Philip Luther is the Research and Advocacy Director for the Middle East and North Africa for Amnesty UK, and the main author of the recent Amnesty report that denounces Israel for being an “apartheid” state, guilty of “domination” and “oppression” of the Palestinians. I thought I’d share with you Philip Luther’s impressive record, as […]
Amnesty International Hoist By Its Own Petard
The Amnesty report that has just appeared, the one that is so much in the news because it labels Israel an “apartheid” state, employing “a system of oppression and domination against the Palestinian people wherever it has control over their rights,” is truly a grotesque affair. The Amnesty report accuses Israel of “massive seizures […]
Libya joins Turkey in ‘Islamophobia’: detains 5000 migrants in ongoing crackdown
As the West contributes to its own demise in dhimmitude via unvetted immigration policies, Islamic countries take quite a different approach to Muslim migrants. This crackdown against Muslim migrants isn’t unique to Libya. Turkey was harsh too in its deportation of hundreds of Muslim migrants from Afghanistan. The UN has also reported that “a migrant […]
Poland rebuked for declaring state of emergency at border over illegal Afghan arrivals
It isn’t simply about turning away those in need. Poland isn’t targeting the asylum seekers. It’s seeking to protect its citizens. Valid concerns for Poland’s security motivated its declaration of emergency. Take the following examples: Discussions are already underway about Afghan migrants suspected of Taliban ties, with warnings about the Taliban establishing a fifth column […]
Switzerland: Left criticizes anti-terror law to monitor ‘potential terrorists’ as young as 12
While “human rights” organizations are condemning Switzerland (see HERE and HERE) they largely ignore the torture and murder of innocent people by jihadists. Instead, they are worried about possible abuse of authority by the Swiss in merely watching over these children for “signs of potential jihad activity”. Left-wing opponents of the law believe that it […]
Pakistan: Surge in jihad murders of Ahmadis, who are deemed apostates
Most people in Pakistan, among other mainstream Muslims, do not view Ahmadis as Muslim at all. Only in India are they recognized as Muslims by law. In 1970, in a landmark ruling, an Indian court determined that Ahmadis cannot be declared apostates by other Muslim sects because they believe in the two fundamental beliefs of […]
Minnesota: Hamas-linked CAIR succeeds in pushing St. Paul City Council to declare government of India “Islamophobic”
It is extremely unlikely that any member of the St. Paul City Council knows or cares that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), erroneously referred to in the article below as the Council on Islamic Relations, is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have […]
Amnesty International Employee Gets Gaza Peace Activist Arrested by Hamas for Virtual Meeting with Israelis
In late April a few dozen Palestinian and Israeli peace activists held a video conference. It was an attempt to discuss their relations without rancor, a human-to-human event. That praiseworthy undertaking led in the end to the arrest of Rami Aman, the organizer of the video conference on the Palestinian side, by Hamas. He has […]
Amnesty International urges Jordan to stop imprisoning women for defying men, ignores root cause of the problem
“Under the male ‘guardianship’ system, which Amnesty said is at the centre of a web of discriminatory provisions, men are empowered to control ‘women’s lives and limit their personal freedoms’, while women could be subjected to degrading practices such as ‘virginity tests’, aimed at determining whether they’ve had sex outside marriage.” All right. But where […]
Libya: Islamic State abducting Christian women, making them sex slaves
This is nothing: in the UK, a Muslim was mistakenly served a bacon sandwich. In light of that, it’s no surprise that the Catholic Church is much more concerned about “Islamophobia” than about the plight of these Christian women. To talk about them might harm the “dialogue,” right, Bishop McManus? The seizure of Infidel girls […]
