“Islam never allows terrorism; this is one. Secondly, Islam and terror cannot be mentioned together. Third, Daesh is a terror organization and it has nothing to do with Islam.” This from a man whom the Russians accuse of supporting the Islamic State. The Pentagon has rejected those allegations, but without dealing with the Russian evidence. […]
Robert Spencer in Front Page: Dalia Mogahed: Mainstreaming Islamic Oppression
In FrontPage today I discuss Sharia advocate Dalia Mogahed’s recent appearance on the Daily Show, where she endeavored to explain why Islamic oppression of women is, hey, really cool. Dalia Mogahed, formerly Barack Obama’s adviser on Muslim affairs, appeared on Trevor Noah’s sinking-like-a-stone Daily Show last week, to explain to a worshipful Noah and an […]
Islamic State manual tells jihadis to pretend to be Christians
Governing authorities and the media are sure to fall for this. They insist Islamic jihadis have nothing to do with Islam, anyway, and so a cross-wearing jihadi will be sure to fill the New York Times and CNN with portentous explorations of the phenomenon of “Christian terrorism.” Note also that the entire publication is for […]
Will 2016 Be the Year of Abbas Diplomacy?
Any early-January look ahead to the year in international politics would be incomplete without acknowledging the boldest diplomatic move of the year just ended. That move came when Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas stole the spotlight from far more visible diplomats John Kerry, Mohammed Zarif and Sergey Lavrov by threatening unilateral withdrawal from the Oslo […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The “Ask A Muslim” Girl
Last week, outside the Public Library in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a personable, presentable, sweet-faced young Muslimah, one Mona Haydar, stood for several hours with her husband Sebastian (a convert to Islam), offering donuts and coffee to passersby under two big signs that read “Ask A Muslim” and “Talk To A Muslim.” Some of those passersby did […]

Nothing to be concerned about. Obama made a deal with them! Peace in our time! “Extradited Chinese National Guilty of Supplying Iran with Goods Used to Make Nuclear Weapons-Grade Uranium,” FBI.gov, December 18, 2015 (thanks to Banafsheh): BOSTON—A Chinese national pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court in Boston in connection with supplying Iran with […]
Two countries didn’t know they were in Saudi Arabia’s Muslim coalition against terrorism
War is deceit, said Muhammad. Saudi Arabia is the single country that is primarily responsible for spreading the belief system that incites terrorism around the world, so their commitment to fighting it is questionable at best, aside from protecting the House of Saud from encroachments from the caliphate that the House of Saud has done […]
Maryland Muslim charged with supporting the Islamic State
“ElShinawy was communicating with ISIS terrorists in other countries, many of whom sent him money to possibly carry out an attack or to travel to Syria.” Which other countries? Any in the West? “Who Is Mohamed Yousef ElShinawy? Maryland Man Charged With Supporting Islamic State, Lying To FBI,” by Abigail Abrams, International Business Times, December […]
UK: “I am Muslim, do you trust me enough for a hug?” faces jail for bomb threat
Awwwwwk-ward. Moderate until he wasn’t. How did he come to misunderstand his new, peaceful religion after understanding it so well before? “Convert who protested outside Parliament over Syrian airstrikes with poster saying ‘I am a Muslim… do you trust me enough for a hug?’ now faces jail for threatening to bomb MP’s house,” by Richard […]
New English Quran Says It Often Means Opposite of What It Says
Over at PJ Media I describe a new volume of smoke and mirrors from Islamic apologists in the U.S. I could have made this article two or three times longer: the half-truths and word-twistings are scattered across every page. For example, The Study Quran translates Qur’an 48:29 as: “Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Those […]
