“Shamari is ‘now in Jeddah prison, for insulting Islam,’ Badawi’s wife Ensaf Haidar said on Twitter on Friday. ‘This is the accusation they make against anybody defending human rights,’ said one of the activists.” That’s interesting. In the U.S., anybody defending human rights against Sharia oppression is charged not with “insulting Islam,” but with “racism,” […]

“Moderate” PA calls jihadist who shot rabbi “hero defending freedom”
“Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas…” — Barack Obama, March 21, 2013 “PA Calls Assassin Terrorist ‘Hero Defending Freedom,’” by Ari […]
German official warns about 1,000 supporters of Islamic jihad terrorism in the country
“No reasons for panic, he said.” Of course. Panic is never a good reaction to anything. But given the fact that German authorities are doing absolutely nothing to make sure that the belief system that fuels this affinity for terrorism doesn’t keep spreading in Germany, in ten or fifteen years, and maybe sooner, those authorities […]
Switzerland: Three Muslims arrested, suspected of aiding Islamic State and planning jihad attack in Europe
The appeal of the caliphate is clearly global. But for Western authorities to acknowledge that would be for them to admit that it had something to do with Islam. “Three Iraqis arrested in Switzerland, suspected of planning attack,” Reuters, October 31, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann) ZURICH, Oct 31 (Reuters) – Swiss authorities said on Friday […]
Al-Qaeda leaflet calls for intensifying jihad and establishing caliphate in Bangladesh and eastern India
“If we manage to establish a Syria-like reign here (in Bangladesh) then Muslims from Assam, Arakan (former name of Burma’s Rakhine State) and West Bengal too would be able to come here for hijrat (migration with religious agenda). Simultaneously, anti-India revolts would intensify in seven eastern Indian states. This would be a huge blow for […]
Australian police issue nationwide terror warning to teachers
As more and more young Muslims from Australia are joining the Islamic State, and crude pro-Islamic State graffiti appeared on one school, Australian authorities are hoping that teachers will tip them off about “radicalized students” — with no curiosity about where this “radicalization” is coming from. It must be from the Internet, doncha know. “Federal […]
Denver teen Muslimas talked for almost a year with Islamic State jihadis
“Officials at the Cherry Creek School District, where all three attended high school, said it appeared the girls were victims of online predators.” It seems from news reports that every young Muslim from a Western country who tries to join the Islamic State has been “radicalized on the Internet.” That has become an easy way […]
Boko Haram top dog says abducted girls married off after conversion to Islam
“And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then one or those your right hand possesses.” (Qur’an 4:3) “Abducted schoolgirls married off after conversion to Islam, […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: UK: Child Sex Exploitation Now the ‘Norm’
Britain continues its descent into madness. My latest in FrontPage: The UK’s Guardian reported Wednesday that “sexual exploitation of vulnerable children has become the social norm in some parts of Greater Manchester,” and the denial and obfuscation about what is really causing this problem is thicker than ever. In the very same sentence in which it broke […]
