“In an open letter earlier, Beganovic condemned the calls on young men
in BiH by Bilal Bosnic, an imam in the nearby village of Buzim, to join
Islamic State and fight in the wars in Syria and Iraq. Beganovic was
then verbally attacked by radical Islamists, who set his car on fire and
threatened to […]

Shhh! Bishop Kevin and Bishop Bob don’t want you talk about this. The
hummus and pita down at the Mehmet the Conqueror Mosque on outreach
night are just so very delicious. “Iraqi churches used as Islamic State
prisons,” by Lucinda Borkett-Jones, Christian Today, December 4, 2014
(thanks to The Religion of Peace): The Iraqi city […]

“Corrupt officials willing to defend their religion rather than the
laws they’ve sworn to uphold, are violating Christians’ rights by
forcibly closing, destroying and demolishing churches across Ethiopia.”
Islamic law forbids non-Muslims to build new houses of worship or to
repair old ones. It seems as if Muslims in Ethiopia, with help from
corrupt officials, […]

Wissam Haddad, the former head of al-Risalah Islamic Centre, seems to
take for granted that the Islamic State is implementing Sharia properly.
Where did he get this idea? Is he reading “Islamophobic” literature?
“Controversial Aussie Muslim backs right to fight for Islamic State,” by
Ben McClellan, The Daily Telegraph, December 5, 2014: THE former head

They’re approving of hit-and-run attacks on Israeli civilians, and of
stabbing whole families to death in the homes in the middle of the
night. They’re glorifying and celebrating savagery. Just don’t call it
that, you racist, bigoted Islamophobe. “Poll shows strong Palestinian
support for attacks,” The Associated Press, December 9, 2014: JERUSALEM
(AP) — An […]

In PJ Media I explore five recent examples of the inspirational power
of the Islamic holy book. Last Tuesday, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA)
declared that the State Department “ought to hire one or two experts in
Islamic jurisprudence,” so as to refute the ideology of the Islamic
State. “One must be able to turn to […]

Islam forbids forced conversion — “There is no compulsion in religion”
(Qur’an 2:256). However, what is considered “forced” is more elastic
than the Western view. Muhammad is represented in a hadith as saying
that Muslims should take up arms against non-Muslims who refuse to
convert or submit: “Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make

This story and the FBI are pushing the claim that Mohammed Hamzah Khan
was “radicalized” on the Internet, and that his parents are shocked,
bewildered and saddened by his attempt to join the Islamic State.
Presumably the Islam they taught him, as far as the Washington Post and
the feds are concerned, was moderate, patriotic, […]

“Rights groups say ISIS has beheaded and stoned to death many people in
areas it controls in Syria and Iraq for actions they see as violating
their interpretation of Islamic law, such as adultery, stealing and
blasphemy.” Actually, there is no established version of Islamic law
that does not call for such punishments, despite the […]

During the attack he was making “Islamic-type statements,” and after he
was shot, he asked for his Qur’an, which had dropped out of his pocket.
Nothing to see here. Just another random Qur’an-toting mentally ill man
stabbing a police officer after telling his family he was going out and
not coming back. Remember that the […]
