Was Islam Really More Tolerant Than Christianity?
I received an email from “Stan,” who wrote to respond to my article “Donald Trump and Counter-Jihad.” Through Google I discovered that Stan is an Ivy-League-educated PhD. “Counter-jihadists,” Stan wrote, “deny that Islam was indeed more tolerant from the end of the 11th century down to the 17th.” Catholic Church teaching during that period “was […]
Saudi TV host: We must admit that terrorists “adhere to the religion of Islam”
A refreshing and highly unusual moment of truth on Saudi TV. ” We must admit that they are present everywhere, that their nationality is Arab, and that they adhere to the religion of Islam. We must acknowledge that we are the ones who gave birth to them, and who have made them memorize the teachings […]
Revive Clear Thinking and the Jihad Dies
Because it is my field of study, one would expect I’d have much to say immediately after jihadi attacks of the sort that recently occurred in Brussels (35 killed), or San Bernardino (14 killed), or Paris (130). Ironically, I don’t: such attacks are ultimately symptoms of what I do deem worthy of discussion, namely, […]
Video: Mark Steyn Blisters Leftists Who Mocked Victims of Muslim Rape Gangs
Mark Steyn delivers withering assault against pro mass immigration liberals who openly mocked the young victims of gang rape by Muslim migrants in Europe. I am ashamed to admit I didn’t grasp the importance of the Munk Debate held last week in Toronto. But now I do, and I feel it is my duty to […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Obama Knows Best
Back in January, at a press conference with David Cameron, Barack Obama delivered himself of some thoughts on how Europe should deal with its Muslim problem. He claimed that the United States had had “more success” than others in “integrating minorities,” and that “our biggest advantage, major, is that our Muslim populations feel themselves to […]
Pakistan: Public schools teach hatred of Jews and Christians, “passion for Jihad”
No need to be concerned. Only 70% of Pakistani children go to these schools. Meanwhile, our children are learning to be sensitive to “microaggressions” and to eschew unpopular ideas as “hate speech.” “Children in Pakistan are learning disturbing things about other religions in school,” by Nafees Takkar, Christian Science Monitor, March 31, 2016: … In […]
Integration is Not the Answer to Muslim Terrorism
“What is often described as ‘radicalization’ is really a choice by ‘integrated’ Muslims to become religious and to act on their beliefs.” “Integration is Not the Answer to Muslim Terrorism”, by Daniel Greenfield, Frontpage Magazine, April 1, 2016: There is a famous photo of Anjem Choudary, the head of multiple banned organizations calling for imposing Sharia […]
Obama: “The Republican base had been fed this notion that Islam is inherently violent”
Where would anyone get the crazy idea that Islam was inherently violent? Well, the day’s headlines might give us that very strong impression, but Obama would tell us (and has told us) that those Muslims who are screaming “Allahu akbar” as they murder non-Muslims are, despite appearances, not really Muslims at all, but just people […]
Maine: Muslims “frustrated” by “backlash” after Brussels jihad massacre
What backlash? Muslims attacked? Mosques burned? Laws passed barring Muslims from entering airports? No. Actually, there has been no backlash at all: “violence against Maine’s estimated 6,000 Muslims has not been a serious problem.” So where’s the backlash? Why, one Muslim says that “the anger and hostility displayed nationally during the political campaign season eventually […]
