The Hot Five And Hot Seven on a Hot Fourth of July Open ThreadTonight’s open thread is a celebration of July 4th America and Louis Armstrong’s birthday. He was the thoroughly original and brilliant American artist who created and invented a completely new form of music, jazz. Armstrong spent his entire life proudly celebrating his birthday on July 4. After his death, it was said that his real birthday was August 4. But if Louis said that July 4 was his birthday, then that’s what we celebrate. It’s most fitting: a true American genius and a great patriot, Louis Armstrong transformed American music forever. The Best Of The Hot Five And Hot Seven Recordings — Louis Armstrong [Full Album HD]
UK’s First Female Sharia Judge: ‘We Can’t Ask Muslims Not to Have More than One Wife’Britain has witnessed a rapid rise in sharia marriages, with many of them polygamous. The UK is not alone in this. In the US, nearly 70 percent of American Muslims said they believe that the U.S. should legalize polygamy…42 percent of those surveyed said they were either in, or knew others in polygamous marriages within the local Muslim community. Thirty-nine percent said they would engage in a polygamous marriage if it were legal in the United States. This is the pattern with Muslim immigration. Dr. Peter Hammond described it this way.

Heschel School Leaders Finance Anti-Israel BoycottWhile Israel continues to face worldwide pressure, there remain those who stand on the front lines opposing Israel. Leading the Jewish charge against Israel are the traitors of the New Israel Fund (NIF), who openly support a boycott against Israel, champion against Israel at the Jew-hating United Nations, and fund organizations such as Beyond the Silence that malign the Israel Defense Forces worldwide. NIF raises $30 million annually to further this mission – and they are traitors. This Israeli government is working against them – as should all decent people worldwide. Unfortunately, however, we have discovered that among the funders of NIF are leaders of the Jewish community, including Alisa Doctoroff of UJA-Federation, the Jewish... French synagogues batten the hatches after Lyon jihad horrorIn the wake of the slaughter of four Jews in a Paris kosher supermarket by an Islamic jihadist, a Parisian Jew said: “In the past year, 7,000 Jews have already left France and after this there will be many thousands more. We are not safe in France any more. There is no future for Jews here in France. We are finished in France.”

“It is good because everyone should understand how to behave towards the Muslim community,” said Muhammad Fuad, head of the local branch of the Islamic Community Forum. The principle is always the same: non-Muslims must always change their behavior to conform to Muslim sensibilities. The West is rapidly learning that. These Christians in Indonesia should […]

Additional Security Measures Taken for July 4th Jihad Terror: The 30 Americans ALREADY arrested in 4th of July terror alert – including ‘bad b******s plotting another Boston bombing’, National Guardsman who wanted to ‘repeat Charlie Hebdo’ and ‘Minnesota Martyrs’This, too, is a form of terror — it’s not part of their pattern to hit on big infidel holidays, but it is Ramadan, always a time of increased islamic violence. They don’t repeat themselves, so something new can be expected; whether it will be on the fourth of July or not remains to be seen. The unknowable is the newly devout Muslim who suddenly decides it’s time for martyrdom. This constant state of waiting for the bomb to drop is unworthy of a freedom-loving nation. No war was ever won on the defense. Waiting for Godot has morphed into Waiting for Allah.
Christians’ faces painted black and heads shaved following blasphemy allegationsRacism under the sharia — respect it!
Washington Post: “Leader of pro-Israel group sues Metro over issue-ad ban prompted by Muhammad cartoon”“Leader of pro-Israel group.” So as far as the Washington Post is concerned, if you head a human rights organization dedicated to the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience and equality for all before the law, then you are the leader of a pro-Israel group. Indeed.
UK: Muslim Public School Teacher Praises ISIS BeheadingsA Muslim teacher, Nargs Bibi, put up forty offensive and malicious messages praising the beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning by “Jihadi John,” and urged the Islamic State to kill all non-believers. The teacher has been fired. How intolerant of this teacher’s piety. Will the islamophobia never end?
Islamic State Launches Major Assault in Egypt’s SinaiAnd what is Obama doing about the “JV” team? He is blocking a plan by our allies in the region to fight ISIS and he is supporting the other terror group in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood. Just two days after jihadists assassinated Egypt’s Attorney General, “in a dramatic demonstration of its expanding reach, ISIS apparently launched simultaneous attacks Wednesday on five Egyptian military checkpoints, reportedly killing 17 Egyptian soldiers and injuring 30 others.” Obama’s junior varsity team, indeed. According to a recent survey, more than 42 MILLION Muslims “support ISIS” – as experts warn the figure will grow.

