“God ordered you to kill his enemies and wage jihad in his name, preach religion and the sharia and punish the sinner.” Jihad? Sharia? Could all this have something to do with…Islam? The woman who beheaded a toddler last week in Russia said that Allah had ordered her to kill. She has been dismissed as […]
Italy’s Senate Speaker: “We must reject suspicion and resentment against Islam”
But what if there really are doctrines of Islam that incite believers in Islam to commit acts of violence, and to work to subvert non-Sharia political systems?

Canada: Imam says Rome will be conquered by Muslims, as Constantinople was
Because Muhammad prophesied it, you see. But whatever may be the objective merits of that prophecy (i.e., none), the fact that this imam in Canada believes it, and other Muslims believe it, make the prospects of peaceful coexistence on a longterm basis between Muslims and Christians in Europe dim at best. “Canada Friday Sermon by […]
Even in Italy, Christian converts from Islam live in fear of reprisals
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57).

Moroccan Islamic State fighter was “perfectly integrated” into Italy
“The young Moroccan and his family were perfectly integrated into our community.” No authorities, however, will consider it necessary to ponder the implications of that fact. Nor do they appear particularly concerned about the fact that the Islamic State has told its operatives in the West to appear to be fully integrated. More on this […]
Italy covers up naked statues, bans wine for visit of Iranian President Rouhani
When in Muslim countries, non-Muslims should conform their behavior to Muslim sensibilities. When in non-Muslim countries, non-Muslims should conform their behavior to Islamic sensibilities. That is the dictum that Western authorities increasingly follow. “Italy covers up naked statues and bans wine for visit of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani,” by Umberto Bacchi, International Business Times, January […]
Italy: Islamic State jihadi arrested; talked of “fastening belt to reach heaven”
The Qur’an guarantees Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111). This is the justification for suicide bombing, as it leads people like Hamil Mehdi to think they can reach Paradise by fastening on a suicide belt and murdering a few Infidels, getting killed in the process. “‘ISIS jihadi’ arrested in Italy […]
Italy: Gun-wielding Muslims shoot pistol in air, ask teens if they believe in Allah
Europe’s glorious multiculturalism in full flower. “The teens responded that they don’t believe in anything.” That’s why they will be conquered and subjugated. “Gun-wielding Arabs ask teens if they ‘believe in Allah,’” ANSA, January 8, 2016 (thanks to Insubria): (ANSA) – Modena, January 8 – Five teenagers were reportedly threatened by Arabs from the Maghreb […]
