Macron says Notre Dame should be rebuilt in line with diversity; architect suggests an Islamic minaret be included
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Apr 25, 2019 04:43 pm

France flagged “more than 78,000 people” as jihadist security threats in 2017; three churches a day are attacked there; anti-Semitism is so prevalent (and violent) in France that it prompted the President of the Confederation of Jews in France to conclude that “in a few decades, there will be no Jews in France.” But none […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Apr 25, 2019 03:21 pm

Refreshing news out of France: the country’s “most powerful administrative court” — The Council of State (Conseil d’Etat) — “rebuffed demands by Syria-based French Islamic State (ISIS) brides to be repatriated back to France, arguing the matter was outside its jurisdiction as it involved negotiations with foreign authorities.” The council further rejected such demands “for […]

Sultan of Brunei requests “tolerance” from EU leaders for his implementation of Sharia stoning of gays
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Apr 25, 2019 03:16 pm

“In a bizarre move, the Sultan of Brunei has written to the European Union to defend his recent decision to impose strict sharia law punishments in his country.” Hassanal Bolkiah’s letter urged “tolerance, respect and understanding.” As bizarre as such a letter may sound, Bolkiah is merely echoing the principles of Western “tolerance.” Westerners have […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Apr 25, 2019 02:52 pm

At the “She the People” presidential forum in Houston, Cory Booker defended Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s “anti-Semitic comments about AIPAC,” stating that “the criticisms of Congresswoman Omar, what Donald Trump has been saying about her is reprehensible, it is trafficking in Islamophobia.” “Islamophobia” is nothing more than a buzzword used to beat down critics. It has […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Apr 25, 2019 01:00 pm

The US imposed “stringent sanctions on Iran” after Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, “a move which has enraged Tehran,” and now Iran is “backing China’s militarisation of the South China Sea” as it pursues a “military alliance with China” against America.

No More Popping Champagne for Winning Soccer Teams Over Muslim Sensitivities
By Daniel Greenfield on Apr 25, 2019 12:00 pm

Champagne. Like freedom of speech, cartoons and seeing eye dogs, a champagne toast may be one of those sacrifices that have to be made in the name of the goddess of the new age of multicultural man. Her name is sensitivity. And she is blind because she wears a burka. Here’s her manifestation as another tradition […]

By Daniel Greenfield on Apr 25, 2019 11:00 am

After every terrorist attack, it’s only a matter of time until the media runs its expected, “Muslims fear backlash” stories. The New York Times was one of the first media outlets out of the gate to claim that Sri Lankan Muslims are being terrorized by Christians. “In the town of Negombo, where an attack on […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: China Ratchets Up Its Anti-Islam Campaign in Xinjiang (Part Two)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Apr 25, 2019 10:00 am

When the Chinese ambassador to Pakistan offered his preposterously sanitized version of how his government treats Muslims, he had no fear of being cross-examined. For he knew that Pakistan needs China, both as an economic partner, and as a military ally — China supplies 70% of Pakistan’s weaponry — and the Pakistani government is not […]

By Mateen Elass on Apr 25, 2019 09:00 am

Secular Western analysts of Islamic militancy typically miss the boat when seeking the root causes spurring Muslims to engage in violent jihad.

By Mateen Elass on Apr 25, 2019 08:00 am

Qanta Ahmed, a naturalized American, accomplished doctor and liberal Muslim, is at it again. Claiming to represent true Islam, she has launched another diatribe against Ilhan Omar over her recent, infamous CAIR speech in which the Minnesota Democrat congresswoman described the 9/11 terrorist attacks as “some people did something.” Ahmed quite rightly calls Omar “…a […]
