I recently participated in a FrontPage Symposium, “The World’s Most Wanted: A ‘Moderate Islam,’” about that great unicorn in which everyone believes and depends upon but which no one has ever actually seen, moderate Islam. In this special edition of Frontpage Symposium, we have invited four distinguished guests to discuss the question: Is there a […]
Muslim rock-and-roller gets death threats, charges of being “un-Islamic”
Why don’t we see more genuine Muslim reformers? Because they’re taking their lives into their hands if they stand up to the jihadists. I don’t know where Salam Ahmad really stands on issues of jihad and Islamic supremacism, but on the side of his being an authentic opponent of the guardians of Islamic purity are […]
Hamid Mir, “moderate” top Pakistani TV anchor, caught aiding Taliban jihadists
Many non-Muslims in Europe and America have been taken in by Hamid Mir, a self-professed “moderate.” I was on to him years ago. So was Pamela Geller. We were both lectured self-righteously about how we had to support “moderates.” And now here we are. I hate to say “I told you so,” but I don’t […]
A brief debate with Tarek Fatah
The slick and self-proclaimed moderate Muslim Tarek Fatah recently attacked the great and courageous ex-Muslim Wafa Sultan, thereby exposing himself as an enemy of those who are truly interested in defending human rights against the global jihad and Islamic supremacism. And now in an exchange with my friend Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi, an Iraqi who writes […]
Should Tariq Ramadan have been allowed to enter the U.S.?
Chicago Tribune reporter Manya Brachear has kindly written to me to alert me to this article. In her email to me she invited Jihad Watch readers to comment at her Tribune blog on this story, so have at it. Note her identification of Tariq Ramadan as a “religious scholar” in her parting question below. “Chicago […]
U.S.-backed Afghan President Karzai threatens to join Taliban
Now wait a minute: isn’t Karzai a modern moderate Muslim who abhors the Taliban’s extremism and twisting and hijacking of the peaceful religion of Islam? “Lawmakers: Afghan leader threatens to join Taliban,” by Amir Shah and Christopher Bodeen for AP, April 5 (thanks to Weasel Zippers): KABUL (AP) – Afghan President Hamid Karzai threatened over […]
UK’s main Muslim TV channel: Wives must not refuse sex with spouse
No one should be surprised that the Islam Channel said this. They were just being true to the teachings of Muhammad, who said: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning” (Bukhari […]
They had a birthday cake ready for him. In gratitude, he murdered them.
Here yet again is more evidence of what we have pointed out many times over the years: that there is no reliable way to distinguish between Islamic “extremists” and Islamic “moderates.” These CIA officers, having been improperly trained in the nature of the enemy ideology and belief-system and filled with PC nonsense about the Religion […]
Fitzgerald: The Michael Coren Show: “Just As the Tamil Tigers Don’t Define All of the Sri Lankans” (Part III)
We are now ready to complete our joint viewing of The Michael Coren show. Please take the time, once again, to watch both segments above. My previous discussion of these segments is here and here. It’s back to Michael Coren, talking now to Steve Gilchrist right there in the studio. Gilchrist is a center-right politician, […]
Why we don’t see more Islamic reformers: Pro-Sharia group sues Muslim reform group over its use of the word “Islam” in its name
Sisters In Islam angered Sharia supremacists by opposing the caning of women for drinking alcohol, polygamy, and child marriage, and so a Muslim group is suing it to stop it from using the word “Islam” in its name. Apparently caning, polygamy and child marriage are so much a part of Islam in the view of […]
