No doubt the Queensland University of Technology is upset about the prospect of all those enraged Christians rioting, burning tires and Alex Stewart in effigy, chanting “Death to Australia,” and all the rest — no, wait… Moral Equivalence Alert: “Australian lawyer smokes pages of Bible and Koran, asking ‘Which is best?,’” from the Telegraph, September […]
“Rauf compared the current struggles facing American Muslims to past religious-based prejudices and attacks against…Jews and Roman Catholic immigrants”
You remember all those Jewish and Catholic terror attacks. “New York imam: Politics behind mosque opposition,” by Brian Murphy for Associated Press, August 29 (thanks to all who sent this in): DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The imam spearheading a proposed Islamic center near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York […]
Why won’t the Left defend Christians as fiercely as it defends Muslims?
In “Why Won’t the Left Defend Christians As Fiercely As It Defends Muslims?,” Andrea Tantaros at FoxNews.com (August 6) zeroes in on fashionable moral equivalence: The battle over the proposed mosque and community center near Ground Zero has sparked outrage and fury. The argument from those who oppose it: it’s an incredibly insensitive move designed […]
MSU spokeswoman: Muslim supporters of jihad “did not cite Quranic verses or Islamic teachings in their support of such terrorist acts”
And there are other lies from Hussam Ayloush of CAIR’s Greater Los Angeles office, one of the more arrogant and obnoxious CAIR spokesmen — and among that unsavory bunch, that is quite a distinction. “Islam: Dispelling the myths,” from the Great Falls Tribune, June 27: Part of Islamic teachings is mutual respect and acceptance, according […]
Noam Chomsky: U.S. more “fundamentalist” than Saudi Arabia or the Taliban
That’s why you see so many stonings and beheadings here, you see. Moral equivalence on steroids from an intelligent man apparently completely lacking a moral compass (hence his support for the Palestinian jihad), who insists on engaging in utterly witless and ideology-driven moral equivalence: “American Linguist Noam Chomsky to Iranian TV: The US More Fundamentalist […]
Penn and Teller get scared, show that terrorism works
(Actually Teller is not involved in this, but I couldn’t resist playing on their bit “Penn and Tiller get killed.”) Penn Jillette, the famous debunker, won’t say anything about Islam, because he is afraid that if he does, he will get killed. Then he has the breathtaking audacity or lack of self-reflection to try to […]
Spencer: PBS: More Christian Terrorists Than Muslim Terrorists
In Human Events this morning I frown at PBS’s Tavis Smiley: PBS’s Tavis Smiley recently claimed that “every single day in this country” Christians commit terrorist acts. Interviewing the heroic ex-Muslim freedom fighter Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Smiley repeated common leftist dogmas about how Christian terrorists are more numerous and violent than Muslim terrorists, and have […]
Hades is angered
Wishing a joyous and beautiful Paschal season to all those who are celebrating the Resurrection of Christ on this night. This occasion calls for an exercise in compare-and-contrast (you remember those from school, don’t you?). Let’s take Rosie O’Donnell’s indelible formulation, “Radical Christianity Is Just As Dangerous As Radical Islam,” for a spin. The point […]
Fitzgerald: The Michael Coren Show: “We Are All Homers”
Please take 12 minutes and 45 seconds and watch the two YouTube segments from a show hosted by Michael Coren. Part 1 is above. Part 2, which I will discuss in a future piece, is here. Thank you. Now we can continue. Recently Michael Coren, host of a discussion program on Canadian television, had on […]
Radical Christian underwear bomber!
Here’s one for Ralph and Dinesh now, given new relevance by the Flight 253 underwear jihadist. (Thanks to Weasel Zippers.)
