“I am an 84-year-old journalist who is Muslim, Arab and Black. I have lived and worked in Washington for 46 years.” Impressive! Yet it harms Salih’s case. Could a non-Muslim journalist live and work in Mecca for 46 years? No, he couldn’t do so for 46 seconds. And as in so very many other articles […]
The New York Times Sees Ussama Makdisi’s Murderous Vaporings as Fit to Print
Ussama Makdisi is a longtime Palestinian-American scholar-cum-propagandist for the cause of Palestine. He routinely describes Israel — piling on the malignant adjectives — as a “colonial-settler apartheid genocidal state.” He has now been appointed as the first professor of Palestinian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, where he will now have a bully pulpit […]
Another Muslim Stabbing, Another Attempted Media Cover-Up
In Germany, two Syrian nationals stabbed to death a German man and seriously wounded his Bosnian-Herzegovinian companion. That’s not unusual: there are Muslim migrants killing people every day in Europe, just as Muslims in Europe are every day grooming young girls to become their sex slaves. What is of note in this instance is the […]
Why Tablet Mag Must Publish a Basic Factual Correction That Implodes Judith Miller’s Crude Hit Piece on Bat Ye’or
As described in the Sunday, April 12, 2026 email below, I am insisting Tablet Magazine fulfill its most basic journalistic responsibility and acknowledge and correct an obvious and egregious error in Judith Miller’s essay (full essay available here), “Bat Ye’or and Europe’s Identity Crisis—Daughter of the Nile,” March 30, 2026.

UK: 70% of mosques refused to participate in anti-grooming sermon initiative
The BBC reported that 70 percent of mosques refused to participate in the anti-grooming sermon initiative in 2013. In some of the <500 mosques that participated, the congregation shouted at the imams and tried to stop the sermon. The Pakistani rape gangs are a Muslim problem.… https://t.co/ZSsyw0iyBN pic.twitter.com/BPj6m6dmkW — Connor Tomlinson (@Con_Tomlinson) April 10, 2026 […]
Truth-Teller Encounters the Buzz-Saw of the Establishment Narrative
New in PJ Media: What happens when someone dissents from the leftist establishment narrative in a way that is so compelling and convincing that the continued wide acceptance of that narrative is imperiled? What happens is that the leftist media establishment deploys its strongest rhetorical weapons against the offender, hoping to destroy or at least […]
WaPo Columnist Says Muslims Should Not Be Expected to Assimilate, and What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
New in PJ Media: It used to be taken for granted that immigrants to the United States would assimilate, adopt American cultural values, and become Americans. That idea, of course, was lost long ago as the lust for “diversity” and “multiculturalism” overtook the political and media elites, but up until Old Joe Biden opened the […]
Muslim Washington Post columnist: “Practicing Muslims can’t disavow ‘sharia’ even if they wanted to”
The bad faith that is manifest in this and all other recent defenses of Sharia against the supposedly bigoted “Islamophobes” who are trying to oppose it is that all these defenses of Sharia completely ignore the political, supremacist, expansionist, and violent aspects of Sharia, and bank on their audience’s ignorance of the fact that those […]

Muslim Georgia state senator decides to run for lieutenant governor because Republican released ‘Islamophobic’ ad
This is just one of a great many articles that all fall into the same fallacy, or attempt to pull off the same rhetorical trick: they characterize any and all criticism of Islam and opposition to Sharia as a “racist” attack on Muslims that places them in physical danger. They do this despite the fact […]
