If
a Muslim had given a Christian coworker a book about Islam, do you
think he or she would have been suspended for nine months for
“bullying”? No, I don’t, either. Proselytizing for Christianity is not
illegal in Britain. It is only illegal under Islamic law. The
anxiousness of British officials to appease and accommodate […]

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 […]

This
is right on the money, as 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.” (New York Times, April
28, 2013) “Moderate Syrian Rebel Application Form,” by Andy […]

In
PJ Media today I explore the latest in willful ignorance and myopia: In
Nigeria, Syria, Iraq, Kenya, Somalia and elsewhere, Islamic jihadists
are more aggressive and audacious than ever – but the denial about who
they are and what they hope to accomplish is thicker than ever.
Counter-jihadists are in the position reminiscent of […]

After
years of denial, Sami Al-Arian pleaded guilty to a charge of
“conspiracy to make or receive contributions of funds to or for the
benefit of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Specially Designated Terrorist”
organization. He agreed to accept deportation. In his 2002 defense of
Al-Arian, Eric Boehlert wrote: “The al-Arian story reveals what happens
when […]

“There
are talks going on currently between Sudanese and American officials to
try to find a way for Mariam and her family to leave the country.”
Maybe Sudanese officials will settle for a bit of jizya in lieu of her
head. The honor of Islam would thereby be preserved, even if she were
released. “U.S. […]

The
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), aka the Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria (ISIS), envisions a caliphate encompassing not just Iraq
and Syria, but Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, Cyprus, and parts of Turkey.
“Amman on high alert fearing ISIS attacks,” AGI, June 28, 2014 (thanks
to C. Cantoni): (AGI) Maan, June 28 […]

The
moral calculus of Boko Haram, the Congregation of the People of the
Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, is easy to parse: working in or frequenting a
brothel is un-Islamic, but blowing up a brothel and murdering ten
people is pleasing to Allah. But where did they get this idea? Could it
have been from […]

It
seems that the Sudanese authorities are trying to contrive ways to get
her back into prison and duly executed, while escaping the international
criticism that has come their way for following Sharia rules regarding
apostasy and adultery that have victimized countless numbers of people
over the years who did not have the good fortune […]

“But
just what is ‘racist’ about bribery?,” asks Al Arabiya — or about
investigating bribery? This bizarre response from Qatar to charges that
it bought the right to host the 2022 World Cup shows the hollowness of
the charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia” that are constantly leveled
at counter-jihadists. Just as there is nothing racist […]
