Circumcision:
“Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off
the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but
circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this
is called khufaadh 'female circumcision']).” — ‘Umdat al-Salik e4.3,
translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. […]

“For
me to have the Shahada flag, as it’s called, that’s a flag that I stand
and live and die for and I don’t stand and live and die for the
Australian flag.” So says Wissam Haddad. But Tony Abbott says: “My
position is that everyone has got to be on Team Australia.” One of […]

Last
November, Pope Francis wrote that “authentic Islam and the proper
reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”
Unfortunately for him and for the world at large, so many Muslims have
misunderstood their own religion that now he is emphasizing that it is
“licit to stop the unjust aggressor.” Pope Francis […]

The
Huffington Post does not deign to mention the point of the rally, which
was to support Israel and persecuted religious minorities. It doesn’t
say anything about how this was the first rally of its kind: the first
to bring together the disparate victims of jihad terror and Islamic
supremacism, presenting a common front in […]

“Hamas’
takeover of the UNRWA institutions and UNRWA staff should set off
alarms regarding the possibility of funding given by donor countries —
primarily the United States — finding its way to financing the salaries
of Hamas and Islamic Jihad activists.” Yep. “Report: Hamas Jihad fully
controls UN agency for Palestinians refugees,” World Tribune, August […]

Afghanistan
is 99% Muslim and is the home of the Taliban, the “Students,” who call
themselves that because they are students of Islam. The Sikhs in
Afghanistan have been persecuted and continue to be vulnerable to
Islamic jihadists. Islamic supremacists in the West, meanwhile, attempt
to co-opt the Sikhs into their victimhood narrative (which is […]

And
they’re just getting warmed up. “Islamic State desecrated 45 churches
in Mosul, says Christian aid organization,” MCN, August 17, 2014: The
mission of Aid to the Church in Need organization went to northern Iraq
to provide assistance and support to all displaced Christians. The
mission experienced the suffering of hundreds living in tents where […]

Why
didn’t they rise up en masse and cry out, “Islam is a Religion of
Peace! You extremists are hijacking our religion!”? Why didn’t they cast
this pro-Islamic State preacher out of the mosque and replace him with a
moderate? “Mosque-Goers Pledge Allegiance to ISIS Leader Abu Bakr
Al-Baghdadi following Sermon in Al-Raqqah, Syria, MEMRI, […]

How
quickly Great Britain is descending into darkness. Those who have been
appointed to defend her are the ones most responsible for their nation’s
certain future of chaos and violence. And the British intelligentsia,
as they head to their own destruction and that of their nation, will
congratulate themselves that they didn’t give way to […]

This
is the coalition we need: all those who face jihad terror and Islamic
supremacism need to stand together. And so our AFDI rally yesterday was
groundbreaking. Here is Pamela Geller’s account: Today was an historic
day. For the first time, defenders of Israel and representatives of
minorities persecuted by Islamic jihadists from around the […]

Supporters of the “terrorist” Muslim Brotherhood group, report Egyptian media, set fire to a butcher shop Saturday
evening in Aim Shams, a suburb in Cairo. The reason for this latest
Brotherhood arson attack is that the owner of the shop objected to one
of the Brotherhood’s protests. Three of the Brotherhood’s supporters
were detained by […]

The
message here, of course, is that terrorism works. Violent intimidation
works. Thuggery works. This is just the opposite message of the one that
should be sent, but what do you expect? It’s Absurd and Subjugated
Britannia. “Sainsbury’s strips kosher food from its shelves over fear of
attacks by anti-Israeli protesters picketing as Gaza demonstrators […]
