Nobel Peace Prize winner: let’s not “muddle up” terrorism with Islam
“Nobel Peace Prize winner Wided Bouchamaoui urged people everywhere on Thursday not to “muddle up” terrorism with Islam…… Muslims who practice their faith calmly and respectfully are “victims of a semantic problem” when “terrorists” are described as “Islamic terrorists.” Bouchamaoui goes on to say that “we should call a spade a spade” by stating that “a terrorist […]
Nice jihad mass murderer has three family members who are jihadis
“Mohamed wasn’t religious.” But he got religion in the end, enough to scream “Allahu akbar” while murdering Infidels.

Tunisian Imam: Homosexuals should be stoned to death
Notice that he says that this is the ruling of all the schools of Sharia. His words, “This is the verdict of all the Sunni ulema,” are for some reason left out of the MEMRI translation, but I have put them back in, as he did say them, and it is an important point. The […]

“It is the third major attack to strike Tunisia this year after a militant killed 38 foreigners at a beach hotel in June and gunmen killed 21 tourists at the Bardo Museum in Tunis in March.

In central Tunisia, birthplace of Arab Spring now jihad hotbed
This is no surprise to the few who identified the Arab Spring from the beginning as an attempted Islamic supremacist takeover. We were derided at the time for our pessimism, as mainstream analysts hailed the dawn of democracy in the Middle East. At that time on Fox, Juan Williams responded that I was “fearmongering” when […]
Tunisian author: Democratizing Muslim countries means leaving Islam
Can a writer in a Muslim country point this out, or will he be accused of “Islamophobia”? “Democratizing Muslim countries means leaving Islam,” by Salem Ben Ammar (translation from the French by RF), August 18, 2015: “To hell with democracy! Long live Islam!” One hundred percent of Muslims agree with that. To say anything else […]
Mosques and massacres: Western leaders need to start paying attention
“In many Muslim countries … the mosques are monitored by the police on Friday. There is a simple reason for this: many political decisions start from the mosque during the Friday khutba [sermon]. Historians of Islam know that many riots and revolutions were launched from the mosques and that jihad is often proclaimed during the khutba.” “Mosques and Massacres,” by […]
