Don’t
miss this riveting film. From Iranwire Videos, June 13, 2014 (thanks to
WTD): I worked in Iran for many years as a photojournalist and
documentary photographer. Many of my photographs were never published
for a variety of reasons, mainly censorship. Because of censorship, the
real image of my country is always distorted. After moving […]

Timothy
DeTillio’s Twitter account, on which he threatened to kill Obama and
his family and hailed the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, has been
suspended, and he may have been arrested by now for threatening the
President. He seems to be a questionable character in any case, as a
judge ordered his arrest on […]

“Tony
Blair called the case a ‘brutal and sickening distortion of faith.” In
reality, the Sudanese authorities were acting in accord with classic
principles of Islamic law. Muhammad commanded: “Whoever changed his
Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). Sheikh Yusuf
al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world,
has stated: “The […]

In
Aleteia today I discuss ISIS’s stated desires and hopes. Amid all the
consternation over the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and the
future of Iraq, it should not be forgotten that ISIS has more than once
indicated its intense desire to stage jihad attacks inside the United
States. There have been many […]

This
murder was a very big deal for awhile among Leftists and Islamic
supremacists, although now (of course) they have forgotten that it ever
happened. At the time, because of the note that was found by the body
saying “Go back to your country, you terrorist,” the crime was
universally reported as being motivated by […]

About
the Shalit deal, I wrote this in October 2011: “I am sorry for the
families of those whom the freed jihadists have murdered in the past,
and those whom they will murder in the future once they gain their
freedom.” And now here we are. “Israeli killed on Passover eve was
murdered by Palestinian […]

Boko
Haram, the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and
Jihad, continues to act with impunity in Nigeria, basing everything they
do on Islamic texts and teachings, while in the West Islamic spokesmen
assure us that what they do has nothing to do with Islam. The cognitive
dissonance is never explained by […]

In
light of the fact that Abdullahi Alazreg said that she would be freed
several weeks ago, and then that statement was retracted, this ruling is
just empty verbiage unless Meriam Yahya Ibrahim is actually freed.
Nevertheless, it does show that international pressure can work even
against Sharia supremacists. “Sudanese court orders release of woman […]

“They
all feared persecution at the hands of the insurgents who had suddenly
arrived in their midst because they follow a harsh 7th century
interpretation of the Qur’an that demands not only that women mostly
stay indoors, but that church bells must never be rung, crosses must
never be displayed and Christians must pay a […]

John
Kerry needs to sit down with Subhi Al-Yazji and have a long talk. Kerry
will explain to him how poverty causes terrorism, and how jihad
attacks, including jihad-martyrdom suicide operations, have nothing
whatsoever to do with Islam. Muslims in the West know these lines well,
but in other places misunderstanders of Islam abound, even […]

This
is — simultaneously — a manifestation of Islamic supremacism and of
insecurity. Malaysia’s Federal Court has acted to ensure that Muslims
maintain a dominant position in modern, moderate Malaysia. But this
ruling was also designed, in the words of the court itself, to make sure
that Muslims don’t convert away from Islam. A religion […]
