This is all just theater. Chautauqua needn’t have added any new security, because none of its other speakers are targeted by jihadis. Meanwhile, Chautauqua organizers would rather be boiled in oil than feature a speaker who honestly identified why exactly Rushdie was attacked, and explained the full implications of the attack. “New security measures in […]
France: Muslim screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ fires random shots, fires at police, terrorism ‘not ruled out’
“The terrorist track ‘is not excluded, but it is not a priority as things stand.’” First the French authorities have to figure out if they can plausibly claim that this guy is mentally ill, or lashing out against “Islamophobia,” or whatever the excuse du jour may be. “Aisne: an armed man injured by the police […]
As a Survivor of the First ISIS Attack on American Soil, I Have a Few Thoughts About Salman Rushdie
New in PJ Media: The stabbing of Salman Rushdie has been the occasion for numerous people around the world to reaffirm their commitment to the freedom of speech, and that’s all to the good. I couldn’t help but notice once again, however, the stark contrast between the response to the attack on Rushdie and the […]
Cathy Young and The Bulwark suddenly discover that there is a jihad threat to the freedom of speech
As I noted earlier today here and here, Salman Rushdie, perhaps because he is a doctrinaire Leftist, makes people who otherwise do not oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women think that it’s acceptable to do so. But while the New York Times and Rod Dreher of The American Conservative blithely ignore their previous […]
Rod Dreher and The American Conservative suddenly rediscover the jihad threat
Salman Rushdie is, for whatever reason, the one figure who makes people who otherwise ignore or deny the jihad threat and decry “Islamophobia” think it is acceptable to take a stand against it. Here is Rod Dreher, “Rushdie & Our Permanent Fatwa Culture,” The American Conservative, August 14, 2022: None of the bien-pensants of the […]
New York Times, New York State Police say Rushdie stabber’s motive is unclear
The man’s motive couldn’t possibly be clearer. Salman Rushdie has had a death fatwa over his head since 1989. This is just more willful ignorance, a refusal to confront the ugly realities of jihad violence. “Salman Rushdie is attacked onstage in Western New York,” by Jay Root, David Gelles, Elizabeth A. Harris and Julia Jacobs, New York Times, August […]
Sexual assault of non-Muslim girls in Glasgow
Why do non-Muslim girls continue to associate with Muslim men when the risk of being raped or sexually assaulted by them is so very high, higher than with any other race or ethnicity of males? You would think by this point that every female in the West would be aware of the dangers of associating […]
UK: Police watchdog claims it can’t figure out why cops dropped investigation into Muslim rape gangs
The reason why is blazingly obvious: it was fear of charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia” that led British authorities to allow the Muslim rape gangs to continue operating with impunity. And now it is those same fears of charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia” that led the IOPC to be unable to figure out why the investigation […]
Washington Post: ‘A new atmosphere of stern religiosity permeated Kabul’
This Washington Post feature article purports to show us what life is like in Afghanistan since Old Joe handed the country and billions of dollars’ worth of American military hardware to the Taliban, but true to form, the WaPo studiously avoids the elephant in the room. This is, after all, the establishment propaganda media, so […]
Germany: Police warmly embrace knife-wielding Muslim migrant right after he stabs German
These police are well and thoroughly indoctrinated. They know who the perpetrators and the victims are, no matter what the evidence of their senses may tell them. “The foreigner is always the victim: Berlin’s do-gooder police embraced knife-wielding African after the deed,” translated from “Der Ausländer ist immer das Opfer: Berlins Gutmenschen-Polizei umarmte Messer-Afrikaner nach […]
