslims and by non-Muslims with a severe case of Islamophilia, that “Islamophobia” is the problem, post-911. “Islamophobia”. What a word. Its […]
At UN, Saudi Arabia calls for ‘final solutions’ to stamp out ‘Islamophobia,’ including prison and fines
Note that Meshaal Bin Ali Al Balawi is not talking about “Islamophobia” as vigilante attacks on innocent Muslims, which are never justified. He is talking about speech that he considers to be promoting “racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia,” and above all, “Islamophobia.” For years now, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and other Islamic groups […]
Biden wants schools to teach more about Islam, vows to stamp out “Islamicphobia”
I’m all for teaching more in schools about Islam, but Biden wants a fantasy version that is entirely positive to be taught, while I would prefer an accurate presentation that explains the theological and ideological roots of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. Note also that he vows to end the “Muslim ban,” which […]
Iran Imprisons Christians, Then Showcases Book on U.S. ‘Islamophobia’
My latest in PJ Media: “War is deceit,” according to a statement attributed to Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, and the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran were taking notes. After stepping up the persecution of Christians and even carrying out raids and arrests against them, Iranian authorities paused long enough to unveil, with […]
Erdogan: ‘If a faith-oriented discussion is to be held, the topic should be not Hagia Sophia, but Islamophobia’
This is because in Erdogan’s world, the discussion must never be about what Muslims may have done to harm anyone else, but only about how Muslims have been harmed. He shares this perspective with Islamic supremacists the world over. It is always, always, always the other guy’s fault, no matter what. “With its new status, […]
CAIR Demands Firing of Barista Who Called a Woman Named Aishah ‘ISIS’
My latest in PJ Media: If anti-Muslim hate crimes do not exist, they must be invented. They’re simply too politically useful to do without. And so it is that the Minnesota chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) held a press conference Monday to demand the firing of a Starbucks barista who was […]

In Minnesota, at a Starbucks inside a Target store, a Muslim woman ordered a coffee. When it was delivered to her, she saw written on the plastic cup the name “Isis.” She was enraged. CAIR came to her rescue. All hell broke loose. The story is here. On Wednesday, a Muslim woman found the name […]
