Maajid Nawaz’s fairy-tale version of Islam
On Maajid Nawaz’s LBC radio call-in show, he is forever taking fellow Muslims to task. He berates them if they believe homosexuals or adulterers should be stoned.

Indonesia: Rally to promote moderate Islam canceled after threats of violence from Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar”
“Further incidents of provocation were planned. Our members would find it difficult to control their anger in the face of such flagrant exploitation of our religious symbols.” The “flagrant exploitation of our religious symbols” in question was the burning of a Hizb ut-Tahrir flag, because it contained the shahada, the Islamic profession of faith.

Tariq Ramadan claims consensual sex with women accusing him of rape, after previously denying any physical contact
Tariq Ramadan’s changing of his story at this point both reveals the dishonesty of this much-lauded Islamic “reformer,” and shows that he realizes how strong the case is against him.

Indonesia: Mosque survey finds 41% of Jakarta mosques are “radical,” including many that are state-owned
This is only a surprise to those who don’t know, or don’t wish to know, that the teachings of jihad warfare and the subjugation of Infidels under the rule of Islamic law are found among all the mainstream Sunni and Shi’ite schools of jurisprudence, and not just among “radicals.” The Sunni schools: Shafi’i school: A […]
Tariq Ramadan: Too Devilishly Attractive For His Own Good
The lawyers for Tariq Ramadan, the “towering intellect” and “foremost Islamic scholar,” recently won a lone victory: the judges considering the accusations against him by the woman known as “Marie,” whose real name is Mounia Barrouj.
