Is
Daniel Greenfield the most brilliant individual in America today? A
strong case can be made. “Moderate Islam Is Multiculturalism
Misspelled,” by Daniel Greenfield, FrontPage Mag, September 2, 2014: I
have been searching for moderate Islam since September 11 and just like a lost sock in the dryer, it was in the last place I […]

The
dignity of all human beings? Kerry ignores the fact that the hadith he
cites is restricted to Muslim treatment of other Muslims, per the
command of the Qur’an itself: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those
who follow him are merciful to one another, but harsh to the
unbelievers” (48:29). The sharp dichotomy between […]

Don
Morgan is a convert to Islam; his Muslim name is apparently Nassar
Abdul-Rahim, but true to the unanimous practice of the mainstream media,
NBC doesn’t use it here. He says: “I would not classify myself as a
radical, but by western definition I would be classified as a radical. I
just consider myself to […]

Not
only the Islamic State, but also Saudi Arabia, a kingdom that loudly
proclaims its absolute fidelity to the Qur’an and Islamic law, regularly
performs beheadings. Why so many misunderstanders of Islam? In this
piece in Aleteia, Fr. Dwight Longenecker claims that it all comes from a
misinterpretation of Qur’an 8:12: “Remember when your Lord […]

“The
Islamic State exists and it will exist and it will expand with the help
of Allah. Your throne is already shaking. It is in danger and it will
collapse when we get to you. We are on the way with Allah’s permission.’
As I said, one thing is certain: the Islamic State will continue […]

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 […]

“There
are 2.5 billion Christians in the world,” Bayraktar said. “Christianity
is no longer a religion. It’s a culture now. But that is not what a
religion is like. A religion teaches; it is a form of life that gives
one peace and happiness. That is what they want to turn [Islam] into as
well.” […]

Heh.
Ben Rhodes is Obama’s deputy national security adviser. And it is good
of him to admit the obvious, that the Obama Administration is ready to
take action against counter-terrorism. And it already has:Obama

bases in Syria,” Independent.ie, August 23, 2014: Mr R […]

Remember
a few years back when some company was found to have put Biblical
quotes on gunstocks it sold to the U.S. military — even just a few
months ago the Islamic supremacist apologist Mubin Shaikh used that in a
debate with me on Michael Medved’s radio show to claim that the
misadventure in Iraq […]

I’m
a frequent guest on Peter Boyles’s show on 710 KNUS in Denver, but this
morning’s show was particularly good, as Peter and I discussed how Iraq
came to be dominated by the Islamic State, the Bush and Obama policies
that led to this debacle, and what is likely to happen now. If you only

The
article, as you may have guessed, doesn’t actually consider whether or
not Muhammad ever existed. The real article is entitled, “5 reasons to
suspect that Jesus never existed,” by Valerie Tarico, and was published
in Salon on September 1, 2014. It’s a ridiculously counter-factual piece
of the type that frequently appears in Salon: it […]

Of course he did, and no one there would have dared ask him about his
loyalties, or investigate him in any way, because to have done so would
have been “Islamophobic.” We can be grateful that he didn’t decide to
wage jihad right there at the Minneapolis Airport, but our luck may not
always […]

The
thing is, he says “we will not be intimidated,” but the American
government and military establishment is already intimidated, and Obama
himself has been a chief agent of that intimidation. He shows that he is
intimidated when he makes the wild and ridiculous claim that the
Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, […]

And
it’s none other than my old pal Omid Safi, a key poster boy for the low
standards, ideological authoritarianism, and pro-jihad lockstep of the
Middle East Studies academic establishment. Safi is a viciously
dishonest and unapologetically mendacious pseudo-academic of
extraordinarily low character, whose propaganda masquerading as
scholarship stands out for its ugly pro-jihad stance […]

Many
people have speculated over the years as to what is the glue that binds
together the strange alliance between atheist Leftists and Islamic
supremacists. I think it is a shared distaste for the freedom of speech
and dissent, and a common tendency toward authoritarianism. But stories
like this suggest that it is also a […]

As
Muhammad said, “War is deceit.” Note that Rouhani denounces “the
baseless Islamophobic and Iranophobic campaigns by the Zionist regime.”
People are suspicious of Islamic jihadists and the Iranian mullahs
because of a Jewish conspiracy, doncha know. “Iran and Islam not
associated with violence: Rouhani,” Tehran Times, September 2, 2014:
TEHRAN – Iranian President Hassan […]

This
witless moral equivalence is common among Leftists, and demonstrates
that they have no idea what life in the Islamic State is really like, or
what kind of threat it poses to the U.S. Backtracking after his initial
tweet, Smith explained: “I am not saying that the Republican Party is
beheading people in the streets, […]
