My latest in PJ Media: As I noted last Tuesday, the establishment media spent the days leading up to the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 jihad attacks publishing stories about how Muslims had been victimized by “Islamophobia” in the attacks’ aftermath. They didn’t put away the whitewash on the fateful day’s anniversary, either, and why […]
Germany: Public broadcaster omits the clue ‘Arabic appearance’ from description of wanted rapist
The first priority of the establishment media is to do everything it can to ensure that Islam is exonerated from any responsibility for crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings. That leads to omissions of this kind. “Flyer omits ‘Arabic appearance,’” translated from “Sender lässt „arabisches Aussehen“ weg,” by Karl Keim, […]
Teen Vogue columnist: 9/11 was ‘attack on heteropatriarchal capitalistic systems’
Twenty years later, this is where we are. If Jenn M. Jackson, Ph.D. (!) thinks that the 9/11 attacks were an attack on “heteropatriarchal capitalistic systems,” does she think they were perpetrated by lesbian Communists? She may well. Or at very least, she likely thinks that lesbian Communists and their allies were or will be […]
How the Associated Press Sanitizes Hamas Terrorists
Words matter. Those who describe Israel as a “colonial-settler state,” an “apartheid regime,” are attempting, by dint of repetition of such phrases, to blacken the image of the Jewish state. They have met, alas, with some success. Similarlly, those who describe every act of islamocriticism as “islamophobia” have been able to intimidate many islamocritics […]
In the Run-Up to the 20th Anniversary of 9/11, Media Pushing Stories About How Muslims Were the Real Victims
My latest in PJ Media: Saturday marks twenty years since Islamic jihadis attacked New York City and Washington, and the establishment media is doing all it can to ensure that Americans grasp the true significance of those attacks: not that America was hit by a global jihad that has only gained in strength since […]
Washington Post Knows What Will Make America Great Again: Afghan Refugees
My latest in PJ Media: Well, whaddeya know, the Washington Post really does want to make America great again, and it has just the plan to do it: bring in tens of thousands of Afghan refugees. In an unsigned editorial entitled “Afghan refugees will know indifference, bigotry — and also kindness — in America. They will […]
Marjorie Taylor Greene Excoriated as ‘Islamophobic’ for Saying ‘Islam Is Not a Religion of Peace’
My latest in PJ Media: Here is yet another example of how telling unwelcome truths is stigmatized today. The UK’sIndependent on Thursday published an article detailing the latest enormity committed by the conservative congresswoman the establishment media loves to hate: “Marjorie Taylor Greene faces angry backlash after Islamophobic tweet: ‘Islam is not a religion of peace.’” […]
Washington Post: Afghan refugees will encounter ‘bigotry’ in the US, but they will make America better
“In fact, the number of refugees, Muslims or otherwise, who have carried out terrorist attacks in this country is minuscule.” How many is “minuscule”? How many are acceptable? At what point does it become foolish to bring in people among whom there is an unknowable number of jihadis, or is there no such point? “Opinion: […]
MSNBC guest likens pro-lifers to suicide bombers
This kind of ignorant moral equivalence is increasingly common in the American public discourse, and has the effect of lulling Americans into complacency regarding the actual jihad threat. Well, see, they’re just like those irritating pro-lifers. “SHAME: Vile Sharpton Show Lets Guest Compare Pro-Lifers to ‘Suicide Bombers,’” by Brad Wilmouth, NewsBusters, August 29, 2021: On […]
UK’s Independent accuses Marjorie Taylor Greene of ‘Islamophobia’ for saying ‘Islam is not a religion of peace’
Here is yet another example of how telling unwelcome truths is stigmatized today. Islam is not actually a religion of peace, and it is not a matter of bigotry or hatred to point this out. Are the authoritative schools of Sunni jurisprudence “Islamophobic”? Shafi’i school: A Shafi’i manual of Islamic law that was certified in […]
