The Catholic archbishop of Colombo, Malcolm Ranjith, “met with ambassadors of Islamic countries who expressed condolences over the deadly Easter Sunday suicide bombings and assured him, he said, that there was ‘no connection to Islam.’” No one who thinks could possibly take this seriously. To understand the 1,400-year link between bloody jihad conquest and normative […]
Qanta Ahmed, Death Cap Mushrooms and Islam
Qanta Ahmed, a naturalized American, accomplished doctor and liberal Muslim, is at it again. Claiming to represent true Islam, she has launched another diatribe against Ilhan Omar over her recent, infamous CAIR speech in which the Minnesota Democrat congresswoman described the 9/11 terrorist attacks as “some people did something.” Ahmed quite rightly calls Omar “…a […]
New York Times, Ilhan Omar claim Jesus was a “Palestinian”
In AD 134, the Romans had expelled the Jews from Judea after the Bar Kokhba revolt and renamed the region Palestine. The Romans had plucked this name from the Bible; it was the name of the Israelites’ ancient enemies, the Philistines. But never did the term “Palestinian” refer to anything but a region — not […]
Turkey’s Foreign Minister: “We are proud because our history has never had any genocides and no colonialism”
Let’s see. A million and a half Armenians killed. Not genocide, insists Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu. A million Greeks killed. Not genocide, insists Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu. The jihad conquests of the Byzantine Empire, Eastern Europe, and more. Not colonialism, insists Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu. And indeed, the Ottoman Empire didn’t create colonies out of the conquered territories; the Ottomans just […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tale of Two Museums (Part Eight)
There are the outlandish claims, too, that Chinese Muslims arrived in what is present-day California in the 9th century, for which the only source is the vaguest of references by the Muslim historian and geographer Al-Masudi (871-957 CE). In his work, Meadows of Gold, Al-Masudi tells of the expedition of a Muslim navigator (Khashkhash Ibn […]

Yesterday we brought you the news that a Muslim professor who says she has expertise in “Islamophobia” claims she was assaulted at a conference of Canadians for the Rule of Law.

Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tale of Two Museums (Part Seven)
Muhammad Fraser-Rahim, a historian of Islam who spent more than a decade as a counter-terrorism advisor, including at the Department for Homeland Security, said that at a time when Trump appears to be questioning whether Islam is compatible with American life, there is an appetite for more awareness of its place in the American story. […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tale of Two Museums (Part Six)
Yet if the American Jewish and Christian experiences are well documented in countless journals, research institutes, museum collections, in business, and in popular culture and entertainment, the American Muslim experience mostly appears to sit outside the broader narrative of stories Americans tell themselves about their history, according to religious scholars such as Lior Sternfeld, who […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tale of Two Museums (Part Five)
At some Muslim sites, it is claimed that the Pinzón brothers, Martin Alonso Pinzón, the captain of the Pinta, and his brother Vicente Pinzón, the captain of the Niña, were Muslims. There is even the further claim that the Pinzón family were related to Abuzayan Muhammad III, the Moroccan Sultan of the Marinid Dynasty. I […]
Omar: “CAIR was founded after 9/11, because they recognize that some people did something”
If we had any actual journalists, one of them might ask Ilhan Omar exactly what she thinks was done on 9/11, and by whom, but we don’t have any such people. Also, Hamas-linked CAIR was founded in 1994, not after 9/11, and her staunch support for it is revealing. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in […]
