After all, nothing says “Religion of Peace and Tolerance” like claiming someone else’s sacred ground as a spoil of war and sticking a mosque on it. It is intended as a permanent exercise in supremacist gloating. This act would only uphold a long tradition of building mosques on sacred sites seized in Islamic conquests, just […]

Misunderstander of Islam who bombed London on July 7, 2005 was active in local mosque and dawah efforts
And yet no one in the mosque seems to have stopped him and told him that his understanding of the Religion of Peaceâ„¢ was all wrong, wrong, wrong. “7/7 inquests: gang ringleader tried to convert schoolboy to Islam,” by Duncan Gardham in the Telegraph, February 14: The leader of the July 7 bombers tried to […]
Dearborn: Convert to Islam in attempted mosque bombing called himself a mujahid
A jihadist, that is. Now gone, but not forgotten, are the many statements Muslims and Islamic groups issued at the outset of this case blaming criticism of Islam for Stockham’s attempted attack.

Shocker: Afghan jihadists using mosques to launch attacks with the help of imams
Wait for the outrage. Any minute now… Okay, how about now? No? No, as always, the outrage will continue to be reserved for cartoons, Christian women accused of insulting Muhammad after refusing to convert to Islam, and a Pope accused of “attacking” the entire Ummah at once (like some kind of Bavarian, octogenarian Chuck Norris?)

Embarrassed by his statements, Ground Zero Mosque organizers distance themselves from their new imam
They just finished distancing themselves from Rauf after he was exposed as anything but “moderate.” That’s why they brought in Adhami in the first place.
