The entire Western political and media establishment resolutely ignores the fact that the jihad against Israel has anything to do with “religious principles.” Yet Muslim leaders all over the world routinely insist on this fact, and on its importance. Is it wise of Western “experts” to ignore it? “Houthi Spokesman Nasruddin Amer: We Tracked Netanyahu’s […]
Columbia Students Can Support Terrorists, But Can’t Read
“Many students no longer arrive at college—even at highly selective, elite colleges—prepared to read books.” A woke educational system politicizes everything, it also produces functional illiterates who only know how to be outraged at the things they’re told to be outraged at. (This is often mislabeled as teaching ‘critical thinking’.) The consequences of replacing Shakespeare […]
Everything That Goes On In the Muslim Middle East Has to Do with Islam
Do people in the West have a negative view of Islam because of a campaign of “Islamophobia”? That’s the assumption of an old article that remains relevant, and that we have been accordingly revisiting: “Obsession with Islam blinds West to real problems,” by Omer Taspinar, Asia Times, March 13, 2019: The result has been to reinforce the […]
Iran’s Missile Attack on Israel Funded by Obama-Biden Sanctions Relief
In April 2024, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel. And Biden offered Iran sanctions relief. In April 2024, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel. And the Biden-Harris administration offered Iran sanctions relief. Is U.S. foreign policy on autopilot? On Wednesday we learned the Biden Administration is imposing sanctions on another Israeli while reissuing a […]
The ‘Dismal Perception’ in the West of Islam is Well Deserved
A five-year old but enduringly relevant article asserts that “Obsession with Islam blinds West to real problems,” by Omer Taspinar, Asia Times, March 13, 2019. The idea Taspinar is attempting to express is that anything and everything — except Islam itself — explains the growing “civilizational clash,” which in his telling seems to originate in the West, […]
IDF kills Hamas jihadi who gleefully showed off his bloody hands after lynching Israeli reservists
Time for Antonio Guterres to issue another condemnation of Israel, but he is probably still deep in mourning for Hassan Nasrallah and not attending to his official duties. “IDF Kills Hamas Terrorist Infamous for Ramallah Lynching of Israeli Soldiers,” by Matthew Xiao, Washington Free Beacon, October 3, 2024: An Israeli airstrike killed Hamas terrorist Aziz […]
Hamas murders Muslim aid worker from US-based charity, group then demands ceasefire to enable Hamas to survive
“HEAL Palestine is more dedicated than ever to serving Gaza, in her honor. Ceasefire now.” A ceasefire would enable Hamas to survive. HEAL Palestine said this just after Hamas murdered one of its workers. Now that’s dedication to a cause. “Palestinian gunmen slay female aid worker in Gaza in volley of bullets” Times of Israel, […]
Biden: No Money for Flood Victims, $336,000,000 for ‘Palestinians’
Over $1 billion in aid for the terrorists since Oct 7. Plenty of people have seen the short clip of Biden replying that there’s no more money left for Hurricane Helene victims. BIDEN: “We’ve given everything that we have.” “Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?” BIDEN: “No.” But there’s […]
UK: Sikh group campaigns against ‘flawed’ definition of ‘Islamophobia’
“If the government chooses to incorporate this definition into law, then discussing the history of the Indian subcontinent, and the persecution of religious minorities across the world today, in countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria will be absurdly equated to ‘racism.’” Indeed. This initiative is already well underway. I’m Exhibit A. “Boost for British […]
Is Islam an ‘Insurmountable Obstacle to Freedom, Democracy, Secularism, and Gender Equality’?
Some claim that the West has a ridiculous Islamophobic obsession with Islam. A five-year old but enduringly relevant article asserts this: “Obsession with Islam blinds West to real problems,” by Omer Taspinar, Asia Times, March 13, 2019. Taspinar deplores the fact that Islam is widely seen as an “insurmountable obstacle to freedom, democracy, secularism, and gender equality.” Taspinar claims […]
Afghanistan: Divorced child brides forced to return to former husbands
Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage and the sexualization of children are taken for granted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated […]
Australia appoints UN ‘Global Expert’ as ‘special envoy to combat Islamophobia’
Immigration and Multicultural Affairs Minister Tony Burke said: “Bigotry is always wrong. You should be able to live safely and freely in Australia, regardless of who you are or what you believe.” Sure. But the “Islamophobia” envoy won’t just crack down on vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified and already illegal. He […]
UK: 30,000 migrants to continue living in hotels at cost of $5,800,000 per day for 3 more years
It would be unbelievably foolish for any British citizen actually to believe that a far-left government such as that of Prime Minister Keir Starmer would abide by his election promise to curb Britain’s ongoing illegal migrant problem. The latest news brings a sense of déjà vu, that tens of thousands of illegal migrants are being […]
Trump blames Biden-Harris for attacks on Israel, warns of ‘global catastrophe’ with ‘nonexistent’ president
Iranian Muslim Cleric Says Israelis Had Supernatural Help to Kill Hezbollah’s Nasrallah
New in PJ Media: The Israelis have astounded the world in recent weeks with several unparalleled feats of wartime ingenuity, most notably the explosion of thousands of pagers that belonged to high-level Hezbollah operatives. Topping even that was the elimination of arch-terrorist and media darling Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah, who had been in hiding for nearly two […]
Biden Regime Preps Post-Election Revenge on Israel
“Space for more confrontational policies vis-a-vis the Israeli government” Whoever wins on Election Day it won’t be Joe Biden who will head off to join Jimmy Carter in senile infamy or his top administration members who won’t be likely to stay on no matter which way the election turns out. And the administration is taking […]
Who is to Blame for ‘Islamophobia’?
Does the West has a ridiculous Islamophobic obsession with Islam? We’re examining an old but enduringly relevant article that asserts this: “Obsession with Islam blinds West to real problems,” by Omer Taspinar, Asia Times, March 13, 2019: It is easy to blame anti-immigration politics and racism for the rise of Islamophobia. Yet the problem cannot be reduced to […]
Michigan: Muslims scream genocidal ‘Khaybar’ chant, call to ‘blow up Tel Aviv’
As The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS explains, Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad led a Muslim force against the Khaybar oasis, which was inhabited by Jews — many of whom he had previously exiled from Medina. When he did so, he was not responding to any provocation. One of the Muslims later remembered: “When […]
Does the West Have an ‘Obsession With Islam’?
Some people believe that the West has a ridiculous Islamophobic obsession with Islam. Five years ago, this assertion was given a lapidary formulation by one Omer Taspinar. His claims are worth revisiting. “Obsession with Islam blinds West to real problems,” by Omer Taspinar, Asia Times, March 13, 2019: From Donald Trump’s alarmist speech in 2017 in Poland, […]
Germany: Muslims throng streets of Berlin, scream ‘Allahu akbar’ to celebrate Iran’s attack on Israel
Meet the new Germany, eerily like the old Germany. “Berlin: Israel haters cheer on Iran missiles in Berlin’s streets,” translated from “Berlin: Israel-Hasser jubeln in Berlins Straßen über Iran-Raketen,” Bild, October 1, 2024 (thanks to Medforth): Israel is attacked with ballistic missiles and the attack is celebrated frenetically in several places in Berlin!
