UK: Christmas should be ‘downgraded’ to help ‘race relations,’ says Labour Party think tank
What race are Muslims again? And why must Western culture always give way to the cultural demands of Muslim immigrants? Me, I think Labour’s heart is three sizes too small. “Christmas should be ‘downgraded’ to help race relations says Labour think tank,” by James Chapman in the Daily Mail (thanks to Brenda): Christmas should be […]
“I have resources backing me that have pockets far deeper and wider than yours will ever be, Insha Allah”
I get lots of hate mail, and indeed, I’ve gotten a particularly large amount from a frequent commenter on the articles at FrontPage magazine, who sent me this one. But this is one of the oddest: I am a just and fair person, so I must inform you that I have resources backing me that […]

An anti-dhimmi panel in Washington speaks truth to power. By Nathan Burchfiel for CNSNews (thanks to Twostellas): (CNSNews.com) – Muslim extremists are branding opponents “Islamophobes” in an effort to paint themselves as the victim and silence dissent and opposition to their political and religious beliefs, according to a panel convened in Washington, D.C., Tuesday. “‘Islamophobia’ […]
Speaker at Emory defends Hizballah and Hamas
And the Leftist thugs who shouted down David Horowitz were nowhere in evidence, of course. Not that they would have wanted to turn out to protest a speech by an apologist for jihad terror — and meanwhile, Emory’s President James Wagner pretended that conservative students were just as likely to behave like fascist thugs as […]
Head of Austria’s Green Party refuses to associate terrorism with Islam

EU subsidizing anti-Israel groups
All the recent controversy about who is and who isn’t a neo-Nazi in Europe should consider whether or not the EU itself can be counted into the neo-Nazi group, or at very least harbors policymakers with such sentiments. “Guess who Europe’s subsidizing?” by Manfred Gerstenfeld in the Jerusalem Post (thanks to Looney Tunes): The European […]

Evil bloggers, including Jihad Watch, force new Cleveland imam to resign!
Not really, of course. I never called for him to resign, much less force him to do so. I did call attention to things that he admits to having said. But AP, characteristically, puts the blame on Jihad Watch and Patrick Poole, as if we trumped up the charges. Just imagine if an anti-jihadist made […]
Germany battles jihad…with a comic book
Emblematic of the general unserious response in the West to the ideological challenge from the jihadists. You’ll notice that the problem all comes from the young man being unable to find a job — in other words, jihadism is all the West’s fault, and the West can put an end to it with the proper […]
