Who would have thought that the legendary Libyan “strongman” would turn out to be a Misunderstander of Islam? Why is it that those who understand Islam correctly as a Religion of Peace seem to inhabit only Western university posts, not leadership positions in the governments of Muslim countries? “Kadhafi calls for jihad against Switzerland over […]
Obama sends Gitmo inmate to Switzerland
In case the jihad in Switzerland needs a boost. After all, more and more inmates from Gitmo are returning to the jihad — and what was done there in any case to prevent that eventuality? Nothing whatsoever. “U.S. sends Uzbek from Guantanamo prison to Switzerland,” from Reuters, January 26 (thanks to Maxwell): WASHINGTON (Reuters) – […]
Swiss minaret vote “was quite simply a reaction to the ever more shrill demands of Europe’s Islamic leaders for special rights and special treatment”
On December 24, the Arab American News published a piece called “Minaret ban indicates evolving fascism” by Ali Moossavi, in which Moossavi, with a Charles-Johnsonish flair for defamation, characterized those concerned about the Islamization of Europe as neofascists. Predictably, Moossavi paid no attention to the fact that there is no similar reaction in Europe against […]
Fitzgerald: Azzam al-Tamimi and the Zionist neo-Nazis
The well-known Hamas propagandist, the “Palestinian” Arab Azzam al-Tamimi, has recently denounced the Swiss for their vote, one overwhelming in favor of banning minarets, on a program beamed out by Al-Jazeeera. Azzam al-Tamimi is quite a figure in London, where he used to be — just a few years ago — a respected commentator on […]
Christmas in Eurabia
From Switzerland comes this contemporary political statement that is also an intimation of future Eurabian Christmases (thanks to Islam In Europe).
Turks, irked by Swiss minaret decision, threaten to kill priest
That’ll show us. And of course, for many, it will. There are so many cowards in the West, who would rather give up all their principles than suffer any inconvenience or face any threat. “Turks Threaten to Kill Priest over Swiss Minaret Decision,” from Compass Direct News, December 15 (thanks to all who sent this […]
Professor of Islamic history affirms that minarets can be assertions of political power and supremacy
When the Swiss minaret ban first broke, I noted that minarets were often expressions of Islamic political dominance. Many dismissed this as an “Islamophobic” idea. But now it has been affirmed by Tarek Kahlaoui, assistant professor of Islamic art history and history at Rutgers University — no doubt a dyed-in-the-wool “Islamophobe.” To be sure, Kahlaoui […]
Hypocrisy: Saudi Arabia, the country that won’t allow churches or synagogues, calls for boycott of Switzerland over minaret ban
That is, it is hypocrisy from a Western point of view. As far as the Saudis are concerned, Islam is the truth, its truth is self-evident, and therefore the Swiss are obligated to accommodate it in a way that the Saudis are not obligated to accommodate non-Muslim religious observance. “Saudi Arabia calls to boycott Swiss […]
Scholars from a country that doesn’t allow churches or synagogues slam Swiss minaret ban
Hypocrisy. That is, it is hypocrisy from a Western point of view. As far as these “scholars” are concerned, Islam is the truth, its truth is self-evident, and therefore the Swiss are obligated to accommodate it in a way that the Saudis are not obligated to accommodate non-Muslim religious observance. “Saudi scholars slam Swiss minaret […]
Gaddafi: Swiss minaret ban invites al-Qaeda attacks
Therein lies the assumption that all acts of jihadist terrorism must be a response to some kind of provocation (real or imagined) from non-Muslims: after all, the apologists keep telling us “defensive” jihad is quite alright, caliph or no caliph. The Fraggle-haired dictator also quips “I don’t think anyone in the Muslim world will from […]
