Tim Winter, an Englishman who converted to Islam in 1979, says he knows Islam better than the Taliban and suggests that they themselves admit this: “The word Taliban means students.” He asserts that “there was no scriptural mandate in Islam for face coverings and the Taliban would struggle to find anything in Islamic scripture that […]
Indonesia wants to export ‘moderate Islam’
According to The Economist, Indonesia wants to export “moderate Islam.” This will certainly appeal to the Left-leaning interfaith dialogue proponents of the West in droves, most of whom know nothing about Islam or its history. The Economist says: On Christmas Eve 22 years ago, jihadist terrorists planted bombs at churches in cities across Indonesia, killing […]
Pennsylvania Islamic conference features Muslim cleric who praised Hitler for killing Jews
Dr. Mizanur Rahman Azhari is speaking at the Muslim Ummah of North America conference, along with Omar Suleiman, who enjoys a great deal of mainstream support, as well as Siraj Wahhaj, “who has defended executing gay people and had associations with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind,” and Nihad Awad of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations […]
Philadelphia: Muslim arrested for plotting jihad massacre is apparently son of prominent defense attorney
Here again we see that the line between “moderates” and “extremists” in the Islamic community can be exceedingly fine. Qawi Abdul-Rahman has no doubt been assumed to be a “moderate,” and no one would ever dare ask him any question that might illuminate the matter, as to do so would be “Islamophobic.” “Teen Terror Suspect […]
France: Muslims demonstrate in support of imam deported for advocating ‘armed jihad’ against Jews and Christians
No one should be surprised by this, although French authorities undoubtedly are. They assume that most Muslims in France are “moderate.” They have no idea that the Qur’an contains passages such as this: “Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have […]

Turkey ‘could move towards a radical Islamization like Iran’
Well, of course. I’ve been warning about Erdogan’s neo-Ottoman aspirations for years. In February 2018, he declared his desire to reconquer the lands the Ottoman caliphate once ruled: “Those who think that we have erased from our hearts the lands from which we withdrew in tears a hundred years ago are wrong. We say at every […]
Sweden: Muslim migrant previously hailed as ‘democracy ambassador’ threatens to kill anti-mass migration politician
Militant Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution. “Democracy ambassador threatened to kill AFS party leader – charged,” translated from “Demokratiambassadör mordhotade AFS partiledare – åtalas,” Fria Tider, May 29, 2023: An immigrant who has previously been hailed as a “democracy ambassador” in SVT threatened to kill Alternative for Sweden’s party leader Gustav […]
Tariq Ramadan and the Women Who Have Accused Him
Now that Tariq Ramadan, that “towering intellect” who is “one of the seven most important religious innovators of the 21st century,” will soon complete his first trial in Geneva, there are many more such trials to come. There are still four women in that city whom he is charged with sexually assaulting when they were […]
Tariq Ramadan on Trial in Geneva
Tariq Ramadan is now living in a world of woe. Once a professor of Islamic studies at Oxford, described by TIME Magazine as a “towering intellect,” he has ever since 2017 been subject to charges of particularly violent rape by four women in France, a Swiss woman in Geneva, and, in a separate case, four […]
