Laurie Goodstein, who reports for The New York Times on Islam in America without, apparently, ever thinking she has a responsibility to study the texts and tenets of Islam, and to learn about, and be keenly aware of, the arts of Taqiyya and Tu-Quoque in which Muslim spokesmen are so well-versed so that she, too, […]

Hindu Human Rights Watch spokesman: “Never trust any politician who says Islam is religion of peace”
Photo by El Marco The NYPD was adamant yesterday that our 9/11 Rally of Remembrance must not run over the allotted time for even one minute, and so unfortunately a couple of speakers who had been slated toward the end of the program were unable to speak. I’m pleased therefore to be able to bring […]
Fitzgerald: Feisal Abdul Rauf Makes A Big Mistake
NEW YORK – The imam behind a proposed Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero cautioned Wednesday that moving the facility could cause a violent backlash from Muslim extremists and endanger national security. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf told CNN that the discourse surrounding the center has become so politicized that moving it could strengthen […]
Turkey: Secularists fear referendum as Erdogan’s latest move to push Sharia
That’s right. Creeping Sharia, advanced by referendum if Erdogan has his way. This case only offers further proof that democracy for its own sake is not the solution to “extremism” in the Muslim world, because the success of a democracy to protect civil liberties, equality, and true pluralism (not dhimmitude) depends on the values that […]
Fitzgerald: Mayor Bloomberg: If Not Now, When?
Feisal Abdul Rauf at this point perhaps wishes he had never come up with his slyly all-things-to-all-men triumphalist mosque, and no doubt wishes as well that he had never gotten himself involved with fellow slumlord, the far cruder and more obviously bullying Sharif El-Gamal. Feisal Abdul Rauf has a marvelous ability to personally ingratiate himself […]
Fitzgerald: Barack Obama, The New York Times, that Iftar Dinner, and the rewriting of history
“The first Muslim ambassador to the United States, from Tunisia, was hosted by President Jefferson, who arranged a sunset dinner for his guest because it was Ramadan — making it the first known iftar at the White House, more than 200 years ago.” — Barack Obama, speaking on August 14, 2010, at the “Annual Iftar […]
Fitzgerald: Islam’s Double-Faced Triumphalism: Destruction and Mosque-Building
A Hamas leader recently approved of the mosque at Ground Zero, saying: “We have to build everywhere.” How many mosques have been built in this country already, thanks in large part to the nearly one hundred billion dollars that Saudi Arabia alone has spent to spread Islam over the past few decades, in the United […]
Fitzgerald: A Little More On Obama, Islam, History, and “Getting On The Right Side Of History”
Robert Spencer’s dissection of the Obama Ramadan greetings here was lucid and unrelenting, but I’d like to add some observations, stopping first to note the funniest phrase in what was, otherwise, necessarily – given the nature of the material to work with – unrelievedly bleak: “Obama then retails a few platitudes lifted straight out of […]
Fitzgerald: The mosque, Mayor Bloomberg, and the obligation of good faith, fair dealing, and best efforts
By now there can be few people in this country who have not heard about what has come to be known as the Ground Zero Mosque, the name given metonymically to that planned skyscraper that one Feisal Abdul Rauf and his wife plan to build just around the corner from the site of what was […]
Ali Sina: Pakistan and Legalized Religious Persecution
Pakistan and Legalized Religious Persecution by Ali Sina Imagine one evening you hear a knock on the door. When you open it, a group of armed men with police uniforms enter your house, beat you and handcuff you. Your wife and children are terrorized, but they are told to shut up or they too will […]
