Why we don’t see more genuine Muslim reformers, part 37,950: “Ayatollah Tortured, Near Death, in Iran for Criticizing Political Islam,” by Shadi Paveh for the Gatestone Institute, February 5 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Ayatollah Hossein-Kazamani Boroujerdi, a senior member of the Shiite Muslim clergy, is presently serving the eighth year of an 11-year sentence handed […]

The chap pictured above is Mr. Universal K. Allah, suspect in the theft of this violin. (His middle name is Knowledge.) This story has nothing to do with jihad, as far as I know, but I couldn’t help but wonder, as I pondered this gentleman’s marvelous name, if Allah, frustrated over Muhammad’s failure to do […]

“Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas…” — Barack Obama, March 21, 2013 “Fatah Central Committee Member Rajoub to Iranian TV: Armed […]

The concept of “Iranophobia” is absurd, but that didn’t stop the purveyors of the concept of “Islamophobia.” And meanwhile, the “Zionist regime” is indeed angry over the nuclear deal, because it understands how disastrous the concessions that the U.S. made to Iran really are. “Rouhani accuses foes of seeking to spread ‘Iranaphobia,’” from the Jerusalem […]

Ya Rab: Jihad Against Terrorism is “a bold film on myths about Quran”; filmmaker Ajaz Khan says that he made it in order to show how the “Quran has been misinterpreted to give birth to terrorism.” That sounds like something that every Muslim individual and group that professes to reject jihad terrorism should support, but […]

Here yet again we see Muslims who were not particularly religious and living relatively ordinary lives growing more religious and then turning to jihad. Yet religion is the one aspect of their motivation that British authorities, like their American counterparts, have forbidden themselves to examine. “What drove a British estate agent and his maths tutor […]

This extraordinary article explains exactly why it is unwise and ultimately self-defeating for Catholic leaders (and Christian leaders in general) to engage in “interfaith dialogue” with Muslim leaders without knowing much of anything about Islam, or, for that matter, about the goals for the dialogue of their Muslim counterparts. The author, William Kilpatrick, author of […]

A few years ago, David Horowitz and I challenged the major Muslim organizations in the U.S. to repudiate this genocidal hadith. None would, and the few who commented at all offered nothing more than the usual propaganda about “taking it out of context,” implying that only greasy Islamophobes understood such passages as having an applicability […]

So Britain bans Pamela Geller and me from entering the country, even though we have never advocated anything but the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and equality of rights for all people. The letter to me from the UK Home Office said that I was being banned for saying that Islam has a […]

In FrontPage this morning I discuss how First Things and National Review turn a blind eye to jihad violence and Sharia injustice. World Hijab Day was February 1, and Princeton Professor Robert P. George marked the occasion by publishing a piece in the Catholic journal First Things entitled “Muslims, Our Natural Allies.” He included in […]
