Where
did he get this idea? Was any effort made by the Muslims in Canada who
converted him to Islam to explain to him that Islam was a Religion of
Peace and Tolerance? Or did they themselves give him this understanding
of Islam? Authorities ought to be investigating these questions, but
they probably aren’t, as […]

Remember:
Christians in the West are not to speak of such things. To do so would
harm the “dialogue”: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the
atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the
positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our
inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman
Catholic Bishop […]

Shaidle’s comment on this appalling piece is excellent: “I would die
before I would repeat those words under any circumstances. And yes,
there is a ‘peaceful verse for every violent one.’ However, Muslims use
abrogation to decide which verses are more authoritative. The later
violent (‘sword’) verses cancel out the earlier, peaceful ones. ‘The […]

Turan
Dursun was “a former mufti and imam and an open critic of Islam who
fought for a freer and more humane world despite pressures from the
state, the public, and even his own father, whose dream was to see him
become a devoted cleric.” He lived in Turkey. He was, as was tragically
predictable, […]

Jocelyne
Cesari is “senior research fellow at the Berkley Center for Religion,
Peace and World Affairs at Georgetown University, and director of the
Islam in the West Program at Harvard University.” In this piece she
epitomizes what is wrong with academic discourse about Islam today: she
doesn’t even mention the blazingly obvious reason for “the […]

A
jihad attack? On the border? Why, those feds are racist Islamophobes! I
thought those bigots had all been purged from law enforcement and
intelligence agencies! “Imminent Terrorist Attack Warning By Feds on US
Border,” Judicial Watch, August 29, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of […]

Riotous. Watch it all.

Over
at Catholic Answers I clear away another set of detours, diversions and
deceptions: Catholic apologists keep very busy clearing up common
misconceptions about the Faith: explaining how the Church’s teaching,
practice, and history are misunderstood—or willfully misrepresented—by
its opponents. Islam, too, has its apologists. They also claim that many
critiques of the Muslim religion […]

They’re
misunderstanding Islam early and often in Europe these days, and the
new and noxious legitimization of anti-Semitism (in the guise of
opposition to Israel) has given rise to mass murder plots of this kind.
And there will be more. “Two Teenage Girls Arrested Over French
Synagogue Suicide Bomb Plot,” by Madeline Grant, Newsweek, August […]

This
piece was written by a Hindu human rights activist who has seen the
devastation of jihad in India. Warning: extremely graphic images at the
link. “ISIS beheading children and women (after stripping naked)
-parallels Hindu Story,” Satya Blog, August 26, 2014: From the advent of
Islam, it is the brutality that was used to […]

That
pays for a lot of knives, guns and bombs. We all know that what they do
has nothing to do with Islam, but it looks as if these misunderstanders
of Islam are going to be around for awhile. “ISIS makes more than $2
million daily in oil sales,” Al Arabiya, August 28, 2014: Militants […]
