Pope Francis Elevates an Interfaith-Healing Archbishop
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, about whom I wrote Monday, is not the only one. There is also Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald (no relation). The disquieting story is here: Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, former head of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, has been made a cardinal by Pope Francis. The Walsall-born White Father, who is now based at […]
Here We Go Again: Macron Vows Fight Against “Distorted” Version of Islam
My latest in the Geller Report: Four people are dead at the police prefecture in Paris at the hands of a longtime employee, Mickaël Harpon, who converted to Islam ten years ago. And now French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed finally to confront the problem: last Tuesday, he told Paris police officers that it was […]
France: Journalist who found that Paris jihadi was convert to Islam sanctioned for saying it could be jihad attack
The Left’s war with reality drives it farther into insanity every day. Clement Weill-Raynal discovered that Paris jihad murderer Mickaël Harpon was a convert to Islam and said on the air that the attack could be jihad. For that, his employers are threatening him. It was a jihad attack, so they should be thanking him […]
Germany: Cops say motive of Muslim migrant who smashed truck into cars while screaming “Allah” is unclear
Of course. What could his motive possibly be? Who ever heard of Muslims deliberately driving vehicles into people? We want to avoid “Islamophobia” at all costs. That’s job one. Once we take care of that, then we’ll find Mohammed’s motive. “Germany probes motive of Syrian crash truck hijacker,” AFP, October 8, 2019 (thanks to The […]
What Does It Take to Arouse Suspicion?
The controversy this week in France, over why French officials failed to act on all the warning signs that Mickaël Harpon gave that he was in sympathy with jihad violence and hence might one day engage in jihad himself, recalls the instructive case of Khalid Masood, which revealed numerous problems with how officials all over […]

Pope unveils statue celebrating migrants in Vatican, says Christians have a moral obligation to care for them
In guilt-tripping Christians into dropping all opposition to mass Muslim migration into the West, Pope Francis is sending a clear message to all non-Muslims: drop dead. He appears to be absolutely unconcerned about the following facts: Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab […]
Canada: Police hunting for person who put up stickers asking what if Islam isn’t a religion of peace
Now it is evidence of “racist views and anti-Islamic views” simply to ask whether or not Islam is a religion of peace. The question cannot even be asked without bringing on a police investigation. Simply asking about the content of Islamic doctrine is not allowed. It is a nefarious, “sneaky way to make people feel […]
