Charles de Foucauld, a Catholic priest who is about to be canonized by the Vatican, spent much of his adult life living alone among Muslims, first among Arabs in Morocco, and then among Tuaregs in Algeria. He wished for, but did not himself attempt, the conversion of Muslims. He instead saw his mission as one […]
Charles De Foucauld, Who Took Islam’s Measure, To Be Canonized (Part 1)
This does not signify a change in Pope Francis’s own views of Islam. It only means that Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916), a French priest who lived among Muslims in Morocco and Algeria , where by his own example he hoped to promote their conversion to Christianity, has been willfully misunderstood by the Vatican, for de […]
EU Foreign Affairs Chief Denounces Potential Annexation of West Bank by Israel
The Times of Israel has the story of Josep Borrell’s latest failed attempt to get the E.U. to denounce the potential annexation by Israel of parts of the West Bank: The Foreign Ministry on Tuesday hit back against the European Union’s “megaphone diplomacy” after the bloc’s foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell, again warned Jerusalem against […]
Shock! Pensacola Shooter Turns Out to Be Al-Qaeda Operative Who Plotted His Attack for Years
My latest in PJ Media: The Associated Press reported Monday that “the gunman who killed three U.S. sailors at a military base in Florida last year repeatedly communicated” with al-Qaeda operatives “about planning in the months leading up to the attack.” And he didn’t just communicate with them. Attorney General William Barr noted that the […]
Arizona: Muslim Students Threaten to Kill Prof for Suggesting Islam is Violent
My latest at PJ Media: This will teach those Islamophobes that Islam is a religion of peace: a professor is facing death threats for suggesting otherwise. Nicholas Damask, Ph.D., has taught political science at Scottsdale Community College in Arizona for 24 years. But now he is facing a barrage of threats, and his family, including […]
Archbishops of Canterbury and Westminster, Chief Rabbi of Britain join Muslims for online Ramadan celebration
https://twitter.com/NazLegacy/status/1258126906093961218?s=20 The participation of so many Christian leaders (there were others besides the two Archbishops, including the Bishop of London) as well as the Chief Rabbi of Britain in the #RamadanAtHome initiative might seem at first glance to be a beautifully welcoming gesture of tolerance in a multicultural society. That is certainly how its organizers […]
UK: Muslims who raised funds for ISIS laugh as prosecutor describes them as “deeply radical”
Prosecutor Alistair Richardson said: “The prosecution case is that both defendants are deeply radical. They supported the Islamic state in whatever ways they could….Mohammed expressed rejection of moderate, mainstream Islam in favour of the perversion of it advanced by the Islamic State.” But why, Alistair? How did that happen? Where did they learn this “perversion” […]
UK government: “Child sexual abusers come from many different age groups, communities, ethnicities and faiths”
A petition signed by over 123,000 people to date asked the British government to release a report on the rape gangs that have plagued the country for decades. It’s easy to see why the government doesn’t want to release the report: it will show that the rape gangs are overwhelmingly Muslim, and often explicitly motivated […]
Spain: Cops rule out terrorism in case of Muslims who drove into airport terminal while screaming “Islamist slogans”
Well, of course. They just wanted to sell Girl Scout cookies at the airport. Relax, you greasy “Islamophobe.” “Men Ram Car Into Spanish Airport Shouting ‘Islamist Type’ Slogans, Had no Terror Motive Say Police,” Breitbart London, March 20, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Two men were arrested in Barcelona on Friday morning after […]
Spain: Muslims screaming “Islamist slogans” drive car into airport terminal, cops not treating it as terror attack
“Despite reports that the perpetrators shouted Islamist slogans, the police are not currently treating the incident as a terrorist attack.” This is reasonable. Who ever heard of Muslims mounting terror attacks at airports, anyway? Why, the very idea is “Islamophobic.” “Two arrested after botched ‘Islamist attack’ sees car driven into Barcelona airport (PHOTOS),” RT, March […]
