Surely
Muslim leaders in the West who know that Islam preaches peace and
tolerance are jetting to Somalia right now, in order to explain to the
leaders of Al Shabab that jihad is peaceful and benign, and that Islam
respects Christians as the People of the Book, and that jihadists would
never attack churches. Aren’t […]

“A
car bomb outside an alcohol shop in an ethnically-mixed northern Iraqi
city has killed at least seven people.” Why did it do it? What crazy
idea did the car bomb get into its head that made it want to murder
people in an ethnically mixed northern Iraqi city? Or was their someone
who actually […]

Islamic
jihadists are apparently able to operate with complete impunity in
Nigeria, with government and law enforcement officials either unable to
stop them or, because they share their worldview, unwilling to do so.
“Officials: Another explosion in Jos, Nigeria,” Associated Press, May
24, 2014: JOS, Nigeria (AP) — A bungled bomb killed three people,
including […]

Jihad
against 7/11. But fear not: no “Islamophobia” was committed. “Bomb
blasts in Thailand’s restive deep south kill three, hurt dozens ,”
Associated Press, May 24, 2014: AT LEAST three people have been killed
and 55 injured in a spate of bombing attacks in crisis-wracked
Thailand’s deep south, where an Islamic insurgency has raged for […]

Note
yet again the lack of any acting agent in the PTI report: whenever
Islamic jihadists are the perpetrators, the mainstream media does its
best to obscure that fact by removing all mention of who actually did
the deed. And so we hear that seven were killed in blasts, but not who
set them off. […]

Islamic
jihadists are able to operate with relative impunity in Nigeria,
Somalia, and, apparently, Yemen. They could only do this if they enjoyed
friends and supporters in high places — people who believe that what
they’re doing in the name of Islam is good and right. “Al-Qaeda gunmen
storm Yemeni city; 27 killed,” by Mohammed […]

Why
aren’t all the Muslim spokesmen in the West, who claim that Islam has
no death penalty for apostasy, such as Harris Zafar, Mustafa Akyol,
Salam al-Marayati, M. Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz (among many
others), jetting to Khartoum now to explain to Sudanese authorities that
they are misunderstanders of Islam and must release Meriam […]

“The
enemy can now access everywhere,” said MP Mohamed Nor. In Somalia as in
Nigeria, the Islamic jihadists can apparently strike at will, with the
government powerless to stop them. Another similarity between these two
countries is that al-Shabab, like Boko Haram, is an avowedly Islamic
group that proudly and unapologetically explains its motives and […]

The
Egyptian government is moving against the Muslim Brotherhood, but that
doesn’t mean that it is jettisoning all vestiges of Sharia and adopting
the freedom of speech that is a hallmark of a free and pluralistic
society. Even as Sharia is not fully enforced, its provisions are known
and respected by millions of Egyptians, resulting […]

He
was released after a Muslim mob arrived at the police station and
threatened to burn it down. Clearly they thought that the idea of a
Muslim being charged for stabbing a Jew was offensive and unacceptable.
But remember: to point out how deeply embedded anti-Semitism is in
Islamic teaching and culture is “Islamophobic.” “Masked […]
