“We
send you the greetings of Islam from the blessed lands of al-Sham. By
the grace of Allah [..] he has enabled us to enter the blessed lands.
The lands which the kuffar back home always tell you that if you plan to
reach there will be a consequence for you.” In reality, it is […]

It
is almost inconceivable that ABC Family is going to run a show that
could in any way be construed as “Islamophobic,” but Hamas-linked CAIR
is swooping in just to make sure. Never mind the fact that children
kidnapped and forced to live in Muslim countries is a real phenomenon
(cf. Not Without My Daughter, […]

Judge
Nathaniel Gorton in Boston has disallowed our revised AFDI pro-Israel.
The difference between the two ads was that the new one didn’t say
“savage,” but “those who are engaged in savage acts.” And thus the
arbitrariness and political motivations of these denials are laid bare.
At first we were denied for supposedly calling all […]

The
names Akbar Jihad Jordan and Avin Marsalis Brown sound as if they are
converts to Islam. And so here again the same question arises: where did
these newcomers to the vaunted Religion of Peace get the crazy idea
that jihad had something to do with waging war against unbelievers? Were
they involved with a […]

This
story, true to form for the mainstream media, glides rather
fastidiously over exactly what this would-be jihad murderer (Muslim name
withhold, as per standard practice) actually did: he didn’t just
“vandalize” a Jacksonville cemetery; he damaged Christian statues in it,
in a clear gesture of Islamic supremacism and contempt and hatred for
the Infidel. […]

Here
again, as in so many other cases, we see the principle reinforced:
wherever Islamic law and practice conflict with American law and
practice, it is the latter that must give way. Planet Fitness has a
dress code. It says: “No jeans, work boots, bandanas, skull caps or
revealing apparel.” Now they are being sued […]

Here
we go again. Will these guys ever think of any new material? They’re
forever being “misinterpreted,” “misunderstood,” “misquoted,” “taken out
of context” — just as it is claimed of anyone who ever quotes the
uncomfortable verses of the Qur’an that he or she is taking them out of
context or misunderstanding them. Mohammad Naseem’s […]

UPDATE:
In damage control mode, Reza Aslan tweeted this: Dear @CNN. U misquoted
me. I said Noah story barely 40 verses not 4. Pls fix. Costello: Is
‘Noah’ film sacred enough? http://t.co/UQ7wkFgqf6
— Reza Aslan (@rezaaslan) March 20, 2014 Wrong again: it’s not “barely
40 verses,” it’s 89. Poor Reza! He keeps getting “misquoted”! First […]

UPDATE:
I just arrived in southern California for the David Horowitz Freedom
Center’s weekend conference, after leading an all-day private seminar
yesterday in San Francisco, and see that Robert Mackey has revised his
piece. The passage in which he claimed that I said that Captain Zaharie
was a suicide bomber now reads this way: “That […]

This
New York Times story contains the revelation that the head of
Pakistan’s spy service knew where Osama bin Laden was hiding, posted
here yesterday. It is also important, however, to note that reporter
Carlotta Gall also recounts her visit to one of the madrasa that the
Taliban run. The deputy head of the madrasa […]
