Amal
Farah insists that this has nothing to do with Islam, and the Telegraph
is anxious to corroborate her claim. However, as this article notes,
Muhammad commanded: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill
him” (Bukhari 9.84.57), and the alleged “numerous verses in the Koran”
that “guarantee freedom of belief” have not prevented all the […]

“Judge
Ian McClintock queried what religious view prevented al-Ahmadzai from
standing, which Mr Hanna was unable to answer.” And so yet again we see
the indestructible and crystalline ignorance of the British regarding
Islam and jihad. Hanna wasn’t even curious enough to ask his client why
he was refusing to stand? If he had, he […]

No
one needs to be overly concerned about this. As long as no
“Islamophobia” was committed, all is well. “Al-Shabab Raids Village, at
least 39 Dead,” VOA News, May 27, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth): Nearly 40
people are dead after al-Shabab militants attacked a village on the
border between Ethiopia and Somalia. The governor of […]

This
makes sense. After all, the jihadis who infiltrate the Afghan military
and police forces will need targets. And the increasingly hostile Karzai
and his successor will need those bags of no-strings-attached CIA cash
still delivered regularly to their offices. “U.S. to keep 9,800 troops
in Afghanistan,” by Julie Pace, Associated Press, May 27, 2014: […]

“We
can’t go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back.”
That is indeed so; it is likely that the Party of the People of the
Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, a.k.a. Boko Haram, would murder the girls if
there were a rescue attempt. This is in accord with Islamic […]

At
FrontPage today I discuss the Pope’s statement that Mahmoud Abbas is a
“man of peace,” which he is just as much as the Qur’an is “opposed to
every form of violence.” AP reported Sunday that “Pope Francis delivered a powerful boost of support to the Palestinians during a Holy Land pilgrimage Sunday, repeatedly backing […]

Muslims
commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law
certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University,
the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is
obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally
and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a […]

The
story says that he is going to authorize training of “moderate Syrian
rebels.” The problem with this is that there is no significant
Western-oriented or pluralist force among the Syrian rebels. Even the
New York Times acknowledged this, over a year ago: “Nowhere in
rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of.”
