One more Open-Mosque Ask-Muslims-Anything Night, this time in Tyler, Texas. The story is here: People who don’t believe Jesus was a prophet cannot be Muslims. About one-third of Africans brought to the United States as slaves were believed to be Muslim. And Muslims don’t consider Christians infidels. So Christians are to be impressed that Muslims […]
Texas: Muslim tried to join the Islamic State, said if he couldn’t, he’d carry out jihad massacre in the US
“He said if he failed to join ISIS abroad, he would carry out an attack on non-Muslims in the United States.” Where did Kaan Sercan Damlarkaya learn his understanding of Islam? Where did he go to mosque? Is that mosque being attended? Or are such considerations being waved away with the all-purpose bromide that he […]
Anti-Zionist Imam strikes back at critics who bemoaned his invitation to give House invocation
Imam Omar Suleiman, founder and president of Yaqeen Institute in Dallas was invited to give an invocation on the House floor. Denunciations followed as they should have, given Suleiman’s antisemitism and fierce opposition to Zionism. He defended himself against his critics in stating….

Texas: Muslim teen plotted jihad massacre at mall — “we will cast terror into your hearts as Allah commanded us”
“You can move to another country that is not fighting the muslims but of course you want your easy lives in America so we will cast terror into your hearts as Allah commanded us.” “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror […]
Houston: Muslim children sing “Allahu akbar, Khamenei is our leader…we are your soldiers”
What are the chances that these children will grow up to be loyal, patriotic Americans? Around zero. Look at the tenth grader’s remarks. He is standing in Texas and speaking English, and assuming — as clearly everyone in the hall is assuming — that America is a foreign power, and an enemy of his country, […]
Texas: Muslim migrant couple convicted of keeping girl as slave for 16 years
Slavery is acceptable in Islam. The Qur’an has Allah telling Muhammad that he has given him girls as sex slaves: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.” (Qur’an 33:50) Muhammad bought slaves: “Jabir (Allah be pleased […]
Texas: Imam accused of sexual misconduct with teen girl now under fire for polygamy
Why is anyone angry that the imam Zia Ul-Haq Sheikh is behaving in a manner consistent with Islamic teaching? The Qur’an tells Muslim men that they can have as many as four wives, as well as “captives of the right hand,” i.e., Infidel sex slaves (4:3). Note also that Sheikh’s “grooming” victim was 13 years […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: A Few Questions for Shahid Shafi
These questions should ideally be addressed to Dr. Shahid Shafi at a public hearing, in the most courteous, non-confrontational, we-just-want-to-clarify-a-few-things manner — not that, given his pattern thus far, he is likely to answer them. Here are some questions that come to mind: 1. Dr. Shafi, in saying your five daily prayers, you — and […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Shahid Shafi’s Texas Morality Tale
The media line, which has nothing to do with reality, goes like this: some Know-Nothings — Texans and Republicans (need we say more?), the kind of people whom the Southern Poverty Law Center will denounce in a New York minute — are at it again, calling into question a fine fellow and all-round nice guy, […]
Houston Mayor honors Hamas-linked group, proclaims December 9 “CAIR-TEXAS, Houston Day”
Whose bright idea was this? CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar […]
