Yemen’s President ‘has no control’ as Iran-backed Shi’ite Houthi rebels storm palace, fire on US Embassy
The Shi’ite Houthi rebels have received weapons, money and training from Iran. So this represents a significant advance for Iran’s power and influence in the Middle East. What will Obama do in response to the firing on the embassy? Surrender, of course: preparations are already being made to evacuate it. “Yemen’s President ‘has no control’ […]

Paris Mayor says she will sue Fox News over No-Go Zones coverage
Anne Hidalgo sounds here very much like the Islamic supremacists who regularly barbecue cars on Paris streets: Paris has been insulted. Its honor has been impugned. Therefore she wants to take Fox News to court. That would be a very interesting lawsuit: in its defense, Fox could call David Ignatius, who wrote in the New […]

UK: Muslim leaders demand apology for letter urging them to do more to root out “extremists” and stop “radicalization”
Two thousand Muslims from Britain have joined the Islamic State to wage jihad, but Mohammed Rafiq Sehgal, president of the Bradford Council for Mosques, is outraged, outraged, that Communities Secretary Eric Pickles has dared to ask Muslim communities to do more to stop young Muslims from becoming “radicalized.” It’s to “pick on Muslims and blame […]

Islamic State threatens to kill 2 Japanese hostages unless Tokyo pays $200 million

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: No No-Go Zones? Really?
In FrontPage today I examine Fox News’ notorious apology, and the need for it: The Leftist media and Islamic supremacist groups have been doing a victory dance ever since Saturday night, when Fox News issued an apology for statements made on the air by terror expert Steve Emerson and others about Muslim no-go zones in Britain and […]

Chechnya: 800,000 Muslims protest Muhammad cartoons; protests also in Iran, Pakistan, Ingushetia, elsewhere
They’re not protesting against the murder of twelve cartoonists for the crime of drawing Muhammad. They’re protesting against the cartoons. And these protests are growing worldwide. If the mainstream narrative about Islam were true, we would at least see some Muslim demonstrations somewhere against the murder of the cartoonists. There have been none. But the […]

Germany: Soap brand withdrawn for being insulting to Muslims
You might have expected the soap bottle to feature a Muhammad cartoon, but no. The soap is called 1001 Nights, and “the packaging, which Aldi said was intended to evoke the exotic Orient, depicted a Turkish-style mosque with dome and minarets, together with a lantern and a set of prayer beads.” So what, you ask?
