Oslo police banned a demonstration that included a Qur’an burning “due to security concerns.” Although one can see their reasoning, there are wider implications. The cancellation is a surrender to the tenets of violent foreign entities. The Islamic world has already been in upheaval over a Qur’an burning in Sweden. Offending someone else’s feelings is […]
Turkey: Germany, UK, Netherlands close Istanbul consulates over jihad terror threats because of Qur’an-burnings
The German, British, and Dutch governments would like nothing better than to curtail the freedom of expression and forbid such inconvenient incidents as the burning of the Qur’an.

Turkey warns citizens of ‘possible Islamophobic, xenophobic and racist attacks’ in America and Europe
In reaction to its Western allies cautioning their “citizens in Turkey about possible terror attacks” over the Qur’an burning “insult” in Sweden, Turkey has decided to issue a warning of its own about “possible Islamophobic, xenophobic and racist attacks” in the United States and Europe.” How petty and silly of Turkey. On the other hand, […]
The Qur’an-Burning in Sweden and Turkey’s Rage and Threats
In Sweden, Rasmus Paludan, who holds both Swedish and Danish citizenship, burned a Qur’an as a symbolic sign of opposition to the enormous disruptive influx of Muslim migrants into formerly placid Sweden. He is, of course, entitled to do this, as an exercise of free speech guaranteed by Swedish law. In Turkey, however, Western ideas […]

How dare a free country insult Islam!

Crisis in the Caucasus: Two Facts You Aren’t Being Told
Armenia is more critical to Russia’s security than Ukraine is Armenia is Russia’s sole ally in the Caucasus, a region I’ve often termed Ground Zero for Cold War 2.0. Without its Armenian partner, Russia would lose the Caucasus (Georgia/Armenia/Azerbaijan) and the Caspian Sea — and possibly Turkic Central Asia — to pan-Turkism and NATO. Pan-Turkic […]

Sweden permits Qur’an-burning, Turkey says Swedes must fight those who ‘target Islam’ if it wants to join NATO
I’m generally not in favor of burning books as a form of protest; I’d rather people read the Qur’an than burn it. Nonetheless, this is an important flashpoint for the freedom of expression today. If the West continues to bow to violent intimidation on this, we will no longer have a free society (an outcome […]
