After 9/11, you may recall, the United States was going to bring democracy to the Islamic world. Nine years later, we have Sharia Constitutions in both Iraq and Afghanistan. A Shi’ite client of the Iranian mullahs rules shakily in Iraq, while in Afghanistan the U.S.-backed president is increasingly hostile to America and even threatens to […]

Geert Wilders in Tel Aviv: “Israel is an immense source of inspiration for me”
Here is the text of the speech Geert Wilders gave in Tel Aviv today: Shalom chaveriem, Let me start by saying that it is with great sadness that I share your grief over the deaths of more than 40 brave Israelis who lost their lives – many while trying to save others in the great […]
A Tribute to Hugh Fitzgerald
This post is entitled “A Tribute to Hugh Fitzgerald,” but not in the manner of the devastating series of “Tributes” of various academic poseurs, craven politicians, and useful idiots that Hugh himself wrote for Jihad Watch. (You can find them, among a great deal more of enduring value, in his Archives here.) This one is […]
NPR leaps to do the bidding of Hamas-linked CAIR, fires Juan Williams for “anti-Muslim” remarks
It turns out that NPR fired Williams after CAIR sent out a national press release in which CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said this about Williams’ statements: “Such irresponsible and inflammatory comments would not be tolerated if they targeted any other racial, ethnic or religious minority, and they should not pass without action by […]
Fjordman: Medieval Muslim Scholars — Their Contributions and Shortcomings
Medieval Muslim Scholars — Their Contributions and Shortcomings by Fjordman Those who have read my essays know that I can hardly be called an apologist for Islam. I don’t like Islam at all and make no attempt to hide this fact, but I also don’t like dishonesty. I believe the so-called “Golden Age of medieval […]
“It is certainly time that the West considered systematically whether it has irreconcilable differences with Islam”
So says Conrad Black in “Islam and the West: There need not be a basic conflict — but we should resist their aggressions” in National Review today: It is certainly time that the West considered systematically whether it has irreconcilable differences with Islam. The belligerence of many Islamic spokesmen and the unassimilable quality of many […]
Spencer: Wilders’ Trial: Win One, Lose One
In FrontPage this morning I discuss the ominous implications of one of the prosecutors’ statements in the Stalinist show trial of Geert Wilders: On Tuesday, as his trial resumed in Amsterdam on various charges of offending Muslims, Dutch freedom fighter Geert Wilders won one victory and suffered one defeat. This is welcome news for Wilders […]
The Mosque of Notre Dame in Paris in English: “It’s what you deserve, Frenchmen; good God, didn’t you see it coming?”
Russian novelist Elena Chudinova wrote The Mosque of Notre Dame in Paris a few years back. Jihad Watch readers were introduced here in October 2005 to her dystopian imagining of what an Islamic France would be like in 2048. She couldn’t get it translated into French because it was too politically incorrect — Julia Gorin […]
Muslim cleric calls for beheading — who cares? Christian pastor says he will burn Qur’an — international outcry!
In “Australian Muslim Cleric Calls for Beheading — Who Cares?,” September 23, Larry Elder (thanks to Kristian) points out the glaring double standard: What happens when an Australian Muslim cleric calls for the beheading of a Dutch politician? Not much. What happens when an American pastor no one ever heard of threatens to burn a […]
Stella L. Jatras: The Rape of Serbian Women
The Rape of Serbian Women by Stella L. Jatras (Letter to Phyllis Chesler of Chesler Chronicles) Dear Phyllis, I apologize for the length of my letter, but there is so much to be covered on this subject in order to do it justice. In your commentary of 28 July entitled, “Is Marital Rape a Crime […]
