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.

Philadelphia mosque where imam preached Jew-hatred says they’re “shocked and outraged” that he did
“We are shocked and outraged to learn that one of our guest speakers said reprehensible anti-Jewish remarks on the floor of Al-Aqsa,” said mosque official Chukri Khorchid, but it’s more likely that he is shocked and outraged that one of their guest speakers got caught making reprehensible anti-Jewish remarks.

Hugh Fitzgerald: Robert Azzi, Still At It With His “Ask A Muslim Anything” Program (Part Three)
3. “It says in the Qur’an that a man can beat his wife if she is disobedient. Could you comment on that?” Azzi: “Yes, I’m glad you asked that question. It’s true that some 1400 years ago, and not just in the Middle East but in Europe, men had far more control over their wives […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Robert Azzi, Still At It With His “Ask A Muslim Anything” Program (Part Two)
Friends introduced him to the Koran, the holiest scripture of Islam. Azzi was captivated by the translation by Muhammad Asad. Asad, himself a convert to Islam, was born Leopold Weiss to a Jewish family in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Asad’s rabbinical skills and the tradition of questioning in Jewish learning greatly influenced Asad’s translation of the […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Robert Azzi, Still At It With His “Ask A Muslim Anything” Program (Part One)
I have written about Robert Azzi before, but because he is as busy as ever with his “Ask A Muslim Anything” events, it’s time for another look at this tireless propagandist for Islam. For several years, Azzi has been visiting towns in New Hampshire — and very occasionally in northern Massachusetts — from his home […]
Guardian runs piece entitled “Why it’s OK for young Muslims to be radical”
For years, Western analysts at all points on the political spectrum have used the qualifier “radical” when speaking about jihadis (“radical Islamists”) and their motivating ideology (“radical Islam” or “radical extremism”). The point was to preserve the fiction that Islam is a religion of peace that doesn’t teach violence against unbelievers, and that the “radicals” […]