I seem to have less and less time every day to appreciate the things that are truly important and many of us seem to be losing track of what those things are as we are constantly assailed by forces trying to dismantle what we have built. There is a movement afoot to conceal from young citizens the how and why of America’s founding and the principles that have made this country great.
Today the Ten Commandments must not be displayed on Public Property, not because they offend but because they remind us that freedom to worship God is why people came here to begin with; that our country was and is based on Christian principles no matter what those who want to tear it down say. These beliefs are why 56 men with everything to lose appealed ”to the Supreme Judge of the World” …”with a full reliance on the protection of divine Providence” and mutually pledged “to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor” in Congress on July 4, 1776 as they severed ties from England declaring our Independence. On that day they claimed “the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Natures God” entitle us and declared further that we “are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights”.
Our founding and laws are clearly based on the principles in the Ten Commandments. That is why the enemy within is trying to suppress them and convince people that the First Amendment means something completely different from the words printed in our Constitution, which are;
Amendment 1 December 15, 1791
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people to peacefully assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
There are no restrictions in the First Amendment on citizens when it comes to Religion, Speech, Assembly or the Press. The only restrictions I see are on Congress. Since all Federal Law must be made by Congress, any Federal Law that restricts Religion, Assembly or the Press would be unconstitutional and invalid. If your conscience compels you to disobey laws restricting those things I think the spirits of Martin Luther King jr, Mahatma Gandhi, and the men who signed the Declaration of Independence would be cheering you on.
I wish you all a happy July 4th and hope this short reminder unleashes a little of the rebel spirit that started the amazing experiment that is the United States of America

Obama blocks plan by allies to fight ISIS (Islamic State)The question isn’t what side is Obama on; the question is what are we going to do about it? He’s a bloody nightmare.
Sharia Stooges at NY Times: Muhammad Cartoon in the New York Times? Of Course NotFor years, the New York Times has adhered to and enforced the strict code of Islamic law. Bowed and cowed, the NYT will not violate the vicious and archaic blasphemy laws under the sharia, as was proven yet again — today. They will not criticize, mock or otherwise mock Islam, no matter how high the death toll or how gruesome the jihad. Back in 2012, the NY Times ran a full page ad calling for Christians to leave the Catholic Church. When we submitted a mirror image of that same ad, making the same declaration concerning Islam, the ad was rejected out of hand (below). Not to be outdone, the Washington Post rejected the ad as well. Video here and here. But that was not the only time this happened. This week, true to form, the... “Blogger Sues to Get Her Muhammad Cartoon Ads on Metro”“Blogger” — lol.
AFDI Sues WMATA for Censoring Mohammad CartoonIn what could only called an end-run around the First Amendment, the Washington Transit Authority banned “political ads” after AFDI submitted our free speech campaign. As one of my readers pointed out, no contemporary medium of communication may pass the test of being merely commercial and non-political. The New York Times runs an editorial page every day — not to mention the slant of their “straight news” — and therefore, if they can advertise, so can the Village Voice, the Socialist Militant, and Dabiq (ISIS’ four-color magazine), for that matter. Public safety has been thrown in for good measure, as if these craven quislings know what is conducive to the public good. Color me skeptical.... Egyptian soldier, the only Christian in his unit, found murderedThe army covers for this savagery. That’s the problem. The enforcement and sanction of the most brutal ideology on the face of the earth. Where are Muslim leaders combating the sharia?
Second: Someone who kills himself with a gun never shoots more than once.
Iran nets nearly $12 billion in unfrozen assets under sanctions relief, including 13 tons of gold“The erosion of the sanctions regime raise serious questions over Western countries’ leverage over Tehran in nuclear negotiations, and whether reaching an acceptable nuclear deal is even possible.” Obama is effectively funding the Iranians’ nuclear program. When the mushroom cloud explodes over Tel Aviv, the Iranians will have Obama to thank.
France says 40 imams deported for hate speechThis is a common-sense measure. We have seen imams preaching hatred and violence in mosques all over the West. The willful blindness of American officials to this problem is suicidal.
Tunisia Beach Jihadi “Radicalized” in LondonThis should come as a surprise to absolutely no one. UK’s Cameron said, “I wish the BBC would stop calling it ‘Islamic State’ because it is not an Islamic state.” As if ….. the Tunisian was inspired by different jihadi group. Fourteen years after 9/11, Western leaders are still defaulting to the religion of peace myth. It’s an abject failure. Look where their denial has gotten us.
Tunisia attack: laughing jihadi Seifeddine Rezgui took photographs of the people he had murderedThis is the savagery that the West is sanctioning by its inaction and focus on combating “Islamophobia” rather than jihad terror. This devout Muslim murdered people and then laughed as he took photos of the dead bodies, and as far as the Western media is concerned, my colleagues and I are the villains. Insane. “Tunisia attack: ‘laughing gunman Seifeddine Rezgu [sic] took photographs of the dead,'” by Tom Wilkinson, Belfast Telegraph, June 30, 2015 (thanks toTheReligionofPeace.com): Gunman Seifeddine Rezgui, who killed 38 tourists in a Tunisian beach attack, took photos of his victims and laughed, a British man who helped saved lives said.

