“When
you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) Not, of
course, that this has anything to do with Islam. In any case, here again
the Islamic State proves its extremism. The more moderate Sharia
enforcers David Cameron and Theresa May will not behead you for
insulting Allah; they will just take away your […]

Aside
from its open opposition to the freedom of speech, the problem with
this article is that it assumes that there is no legitimate criticism of
Islam and its doctrines of jihad warfare, supremacism over unbelievers,
subjugation of women and non-Muslims, etc. All “anti-Islamic comments
online” are simply hatred of all Muslims and incitement to […]

“Multiple
witnesses said the men entered the station in one vehicle and then
dropped bags packed with explosives between the buses which were filling
up with travellers.” Sheer savagery. “Nigeria bus station hit by triple
bomb blasts, 8 killed,” AFP, October 31, 2014: KANO, Oct 31 — A triple
bombing at a bus station in […]

The
ingratitude. A few cursory ineffective airstrikes against the Islamic
State, and the British get this. After all they have done to appease and
accommodate Islamic supremacists, they get nothing but rage and hatred
in response. The Conservative government now even wants to criminalize
opposition to Sharia, and still the Islamic State isn’t accepting the
[…]

“If
justice and equality for women is un-Islamic, I don’t know where we are
going with this.” And yet where they are going with this is absolutely
clear. Here is yet more indication of why we don’t see more genuine
Muslim reformers. Islamic Tolerance Alert from modern, moderate
Malaysia: “Sisters in Islam files for judicial […]

“Shamari is ‘now in Jeddah prison, for insulting Islam,’ Badawi’s wife Ensaf Haidar said on Twitter on Friday.
‘This is the accusation they make against anybody defending human
rights,’ said one of the activists.” That’s interesting. In the U.S.,
anybody defending human rights against Sharia oppression is charged not
with “insulting Islam,” but with “racism,” […]

Welcome
to the new style of American politics. We are going to see a great deal
more of this kind of thing in the coming years. “Bachmann under 24/7
guard after ISIS threat,” by Garth Kant, WND, October 20, 2014:
WASHINGTON – The danger posed by ISIS to Americans has come to the
homeland for […]

“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 “PA Calls
Assassin Terrorist ‘Hero Defending Freedom,'” by Ari […]

“No
reasons for panic, he said.” Of course. Panic is never a good reaction
to anything. But given the fact that German authorities are doing
absolutely nothing to make sure that the belief system that fuels this
affinity for terrorism doesn’t keep spreading in Germany, in ten or
fifteen years, and maybe sooner, those authorities […]

The
appeal of the caliphate is clearly global. But for Western authorities
to acknowledge that would be for them to admit that it had something to
do with Islam. “Three Iraqis arrested in Switzerland, suspected of
planning attack,” Reuters, October 31, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann) ZURICH,
Oct 31 (Reuters) – Swiss authorities said on Friday […]

“If
we manage to establish a Syria-like reign here (in Bangladesh) then
Muslims from Assam, Arakan (former name of Burma’s Rakhine State) and
West Bengal too would be able to come here for hijrat (migration with
religious agenda). Simultaneously, anti-India revolts would intensify in
seven eastern Indian states. This would be a huge blow for […]

As
more and more young Muslims from Australia are joining the Islamic
State, and crude pro-Islamic State graffiti appeared on one school,
Australian authorities are hoping that teachers will tip them off about
“radicalized students” — with no curiosity about where this
“radicalization” is coming from. It must be from the Internet, doncha
know. “Federal […]

“Officials
at the Cherry Creek School District, where all three attended high
school, said it appeared the girls were victims of online predators.” It
seems from news reports that every young Muslim from a Western country
who tries to join the Islamic State has been “radicalized on the
Internet.” That has become an easy way […]
