Pastor Ed Stetzer arrogantly takes it upon himself to declare that “this is not really about burkinis,” ignoring the fact that France has collectively faced the trauma of deadly, unprecedented jihad attacks that shook its citizens, so that when the burkini was sported on beaches, they were rightly taken as an assertion of Islamic supremacism, […]
Canadian Human Rights Commission advertises Islam as a religion of peace and justice
The Canadian Human Rights Commission sponsored a webinar entitled “Building Bridges Between Cultures,” promoting Islam as a religion of peace and justice that shares values with other major faiths. But given the sizeable problem the globe is experiencing with political Islam, the first question one might ask is, why is this ignored? The second question […]
Germany: If you ban burqa, you have to ban Santa Claus outfit, too
To think that Ralf Jäger — despite his bad reputation over the New Year’s Eve sex assaults and the chaos happening in Germany due to the migrant crisis — would shamelessly continue to partake in the erosion of Germany’s civilized culture by defending the burqa and putting it on par with a Santa Claus outfit. […]
Christian theologian: “Radical Bible groups” are “much bigger problem than Islamists”
Harald Lamprecht is right. You remember that radical Christian who shot all those children at a McDonald’s in Munich yesterday. And that radical Christian who killed all those people by driving a truck through a crowd in Nice. And that radical Christian who murdered all those nightclubbers in Orlando. And those radical Christians who murdered […]
The error of blaming right-wing extremism as much as Islamic jihad
The head of France’s intelligence agency, Patrick Calvar, is urging his government to begin surveillance of “far-right” organisations, warning “the country could be on the verge of civil war thanks to public unrest over the handling of Islamic terrorism.” The “handling” of terrorism by leftists is the most critical key here, along with the protection of […]
Flashback: Hillary says “police violence” as big a threat as the Islamic State
Yeah, you remember when the police made all those beheading videos, and burned that pilot alive, and murdered all those Christians, and took all those sex slaves, and boasted of their imminent conquest and the enslavement of the conquered people… “Flashback: Hillary Clinton Says ‘Police Violence’ Is As Big A Threat As ISIS, ‘Can Feel […]
Made in Our Image: The Allure of ‘Moderate Muslims’
One of the greatest problems with the much cherished “moderate/radical” Muslim dichotomy is that it’s entirely based on Western assumptions that have nothing to do with the realities of Islam. This came out in a study published in Arabic (my recent translation here): Islamic researchers are agreed that what the West and its followers […]
DHS Secretary: “Right-wingers” pose same threat as Islamic jihadists
This is not true by any measure. The much-publicized “study” from last summer that purported to show that “right-wing extremists” were more of a domestic threat than Islamic jihadists has been exploded even on its own skewed terms by the Orlando jihad massacre: it was based on the claim that right-wingers had killed more people […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Pope Francis: Islam and Christianity Share “the Idea of Conquest”
Pope Francis continues to astonish. He has just said, in an interview with the French Catholic paper La Croix, that “the idea of conquest is inherent to the soul of Islam.” As far as his understanding of Islam goes, this is a marked improvement over his disturbing statement, back in November 2013, that the “Koran […]
Pope Francis: ‘Idea of conquest is inherent to the soul of Islam,’ but says one can see Christianity that way, too
A few years ago the Pope wrote that Islam and the Qur’an rejected all forms of violence. Now he is contradicting himself. “The Pope went on, however, to acknowledge that the ‘idea of conquest is inherent to the soul of Islam,’ while immediately adding that ‘one could also interpret the end of Saint Matthew’s gospel, […]
