UK convert to Islam: “I can’t love my mum because she’s not Muslim”

This is straight out of the Qur’an, which says that Abraham gives an “excellent example” to Muslims when he tells his pagan family that there is now “enmity and hatred” between them and him until they worship Allah alone (60:4). And: “O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as […]

Russia considering UN action on protecting Middle East Christians

Catholic Diocese of Sacramento: CAIR claims on Robert Spencer cancellation are false

The Hamas-linked terror organization the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) launched a new website last month, boasting in its daily mailing that the site was meant to marginalize foes of jihad terror: “This means that when someone who may think an Islamophobe is a legitimate speaker and searches for the person on the Internet, they […]

Muslim Brotherhood reportedly fabricating sex tapes to stir trouble in Egypt

Mohammed Tawfiq, a former leader of the Construction and Development party, recently asserted that the Muslim Brotherhood—which is banned as a terrorist organization in Egypt, Russia, Syria, and Saudi Arabia—has been using “porn actresses to stir up discord between Muslims and Christians ahead of November 28.”  This is the date that Egypt’s Salafis have designated as […]

Raymond Ibrahim: Is Russia Banning Islam?

[via Frontpage Mag] Russia appears to be taking serious moves to combat the “radicalization” of Muslims within its border. Recent pro-Islamic reports are complaining that Russia is banning the Islamic hijab—the headdress Islamic law requires Muslim women to wear—and, perhaps even more decisively, key Islamic scriptures, on the charge that they incite terrorism. In the words […]

Democracy’s slow extinction

Democracy’s Slow Extinction by Michael Devolin “The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.” — Robert Maynard Hutchins, 1954 It would be no small feat to pinpoint when, exactly, Western journalists and politicians began losing their grip on reality. […]

Two Americans charged with supporting the Islamic State

We see Muslims from the U.S. and all over the West joining the Islamic State. This is because of the appeal of the idea of the caliphate — but Washington analysts are not allowed, as a matter of Obama Administration policy, to examine such matters too closely, for that could lead to “Islamophobia.” “Two Americans […]

Iran: Death sentence upheld for man who insulted Muhammad on Facebook

This kind of assault on the freedom of speech would never happen in the free West. If Soheil Arabi insulted Muhammad in the United States, he would just be rebuked for his “bigotry” and “intolerance,” and held up as an example of how racism is still pandemic in American society. There would be head-shaking articles […]

Spain: Ex-Muslim to be deported to Muslim country for criticizing Islam

He will, of course, be killed as soon as he arrives in a Muslim country. But Spanish officials seem so desperate to appease their increasingly aggressive Muslim population by enforcing Sharia blasphemy restrictions upon the freedom of speech that they are willing to sacrifice Imran Firasat’s life. “Firasat also pointed to the irony of his […]

Muslims scream “Allahu akbar” from mosques as Islamic State blows up church

But…but…surely the peaceful, tolerant moderates — vetted or no — remonstrated with those who were screaming “Allahu akbar” and reminded them that the Qur’an teaches peace and respect for the People of the Book, didn’t they? Didn’t they? Anyway, Bishop Kevin would say something about this, but the “Muslim-Christian dialogue” meeting is tonight, and Imam […]

Bangladesh pol arrested for offending Muslims, Muslim group demands his death

If he lived in the West, Abdul Latif Siddique wouldn’t have been arrested. He would just have been excoriated as a racist, bigoted Islamophobe, and shunned by the political and media elites. We are, in other words, significantly more open to the freedom of speech and freedom of inquiry than is Bangladesh. “Bangladesh Politician Detained […]

UK jihadi: “What a shoddy security system Britain must have to allow me to breeze through Europe to the Islamic State”

“There is a war taking place around the world, there is a conflict between those who believe sovereignty belongs to God and those who believe sovereignty belongs to man.” No. There is a war taking place around the world, but it is actually a conflict between those who believe sovereignty belongs to men who claim […]

Islamic State developing “colonies,” gaining credibility among jihadists

For the caliphate, now as throughout history, might makes right. The longer the Islamic State lasts, the more loyalty it will win among Muslims. We have already seen Muslims from the West traveling in record numbers to join it in Iraq and Syria. That will continue and increase, as long as the Islamic State continues […]

Pakistan: Bollywood actress Veena Malik gets 26 years for blasphemy

“In the episode, Veena was seen dancing with her husband while a group of Sufi musicians sang a devotional song about the wedding of the Prophet’s daughter.” That was it. Twenty-six years in prison for that, apparently because she was dancing while a devotional song was being sung. Nonetheless, “she says her faith in the […]
