Here
is yet another illustration of why we don’t see more sincere Muslim
reformers. We’re constantly told that the overwhelming majority of
Muslims condemn violence and terror and abhor the violence done in
Islam’s name. So why wasn’t Mohammed Idris celebrated as a hero and
appointed to a high-level leadership position among Muslims in Kenya?

They
also forced them to turn over their passwords to their online group
calling for tolerance, and filled the page with warnings about their
“blasphemy.” The Qur’an says that “there is no compulsion in religion,”
(2:256), but what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the
beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its […]

Analysts
routinely think that attacks like this one happen because of the
conflict between Israel and the “Palestinians,” but in reality the
enmity goes much deeper than that. Hatred of Jews is deeply ingrained in
the Qur’an, which calls Jews “the most intense of the people in
animosity toward the believers” (5:82), and says that […]

The
Pakistani Taliban has friends in high places, what with Pakistan’s spy
service, the ISI, being implicated in involvement in the Mumbai jihad
attack and other jihad plots. That may be one reason why it can act with
increasing impunity. And why does it have friends in high places?
Because there are people in the […]

Here
is a fascinating glimpse of what life was like for Jews and Christians
under Ottoman rule in 1838, before the abolition of the dhimmi laws that
ensured that they would “pay the jizya with willing submission, and
feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29). “The Jews, as well as the native Christians, throughout Syria and Palestine, […]

It
was obviously of no importance whatsoever to Barack Obama that these
jihad terrorists would return to jihad in Afghanistan and try to kill
American troops there. Eli Lake says that the prospect of their killing
Bergdahl presented Obama with a “painful dilemma.” It will get more
painful once these jihadis murder a few more […]

“Planes
and command positions — all of them have fallen in addition to weapons
caches. Also prisons were stormed and criminals have been set free. What
happened is a catastrophe by any measure.” It’s a good thing that, as
Barack Obama assures us, al Qaeda is on the ropes. Imagine what they’d
be doing if […]

Jamie
Glazov has, sadly, resumed his mercurial, unpredictable ways,
unaccountably taking to the streets of El Ay in search of The Next Big
Thing, or Himself, or The Truth — whichever he may find first. He was
last seen muttering something about having planned to go on the road to
follow The Dead until he […]

This
is the world we live in: a Muslim school is found to have books
suggesting stoning and lashing as appropriate punishments because
Islamic law prescribes stoning and lashing as appropriate punishments.
British authorities, on discovering this, are shocked, because they are
bound by the Officially Mandated Cluelessness to believe that Islamic
law does not […]

Very
graphic videos recently appeared on Arabic-language media portraying
Islamic jihadis in Syria slaughtering donkeys in order to consume them.
The main point made by some of these websites is that the jihadis are
hypocrites for (again) violating Islamic law, which bans the eating of
domesticated donkeys. In the words of a fatwa, or Islamic […]
