“The caretaker chairman of Mafa local government area, Shettima Lawan

“Six Muslim faith schools in London are expected to be branded
inadequate today over fears that they are not preparing pupils for life
in modern Britain.” Nonsense! Nothing prepares pupils better for life in
modern Britain than intensive Islamic instruction! It is the wave of
the future for Abject, Subjugated Britannia. “‘Trojan Horse’ fear over
[…]

Will the fight against the Islamic State succeed in saving Islam? The

the Islamic State have thus far ignored the Qur’anic justifications for
their actions, and declined to address […]

Last night I spoke at a New Hampshire synagogue for the excellent group
NH4Israel. The topic was “Is the Islamic State Islamic? And Why It
