Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Ramadan 2018 Death Toll So Far: 532
The actual title of this piece at PJ Media is “Ramadan 2018 Death Toll So Far: 355.” That’s because there have been 177 more jihad murders in just the several days since I wrote it. As of the eighteenth day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan this year, the jihad death toll is 355 […]
Iftar 2018: Get Me Rewrite
For some reason Donald Trump thought he should hold an Iftar dinner this year. He didn’t hold one last year, and contrary to some predictions at the time, the sky did not fall.

Trump, at White House Iftar, hails Ramadan’s “timeless message of peace, clarity, and love”
“Clarity,” really? Not “charity”? The White House website says “clarity,” so that’s that.

Ramadan in Bethlehem video: Priest apparently stabbed after giving refuge to female tourists being harassed by men
Nothing that a bit of “dialogue” won’t cure.

Ramadan in Germany: Muslims kick, punch Jews, say “If I see you again, I’ll slit your throat, you [expletive] Jew”
The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to […]
Ramadan in Afghanistan: Muslim murders eight near gathering of Muslim clerics calling for peace
Reuters says: “A series of bombings in Kabul has killed dozens of people in recent months and shown no sign of easing during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.” There is no reason why it would ease during Ramadan.
