Apostolic succession is a Christian doctrine: it is the idea that the bishops are successors of the apostles and derive their authority from those apostles. Catholicism and Orthodoxy, as well as the ancient Oriental Churches and some others, hold that only those bishops who hold a valid succession from an apostle have any legitimate authority […]
Hamas-linked terror org CAIR inundated with fake Christmas cards
Pamela Geller has an amusing post about the Hamas-linked terror organization CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, boasting that it is so beloved for its work fighting against counter-terror measures and smearing foes of jihad terror that it has been inundated with Christmas cards from Christian well-wishers. There’s just one problem with this heart-warming scenario: […]
‘Muslim Reformers’ — Forever Talking the Talk, Never Walking the Walk
[Via FrontPage Magazine] Due to its rarity, it’s always notable whenever a top Islamic leader publicly acknowledges the threat of Islamic radicalism and terror. And yet, such denunciations never seem to go beyond words—and sometimes not even that. Thus, in “An Arab Prince Denounces Islamism,” Daniel Pipes highlights “a remarkable but thus-far unnoticed address on Dec. 5” […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Did Muhammad approve of torture?
In FrontPage today I discuss yet another dishonest attempt to portray Muhammad as a man of peace — an attempt that appears especially cynical and dishonest in light of the Sydney and Peshawar jihad attacks: Did Muhammad approve of torture? For Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid, the answer is “no” – a “no” so unequivocal […]
Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid whitewashes Muhammad’s support for torture
Qasim Rashid is a relentlessly disingenuous writer. Previously he has whitewashed the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied about the Qur’an’s sanction of beating disobedient women; lied about the nature of Sharia; and called […]
Feminist blisters Reza Aslan for claiming women have equality in many Muslim countries
Reza Aslan recently claimed that women enjoy complete equality in Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Turkey. I responded here. Feminists, however, remained silent, as is generally the case whenever they have an opportunity to stand against the oppression of women in Muslim countries. But now Aki Muthali, a feminist writer, has taken this barely literate charlatan […]
Catholic Diocese of Sacramento: CAIR claims on Robert Spencer cancellation are false
The Hamas-linked terror organization the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) launched a new website last month, boasting in its daily mailing that the site was meant to marginalize foes of jihad terror: “This means that when someone who may think an Islamophobe is a legitimate speaker and searches for the person on the Internet, they […]
Muslim Brotherhood reportedly fabricating sex tapes to stir trouble in Egypt
Mohammed Tawfiq, a former leader of the Construction and Development party, recently asserted that the Muslim Brotherhood—which is banned as a terrorist organization in Egypt, Russia, Syria, and Saudi Arabia—has been using “porn actresses to stir up discord between Muslims and Christians ahead of November 28.” This is the date that Egypt’s Salafis have designated as […]
Terror org CAIR denounces Kassig beheading as “anti-Islamic”
The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, which the United Arab Emirates has just designated a terror organization, says that the beheading of Abdul-Rahman Kassig was “anti-Islamic.” This AP story doesn’t explain what they’re basing that claim upon, and Hamas-linked CAIR probably didn’t explain. It could be several things. They could be trying to get away […]
