This represents a capitulation to the jihadists who murdered twelve people in the Charlie Hebdo offices. They committed mass murder in order to “avenge” Muhammad. They didn’t want people drawing Muhammad. They wanted the West to comply with Sharia blasphemy restrictions. And MSNBC, along with most others in the mainstream media, appears happy to accommodate […]

You can always and in every case be sure: whenever a mainstream media outlet asks whether or not Islam is violent, you can be absolutely sure that the answer will be no. That is particularly true when the mainstream media outlet in question is the New York Times. This piece by David D. Kirkpatrick is […]

But in absurd, cowed, subjugated Sharia Britain, where public officials race to outdo each other in appeasing and showering privileges upon Islamic supremacists, Choudary runs around loose and says whatever he wishes, while counter-jihadists are defamed and marginalized, or — if they’re not British — barred from the country outright. Why not just make Choudary […]

“Aslam had also said that Pakistan’s stance over blasphemous cartoons is very clear. While strongly condemning the attack, she added that Pakistan in the past had moved a resolution in the United Nations and the world needs to get out of Islamophobia.” In other words, ban criticism of Islam and jihad, and all will be […]
