Robert Spencer in PJ Media: New York Times Celebrates Muhammad as ‘Paragon of Compassion’
Seventh century fake news from a cynical and deceptive propagandist. My latest in PJ Media: “Happy Birthday, Muhammad,” the New York Times proclaimed happily last Tuesday in a propaganda piece by Haroon Moghul, the author of a book confidently entitled How to Be a Muslim. I’d say it was a new low for the Times […]
New York Times claims that “True Islam Does Not Kill Blasphemers”
This is the second Islamic apologetics article that the New York Times has published in as many days (here’s my takedown of the other one). When did the Times sign up to be the media arm of the Muslim World League? In any case, here is a quick test of whether what Mustafa Akyol says […]
New York Times celebrates Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, as a “paragon of compassion”
Haroon Moghul subtitles this cynical and deceptive piece of Islamic dawah “The prophet was an outsider. Just like me.” Poor little “Dwayne”! Moghul, a professional whiner who is obsessed with portraying himself and other Muslims as perpetual victims, so cowers in fear of “Islamophobic” coffee servers that he says his Starbucks name is not Haroon, […]
New York Times refuses to repeat what Asia Bibi said “because repeating blasphemy is also blasphemy”
Hanif is a Pakistani novelist, and so it is perhaps understandable that he may wish to observe Islamic blasphemy laws, but why is the New York Times, which is supposedly a journalistic outlet in a nation that upholds the freedom of speech, validating his doing so? “There are many versions of what led to the […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: New York Times Sees ‘Disturbing Trend’ of Treating Islam as ‘Not a Religion’
The media tries to destroy opposition to Sharia, a political system. My latest in PJ Media: It’s a “disturbing trend,” says Asma T. Uddin, a Muslim attorney, in the New York Times: “In recent years, state lawmakers, lawyers and influential social commentators have been making the case that Muslims are not protected by the First […]
New York Times hits “disturbing trend” of seeing Islam as “not a religion”
Merriam Webster defines “religion” as “a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices.” Islam certainly qualifies as a religion by that definition. Religions profess to connect human beings to the divine. Islam professes to do that. At the same time, however, it is also a political system that is authoritarian, supremacist, […]
Egypt: Muslim with “extremist ideas” tries to bomb US Embassy, New York Times says motive unknown
Yeah, it’s a real mystery. “U.S. Embassy Bombing Attempt in Cairo Misfires,” by David D. Kirkpatrick and Mohamed Ezz, New York Times, September 4, 2018: LONDON — An apparent attempt to bomb the American Embassy in Cairo failed on Tuesday when an explosive detonated prematurely in the backpack of a would-be attacker, the Egyptian government […]
Tommy Robinson freed on bail
“On Wednesday, the Court of Appeal ordered his release, pending a new hearing in his case. The court questioned the speed with which he had been tried and convicted, noting that it took five hours from the time of his arrest to a conviction.” It was only just to free Tommy Robinson, and lessens the […]
