After the murder of Samuel Paty, the French middle-school teacher murdered by a Muslim Chechen for including cartoons of Muhammad in a lesson on free speech, President Macron refused to condemn those cartoons, angering many Muslims around the world, for whom the Prophet is “the most sacred thing in Islam.” At a ceremony in Paty’s […]
Muslim world condemns Macron over cartoons, Iran’s Zarif says ‘Muslims are primary victims of cult of hatred’
France is experiencing backlash from across the Muslim world, including Pakistan, Libya, Gaza, Lebanon, Morocco, Jordan, Turkey and Iran, for standing up for the freedom of speech. And once again, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan is discussing the pain Muslims feel when Muhammad is insulted, just as he did when he was first elected in […]
Erdogan: Muslims in Europe are treated like Jews before World War II
Really? Where has a single state denied Muslims the right to employment, or confiscated their property, or done anything comparable to what National Socialist Germany did to the Jews before World War II? Also, if this were true, why are Muslims trying so hard to get into Europe, rather than streaming out of it? Erdogan’s […]
‘Boycott French products’ trending in eight Arab countries over Macron’s comments on Islam
Here again we see that even the slightest pushback against the advancing jihad is immediately characterized in all too many quarters of the Muslim world as a gratuitous attack on a wholly innocent Islam, a manifestation of “Islamophobia” and “hate” that all decent people must reject. “‘Boycott French products’ launched over Macron’s Islam comments,” Al […]
Erdogan: ‘What is the problem of Macron with Muslims and Islam? Macron needs treatment on a mental level’
This is quite similar to charging opponents of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others with “Islamophobia,” which implies that opposition to such evils are afflicted with a pathology, a psychological disorder. The logic of that leads to pseudo-therapeutic torture in reeducation camps, but we aren’t quite there yet. In any case, these […]
France: Muslim who beheaded teacher over Muhammad cartoon told jihad contact in Syria he had ‘avenged the Prophet’
Abdullakh Anzorov moved to France when he was six. He is unlikely to have brought with him the idea that murder is an appropriate response to a cartoon of Muhammad. He was almost certainly taught that in France. Who taught him this? Have his parents been investigated? Has his mosque been investigated? Why not? “French […]
In France, Macron Claims That ‘Fear is About to Change Sides’
Will the murder of Samuel Paty at long last lead France to do what it must to meet the Islamic threat within? Or will there be rhetorical resolution, a laying of flowers, marches of solidarity in major cities, a series of well-publicized roundups and then, again, a relaxing of resolve and of raids, as happened […]
International Union for Muslim Scholars: ‘we are in fear for societies that make other people’s religions targets’
Al-Qaradaghi said, “the future is for the religion of Islam and we are in fear for the future of societies that make other people’s religions and sanctities legitimate targets.” The future is for the religion of Islam? Leonard Cohen said it best: “You aren’t going to like what comes after America.” “We are in fear […]
Trotskyites: French ‘ruling elite’ is ‘whipping up an atmosphere of anti-Muslim hysteria’ in wake of jihad beheading
The Leftist/Islamic alliance becomes more obvious, and more open about its goals, by the day. “Macron promotes anti-Muslim ‘free speech’ hypocrisy after terrorist killing,” by Will Morrow, World Socialist Web Site, October 18, 2020: Within less than 48 hours of the terrorist attack and murder of a teacher near Paris on Friday afternoon, the entire […]
France: Muslim community tells Macron ‘stop stigmatizing us’
At the beginning of October, Macron prompted a widespread backlash from Muslims by unveiling his “plan to defend secularism.” The reaction of many Muslims to Macron’s statement that “Islam is a religion that is in crisis all over the world today” ironically proves Macron’s point. Macron’s only mistake is his failure to note that Islam […]
