While
world leaders and mainstream media commentators continue to insist that
Boko Haram, the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and
Jihad, have nothing to do with Islam, the only people not to have gotten
the memo are the members of Boko Haram itself. “Massacre survivor
describes Nigerian terrorists,” CNN, May 10, […]

Fiyaz
Mughal has long since been exposed as a liar: Andrew Gilligan reported
in the Telegraph last year that Tell Mama, a group headed by Fiyaz
Mughal, was not going to “have its government grant renewed after police
and civil servants raised concerns about its methods.” What was wrong
with its methods? It had “claimed […]

Even
in post-Morsi Egypt, Sharia sensibilities are still strong enough to
lead to this arrest. Gay rights organizations, meanwhile, are still
nowhere when it comes to speaking out against Sharia oppression of gays.
They’d much rather denounce Pamela Geller and me for doing so. “Six
homosexuals tried in Egypt for organising gay party,” AGI, May […]

In
Muslim countries, it’s only natural that one should conform one’s
behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, it’s
only natural that one should conform one’s behavior to Islamic
sensibilities. Got it? “Italy: Three young women fined for wearing
bikinis In the presence of Muslim boys,” Blazing Cat Fur, May 10, 2014: A
local […]

They
got the stiff sentences because at the party were women unrelated to
them, and alcohol. These things are forbidden in Sharia — all forms of
Sharia. The Saudis enforce these laws, obviously, while in most areas of
the Islamic world Sharia is not fully in force. But the idea that there
are other versions […]

“Faheem
Younus is the Baltimore president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA
and a senior fellow at the Hoffberger Center for Professional Ethics at
the University of Baltimore.” Here he offers a reassuring piece,
starting off with a petty and gratuitous little slap at Pamela Geller
and me, claiming that Boko Haram, that is, the […]

Barack
Obama pronounced al-Qaeda near death in 2012. Now the U.S. is closing
its embassy in Yemen indefinitely because of al-Qaeda. Most Americans,
however, have no idea of how spectacularly Obama’s foreign policy has
failed, because the mainstream media indefatigably refuses to tell them.

This
is the leadership that America has in these dark days. And the days are
going to get darker, because this is the quality of the leadership we
have. “Kerry Slams Boko Haram Jihadists For Not Offering…A Health Care
Plan,” by Leah Barkoukis, Town Hall, May 5, 2014 (thanks to Patrick):
Abubakar Shekau, the leader […]

Here
is the tolerant West at its most suicidal: after Ali Jaffari was
charged with attempted child-stealing, “Magistrate Ron Saines said if he
was hearing the matter, he would have reasonable doubt, citing
‘cultural differences’ as one factor, which would result in the charges
being dismissed.” Jaffari is “an Afghan refugee, was convicted in
Geelong […]

We’re
constantly told in the West that only greasy Islamophobes think that
the Islamic concept of jihad has anything to do with violence, so how
did this Muslim from Australia get the idea that jihad had something to
do with guns and warfare? Mainstream analysts never ponder the
implications of what people like Ahmed Shaheed […]
