I don’t actually have any problem with Muslims or anyone else taking time out of the school day for prayer. There is certainly enough nonsense and wasted time in the average public school day to justify any amount of time away, as far as I’m concerned. What concerns me here is that I seem to […]
Fox News on Malmo, Sweden
Ali Dashti has been kindly supplying us with information about the situation in Sweden for some time. Now the larger — if not mainstream — media is catching on. From a FoxNews commentary: Now in Malmo, Sweden, a city where a quarter of the population is Muslim, there are some parts of the city where […]
French Islamization update
How rapidly is France being Islamized? Consider this piece from IslamOnline (thanks to Twostellas). “All areas around the mosque are inhabited by Muslims of Arab and African origin.” With police protection, their own guards, and a majority of the area population, there is no reason why they shouldn’t “feel safe.” But this is not just […]
Can It Happen Here? Sweden’s “Hate Speech” Laws Hateful–And Unequally Enforced
Political correctness and dhimmitude in Sweden. From Jared Taylor at VDare, with thanks to Mea: Sweden’s anti-hate speech laws have run amok, leading to a very worrying series of convictions–and non-convictions. More categories of people are entering the ranks of the “protected classes”–and recent cases have made it clear that these laws will not be […]
100 percent immigrants at Danish school
How quickly is Europe being Islamized? Well, even Bernard Lewis, who has up to now been unfortunately reticent about what is happening in Europe (and a lot of other key matters too), recently admitted in Die Welt, a German paper, that “Europa wird am Ende des Jahrhunderts islamisch sein.” You can probably tell what that […]
Turkey wants to criminalise adultery
I’m not in favor of adultery myself, but to make it a criminal offense is just one more step toward Sharia … in “secular” Turkey, a state that has survived only by making innumerable concessions, large and small, to political Islam over the last few decades. Note that this time the law is designed to […]
UK’s Muslim News: Outlawing of religious incitement long overdue
This Muslim News editorial (thanks to Ali Dashti) retails various threats that Muslims perceive that they face in Britain, and praises Home Secretary David Blunkett’s proposal to outlaw religious hatred. But most telling is the conclusion of the piece, which assumes that assimilation is the enemy: When announcing that the incitement to religious hatred would […]
Maine Hospital Issues Redesigned Gowns for Muslim Women
I am glad that they took action. No one, Muslim or non-Muslim, likes those hospital gowns. But no one was able to get anything done about it until the multiculturalist imperative made it necessary to be sensitive to the perspectives and values of Muslims. The problem with that is that it establishes a pattern of […]
UK: Muslim women will be exempted from ID cards
“Sensitivity” trumps common sense in Dhimmi Britain. From the Committee to Defend Women’s Rights in the Middle East (scroll down), with thanks to cgiddensjr: On Monday, April 26, British Home Secretary, David Blunkett unveiled plans for a national pilot of biometric testing, the technology used in ID cards, as part of a draft Bill to […]
Malaysia: Parents question no ‘non-halal’ food in school order
More moderation for non-Muslims from moderate Muslim Malaysia. Non-Muslims can’t even throw their non-halal food wrappings into the school’s garbage cans. Got to keep them clean, don’t you know. From Malaysiakini, with thanks to Nicolei: Parents are fuming over a letter from a Kuala Lumpur primary school headmaster directing non-Muslim pupils not to bring non-halal […]
