The Washington Post gave Linda Sarsour space to exonerate herself after she called for jihad against Donald Trump. And now it runs interference for Ammar Shahin. But would the Washington Post ever give a foe of jihad terror a chance to rebut charges from, say, the Southern Poverty Law Center? Not on your life. “Washington […]
Washington Post: After Muslim cop shoots unarmed woman, Muslims “brace for backlash”
“Already, hateful posts criticizing Islam and sharia law are filling social media in response to the police shooting.” That there needs to be a public discussion about Islam and Sharia law doesn’t enter into the Post’s mind. As I said yesterday, “We don’t have any indication at this point of why Mohamed Noor killed Justine […]
Washington Post spinning road rage killing by illegal alien as “anti-Muslim hate crime”
Actual anti-Muslim hate crimes are so thin on the ground that the Islamophobia industry — the real one, a multimillion dollar effort dedicated to making it appear as if Muslims in the U.S. were the objects of widespread persecution and harassment — has to make everything it can out of every incident that even remotely […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: No Room at the Inn for an Iftar Dinner
The Washington Post has reported — drop a ready tear — that there will be no Iftar Dinner this year in the White House: For the first time in nearly two decades, Ramadan has come and gone without the White House recognizing it with an iftar or Eid celebration, as had taken place each year […]
Washington Post ascribes Orlando jihad massacre to “gun violence,” omits all mention of Islam or jihad
It’s Job One of the establishment media after every jihad massacre: make sure no one thinks ill of Islam. “One Year Later, WaPo Blames ‘Gun Violence’ For Orlando, No Mention Of Islamic Terror,” by Joe Bilello, Mediaite, June 12, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann): It’s been one year since the horrific Orlando nightclub terror attack at […]
Jihad Watch dispels “falsehoods and disinformation spread by The Washington Post”
The Washington Post, interviewing me for a hit piece on David Horowitz (whom they characterize, with their usual ham-handed propagandizing touch, as “an intellectual godfather to the far right”), asked me what the purpose of Jihad Watch was. This is what I told them. “How a ‘shadow’ universe of charities joined with political warriors to […]
Left discovers jihad, blames Trump for emboldening “jihadist” Saudi Arabia
This war on jihad terror gets stranger by the day. Many leftist purveyors of “Islamophobia” propaganda are resistant to the very word “jihad” and the reality that normative Islam is jihadist at the core and is very much driven by Islamic texts. Yet now CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, of all people, has written about “jihadist terrorism” […]
Trump says jihad attacks “contrary to spirit of Ramadan,” Muslims enraged because he mentioned terrorism
What about jihad violence is contrary to the spirit of Ramadan? The many Islamic authorities quoted in this piece would disagree with President Trump. But Muslims are enraged anyway, because Trump had the temerity in his Ramadan message, alongside these soothing falsehoods, to mention jihad terrorism. He is supposed to toe the establishment line that […]
WaPo: Fears of Russia and of Islam destroying Western society “overblown (particularly the latter)”
What your views on Russia and Islam say about your politics… A specter is haunting Europe and the United States. Well, actually, two of them: The supposed menace of the Kremlin, meddling in the affairs of Western democracies, and the putative threat of Islam, infiltrating Western society and destroying it from within. Both visions are […]
Washington Post gives Georgetown prof Jonathan Brown platform to explain away his pro-slavery remarks
President Trump recently called the establishment media “the enemy of the American people,” and the media, enemy of the American people that it is, is predictably outraged. But here is yet another example among tens of thousands of why it deserves the moniker: after Saudi-funded Muslim Georgetown professor Jonathan A. C. Brown defended Islamic slavery […]
