“If
you really want to protect Americans from ISIS, you secure the southern
border.” Oh come now. That would be racist. Better to get beheaded or
blown up in a jihad attack than that, right? “JW Confirms: 4 ISIS
Terrorists Arrested in Texas in Last 36 Hours,” Judicial Watch, October
8, 2014: Islamic terrorists have […]

A
medical student? Doesn’t Tarik Hassane know that poverty causes
terrorism? I trust that John Kerry is jetting over to London now to talk
to this young man and explain to him how he is misunderstanding Islam.
“Dramatic moment anti-terror police arrested medical student dubbed The
Surgeon over alleged ISIS-plot to attack Britain – in […]

Islamic
antisemitism: increasingly open, virulent, and violent, both in Europe
and the U.S., while law enforcement and government officials wring their
hands over “Islamophobia.” “Jewish Leader Attacked at Brooklyn Nets
Game by Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators,” by Gabe Friedman, Jewish Daily
Forward, October 8, 2014 (thanks to golem bar): The Jewish leader of a
Brooklyn community center […]

Here
is Sam Harris’s response to the Maher/Affleck brouhaha (in which he was
involved, of course) about which I wrote here. The full quote that I
shortened for the headline on this post is: “My criticism of Islam is a
criticism of beliefs and their consequences—but my fellow liberals
reflexively view it as an expression […]

“Do
not refer to terrorists as ‘jihadis,’” the manual states. “This only
emboldens them and gives them a legitimate status in the eyes of the
vulnerable. Terrorism is not jihad. Jihad is a noble concept in Islam.”
Here again we see the utterly false assumption that Muslims look to
non-Muslims for their legitimacy. There is […]

“It
is documented the al-Qaeda handlers of the 9/11 suicide pilots had
urged them to dwell on passages in the Koran in which God promises to
‘cast terror into the hearts of those who are bent on denying the truth;
strike, then, their necks!’ But some scholars have pointed out that the
Old Testament is […]

Once
again the Israeli press frames the problem wrongly — to be sure, this
is a malady that it shares with the international media. The rioters on
the Temple Mount were not rioting because they were Arab. I highly doubt
that there were any Christian Arabs among them. They were rioting
because they were Muslims, […]

First,
a clarification: I am not saying that Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris are
actually Catholics, or have any interest in being Catholics. What I am
saying is that a commitment to the truth, whatever it may be and
wherever it may lead, is or ought to be a hallmark of the Catholic
faith, as […]

“Meanwhile,
there have also been protests in London against the UK launching
airstrikes on the Islamic State’s positions in Iraq.” Why does the
Islamic State enjoy so much support among Muslims in the UK and Germany,
if what it does is completely un-Islamic? While the condemnations
continue to rain down upon its head, none of […]

“On
his part, Abba Demian, bishop of Germany, said that he didn’t expect
such attack against a church in Germany.” Well, he should expect many
more such attacks, for the “peaceful coexistence” that he and his
colleagues assumed would be the hallmark of their relationship with
Muslims in Germany is steadily going to unravel under […]
