There is also evidence that Muslims were on the ships that the Italian explorer, navigator and colonist Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in the 15th century. It’s time to put paid to this claim made about Muslims and their supposed Columbus connection. Three distinct claims are made by Muslim “scholars” about Muslims and […]
Abbas lies to Harvard students about accepting Jews and Christians in a future divided Jerusalem
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been saying one thing to Palestinians and another to American audiences. Abbas has declared that “not a single Israeli” will exist in future Palestinian state. Surprise! It actually should not be any surprise. What remains surprising is that anyone would expect him to do anything different. Deceit is an […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tale of Two Museums (Part Three)
My own sense, and that of few dozen other Americans with whom I have checked about when Muslims began arriving in numbers, though only anecdotal evidence, may be of interest. The consensus is that from the late 1800s to the beginning of World War I (when immigration from Ottoman lands nearly ended for the duration […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tale of Two Museums (Part Two)
The second museum discussed in this article is in Jackson, Mississippi. This grandly-titled and tiny “International Museum of Muslim Cultures” is less than twenty years old. “It was a struggle for a long time to even get American Muslims behind our idea,” said Emad Al-Turk, referring to the International Museum of Muslim Cultures in Jackson, […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tale of Two Museums (Part One)
“What you don’t know about America’s Islamic heritage” is what USA Today purports to tell us in a feature story published some time ago that remains relevant as one example of a growing chorus. One of the greatest stories rarely told about the long history of Muslim immigration to the United States stretching back hundreds […]
Islamic State jihadi pleads to return to Australia, says he was “misled,” just wanted to learn more about Islam
The establishment media continues its full-court press to compel non-Muslim governments to accept returning Islamic State jihadis. And to what end? Why is the establishment media so bent on putting non-Muslim states and their citizens at risk? Why should anyone take what Mohammed Noor Masri says here seriously at all? “War is deceit,” said Muhammad […]
Supporters of “Palestinian” jihad use photo of girl injured in Yemen to claim Israeli war crimes in Gaza
The tweet noted below has been taken down, but this image, with the caption, is still circulating: you can see it here on Facebook, where no one in the comments notes that the image isn’t of a “Palestinian” girl and has nothing to do with Israel. But it doesn’t. “War is deceit,” said Muhammad, and […]
Afghanistan: Taliban coercing, beating locals to allege civilian deaths in Kunduz operations
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268). The “Palestinians” are past masters at this sort of thing. And the Taliban is learning. “Taliban coercing, beating locals to allege civilian deaths in Kunduz operations,” Khaama Press, March 23, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): A day after Afghan armed forces inflicted heavy casualties on Taliban […]
Washington Post hits “baffling argument” that “Islam is not a religion”
Merriam Webster defines “religion” as “a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices.” Islam certainly qualifies as a religion by that definition. Religions profess to connect human beings to the divine. Islam professes to do that. At the same time, however, it is also a political system that is authoritarian, supremacist, […]
Qanta Ahmed’s Denial of the Reality of Islamic Anti-Semitism
Qanta Ahmed is a poised and eloquent defender of “moderate” Islam. A British-American pulmonologist now serving as an Associate Professor of Medicine at the State University of New York, she also describes herself as a specialist in the study of Islamism as contrasted with Islam. Recently, she has written opinion pieces firmly skewering Rep. Ilhan […]
