Canada: Muslim leader incites Muslim judges not to apply laws that oppose Sharia
Dr. Jamal Badawi was several years ago a leading “moderate Muslim.” His “moderate” credentials were a bit tarnished, however, when he was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding case. Oh, and also, Jamal Badawi owes me a million dollars: several years ago, he offered a cool mil to anyone […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Muslims, Our Natural Allies?
In FrontPage this morning I discuss how First Things and National Review turn a blind eye to jihad violence and Sharia injustice. World Hijab Day was February 1, and Princeton Professor Robert P. George marked the occasion by publishing a piece in the Catholic journal First Things entitled “Muslims, Our Natural Allies.” He included in […]
India: Enraged Muslims demand ban of movie about “how Qur’an has been misinterpreted to give birth to terrorism”
It’s “a bold film on myths about Quran” — a “jihad against terrorism.” You’d think that peaceful Muslims would be glad to see this addressed — certainly I myself am interested to see how Ajaz Khan makes a case that “Quran has been misinterpreted to give birth to terrorism,” since jihad terrorists routinely quote chapter […]
UK: Muslim politician incites rage, death threats by posting “Jesus and Mo” cartoon on Twitter
This controversy has been raging for over a week now. I had been inclined to let it pass by without comment, but what it reveals about the state of the freedom of speech in Britain, and the prospects for large-scale reform of Islam, can’t be ignored. Maajid Nawaz is a politician in Britain and a […]
Sisi calls for “modern, comprehensive understanding of the religion of Islam”
The latest Muslim Martin Luther, taking up the tattered crown from the cynical, deceptive Tariq Ramadan, is Egypt’s General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who has called for a reformation within Islam. Such a reformation is certainly urgently needed, and even in calling for it, Sisi has gone much farther than the Muslim Brotherhood scion Ramadan ever […]
Muslim cleric who endorses jihad/martyrdom suicide bombings on 11-city US tour
And the Board Chairman of the sponsoring group is none other than the sinister, vicious and cynically disingenuous Hussam Ayloush of Hamas-linked CAIR. Why does this man have any audience at all? Why are the peaceful, moderate Muslims of the U.S. giving him a hearing? Why aren’t they standing up at his talks and barraging […]
Jihad is “the most misunderstood concept of Islam,” says Indian Muslim historian
Habib “Everything is a jihad “” pursuit of education, earning a living and fighting your egos. But, now, it is the most misunderstood concept of Islam.” This recalls Hamas-linked CAIR’s cynical and deceptive ad campaign saying that jihad was taking the kids to school and getting in one’s exercise. This was widely taken as evidence […]
Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here: Not what it appears to be
Karima Bennoune Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here: Not what it appears to be by Danusha Goska At first glance, Karima Bennoune’s “Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here: Untold Stories from the Fight against Muslim Fundamentalism” might look, to the naïve reader, like the statement all America has been waiting for since September 11, 2001. […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Lifestyle: The Hypocrisy of the Fatwa Against Terrorism
Qadri In PJ Lifestyle today I explain why Dr. Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri”s 300-page obfuscation cannot be considered a true reformist document. Last week, after jihad terrorists Mujaahid Abu Hamza and Ismail Ibn Abdullah (formerly Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale) were convicted of murder for beheading British soldier Lee Rigby on a London street, I had […]
Qatari Muslim professor and human rights advocate identified as major financier of al-Qaeda
I am frequently criticized for pointing out that there is no reliable way to distinguish between “moderate” and “extremist” Muslims, i.e., jihad terrorists and Islamic supremacists and Muslims who are peaceful and have no involvement in jihad or supremacist activity. This is routinely cited as evidence of my “bigotry,” as if I am somehow impugning […]
The inadequate and deceptive “Fatwa on Terrorism and Suicide Bombings”
This morning I had this exchange with the prominent British Muslim spokesman Mohammed Ansar on Twitter: He didn’t really answer my question, as I had asked for sources giving a peaceful interpretation of sura 9, that is, Surat at-Tauba, the ninth chapter of the Qur’an, which jihad murderer Michael Adebolajo (Mujaahid Abu Hamza) specifically invoked […]
Akbar Ahmed, advocate of “dialogue,” claims “Islamophobes” are “linking Islam to violence, terrorism and intolerance”
Akbar Ahmed Akbar Ahmed is the quintessential example of a “moderate” Muslim engaging in “dialogue” with Infidels who have no idea of what his goals for that “dialogue” really are. This article, however, is unintentionally revealing. “Interfaith dialogue: “˜Dialogue of civilisations” key to global harmony,” by Aroosa Shaukat for the Express Tribune, December 3: Trying […]
UK: Baroness Sayeeda Warsi toes OIC/Muslim Brotherhood line on “Islamophobia,” free speech
A swift takedown of an increasingly prominent “moderate” who pushes the Muslim Brotherhood propaganda term “Islamophobia” and opposes the freedom of speech — particularly honesty about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat. “The Unbearable Lightness of Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, by Andrew E. Harrod at Juicy Ecumenism, November 25: “You are a sushi,” Baroness […]
New York: Liberal imam fired from city’s biggest mosque
This story — I do not know how accurate it is — portrays Shamsi Ali as a liberal Muslim who flouted the Sharia prohibition on music and wasn’t overcome with rage over Muhammad cartoons. Apparently he didn’t call for censorship and the adoption of Islam’s blasphemy laws in the wake of those cartoons, either. At […]
Tennessee mosque invites Hamas-linked Muslim scholar Jamal Badawi to speak
This WZTV story is even more relentlessly biased than most, giving that impression that Badawi’s unindicted co-conspirator status is something that “anti-Islamic websites” simply “claim,” and that try as they might, these intrepid reporters just can’t verify. In reality, it is established fact, as noted on that celebrated anti-Islamic website known as USA Today. The […]
Is this the proper American Muslim response to jihad in America?
In “Is this the proper American Muslim response to jihad in America?” in the American Thinker, October 23, Pamela Geller shows the hollowness of Islamic supremacist groups’ condemnation of terrorism: On Friday, October 11, a Muslim convert who calls himself Hasan Abu Omar Ghannoum was taken off a terror-bound bus in California and arrested for aiding […]
“Why is it that no Muslim group has ever been created to condemn…terrorists who kill themselves to become ‘martyrs for Islam’?”
This article makes a great many true and accurate observations. After detailing a number of recent jihad attacks, the author says, “The West is deluding itself when it says that ‘this is not the real Islam.’ Indeed, what is the real Islam? Since terrorists and Salafists say they are Muslims and acting in favour of […]
Taliban on Malala: “The enemies of Islam are awarding her because she has left Islam and has became secular”
Malala says that what the Taliban do offends Islam — that they’re misunderstanding Islam. They say she is an apostate who is being given awards by the enemies of Islam. They want to kill her. She doesn’t want to kill them. They have already shot her once. This is why we don’t see more genuine […]
“Beheading the EDL”
I cowrote this statement from Pamela Geller — this is AFDI’s position: This is Muslim Outreach? Tommy Robinson approaches Quilliam in earnest, puts his life on the line, becomes a pariah (and rightly so) and that’s how they declare it? Decapitation sounds like jihad, not reformation. Quilliam claimed they have “facilitated the decapitation of the […]
“Moderate” PA’s Fatah Facebook page praises jihadist who shot nine-year-old Israeli girl
“Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas…” — Barack Obama, March 21, 2013 An update on this story. “PA”s Fatah Facebook Page […]
