Another Jesuit strays off the reservation. No matter how ruthlessly Pope Francis and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops work to suppress any challenge to their new iron dogma that Islam is a Religion of Peace (which they appear to believe in more fervently than they do their own creed, as they enforce adherence to […]
Bloomberg View: “To Defeat Islamic State, Treat Muslims Better”
At last, we have hit on the solution to the global jihad onslaught: just be nicer to Muslims, you greasy Islamophobes. All those people in the Brussels airport — just think of how mean they were being to Muslims. Some of them may even have been drinking alcohol. Oh, the Islamophobia! And those people at […]
Sanders: We need to get to the ‘root cause’ of September 11 attacks
Sanders no doubt thinks that the root cause is poverty and the solution is wealth redistribution, but actually there is abundant evidence that poverty does not cause terrorism. So what does? Here you go, Bernie, straight from the Qur’an: 2:191-193: “And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled […]
Pennsylvania imam who said Hirsi Ali should be killed leads interfaith service
The non-Muslims who participated in this interfaith service were being played for fools, but that is true of most, if not all, “dialogue” between Muslims and non-Muslims. Meanwhile, those who are shocked that Fouad ElBayly turns out to be an “extremist” need to be aware that the death penalty for apostasy is mainstream Islam: “They […]
Australia: Muslim teen charged with Anzac Day jihad plot
There is no hint in this article that this was a jihad terror plot, but there are several clues that give it away. One is that the teen was arrested in Auburn, a suburb in southwest Sydney with a high Muslim population. Another comes from a different report, from ABC.net.au: “AFP Sydney state manager Commander […]
Missouri: Youth pastor’s wife wearing hijab in “solidarity” with Muslims
“Someone needs to be communicating with Muslims that there are Christians in this nation who love them.” How wonderful! Now when will Martha DeVries show some love for Aqsa Parvez, whose Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it? When will Martha DeVries celebrate the memory Amina Muse […]
Brookings touts study claiming that “even a basic knowledge of Islam” can “dampen support for Islamist militant groups”
There are numerous reasons to be suspicious of this study. Here are a few: This precis of the study contradicts itself. It claims to have found that “knowledge about Islam indeed has a statistically significant and negative impact upon support for the Afghan Taliban and SSP.” But then it notes that “those who espoused the […]
Obama’s ‘Countering Violent Extremism’ Program Collapses Into Absurdity
“Obama’s CVE policies were developed in 2011 specifically at the demand of U.S. Muslim groups. Now, the very same Islamic groups that demanded CVE are some of its loudest opponents. They claim that the administration is promoting ‘Islamophobia’ through their programs.” They want no resistance to jihad terror at all — which should be revealing […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Miroslav Volf of Yale, or Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani
Miroslav Volf has for two decades been a leader in the interfaith healing industry; he founded and directs the Yale Center For Faith and Culture. His specialty is proclaiming that Christians and Muslims “worship the same god,” even though, apparently, this conclusion is based on a distinctly one-sided investigation, for he blandly announces that he […]
Belgian Interior Minister says many Muslims danced after jihad attacks
Jambon sees that many Muslims in Belgium hate Belgium, and assumes that this must be Belgium’s fault. It never seems to occur to him that Muslims might very well hate the West for reasons of their own, based on Islamic texts and teachings and having nothing to do with the behavior of Western authorities. The […]
