Complete decarbonization? You first, fellas. No more jetting to Rome to cause trouble for everyone by canonizing hard-Left Democratic Party policies. And let’s see you portly prelates start bicycling from parish to parish — no more driving for you, McManus. That wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. While the bishops call for this destruction […]
UC Riverside Magazine Gushes Over Celebrity Prof Reza Aslan
UCR, the Magazine of UC Riverside, recently produced one of its periodic puff pieces on creative writing professor, self-declared Islam expert, and soon-to-be television host, Reza Aslan.

UK judge: Parents who tried to join Islamic State can keep children, passports
“It is my assessment that the intervention of the state has been a wake-up call for this couple. Their current beliefs do not pose a risk or compromise the safety of their children.

Putin proposes “immunity” for sacred texts: they can’t be judged “extremist”
“The move comes after the protest by a part of the vast Russian Muslim community over the decision of a court of the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the Far East, which had deemed verses of the Koran ‘extremist’, forbidding its distribution.” What, then, must one do when confronted with a worldwide movement that quotes verses of […]
Obama DOJ teaming with SPLC to fight “domestic terrorism” and “bigotry”
The Justice Department’s teaming with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) means that all Americans who oppose the Obama Administration’s hard-Left agenda will be under suspicion (or worse) of being “domestic extremists” — including those who criticize the Administration for refusing to tell the truth about the nature and magnitude of the global jihad threat.

Tell MAMA is thrilled — you remember Tell MAMA. That’s the “hate crimes watchdog group” that fabricated evidence of a “wave of attacks on Muslims” in wake of London jihad murder of Lee Rigby. “The Muslim Council of Britain has also welcomed the proposal.

UK gave Gitmo inmate $1.5 million; now he has fled to the Islamic State
Blair pressed hard for his release from Guantanamo. He played the victimhood game to the hilt — witness this Mirror headline: But for all his celebrated victimhood status and praise from the British intelligentsia as a living sign of the evil of the West, he really was a jihadi, and now he has fled to […]
The Myth That White Supremacy is Bigger Threat to U.S. Than Jihadis
Over at PamelaGeller.com I take apart a common media myth: This patently false claim is part of the ongoing Big Lie campaign to try to downplay and minimize the jihad threat. It first surfaced in June, and in wake of the Oregon murders, the media elites are dragging it back out again. But it is […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: New York Times Says ‘Modern Man’ ‘Has No Use for a Gun,’ ‘Cries Often’
How would we know how to live if they didn’t tell us? My latest in PJ Media: The New York Times is not just the Paper of Record. It is, among so very many other things, the adjudicator of acceptable opinion, the arbiter of style, and the guide for the perplexed. It was thus with […]