On Christmas morning, Nanna Skovmand and her boyfriend were subjected to an unprovoked attack by Muslims who kicked and beat them with bottles and iron chains in the face. As has happened so often before, the sentence they have received is ridiculously short. The attackers are already out of prison as you read this – […]
A Muslim convert to Christianity was arrested in Fez on grounds that he was proselytizing to Muslims. The apostate was approached by two police officers while in the city’s train station. They asked him questions while searching his bag, where they found a Bible and other Christianity-related books. Suspected of proselytizing, the man was taken […]
Not only do recent revelations concerning the endemic sexual grooming of British girls by Muslim men demonstrate how crippling political correctness is, but they show how political correctness complements the most abusive elements of Islamic law, or Sharia.

Common sense — certain to be widely denounced as “Islamophobic.” “Convicted terrorist loses Danish citizenship,” The Local, July 1, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann): Sam Mansour, who has been dubbed ‘The Bookseller from Brønshøj’ and ‘al-Qaeda’s PR man in Denmark’, on Wednesday became the first ever Dane to have his citizenship revoked for illegal activity.

In the U.S., even raising the possibility that mosques might be teaching hatred and sedition is enough to get you charges of “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” No U.S. official and no one in the mainstream media will even consider the possibility. In fact, so entrenched is the assumption that the mosques in the U.S. are bastions […]
“No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.” –Victor Hugo Frank Zappa famously said that “There is more stupidity around than hydrogen and it has a longer shelf life.” The stupidity of those who yet insist that Islam is a religion of peace—that Islam does not create the terrorist, that […]
“Radicals” on the Muslim-majority island of Zanzibar recently targeted two churches for persecution, through legal means and otherwise. They drove Pastor Philemon, a father of five, into hiding and took over his New Covenant Church’s worship hall by getting the landlord to rent it to them before the church’s lease ended. Once a congregation of […]
Yet Western authorities remain remarkably uncurious about how conversion to Islam all too often leads people to espouse hatred and violence, to say nothing of treason. Although this is a recurring phenomenon, it is never discussed in public; to do so would be “Islamophobic.” “Isis: Family of Italian female jihadist Maria Giulia Sergio arrested in […]
While turning a blind eye to all this, the UK government worked assiduously to ban Pamela Geller and me from entering the country. The UK Home Office’s letter to me explained that I was being barred from entering for the crime of saying that Islam had a doctrine of violence against unbelievers, which is akin […]
Obama’s JV team continues to play above its level, while Western leaders wave away the threat it poses by assuring their people that what it does has nothing to do with its stated motives, principles and goals. “UPDATE: Sinai attack death toll reaches 74,” AFP, July 1, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann): CAIRO – Thirty-six Egyptian […]
In 2008, Christians could speak their opinions and stand on their faith while understanding their voice was respected in the public square. In 2015, however, those same Christians are in grave danger of losing legal standing because their beliefs are pitted against a brand new, heretofore undiscovered constitutional right. Tolerance is only for those who agree with the mob-rule Left. -The Patriot Post

