No virgins for you: Five jihadists killed when the bombs they were building exploded

Death to Churches in Islamic World
Over at Gatestone Institute (via RaymondIbrahim.com) I discuss the plight of churches in the Islamic world, in light of the Easter day bombing in Nigeria, and the significance of attacking churches on the holiest of Christian holidays, from Christmas to Easter: Last Sunday, many Christians around the world celebrated Easter, taking it for granted that […]
India: Islamic seminary issues fatwa against beauty parlors, saying they’re against Sharia
Obviously the imams of Darul Ulum Deoband are Misunderstanders of Islam and of Sharia, for everyone knows that Sharia is completely benign religious law that is not incompatible in the slightest with Western freedoms — just ask the Ground Zero Mosque Imam Rauf or any other Muslim leader in the U.S. Yet for some reason […]
Muslim Persecution of Christians: February, 2012
Over at Stonegate Institute (via RaymondIbrahim.com), I list last month’s atrocities, the overwhelming majority of which never made it to the mainstream media. The introduction of the report follows Half of Iraq’s indigenous Christians are gone due to the unleashed forces of jihad, many of them fleeing to nearby Syria; yet, as the Assad regime […]
Tunisia: “Our Qur’an is our constitution”
More Friday fun in Tunisia. Remember when this was supposed to be a tiny, harmless, marginal sideshow of a minority of extremists? Even here, however, we see the self-deception that Sharia somehow isn’t what it is and won’t execute (sometimes quite literally) the Qur’an’s own prescribed punishments: “The secularists would have one believe that Islam […]
Pamela Geller: HuffPo Equates Freedom Fighters with Taliban
HuffPo Equates Freedom Fighters with Taliban by Pamela Geller John Feffer, co-director of Foreign Policy in Focus, has written a curious apologia for the irrational murders and riots taking place in Afghanistan in response to the inadvertent burning of Qur’ans at Bagram Airfield. In “America’s Image Problem in Afghanistan” in the Huffington Post, Feffer says […]
Boko Haram: “We are going to put into action new efforts to strike fear into the Christians of the power of Islam by kidnapping their women”
They want to “liquidate” Christians from the country. When they run out of unbelievers, or even before, they will turn on each other and implode, because their own ideology — the idea that those who are not implementing Sharia “correctly” must repent or die — can and will be used against them. If allowed to […]
Krauthammer: How about an apology from the OIC?
Skewering the double standard. “Krauthammer: When Will Islamic Nations Apologize To Us”¦,” by Josh Feldman for Mediaite, February 24: Almost everyone in the Obama administration, including President Obama himself, has been apologizing to Muslims all over the world after NATO forces burned copies of the Quran in Afghanistan yesterday.

Iraq: Rapid-fire series of attacks kills 55
Perhaps al-Qaeda, the likely suspect whenever closely coordinated, multiple attacks occur, is considering al-Shabaab’s strategy in trying to leverage the Somali famine to its purposes, and Boko Haram’s sustained campaign of destruction in Nigeria: ruling over an empty country with no people left who can stand or survive it would be so much easier. Failing […]
