Hallowed places of worship. “Gunmen perched on mosque open fire as Marawi burns,” by Ron Gagalac, ABS-CBN News, August 10, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): MANILA – Terrorist snipers were captured on camera firing at state troops from atop a mosque in Marawi City Thursday, boosting reports that the extremists have been using […]
Muslims enraged that Trump still hasn’t condemned Minnesota mosque bombing
Their outrage is likely feigned. They more likely thrilled than outraged: thrilled that Trump’s silence is enabling them to push their bogus narrative that Muslims are the victims of widespread persecution and harassment in the U.S., and that authorities stand by indifferently (or worse), when in reality they are as unctuously solicitous of the Muslim […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The California ‘Annihilate Jews’ Imam Was Simply Quoting Muhammad
Stop presuming U.S. mosques teach U.S. values. My latest in PJ Media: A recent controversy in California shows the perils of assuming, as nearly everyone does, that mosques in the West teach peace and tolerance, and that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are moderate and loyal members of secular societies. On July 21, the imam […]
New Jersey: Court forbids residents to mention “Islam” or “Muslim” at public hearing on mosque construction
Most Americans have no idea how severely imperiled the freedom of speech really is. I discuss in detail in my new book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies). But as this fundamental freedom slips away, most people don’t even care. Look: Kardashians! “Court: Residents Can’t Mention ‘Islam’ or ‘Muslim’ At Public […]
Another imam in California prays for Allah to destroy the Jews
The prayer that Allah destroy the Jews is not expressing a desire for the divine judgment. The Qur’an tells Muslims: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands…” (9:14). So when Mahmoud Harmoush prays that Allah destroy the Jews, it is the Muslims who are the deity’s tools for accomplishing this. Why isn’t the […]
California mosque defends imam who prayed that Allah would “annihilate” Jews
The Islamic Center of Davis, California, has defended Imam Ammar Shahin over a sermon last Friday in which he quoted an antisemitic text and prayed for Allah to “annihilate” Jews “down to the very last one.” Just imagine the scandal if a Christian pastor had preached such a hateful sermon calling for the annihilation of […]
Montreal: Arrest warrant issued for Muslim cleric for quoting Muhammad
Muhammad bin Musa Al Nasr preached: “O Muslim, O servant of Allah, O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.” That is why the arrest warrant has been issued. But this is a quotation that is attributed to Muhammad: “Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger said, ‘The Hour […]
Imam calls for stoning and killing Jews, aide says remarks “taken out of context,” imam laughs
Imagine how the imams laugh after assuring reporters that they never saw the Muslim who just committed the latest jihad attack, and when Jewish and Christian leaders invite them to address their congregations to clear up “misconceptions” about Islam. “Berlin mayor rebuked over Imam’s call to kill Jews and stone women,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem […]
Tennessee mosque hit with bacon and graffiti reading “We are vandal group”
“We are vandal group”? It’s just a hunch, but I strongly suspect that this is yet another in the long line of “anti-Muslim hate crimes” that turn out to have been faked by Muslims themselves. “We are vandal group” sounds like something written by someone whose first language is not English, which in turn gives […]
Kashmir jihad incited from mosques and Islamic schools
The West continues to assume that mosques are entirely and in every instance benign institutions that teach peace and brotherhood. This is, at best, an unfounded assumption. “Here’s how schools of faith, mobiles are radicalising Kashmir,” by Aarti Tikoo Singh, TNN, July 9, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann): Last month, in a south Kashmir mosque, a […]
