This
controversy has been raging for over a week now. I had been inclined to
let it pass by without comment, but what it reveals about the state of
the freedom of speech in Britain, and the prospects for large-scale
reform of Islam, can’t be ignored. Maajid Nawaz is a politician in
Britain and a […]

True
to form for a mainstream media story, there is no indication in this
Canadian Press article that Chiheb Esseghaier is a Muslim, much less an
Islamic jihadist. There are numerous quotations of him referring to
“God,” leaving the uninformed reader with the possibility that he could
be a deranged “right-wing Christian extremist.” His previous […]

The
Akal Takht, pictured above, is in Punjab. It is the center of temporal
authority for Sikhs. So this is not coming from some “extremist fringe”
of “Islamophobes.” “Sexual Exploitation Of Sikhs and Others in England
Worries Akal Takht,” from the Hindustan Times, January 29: AMRITSAR
SAHIB (January 29, 2014)—The Akal Takht, the highest temporal […]

These
Muslims somehow have gotten the Islamophobic idea that democracy and
secularism are incompatible with Islam. They must be misunderstanders of
Islam. In any case, it sure is a good thing that Britain barred Pamela
Geller and me from entering the country. If we had gone there, Muslims
might have grown enraged by our “Islamophobia,” […]

Note
how Umarov grew more religious and…became a jihad terror leader. Note
that Ibragimova refers to her foes as “nonbelievers.” We see this again
and again: jihad terrorists are devout and observant Muslims. Yet the
religious motivation is the one thing that Western analysts have deemed
unimportant. “I Met the Black Widow Suicide Bomber,” by […]

Didn’t
this Muslim cleric realize that Islam is tolerant and peaceful? How did
he come to misunderstand Islam so spectacularly? “Cleric, students
charged with ‘athesist’ [sic] blogger’s murder,” from AFP, January 29
(thanks to The Religion of Peace): Bangladesh police have charged seven
students of an elite university and a cleric over the murder of […]

“What’s
this fear that’s struck us suddenly? They’ll kill Jews? Today?” —
Shimon Peres No, those rockets are to send origami floating peacefully
in the Israeli skies. “’170,000 Rockets Aimed at Israel,’” by Tova
Dvorin for Israel National News, January 29: Israel’s Chief of Military
Intelligence, Major General Aviv Kohavi, painted a clear and graphic […]

Uh,
yeah. They’ll kill Jews. Today. This could only have been said by
someone who has no conception of the nature of the jihad ideology, and
of the significance of the epigraph from Muslim Brotherhood founder
Hasan al-Banna on the Hamas charter: “Israel will arise and will remain
until Islam eliminates it.” The establishment of […]

Pakistan
has in the past funneled to the terrorists themselves the money it
received from the U.S. to fight terror. What safeguards are in place now
to make sure that doesn’t happen again? Why, none. To ask for any
accountability from Pakistan would be “Islamophobic.” “US to keep
funding Pakistan after pullout,” by Wajid Ali […]

Islamic
supremacists continue to blame the Christians of Egypt for the toppling
of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood regime — and this has heated up
again with Morsi on trial. “Cairo, Coptic Orthodox church attacked. One
dead,” from Asia News, January 29 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Cairo
(AsiaNews) – A group of armed men yesterday […]
