New in PJ Media: Centuries from now, historians will look back at the first quarter of the twenty-first century and shake their heads in wonder. “This was an age,” they will say, “when people were at war with reality. They actually thought that if they believed fervently enough in falsehoods, their cherished untruths would become […]
As antisemitism skyrockets, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe voices concern over ‘Islamophobia’
“It says reports of antisemitic and anti-Muslim acts have increased by 284% and 29% respectively.” Yet OSCE is not voicing concern about antisemitism, but about “Islamophobia.” Note also that “Islamophobia” is used interchangeably in the article below with “anti-Muslim hatred.” OSCE claims that “there has been an upsurge in hatred against Muslims.” They don’t say […]
Germany: Imam recites Qur’an’s opening prayer, often understood as condemning Jews and Christians, at primary school
This sounds like a neutral prayer to which anyone can ascribe, but it isn’t. The final two verses of the Fatiha, the first sura of the Qur’an, ask Allah: “Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom you have favored, not of those who have earned your anger, or of those who […]
German and French interior ministers discuss ‘how we can counter the terrible acts of violent Islamists’
Neither Faeser nor Darmanin will consider curbing mass Muslim migration. Nor will they ponder the relationship of “Islamism” to Islam. Such inquiries would so quickly become massive indictments of the policies of both countries for decades that there is no chance they will be pursued. “German minister seeks closer ties with France on combating terrorism,” […]
Germany: Even after ISIS says it carried out jihad massacre at Festival of Diversity, cops search for motive

Germany: Islamic State claims responsibility for murder of three people at ‘Festival of Diversity’
Ot wasn’t just a festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary, as Reuters says here. It was a Festival of Diversity. Meanwhile, the cops are doing their usual dance: Markus Caspers of the counterterrorism section of the public prosecutors office, said: “So far we have not been able to identify a motive, but looking at the […]
Agence France-Presse claims that climate change is causing child marriage in Pakistan
AFP, like all establishment media sources, is determined to do everything it can to ensure that people think positively of Islam. Nevertheless, this is just silly. There was child marriage in the land that is known today as Pakistan long before there was any “climate change” myth-making. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage […]
American Liberal Jews Still Don’t Understand Islam
“There is no place in our community for any kind of hatred, whether it’s anti-Semitism, Islamophobia” There are different signs of the Overton Window on genocidal antisemitism sliding open. But CAIR’s leaders openly celebrating Oct 7 and justifying antisemitism while retaining their influence is one sign. After a public school was vandalized, the usual statements deploring […]
The Victory of Fantasy
Here is the Foreword I contributed to Mateen Elass’ superb book, Fairy-tale Islam: Deceptions Masking a Dark Reality, which you can order here. Longtime Jihad Watch readers will recall Mateen’s excellent and thought-provoking articles here at Jihad Watch. His book offers more much-needed insights. Fantasy about Islam has won the day. Everyone knows that Islam is […]
Kamala Harris Calls for ‘Courage to Object’ to Term ‘Radical Islamic Terrorism’
New in PJ Media: Now that the Party of Democracy has done away with all that cumbersome “voting” business and anointed Kamala Harris as its presidential candidate, Harris is busy demonstrating that she holds all of her party’s deeply held principles. This reassures the Democrat base, in case anyone was worried, that she is a […]
