Pope Francis washes feet of Muslim migrants, says we’re all “children of the same God”
Apparently if we’re all “children of the same God,” we’re racist, bigoted and Islamophobic to be concerned about jihad terror committed by Muslim migrants, and certainly have placed ourselves beyond the pale of the Catholic Church, which apparently would prefer the West to commit suicide rather than defend itself. The Pope has washed the feet […]

In his latest […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Was Forced Conversion to Islam Really “Historically Rare” in India?
Here is an exchange between Todd Caldecott and Max Rodenbeck in the Letters Column of The New York Review of Books, on the latter’s claim (in a previously-published review of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Heretic: Why Islam Needs A Reformation) that the Muslim practice of forced conversion was “historically rare” and “revived only recently by ultra-extremist […]
Muslim professor: “Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this”
Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage.
