You would almost think that it wasn’t a Religion of Peace at all, but
that would be “Islamophobic.” “Iran TV airs cleric’s threats to raze Tel
Aviv, target US bases,” by Justin Jalil, Times of Israel, November 16,
2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller): In a sermon carried on state TV, an
Iranian cleric threatened that […]

In PJ Media today, I discuss entrenched false beliefs that lead to
repeated foreign policy errors: Presidents come and presidents go, but
the State Department’s foreign policy establishment is forever. And no
matter how many times its remedies fail to heal problems (and usually
cause worse ones), it keeps on applying them, without an ounce […]

This is because the U.S. does nothing in these prisons to try to change
the mindset of the prisoners. The guards treat the Qur’an, which is of
course distributed to all the prisoners, with exaggerated reverence. Any
attempt to change their way of thinking would immediately be denounced
by groups such as the terrorist organization […]

Female jihad-martyrdom suicide bombers are often women who have been
caught in or suspected of zina — the Islamic legal term for sexual
immorality of various kinds. They are told that they can redeem their
family’s honor and also win a place in Paradise by murdering Infidels
and getting killed in the process. “Woman suicide […]

(Editor’s note: The renowned scholar of Islam recently spoke at Yale.
Here is an outline of the talk he gave. — RS) First, I should like to
thank The William F. Buckley, Jr. Program at Yale for inviting me. I
should also like to thank my friends and colleagues whose ideas have
profoundly influenced what […]

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, which the
United Arab Emirates has just designated a terror organization, says
that the beheading of Abdul-Rahman Kassig was “anti-Islamic.” This AP
story doesn’t explain what they’re basing that claim upon, and
Hamas-linked CAIR probably didn’t explain. It could be several things.
They could be trying to get away […]

Starting last week, there have been several jihadi stabbings in Israel.
This is the latest. “Man stabbed in central Jerusalem in suspected
terrorist attack,” Haaretz, November 16, 2014: A 32-year-old man
sustained light to moderate injuries in Jerusalem
on Sunday, after being was stabbed in the back with a screwdriver. The man was stabbed on […]

I wrote this piece this morning over at PamelaGeller.com about the
deceptive and dishonest British Islamic supremacist Mehdi Hasan: Mehdi
Hasan is Britain’s answer to Reza Aslan: a mainstream media darling
whose fawning sycophants never challenge him on his numerous
misstatements and deceptive claims about Islam. He once infamously
claimed that Muslims always keep the […]

This is, of course, utter nonsense, but it has an insidious edge.
Islamic doctrine holds that any land once held by Muslims belongs by
right to Muslims forever: “Drive them out from where they drove you out”
(Qur’an 2:190). So on the basis of this claim, if it became widespread
belief (and given the corruption […]

The video is here. Warning: it is extremely graphic, and will not be up
long. If you catch it while it is still up and want to skip the
beheadings (there are many, not just of Kassig, then stop watching
around the
9:30 mark, as the beheadings are shown in full, and then Kassig’s severed […]
