The tyranny of the minority: elimination of holidays “just an excuse to hide bias against Muslims”
Faced with a school board that decided against giving all students in Hillsborough County, Florida holidays for Yom Kippur, Good Friday or Eid ul-Fitr, Ahmed Bedier, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, unsurprisingly concluded that this was of course “just an excuse to hide bias against the Muslims.” (This is from “Schools Scrap Religious […]
Hizb ut-Tahrir comes calling
British MP Harriet Harman got quite the surprise last week when members of Hizb ut-Tahrir came for a visit, taking advantage of Harman’s open-door office policy.

Holland struggles with Muslim immigration
The conflict between secular European societies and their Muslim immigrant populations was once a niche story, relegated to smaller publications who were unafraid to touch on “racial” or “religious” issues.

Pipes: Europe Under Siege
Daniel Pipes ably traces Europe’s ongoing descent into Eurabia in FrontPage: Two recent stories dramatically illustrate Europe’s looming immigration problem.

“7 Danger Signs of Militant Islam”
The United American Committee asked me to supply them with some signs that any given Muslim spokesman may be a sympathizer with the global jihad and/or its overall goal of establishing Sharia. I gave them these seven as a preliminary list, although they have been slightly modified — I would add “by name” to number […]
Norway: Teacher told to drop Star of David
Because it might offend Muslims, of course. Interesting to note that Aftenposten lists as a “related story” one with the headline “No plans to ban hijab in Norwegian schools.” Apparently the hijab offends no one. From Aftenposten, with thanks to all who sent this in: A municipally employed teacher in Kristiansand has been prevented from […]

British mull discarding flag to avoid offending Muslims
One of the reasons why I wrote The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) was to try to counteract the overwhelming assumption that Westerners must be ashamed of our culture and history. This article indicates how widely prevailing that view really is — and how anxious the British are to capitulate to Islam […]
When the Landlord Is Muslim
A real estate sale in Washington conducted in accord with Sharia. As the Muslim presence in the West grows, it is likely that this will become increasingly common, and calls for it as a matter of human rights will increase — calls with important implications for the prevalence of other Sharia provisions in the West.
