Natana DeLong-Bas It is not surprising considering that this event took place at John Esposito's Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU). But cut Esposito and his Center some slack: they hadn't scheduled the Nazi speaker because he was a Nazi, but because he is a defender of...

Stories like this reveal the endgame of the hysteria about "Islamophobia" that Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Reza Aslan's Aslan Media keep trying to whip up. They'd like nothing better than to see the imposition of "hate speech" laws that would...

Pope Francis with Eastern Church leaders from Syria and Iraq But what is he going to do about it? As Joseph Stalin once contemptuously asked, "How many divisions does the Pope have?" And if he keeps talking about the plight of Middle Eastern Christians, he is likely to run...

[Via RaymondIbrahim.com, where all links appear] The worst Christian massacre—complete with mass graves, tortured-to-death women and children, and destroyed churches—recently took place in Syria, at the hands of the U.S.-supported jihadi “rebels”; and the U.S. government and its “mainstream media” mouthpiece are, as usual, silent. The massacre took place in...

"Headteacher Lynn Small wrote to parents and said if kids did not attend a 'racial discrimination note' would be made on the pupil’s records and would remain there for their school careers." In other words, their futures would be destroyed. That's how important it is to the dhimmi British...

Lord Pearson Baroness Warsi's argument is extremely common and extremely disingenuous. The West Wing scene is clever, but ultimately hollow: both Judaism and Christianity have developed interpretative traditions that have in various ways moved away from the literal interpretation of the cited Biblical passages. Among Muslims, by contrast, there are...

By that they mean stonings, amputations, the execution of apostates, the denial of free speech, etc. Only in the West do Muslim spokesmen pretend that Sharia has no particular character and can be implemented in any number of ways. "TTP vows to continue struggle until Shariah governs Pakistan," from...

Al-Azhar is the foremost institution in Sunni Islam. The Sheikh of Al-Azhar has dedicated his life to studying the Qur'an and Islam. How has he come to repeat the venomous slurs of greasy Islamophobes, rather than the Qur'an's true message of peace, tolerance and love? "Sheik of Al-Azhar Ahmad...

Our friends and allies the Pakistanis continue to avenge themselves against this man who helped the U.S. find bin Laden. "Dr Shakil Afridi, who helped CIA hunt OBL, charged with murder," from the Associated Press, November 22 (thanks to Lookmann): ISLAMABAD: The lawyer for Dr Shakil Afridi who helped...

Joseph Zaalishvili intervews the Deputy Minister of Interior Affairs of Israel, Knesset Member Mrs. Faina Kirshenbaum. Joseph Zaalishvili: Ms. Kirshenbaum, how do you feel about the upcoming agreement to the lifting of economic sanctions on Iran's nuclear program?

One of them said, as you can see in the video above, "We've come to spread the Sharia of Allah...and we've come to kill anyone who comes in our way." Where did he get this understanding of jihad and Sharia -- one that Muslim organizations in the U.S. claim...

Advertisements for Myselfby Ibn Warraq I am forced to address a problem that I have ignored for many years. There are many unscrupulous people on the Internet -- on chat rooms, Twitter, and, above all, Facebook -- pretending to be Ibn Warraq, speaking as Ibn Warraq, making comments and analyses...

And yet the dominant view in the West, the one that guides public policy, is that Jaman and others like him, despite their devotion to Islam, have drastically misunderstood and twisted its teachings, and that there is no doctrine of warfare against Infidels in Islam. Indeed, I was banned...

The idea of punishing the rape victim comes straight from the Sharia. Allah gave Muhammad a revelation requiring four male witnesses to establish such a crime: “And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony, they...
