“The sheet of paper distributed by the teacher states Sharia Law, or Islamic religious law, gives Muslim men sexual rights over any woman or girl not wearing the hijab or head scarf; allows a man to marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9; and requires Muslims to lie to non-Muslims […]
Kansas City: Muslim migrant who was investigated for terrorism gets four years for passport fraud
“The FBI began investigating Mohamud in April 2017 after his family in Kansas City reported him missing and said they were worried he had gone overseas to take part in jihadi [sic].

Hugh Fitzgerald: No Comment, Or, Read It and Weep
Margaret Johnson, “sociologist, writer, and business owner,” who is an acolyte of Fethulleh Gulen, recently delivered herself of an article entitled “How Islam led me to reject toxic masculinity and realize my worth.” I’ve long been eager to reject my toxic masculinity, and there’s nothing I’d rather do than to realize my net worth. So […]
While complaining that “Palestinians” will starve because of Trump’s cuts, PA buys Abbas $50,000,000 private jet
Both may be true. “Palestinian” children may starve, while their jihadi leaders spend the billions in aid they get from their easy marks in the West on private planes and other perks of authoritarian rule. “Amid funding cut fears, PA purchases $50 million private jet for Abbas — report,” Times of Israel, January 24, 2018: […]
Pakistan’s PM: Aid from US is “very, very insignificant” and Pakistan is “on the forefront of the war on terror”
He says Pakistan has been getting less than $10 million a year. USAID says that the U.S. gave Pakistan $778 million in 2016 alone. And then Abbasi added that whopper about Pakistan being on the “forefront” of the fight against jihad terror. “War is deceit,” said Muhammad. In any case, Abbasi, fine. Just send it […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Rev. Alexander Santora, Or, Islam Out of the Mouths of Babes

Alexander Santora is a Christian clergyman in New Jersey who has taken a great interest in presenting Islam in the best possible light and, unsurprisingly, he gives no sign of being interested in finding out what is actually in the Qur’an and Hadith. He is content to report the clipped replies by young Muslims […]

Ahmadi Muslims Hijack Islam
For many years we have heard that the jihadists have “hijacked” Islam by arbitrarily picking and choosing what verses of the Koran and teachings of Muhammad, or portions thereof, to follow, while ignoring those that don’t support their actions. In a similar vein, the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Community USA has hijacked Islam with their website Muhammad […]
Houston Imam “apologizes” for call to “fight Jews in Palestine,” Jewish leaders skeptical
Houston, Texas Imam Raed Saleh Al-Rousan of the Tajweed Institute, who urged Muslims to “fight the Jews in Palestine” in a sermon in early December, now speaks out about his desire to “repair the damage caused by his remarks.” Well of course he is “apologetic.” He was busted. This is precisely what my warning to Icelanders […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Garry Wills, Qur’anic Scholar
Garry Wills’s What the Qur’an Meant and Why It Matters begins with a statement of his certainties. He knows that students of the Qur’an, like himself, “must deal with militant misuses of it” and “blatantly distorted reports of what it says.” Garry Wills knows better. For if the militants understood the Qur’an correctly, then they […]
