I keep returning to Reza Aslan here because he is an excellent example of a deceptive Islamic supremacist who is widely taken as a “moderate.” He is therefore a perfect illustration of how such Islamic supremacists bamboozle the ignorant and unwitting. The adolescent literary pretender Aslan continues to race around the country promoting his new […]
“Moderate” Reza Aslan praises jihad terror group Hizballah, appears for Muslim Brotherhood group MSA
Aslan: Did he ever meet a jihad terror group he didn’t like? Reza Aslan is a prime contemporary example of a deceptive Islamic supremacist who is widely taken as a “moderate,” and is thus a good illustration of how the ignorant and unwitting — especially Leftist NPR multiculturalist types — can be taken in by […]
Moderate Muslim who beheaded his wife claims jailers torturing and plotting to kill him
We have seen again and again over the years that Islamic supremacists never take responsibility for anything they have done, but instead constantly point fingers at others and claim victim status. And so it is with Muzzammil Hassan, the founder of Bridges TV, a network designed to show the true, peaceful face of Islam, and […]
Islamic hate site says Spencer is like a “cancer” that must be “cut out”
An Islamic hate site that offers excuses for jihad terror and windy pseudo-refutations, rife with errors of fact and logic, of my work has now crossed the line into open death threats: Mosizzle says: November 11, 2010 at 1:18 pm “Robert Spencer…[a] canny operative who likely has the inside track on the State Department’s Middle […]
Islam is based on justice and forbids extremism, says Saudi grand mufti at Hajj where pilgrims chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”
Chants reported here. It is doubtful that anyone there noticed any contradiction. When Sheikh Abdul Aziz al Sheikh began condemning terrorism and extremism, most of his hearers probably thought he was referring to the actions of America and Israel. “No terrorism in Islam: Saudi grand mufti,” from the Daily Times, November 16 (thanks to all […]
Some Muslims attending Capitol Hill prayer group have ties to jihad terror
And only someone who is sure that Islam is a Religion of Peace would be shocked by this. “Some Muslims Attending Capitol Hill Prayer Group Have Terror Ties, Probe Reveals,” by Jana Winter for Fox News, November 11 (thanks to Axel): An Al Qaeda leader, the head of a designated terror organization and a confessed […]
“Reformist” Sheikh Qaradawi joins jihad chanting at rally in Mauritania
Al-Qaradawi has been praised by establishment dhimmi Islamic scholar John Esposito as a champion of a “reformist interpretation of Islam and its relationship to democracy, pluralism and human rights.” “Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi Joins Crowds in Jihad Chants at Rally in Mauritania,” from MEMRI, November 10 (thanks to all who sent this in): Following are excerpts […]
Islamic reformer dies; was exiled and threatened with death for saying Qur’an had human element
Here is a small object lesson in why there are plenty of disingenuous Islamic supremacists masquerading as modernists and reformers (cf. Reza Aslan), but so few actual reformers. Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd tried to develop a “humanistic hermeneutics” of Islam, and for his pains was hounded, exiled, barred from countries, charged with insulting Islam, and […]
Jihadist cleric Al-Awlaki lunched at Pentagon after 9/11
And if you had questioned the wisdom of inviting him, you would be an “Islamophobe.” I’ve often pointed out that the U.S. Government behaves as if any Muslim who is not actively engaged in lighting a fuse is ipso facto a “moderate.” This demonstrates the disastrous short-sightedness of their analysis. “EXCLUSIVE: Al Qaeda Leader Dined […]
Lebanese journalist: Ground Zero mosque imam Rauf is a false moderate who is deceiving Americans
Joseph Bishara must be some kind of Islamophobe! Because everyone knows that only greasy Islamophobes would dare to question Rauf’s moderate bona fides. “Lebanese Liberal: Cordoba Initiative Chairman Abdul Rauf Is Not Truly Moderate,” from MEMRI, October 15 (thanks to Pamela Geller, who has more damning statements from Rauf linked here). In a September 19, […]
