The Muslima who murdered an American at a mall in Abu Dhabi was
arrested in her home. Pope Francis and John Kerry and others say we need

hunger and poverty. Would this woman have been turned away from jihad
if she had, say, […]

Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are a massive occasion for human rights
abuses, but the world human rights community takes little notice.
Perhaps the guardians of human rights believe that to pressure Pakistan
over its blasphemy laws would be “Islamophobic.” “Gunmen attack
residence of lawyer defending blasphemy accused in Multan,” AFP,
December 4, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann): […]

Time for more government studies on “Islamophobia” to demonize those
who have been calling attention to this ever-growing global problem.

A Contempt for Danger by Michael Devolin “Constant exposure to dangers
will breed contempt for them.” -Seneca I’ve always been offended by the
term “Islamophobia,” an asseveration adopted by Western journalists to
calumniate anyone expressing second thoughts about what has now become
Islam’s contrary and uncongenial presence in the Western hemisphere. My
doubts about the […]

‘Islamophobia’ Joins the Rainbow Coalition by Andrew Harrod “Same-sex
marriage bans” and “anti-sharia/anti-‘foreign law’” bills seek “to
disenfranchise historically marginalized groups,” according to the
Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU)’s latest
“Islamophobia” study, “Islamophobia: A Threat to All.” An audience of
around fifty at a recent panel discussion on the study at Georgetown

Somehow these gunmen got the Islamophobic idea that their actions were
in accord with the teachings of the book they were holding. Yet Barack
Obama and John Kerry and David Cameron and a host of others assure us
that the actions of such people have nothing whatsoever to do with
Islam. Who could be right? […]

“The stabbing comes on the heels of a security warning from the U.S.
Embassy in Abu Dhabi in late October, advising Americans of a ‘recent
anonymous posting on a Jihadist website that encouraged attacks against
teachers at American and other international schools in the Middle
East.'” An update on this story. “UAE police arrest suspect […]

“Sherman stressed the need to find Islamic–rather than secular or
humanitarian–justifications against the brutality of the Islamic State
to appeal to Muslims worldwide.” It is certainly true that only showing
that the Islamic State is wrong on Islamic grounds will keep some
Muslims from supporting it. Sherman is, of course, assuming that Islam
is a […]
