This
is a good, common-sense decision: there should be one legal code that
applies to all citizens, with no special rights for particular groups or
parallel legal systems. Introducing parallel systems inevitably leads
to a conflict of authority between the two legal codes, as we are
beginning to see, and will soon see much more […]

Last
month, the Imam Husham al-Husainy used the Qur’ans burned at the
Karbalaa Center to call for Sharia restrictions on the freedom of
speech. Now it turns out that the Qur’ans were burned by Ali Hassan
Al-Assadi, a Muslim who was angry with people at the local mosques and
says he burned the Qur’ans in retribution. […]

This
is yet another indication of the thuggish inhumanity of Leftists and
Islamic supremacists, who gleefully treat those whom they hate as if
they have no rights they are bound to respect, and set about to destroy
their reputations with the most outrageous of libels, while heaping
abuse upon them and then congratulating each other […]

Over
at Real Clear Religion today I discuss the New York Times’
fantasy-based and ahistorical attempt to dismiss the legitimacy of the
new Islamic State caliphate. The more people reject the legitimacy of
the caliphate, the better, but doing so on false pretenses doesn’t
accomplish anything but — here again — deceiving non-Muslims into
complacency. […]

Here
again we see Islamic clerics denouncing the Islamic State’s declaration
of the caliphate as un-Islamic while making claims that are frankly and
openly ahistorical and contrary to the Qur’an — thereby raising the
question of whether their opposition to this new caliphate is genuine,
or whether it is designed simply to lull non-Muslims into […]

That
anyone, even the Iranian regime, could believe that Netanyahu and the
Israelis want to see Iraq engulfed in civil war, with Sunni jihadists
trying to reestablish the caliphate, only shows the strength and
persistence of anti-Semitic conspiracy paranoia. But as far as Islamic
supremacists are concerned, if something is going wrong, it must be […]

The
title of caliph, Qaradawi said, “can ‘only be given by the entire
Muslim nation’ not by a single group.” Yet that is completely
ahistorical. The title of caliph has never in Islamic history been
“given by the entire Muslim nation.” Caliphates have always been
established by a single group that had the military might […]

This
is from last Friday on my regular weekly Jihad Watch segment on
Michael’s Sun TV show. Video thanks to AlohaSnackbar01, who summarizes
the topics: 1) Fourteen centuries of Muslim occupation and oppression of
the Copts of Egypt. 2) The caliphate in Syria and Iraq, and the
re-imposition of the jizya – the Muslim tax […]

“His
choice of accessory, which is believed to be either a Rolex, Sekonda or
£3,500 Omega seamaster, has been highlighted as jarring with the
content of his controversial speech.” So says Oliver Duggan in the
Telegraph. The New York Post quoted a Muslim calling the caliph a
hypocrite: “Why does the ‘Caliph’ wear a fancy […]
