How is “Islamist terrorism” a “perversion of a great faith”? The learned imam Theresa May did not bother to explain. For her and her ilk, it is self-evident. Yet one might get the impression that violence against unbelievers is not at all a perversion of Islam from the authoritative sources in Sunni Islam, the schools […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Mickey-Mockers of Mother Jones, and All That Islamophobia
Mother Jones is a left-wing publication that, while it seldom – and possibly never — has had a kind word for Christianity in its history, turns out to be a stout defender of Islam. How the Left fell so hard for Islam is a puzzlement, for a more retrograde faith — misogynistic, supremacist, homophobic, protective […]
Robert Spencer Video: Parents of People Killed by Muslim Hit Trump for Calling Murders Terrorism
In this new video, I discuss two parents’ strange anger at Donald Trump for classifying as terrorism the murders of their children by a Muslim who was screaming “Allahu akbar.”
Dusseldorf axe attacker: “Fatmir H,” Muslim from Kosovo — cops rule out “Islamic fundamentalist motive”
If a German had showed up in London in 1944 and opened fire, would police have ruled out any connection to Nazism? Fatmir H comes from a hotbed of jihad activity. The Islamic State and al-Qaeda have issued repeated calls for Muslims in West to murder civilians. We have seen the perpetrators of numerous jihad […]
Unfit for duty: McMaster and Gorka
It is unfortunate and disquieting that this denial and willful ignorance continues in the Trump administration. One cannot defeat an enemy that one does not understand, much less one that one refuses to understand. President Trump continues to speak about “radical Islamic terrorism” while hiring people who remain in Obamoid fantasyland. This must be clarified. […]
Catholic scholar of Islam: “The average Muslim sees Islam as a religion of peace”
A November 2015 Pew Research Center poll showed that only 28% of Muslims in Pakistan had an unfavorable view of the Islamic State. A Pew Research poll in 2013 showed that only 57% of Muslims worldwide disapproved of al-Qaeda, and only 51% disapproved of the Taliban. Two-thirds of Muslims in Britain would not report a […]
Reza Aslan: Why he is not a Muslim
In this CNN piece, Reza Aslan purports to explain why he is a Muslim, and only ends up demonstrating that he is not a Muslim (although he is an Islamic apologist). Now, I can hear the chorus of outrage now through my office window: Muslim explains why he is a Muslim, bigoted “Islamophobe” says he […]
George W. Bush hits Trump, says Islamic jihadis “are not religious people”
It’s noteworthy that Bush is speaking out against President Trump, but remained almost completely mum during eight years of Obama. This is because he is an establishment Republican, and the establishment Republicans proved themselves during the 2016 presidential campaign to be partners, colleagues and allies with the Democrats in the Republican establishment, with only Trump […]
McMaster and Gorka: Understanding or Misunderstanding Islam?
There are two fundamental ways to view Islam in the West, and it is now clear those who hold to the “Islam is a religion of peace” view, which has held sway over the affairs of the West for so long, are fighting a desperate rear-guard action to remain in charge following Trump’s rise to power. […]
Canada: Ontario unanimously passes “anti-Islamophobia” motion
The Ontario legislature unanimously passed an anti-Islamophobia motion Thursday afternoon, a marked difference from the heated debate happening among Conservatives over a similar motion at the federal level…. …Des Rosiers introduced the motion Dec. 1 in response to incidents in her Ottawa-Vanier riding such as anti-Muslim graffiti, and young women wearing hijabs who were spat […]