The Islamic State Wants GazaGoing from bad to worse. Of course they want Gaza; they want the whole region and beyond. And like all devout Muslims, they are mad to destroy the tiny Jewish state. Hamas vs ISIS is a power grab. Hamas shares the jihadis’ hatred of Israel.
Wanted ‘dangerous terrorist’ in connection with Tunisia jihad ‘trying to get into Europe’His family says that he is a good Muslim boy — what could go wrong? His father said that it was ridiculous to suggest he was a terrorist, or connected with thekilling by Seifeddine Rezgui of 39 tourists in Sousse, and suggested he was being framed by the police. Islamophobia run amok …. on a Tunisian beach. His father, Mohammad Najib Tayari, a 48-year-old taxi driver, said: “They know he’s in Libya, I don’t understand why they have got to terrorise us and raid our house.” This the father’s idea of “terrorism”?
France: Muslim who placed severed head between Islamic flags denies jihad motiveMedia headlines are blaring this logic-defying lie as some sort of vindication of their cowardice in reporting the jihadic motive behind last weekend’s beheading of an American factory owner in France. They are waving this declaration the way ISIS waves the black flag of jihad. It would be laughable if it weren’t so savage and real. First off, why is the beheader’s obvious deception taken at face value? The media motives assigns the most nefarious and disgusting motives to those of us opposing jihad. But the lies, the taqiyya of a devout Muslim who beheads an infidel after trying to blow up an American factory is given … the benefit of the doubt? The media has no basis for the motives it assigns to counter... Christian Aid releases anti-Israel video in the wake of genocide of Christians by jihadistsMadness. “Christian Aid” — its very name is an insult to every Christian victim of jihad. In this brand new video, Christian Aid talks about justice and equality, but mentions Hamas only once in the whole video. It also uses words like “occupied land” and “occupier,” and removes completely the root of the problem from the whole conflict, which is the terrorist group Hamas, and gives a single-sided view of the conflict. This is a vicious, anti-Israel piece of propaganda by an organization that should be saving the lives of Christians under Islamic law, instead of acting as organ grinder’s monkey to their executioners.

Sharia Free Speech Ban: Muslims Whine/Sue When it Applies to Them, TooFunny, but when the government shuts down our speech, the elites in the enemedia, academia and culture rejoice. But when the same standard is applied to them, the caterwauls and tantrums begin. How does slavery taste, wretches? Under the guise of a movie advertisement, Islamic apologists and supremacists want to run a propaganda campaign lampooning those who oppose jihad and sharia. But in order to impose the ban legally, the MTA rejected their ad. “Muslim Advocates” claim they submitted their campaign before the ban. Well, so did we — we submitted six other ads before the ban. And all of them were canned with the ban. “Muslim Advocates” are suing.

Tunisia Jihad: Seven more Muslims arrested in at least three different citiesAs the number of jihadists involved in the Tunisia jihad massacre grows, UK PM Cameron said it was time for his country to become “intolerant of intolerance” and crack down on the ideas that fuel Islamic State group-inspired terrorism. Typically, British Muslims and their leftist apologists “worry that such sentiments and steps risk criminalizing religious conservatism or nonviolent free speech.” The body count, the human toll is a religious right — an Islamic imperative — that’s the priority. That’s what matters. Not stopping the slaughter, but ensuring that the ideology that commands this bloodshed remains untouched and off limits. 200% rise in Islamic terror arrests among British teens. ... UK Muslim father forced 14-year-old daughter to marry man in his 30sShe was 14? Well past her prime! Muhammad, “the perfect model,” married his favorite wife Aisha when she was six years old. So under the sharia, this savage father is well within his Islamic rights.

