Muhammad said: “I have been made victorious through terror” (Bukhari 4:52.220). The Qur’an says: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60) The people responsible for the linking of Islam with terrorism […]

“Bishop Kevin, may I come in?” (Heavy sigh) “Yes, Father Bud. But make it quick, okay? I have to get down to Masjid Tamerlane for an outreach meeting.” “Yes, I know, Your G–” “Kev.” “Kev. Yes, I know. That’s why I came in. I just wanted to let you know that Islamic jihadists have just […]

“When did Muhammad ever behead anyone?” asks Selvedin Beganovic. He meant it as a rhetorical question to show that the Islamic State is un-Islamic. But then there is this: “Then they [the Jewish Qurayzah tribe] surrendered, and the apostle [Muhammad] confined them in Medina in the quarter of d. al-Harith, a woman of B. Al-Najjar. […]

This is once again becoming the norm in Europe. If there were a sufficient number of people in Europe who were sane and clear-sighted enough to act in the proper direction, there would be strong action by European governments against Islamic antisemitism. But they are too busy worrying about “Islamophobia.” “Israeli attacked by men singing […]

In PJ Media I discuss yet another potentially disastrous misstep by another Western leader: After tens of thousands of Germans participated in rallies organized by Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West (PEGIDA), German Chancellor Angela Merkel denounced them, claiming that when they chanted “We are the people,” they really meant, “You don’t belong […]

The Islamic State says it has set up an Islamic Bank (not that this has anything to do with Islam). It continues to go about setting up all the accoutrements of a state, or at least claiming to do so. This announcement about establishing a bank may be a bluff — after all, as Muhammad […]

The Islamic State’s first, and probably not its last, assault on the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places. But perhaps this will galvanize the House of Saud to call upon its Western vassals to act decisively and get rid of this troublesome caliphate once and for all. “Three Saudi guards killed in suicide, gun attack […]

This supremacist sentiment is undeniably ugly, but it should not be a surprise to anyone. It is based on a hadith in which Muhammad is depicted as saying: “No babe is born but upon Fitra (as a Muslim). It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist.” (Sahih Muslim […]

Since the fire was an accident started from inside the mosque, it means that it was either started by a Muslim (intentionally or not), or caused by gas or electrical installations that the mosque is responsible for. Muslim leaders in Sweden have already started to demand a state-paid “prayer room guarantee.” Meanwhile, a police bus and many cars near […]

This kind of talk, demonizing Jews and justifying genocide, is common on Hamas TV. Time for the UN to issue another condemnation of Israel. “Palestinian Imam and Hamas TV Host Abu Funun Justifies Hitler: The Jews Spread Corruption Everywhere,” MEMRI, December 28, 2014: During a December 28, 2014 Hamas TV show, Palestinian imam Sheik Iyad […]
