There
is no perpetrator named in this story, and while it is possible that it
was not a jihad attack, Hindus in Bangladesh are under constant
pressure and live in fear of Islamic supremacists and jihadists. Even if
this temple were set on fire by “right-wing extremists,” the ongoing
low-level persecution of Hindus by Muslims […]

It
is simple common sense that soldiers who are Muslim might be hearing
from other Muslims that no non-Sharia government has any legitimacy, and
that the U.S. is the enemy of Muslims for waging war in Afghanistan and
Iraq, etc. It is simple common sense to try to determine the
allegiances and loyalties of Muslim […]

The
British officials’ reasoning here is clear: they think that jihad
terrorism is a product of ignorance and lack of opportunity, so if they
adopt Sharia-compliant loans to make it easier for Muslims to get a good
education, they will be able to stave off jihad terror, the goal of
which is to make them […]

You’d
almost think they had something to hide. But that couldn’t possibly be
true, no, could it? After all, they were democratically elected in
Egypt! Just ask Mohammed Elibiary of the Department of Homeland
Security, or Hussam Ayloush of Hamas-linked CAIR. “MB urges UK not to
proceed with probe,” from Al Arabiya, April 3 (thanks […]

One
certainty: if these monks ever did have to defend themselves against a
jihad attack, the international media would portray their defense as
Buddhist violence against Muslims, and the global “human rights
community” would issue indignant condemnations of the brutalization of
Muslims. The fact that these monks never would have been training in
this way […]

At
Breitbart I discuss the case of Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, the Army
recruit who recently declared that he was about to die in a jihad
attack, which FBI and military officials likened to the Fort Hood jihad
massacre in 2009. (I wrote this piece before the shooting at Fort Hood
yesterday, which doesn’t appear to […]

Hassan
Tabakh complains that the British government did not take his views
into account when they forced him to wear an electronic tag upon his
release from prison. It is unlikely, however, that he took the views of
the potential victims of his jihad bomb attack into account as he
prepared to murder them. Nonetheless, […]

No
doubt Robert McManus, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester,
Massachusetts, who has said that “talk about extreme, militant Islamists
and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut
the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our
inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims,” is on a plane to Abuja
right now, so as to […]

The
odd thing about this story is that while everyone is offended that Roya
Saberi Negad Nobakht could be executed in Iran for “insulting Islamic
sanctities,” in Britain (and America) it is a de facto crime to insult
Islamic sanctities. It won’t get you prison (yet), but it will get you
public abuse, insults, the […]

Alexander
is right, of course. It has been obvious for years that the Pakistanis
have been aiding the same jihadists that the U.S. government has been
giving them billions of dollars to fight. The New York Times reported on
that at length back in 2008. And recently we learned that Ahmed Shuja
Pasha, the head […]
