About Newsweek’s surrender to the global jihad, see here and here. And this one by Fareed Zakaria in March 2009 really takes the cake. So it isn’t surprising that Zakaria and Newsweek would now come out for the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero. “Build the Ground Zero Mosque: I believe we should promote Muslim […]
Fitzgerald: Just one question for the New York Times

Turkish columnist says that “liberal Muslim” Mustafa Akyol is actually an Islamic supremacist working for restoration of caliphate
Recently I had an interesting exchange with the self-described “liberal Muslim” Mustafa Akyol, after he declared his support for the jihad flotilla that Turkey sent against Israel. And so I read this piece by the Turkish columnist Burak Bekdil with great interest: he characterizes the “liberal” Akyol as a pro-Sharia, pro-Erdogan Islamic supremacist. But undoubtedly […]
Ibn Warraq: “It’s no good pretending that somehow the real Islam is tolerant, the real Islam is feminist, and so on”

In Human Events this morning I discuss the implications of the massive outpouring of grief among Detroit Shi’ite Muslims for the jihad terrorist cleric Ayatollah Fadlallah: Shi’ite Muslims in Detroit were in mourning last week for the Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, a world-renowned Lebanese cleric who died on July 4.

Detroit: Thousands mourn designated terrorist Hizballah cleric
In the words of his admirer, the Islamochristian and former CNN Mideast editor Octavia Nasr, Fadlallah “hated with a vengeance the United States government and Israel,” “regularly praised the terror attacks that killed Israeli citizens,” was a Holocaust denier, and was “designated a terrorist by the U.S. Treasury Department.” The mainstream media constantly demands of […]
“Moderate” Palestinian top dog Abbas to Arab states: “If you want war, and if all of you will fight Israel, we are in favor”
This is the “moderate” whose faction is being aided financially and militarily by the State Department. And deep down, Abbas really, really wants peace! “Palestinian leader calls for Arab invasion of Israel,” from Israel Today, July 8 (thanks to all who sent this in): Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, branded a “moderate” by the international community, […]

Flotilla Fraud Fallout: Another moderate Muslim joins the jihad — Mustafa Akyol
Over the years I have seen it happen more than once: a plausible “moderate Muslim” appears on the scene and becomes the darling of hopeful non-Muslims who believe that he epitomizes the peaceful, reasonable face of Islam upon which they have placed so much hope (and based so much policy). His non-Muslim patrons loudly sing […]
