Rather than an outlier Muslim practice held over from its pagan desert origins, female genital mutilation must be seen in its wider context of Islam’s view of women, and as an especially shocking indicator of the true nature of the “god” of Islam. The recent Federal Department of Justice case in Michigan against a pair […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Jeremy Corbyn, Or, Could Things In the U.K. Become Even Worse?
Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party in the U.K., apparently is rising in the polls and has a chance to defeat Theresa May for Prime Minister in the upcoming elections. As we all know, Theresa May has been a disaster on the subject of Islam. She has insisted that the Islamic State’s “actions […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Olivier Roy, “One of France’s Top Experts On Islamic Terrorism” (Part I)
Olivier Roy, who refuses to believe that the acts of Muslim terrorists might actually be explained by reference to Islam, its texts and teachings, was quick off the mark in explaining the Manchester bombing: Salman Abedi, the suicide bomber who killed 22 people at a Manchester pop concert this week, started life advantageously enough: to […]
Public Health Association of Australia: No “inherent link between Islam and terrorism”
“The PHAA urges the Committee to include a recommendation in its report that disavows the notion that there is any inherent link between Islam and terrorism….The Committee should condemn any politician who refers divisively (expressly or implied) to any religious or ethnic group for the purpose of political gain.” Will the Committee also disavow those […]
Christine Williams: My personal warning to Icelanders
On a visit to Iceland, I joined Robert Spencer for a speech on May 11th at an event at the Grand Hotel in Reykjavik, entitled: “Everything you wanted to know about Islam but were afraid to ask.” Prior to the visit, Spencer was already demonized by the Reykjavik Grapevine publication as an “Islamophobe” who promoted […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Andy Ngo Learns a Lesson About Free Speech
From National Review comes this story, disturbingly similar to many others, about the death of freedom of speech on college campuses: “Fired for Reporting the Truth,” by Andy Ngo, May 12, 2017. The crime for which the author was fired from his job on the campus newspaper at Portland State University was simply that he […]
Islamic Hate, Not Islamic State
A lie conceals the truth. And ugly but hidden truths never have a chance of being acknowledged, addressed, and ameliorated. Because of this simple truism, one of the greatest lies of our age — that violence committed in the name of Islam has nothing to do with Islam — has made an intrinsically weak Islam […]
Thirteen countries have death penalty for apostasy — all Muslim
This is a very telling report on what constitutes normative Islam, contradicting the inaccuracies that ill-informed and agenda-driven folk continue to spread. In normative Islam, challenging or criticizing Islamic texts renders you worthy of death. These countries demonstrate a clear awareness of that fact. “The countries where apostasy is punishable by death”, by Louis Dore, […]
Life insurance for jihad terrorists? America’s first Somali Muslim legislator says “yes”
How could anyone oppose “a bill that would allow life insurance companies to deny payouts to the beneficiaries of terrorists who die in violent attacks on Americans”? What explanation could Ilhan Omar possibly give for her vote? Will anyone in the establishment media challenge her on this? Of course not. To do so would be […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Muslim Screaming “Allahu Akbar” Murders Three In Fresno
As usual, authorities aren’t sure whether or not it’s terrorism. My latest in FrontPage: On Tuesday morning around 10:45AM, a Muslim named Kori Ali Muhammad walked through Fresno, California, shooting three men dead at random, including one in the parking lot of Catholic Charities. When he was arrested, he screamed “Allahu akbar.” According to the […]
