During a New Year’s Eve Islamic terror attack that took place in Russia minutes before the clock struck midnight, two Muslim men—Akhmed Imagozhev, 22 and Mikail Miziyev, 18—drove their car into and stabbed to death two police officers, one a married father of four. Other officers subsequently shot one of the jihadis dead, while hospitalizing the other. An image of the two … [Read more...]

Trump’s ‘Islam Hates Us’ Returns
Donald Trump’s infamous assertion “Islam hates us,” which he made over three years ago while campaigning for president, continues to anger his opponents. Most recently, Democratic presidential hopefuls Julián Castro and Bernie Sanders cited it in their efforts to court Muslim votes in Houston. Soon after being introduced by his Muslim campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, … [Read more...]
Evil Medieval Christians or Islam’s Victims Retaliating?
American Thinker Citing history—or, as shall be seen, pseudohistory—is one of the main ways Islam’s apologists try to ennoble Muhammad’s creed and its adherents. As a sort of counterbalance to purportedly noble Muslims, medieval Christians are regularly presented as the epitome of hypocrisy, intolerance, and greed. Commonly leading the pack are Vlad the Impaler, … [Read more...]
Just War vs Just Plain-Old Jihad
Wherever one looks, the historic crusades against Islam are demonized and distorted in ways designed to exonerate jihadi terror. “Unless we get on our high horse,” Barak Obama once chided Americans who were overly critical of Islamic terror, “and think this [beheadings, sex-slavery, crucifixion, roasting humans] is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades … [Read more...]
Does the Hijab Reflect “Adherence to Sharia Law”?
PJ Media The recent outrage surrounding Jeanine Pirro’s remarks concerning the hijab is a reflection of the abysmal degree to which common sense is under assault in America. Context: While discussing Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s anti-Israel remarks with Nancy Pelosi, Pirro said: This is not who your party is. Your party is not anti-Israel. She is.

How Islam Apologists Like John Esposito Dupe Americans About Sharia
PJ Media Does Islam itself promote hostility for and violence against non-Muslims, or are all the difficulties between the West and Islam based on secondary factors—from “radical” interpretations of Islam, to economics and grievances? This is the fundamental question. Obviously, if “anti-infidel” hostility is inherent to Islam itself, then the conflict becomes … [Read more...]
Hating ‘for the Sake of Allah’
FrontPage Magazine After launching a successful terror attack to free a fellow jihadi that left several slain policemen in its wake last month, the militant commander of Kashmir’s Hizb al-Mujahidin—“the Party of Jihadis”—justified the murders by saying, “We love and hate for the sake of Allah.” In this otherwise cryptic assertion lies the root of Islam’s conflict with … [Read more...]
Muslim-on-Muslim Violence Is Israel’s Fault, Says ‘World’s Most Influential Muslim’
PJ Media. One way or the other, Israel is to blame for all of the Middle East’s problems, claim many leading Muslims. Consider the logic of the highly respected Dr. Ahmed al-Tayeb—once voted the “most influential Muslim in the world”— as expressed during a televised interview. After claiming that “the genocides perpetrated by the Zionist entity” prompt aggrieved Muslims … [Read more...]
Islam’s Three Worst Doctrines
FrontPage Magazine Because Islam gets criticized for many things — from hostility to modernity and democracy to calls for theocratic rule, radical “patriarchy,” misogyny, and draconian punishments, to name a few — it is helpful to step back and distinguish between those (many) doctrines that affect Muslim society alone, and those that extend to and affect Western or … [Read more...]
Why Islamists and Fascists Persecute Christians
FrontPage Magazine A study from the Europe-based Center for Studies on New Religions recently confirmed that “Christians continue to be the most persecuted believers in the world, with over 90,000 followers of Christ being killed in the last year [2016],” which computes to one death every six minutes. The study also found that as many as 600 million Christians around the … [Read more...]
