I hadn’t planned to comment on this vicious little hit piece, but so many people have sent it to me that I suppose for the record it is worth pointing out its inaccuracies. “The poison behind the Ground Zero mosque furore: The hate-filled sites…” Hate-filled sites: no, Atlas Shrugs and Jihad Watch are love-filled sites.

Geller: Obama Ramadanadingdong
More reflections on Obama’s ridiculous Ramadan ruminations. “Obama Ramadanadingdong,” by Pamela Geller at Big Peace, August 13: Barack Obama this week extended his “best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world” and wished them a “Ramadan Kareem.” And he wrote, as he did in last year’s Ramadan message also, about “the principles that […]
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 […]
ACLU helping jihad terror imam al-Awlaki’s father sue CIA
The ACLU has to go out of its way to represent him, because he has been designated a terrorist. Courtroom Jihad Update: “Father Of Internet Imam Plans To Sue CIA,” by Dina Temple-Raston for NPR, August 3 (thanks to all who sent this in): The father of the Internet’s most famous radical cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, […]
Al-Awlaki calls for Muslims in the U.S. to wage jihad against government
The headline is at odds with the text of the article — probably a typo — over whether Al-Awlaki was addressing Muslims in the U.S., or calling for Americans in general to convert to Islam. In the latter event, such a call would not be surprising, because Muhammad required Muslims to invite an enemy to […]
Fitzgerald: Two Missions Impossible — Both Reflections Of One Mistake (Part I)
Statements made last week by two high officials in the government, one civilian and one military, each give cause for concern. Their statements not only are alarming in themselves, but if we connect the dots, that is, the dots that connect those two statements, natural concern should become anxiety, and anxiety become alarm, about the […]
Islamic cleric linked to jihad attacks in U.S. calls for murder of those who “defame” Muhammad
Capital offense And of course “defamation,” in this context, means “telling the truth about what he said and did,” as well as the Motoons. “Qaida magazine urges killing of those who defame Mohammed,” from AFP, July 11 (thanks to Mukund): DUBAI: An English-language Al-Qaida magazine in its first issue ran an article it said was […]
Morocco continues purge of foreign Christians
“In April nearly 7,000 Muslim religious leaders backed the deportations by signing a document describing the work of Christians within Morocco as ‘moral rape’ and ‘religious terrorism’.” If we had a prize for ridiculous moral equivalence, that would be hard to beat. An update on this story, in which Modern, Moderate Morocco continues to enforce […]
That didn’t take long: Somali jihadists issue ban on watching World Cup soccer, start killing to enforce it
Priorities: “Football descended from the old Christian cultures and our Islamic administration will never allow watching it. We are giving our last warning to the people.” Now, that’s going to make a stable, prosperous society: killing the people who watch soccer. “Somali Islamists kill two football fans for watching World Cup matches,” from the African […]
