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 […]
Why Was This Muslim Mayor Barred From Biden’s Big Muslim Shindig?
New in PJ Media: Old Joe Biden held a big party for Muslims at the White House Monday, and he went heavy on the pandering, claiming that “Muslims have been part of the United States from the very start.” But conspicuously not playing a part in this lovefest was Mohamed Khairullah, the mayor of Prospect Park, N.J., who complained […]
UK: Muslim police officer once hailed as role model used cadet program as ‘playground’ for sexual abuse of boys
Assistant Chief Constable Colin McFarlane admitted that “not enough was done” to “supervise and oversee him.” And why not? No one seems to be asking that question. The answer is that to have supervised and overseen him would have been “Islamophobic.” The Greater Manchester Police were so avid to have a Muslim officer, and a […]
Netherlands: ‘Salafist police’ target and threaten Westernized Muslims
Here is one reason why we don’t see more genuine Muslim reformers. “‘Salafist Police’ Targeting Westernized European Muslims,” by Abigail R. Esman, IPT News, April 25, 2023: Some call them the Salafist police….they are terrorizing other Muslims in the Netherlands, radicalizing Muslim youth, and working to undermine the secular democratic system – not just in […]
Sweden: Muslim ‘Young Role Model of the Year’ is sentenced for throwing stones at police
Was Hani Bilal Madi practicing Muhammad’s adage of “war is deceit” when he insisted that his involvement in the Qur’an riots was only to “prevent more serious crime”? Were non-Muslim authorities so anxious to find a Muslim role model who appeared to be “moderate” that they didn’t investigate Hani Bilal Madi as thoroughly as they […]
Canada: Muslim cleric denounces term ‘radical Islam,’ says only ‘enemies of Islam, or those who are ignorant’ use it
Many, many people use this term and take it for granted, including a large number of people who should know better and some who do know better. It was invented, like other terms, in order to distance Islam from the crimes that are routinely committed in its name and in accord with its teachings. It […]
France: Muslim who entered mosque of moderate imam with knife is deported
I’m very glad that the French authorities are so anxious to protect the moderate imam Hassen Chalgoumi. But only 0.2% of Algerians who are set for deportation are ever actually deported. It would be refreshing if French authorities were as anxious to protect non-Muslim French people as they are to protect Hassen Chalgoumi. “The man […]
New Mexico: Sunni Muslim suspected of murdering Shi’ites is well-known in Muslim community
Here again we see it: Muhammad Syed was moderate until he started killing people. He was an ordinary Muslim who became an “Islamist” when he opened fire. And while the community is shocked, no one will explain, or be asked to explain, why the Sunni-Shi’ite animus could move someone to kill. To search for the […]
