There was, of course, no way that Ed Balls could have known what Reyaad Khan was going to do five years after he posed for a photo with him. The problem is that nothing effective is being done to prevent young Muslims from becoming “extremists.” As our AFDI ad points out, “Today’s moderate is tomorrow’s […]
UK: Christian school “downgraded for failing to invite an imam to lead assembly”
Are any Islamic schools being downgraded for failing to invite Christian priests or ministers to lead assemblies? Doubtful in the extreme. In the wake of the Trojan Horse takeover plot of British state schools, British authorities appear to have decided that the remedy is to further the Islamization of schools. They appear intent on rushing […]
Bill Maher and the difference between Islam and Muslims
Bill Maher deserves some credit for sticking to his positions on Islam, jihad and Sharia, despite enormous pressure and an increasing torrent of abuse from his Leftist former friends and allies. In this interview, however, he reveals some of his own limitations: he has only a glancing knowledge of the subject matter, and is ill-equipped […]
Maher: Pakistan punishes blasphemy with death, but I’m wrong on Islam?
His guests, David Miliband and some other clown, rush to absolve Islam from any responsibility for this, going on to argue with him that this is a Pakistani problem. They do not, however, address Maher’s point, that this blasphemy death sentence was just affirmed by a high court in Pakistan. His implication was that the […]
Reza Aslan: Marx and Freud “gave birth to the Enlightenment”
The Enlightenment is generally considered to have begun in the mid- to late 17th century and ended in the late 18th century. Karl Marx was born in 1818 and died in 1883. Sigmund Freud was born in 1856 and died in 1939. Neither could have possibly given birth to the Enlightenment, which preceded them. Neither, […]
Kerry: Islamic State not due to Islam, but due to Israel and climate change
Hostility to Israel, dark warnings about the perils of global warming, and an anxiousness to absolve Islam of any responsibility for the evils done in its name — this single address by John Kerry sums up the Obama Administration’s foreign policy in a nutshell. “Kerry: Extremism Not Linked to Islam; Factors Include Deprivation, Climate Change,” […]
Washington Times claims Islamic State “struggles” to reconcile its tactics with Sharia
More deceptions, half-truths, and comforting fictions, this time in a conservative publication, showing yet again that the cluelessness on this issue is bipartisan. Comments interspersed below. “Islamic State struggles to reconcile terrorist tactics, Muslim law,” by Andrea Noble, The Washington Times, October 15, 2014: The Islamic State is increasingly struggling to justify its sanctioning of […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: 5 Islamic Scholars Who Say They’d Demolish Me in Debate – But Don’t Dare Try
The mainstream media, American academia and even much of the public discourse are for the most part a one-party state. Dissenting ideas are not allowed to be discussed. Instead, academics and media analysts only consider a very small spectrum of opinion, and either ridicule and disparage views that fall outside that spectrum without refuting them, […]
UK: Six months after Islamization of state schools reported, nothing has changed
Students have to teach themselves about religions other than Islam. Boys and girls are segregated. Students took a mysterious trip to Saudi Arabia. The attempt to Islamize these state schools was revealed six months ago when the damning “Trojan Horse” plot was released. Since then, nothing has been done, as Absurd and Suicidal Britannia circles […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Sun TV on West’s willful ignorance about jihad
Last Friday, on my regular spot on Michael Coren’s show The Arena, we discussed: 1) Canadian security organizations are tracking up to 90 jihadis who have returned from abroad. 2) The U.S. State Department give their seal of approval to a Muslim handbook first embraced then later rejected by Canada’s RCMP. 3) Possible jihadi plans […]
