“British Jews have spoken of their fear after a pro-Palestine group supported by Jeremy Corbyn forced Jewish-owned shops to close by staging aggressive rallies outside them.” Corbyn also was recently ‘saluted’ by Hamas who thanked him for his support of a pro-Palestinian march. And three months ago, Corbyn stood up to block efforts by the […]
UK: Bereaved British teen stripped of £500,000 inheritance after Dubai sharia court told she’s Christian
Many Muslims living in the UK who should be protected under British laws are not. They are still subject to the Sharia in a democracy. This is not just happening within Britain’s 85 plus Sharia courts, which should not be in existence, but sharia rulings from abroad are also having impact too; as seen in […]
UAE Forum Promotes Dubious Islamic Peace (Part IV)
“Westerners love this stuff, interfaith summits,” Brookings Institution political Islam scholar Shadi Hamid stated at a January 8 Washington, DC event about the 2018 Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies (FPPMS). While political motivations lead states including the FPPMS-sponsor United Arab Emirates (UAE) to support ever more of these dubious gatherings that sanitize Islam, […]
UAE Forum Promotes Dubious Islamic Peace (Part III)
As earlier demonstrated, the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) annual Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies (FPPMS) promotes a whitewashed Islam in the service of, among others, UAE interests.

Pope signs declaration with Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar condemning “terrorism and oppression” carried out in God’s name
Pope Francis has “met with Emirate leaders and signed a joint declaration together with Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, the grand imam of Cairo’s Al-Azhar University, condemning ‘acts of murder, exile, terrorism and oppression’ carried out in God’s name.” This sounds admirable and appears on paper to the gullible to be a source of hope, but the […]
UAE Forum Promotes Dubious Islamic Peace
“Peace and love are at the center of our religion, as evidenced by scripture and history,” stated Sheikh Abdullah Bin Bayyah at the inaugural 2014 Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies (FPPMS) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Despite his radical past, such positive portrayals of Islam continue to suffuse the recent December 5-7, […]
The Soros-funded propaganda smear machine Center for American Progress fires staffers for leaks about UAE influence
The Center for American Progress is the extraordinarily well-funded, mendacious and subversive hard-Left organization that published a highly deceptive and misleading report on “Islamophobia,” a neologism designed to intimidate people into fearing to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression. The CAP is antisemitic as well. And now we see why: it’s on the payroll of […]

“US ally” UAE is arming Yemeni jihad leader who is on terrorist list
The source of this story is the propaganda mill known as the Washington Post, so it cannot be taken at face value, but there is nothing implausible about the prospect of the UAE arming Abu al-Abbas. For years I have said that the U.S. needs to reconfigure its global alliances in order to face the […]
