This reminded me of a story from last September about an Arkansas Gun Range banning Muslims. No doubt there are others making the same decision. Hallinan’s story is especially important because of his explicit citation of federal law to back up his position. By banning the sale of guns to Muslims who interpret the Koran literally, […]
New York Times: Mosque of Chattanooga jihad killer braces for backlash
Ihsan Bagby, an associate professor of Islamic studies at the University of Kentucky, spoke of “the shock that there’s a kid who seems to grow up in the shadow of the Muslim community and yet chooses a path of extremism and violence that nobody taught them in the community. It’s a betrayal of the community.” […]
Chattanooga jihad murderer attended Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga
Said Dr. Azhar S. Sheikh, a founding member of the center’s board: “We certainly do not want to be part of that demented ideology. That is not the message we preach here. What people do on the Internet or the World Wide Web or in their own homes, we can’t control that.” But why did […]
UK: Former mosque chairman linked to DVD glorifying suicide bombing
The Qur’an guarantees Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111). The British political elites will never, ever admit that much of what they consider to be “extremist,” and that they assume most Muslims in Britain reject, is actually established doctrine of mainstream Islam that Muslims reject only at risk of being […]
Tunisia: Police find weapons in 40 mosques
Apparently mosque leaders didn’t think it incompatible with the teachings of their religion to store weapons in a mosque in not one, not two, not five, not ten, but forty mosques in Tunisia. If weapons had been found in forty churches, it would be international news. This, however, will pass by without notice from those […]

Why we don’t see more genuine Islamic reformers. “Bombs at Mosque, Restaurant in Central Nigerian City Kill 44,” by Ahmed Mohammed, Associated Press, July 6, 2015: Two bombs blamed on the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram exploded at a crowded mosque and an elite Muslim restaurant in Nigeria’s central city of Jos, killing 44 people, […]
France has deported 40 imams for hate speech
In the U.S., even raising the possibility that mosques might be teaching hatred and sedition is enough to get you charges of “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” No U.S. official and no one in the mainstream media will even consider the possibility. In fact, so entrenched is the assumption that the mosques in the U.S. are bastions […]
Tunisia plans to close 80 mosques for inciting violence after hotel jihad attack
Tunisia’s government can recognize that preaching in mosques can incite violence. The government of the United States cannot. To do so would be “Islamophobic.” “Tunisia government says to close 80 mosques for inciting violence, after hotel attack,” Reuters, June 26, 2015: TUNIS (Reuters) – Tunisia plans within a week to close down 80 mosques that […]
Ramadan in Nigeria: Female jihad suicide bomber murders 30 at crowded mosque that wasn’t Islamic enough
“A military bomb disposal expert has told the AP that most bombs carried by girls and women have remote detonation devices, meaning the carrier cannot control the explosion.” It is likely that the jihadis used these girls as human bombs. Why would Boko Haram target a mosque? Most likely because Boko Haram has declared its […]
Alabama: Imam who said property of “filthy” non-Muslims could be taken in jihad says mosques not to blame for Muslims joining ISIS
It’s in this audio recording of one of Qadhi’s lectures. Note also his words about jihad, quoting Muhammad: “I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify la illaha illa Allah [there is no god but Allah].” And Qadhi says: “The life and property of a mushrik [one who worships others besides Allah] […]
