Why
we don’t see more genuine Muslim reformers, part 37,950: “Ayatollah
Tortured, Near Death, in Iran for Criticizing Political Islam,” by Shadi
Paveh for the Gatestone Institute, February 5 (thanks to Pamela
Geller): Ayatollah Hossein-Kazamani Boroujerdi, a senior member of the
Shiite Muslim clergy, is presently serving the eighth year of an 11-year
sentence handed […]

The
chap pictured above is Mr. Universal K. Allah, suspect in the theft of
this violin. (His middle name is Knowledge.) This story has nothing to
do with jihad, as far as I know, but I couldn’t help but wonder, as I
pondered this gentleman’s marvelous name, if Allah, frustrated over
Muhammad’s failure to do […]

“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 “Fatah
Central Committee Member Rajoub to Iranian TV: Armed […]

The
concept of “Iranophobia” is absurd, but that didn’t stop the purveyors
of the concept of “Islamophobia.” And meanwhile, the “Zionist regime” is
indeed angry over the nuclear deal, because it understands how
disastrous the concessions that the U.S. made to Iran really are.
“Rouhani accuses foes of seeking to spread ‘Iranaphobia,’” from the
Jerusalem […]

Ya
Rab: Jihad Against Terrorism is “a bold film on myths about Quran”;
filmmaker Ajaz Khan says that he made it in order to show how the “Quran
has been misinterpreted to give birth to terrorism.” That sounds like
something that every Muslim individual and group that professes to
reject jihad terrorism should support, but […]

Here
yet again we see Muslims who were not particularly religious and living
relatively ordinary lives growing more religious and then turning to
jihad. Yet religion is the one aspect of their motivation that British
authorities, like their American counterparts, have forbidden themselves
to examine. “What drove a British estate agent and his maths tutor […]

This
extraordinary article explains exactly why it is unwise and ultimately
self-defeating for Catholic leaders (and Christian leaders in general)
to engage in “interfaith dialogue” with Muslim leaders without knowing
much of anything about Islam, or, for that matter, about the goals for
the dialogue of their Muslim counterparts. The author, William
Kilpatrick, author of […]

A
few years ago, David Horowitz and I challenged the major Muslim
organizations in the U.S. to repudiate this genocidal hadith. None
would, and the few who commented at all offered nothing more than the
usual propaganda about “taking it out of context,” implying that only
greasy Islamophobes understood such passages as having an applicability
[…]

So
Britain bans Pamela Geller and me from entering the country, even
though we have never advocated anything but the freedom of speech, the
freedom of conscience, and equality of rights for all people. The letter
to me from the UK Home Office said that I was being banned for saying
that Islam has a […]

In
FrontPage this morning I discuss how First Things and National Review
turn a blind eye to jihad violence and Sharia injustice. World Hijab Day
was February 1, and Princeton Professor Robert P. George marked the
occasion by publishing a piece in the Catholic journal First Things
entitled “Muslims, Our Natural Allies.” He included in […]
