“Both men became radicalized after listening to a Batam-based religious radio station called Radio Hang. The station, which claims a following in Johor Baru and Singapore, sometimes features speakers who preach extreme religious views.” Why was the peaceful, benign Islam that Rosli Hamzah and Mohamed Omar Mahadi presumably learned in their mosque in Singapore not […]
UK: Hijabbed Muslima worries that “people will start to look at me in a funny way”
When the jihad terror attacks took place in Paris and Brussels, Ida S. Suandi-Al Shara began to ask herself “if I or we can live safely” in London. Why? Because armed bands of non-Muslims are menacing innocent Muslims? No, that’s not happening. Or because Muslims have been barred from holding certain jobs or entering certain […]
Singapore deports 26 Muslims who supported the Islamic State, studied assassination techniques, recruited in mosque
This AFP story says they were actively recruiting members, but doesn’t say where. Why not? This Channel News Asia story says they were “meeting on a regular basis at a mosque.” Our moral superiors constantly remind us that jihad terror has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, but oddly enough, those who plot it often […]
“Tens of thousands” of Muslims in Southeast Asia support the Islamic State
What accounts for this extensive outbreak of misunderstanding of Islam? The significant support that the Islamic State enjoys in Southeast Asia demonstrates the falsity and fatuity of the mainstream Western narrative regarding Islam and jihad. “The terrifying rise of ISIS in East: Terror horde recruits tens of thousands to its sick cause in south-east Asia,” […]
Singapore: Photo of pork with “halal” label has “serious religious implications,” reported to police
Imagine how grim and humorless someone would have to be to report something like this to the police. “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. […]
Singapore: Muslim marriage courses misunderstand Islam, teach wife-beating
Muslim marriage courses come under fire for teaching standard Islamic doctrine regarding the treatment of women. The kuffar, of course, have been buying soothing nonsense from Islamic apologists for so long that they’re shocked when the ugly truth actually peeks out. “Singapore’s Muslim marriage courses under fire,” by Tiddy Smith for BikyaMasr, November 4 (thanks […]
Malaysian Muslim thought police ban Lee Kwan Yew’s book that suggests that Muslims should be ‘less strict’
Lee Kwan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore, should know a thing or three about Islam — he’s been living in very close proximity with Islam and its votaries for almost his entire life. Modern Singapore exists as a wealthy, advanced non-Muslim city state surrounded on all sides by a virtual sea of Islam. Singapore […]
Wikileaks: Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew makes freudian slip about Islam
Lee Kuan Yew, for those who may be unaware, is the man who can be largely credited for creating the economic tiger and success story that is modern-day Singapore, an island city-state in Southeast Asia. Assuming this particular revelation from Wikileaks is accurate, it would make a great deal of sense for Lee to know […]
Singapore’s venture into Islamic banking failing, but they’re going to keep trying
We have previously thought that Islamic banking — that is, the accommodation of Western banking practices to Islamic legal requirements — was being pursued by non-Muslim financial institutions out of a desire for economic gain. But in this story, DBS Group is still determined to make a go of Islamic banking, despite losses. Of course, […]
Singapore: McDonald’s apologizes for leaving pig out of Chinese zodiac collection to avoid offending Muslims
Their first impulse was dhimmitude — even at the expense of making a travesty of a Chinese tradition. After all, as offended as they may have been by this, the Chinese in Singapore were much less likely than the Muslims to start blowing things up and killing innocent people. “McDonald’s says sorry,” from Reuters, January […]