“The truth is, that, even with the most secure tenure of office, during good behavior, the danger is not, that the judges will be too firm in resisting public opinion, and in defence of private rights or public liberties; but, that they will be ready to yield themselves to the passions, and politics, and prejudices of the day.” —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833
With a wave of his magic wand, Barack Obama just gave five million workers a raise — or so he’d like you to believe. In an op-ed explaining his new regulations on overtime pay for salaried workers, Obama wrote, “We’ve got to keep making sure hard work is rewarded. Right now, too many Americans are working long days for less pay than they deserve. That’s partly because we’ve failed to update overtime regulations for years — and an exemption meant for highly paid, white collar employees now leaves out workers making as little as $23,660 a year — no matter how many hours they work. … [M]y plan [is] to extend overtime protections to nearly 5 million workers in 2016, covering all salaried workers making up to about $50,400 next year.” And who doesn’t want a raise? Naturally, his proposal will be popular with those who think they stand to benefit, as well as those in need of an Economics 101 refresher. The real-world results will be that employers hire fewer workers, pay lower base wages, cut hours and nix benefits like work-from-home scenarios for employees who now have to scrupulously track their hours. Just mandating higher wages doesn’t mean businesses can afford to pay them. The conservative approach is to actually grow the economy — which, notably, Obama has not done. As John F. Kennedy once said, “A rising tide lifts all boats.” Not just the ones Obama points to with his wand.
Last night, the State Department released 3,000 pages of Hillary Clinton’s email from when she served as secretary of state. This is the first batch of emails it released in response to a judge ordering the department to place Clinton’s emails in the public record on a rolling basis. Americans will get an email dump every month until the Democrat primary in January. Cue a Hillary headache. Nate Jones, expert in the Freedom of Information Act at the National Security Archive housed at George Washington University, said he would be watching how much information the State Department redacts. “The emails were unclassified, so it will be eyebrow-raising if any more content is retroactively classified by State,” Jones said. “It will be extremely troubling if State wastes its resources to unnecessarily censor ‘deliberative process’ emails which Clinton herself stated she wants released.” Sure enough, the State Department redacted 25 emails because it deemed them classified. It also went ahead and struck the name of a manwhose birthday Clinton’s office was celebrating. Last week, the House Select Committee on Benghazi discovered through interviewing Clinton lackey Sidney Blumenthal that Clinton’s staffsanitized the emails before dumping them on State. For all the platitudes, the effort to get the Clinton docs in the public record is all but sincere.
The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to add to next term’s docket Friderichs v. California Teachers Association, a lawsuit that could significantly loosen teachers unions grip over California and 19 other states. Because those states abide by the “closed shop” rule, collective bargaining requires that public teachers, even non-unionized ones, turn over portions of their paychecks to Democrat activists masquerading as unions. That’s not a bargain at all, which is why lead plaintiff Rebecca Friedrichs, a frustrated teacher veteran, filed a lawsuit two years ago to abolish the arbitrary system. Terry Pell, president of the Center for Individual Rights, the firm representing the plaintiffs, said in 2013, “We are going to get this case to the Supreme Court and win, and if we do, we will eliminate the close shop rules.” He was right about the first part, but we won’t know about the second for another year. But Reason’s Robby Soave believes that SCOTUS will get this one right. “The conservative 5-4 majority in 2012’s Knox v. SEIU essentially invited such a challenge, and the decision today by the Court to hear the case is a very good sign,” he writes. Furthermore, “A big win for Friedrichs could have massive consequences. California is just one of 20 ‘closed-shop’ states that require non-members to pay union dues. Compulsory unionization could be ruled unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds nationwide.” Recent rulings — namely on ObamaCare — caution us against high expectations, but unions have been put on high alert either way. Even an unfavorable ruling won’t silence the growing, vocal opposition to union contortions.

The Supreme Court’s Obergefell v. Hodges decision forcing states to recognize same-sex marriage has sparked a debate about whether the decision also provides legal precedent requiring states to recognize concealed carry permits. Let’s weigh that argument.
Bob Owens at Bearing Arms fired first, explaining, “The Court used Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment to justify their argument. … By using the Constitution in such a manner, the Court argues that the Due Process Clause extends ‘certain personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy’ accepted in a majority of states across the state lines of a handful of states that still banned the practice.”
Comparing Obergefell to concealed carry reciprocity, Owens points out, “The vast majority of states are ‘shall issue’ on the matter of issuing concealed carry permits, and enjoy reciprocity with a large number of other states.” And concealed carry is certainly “accepted in a majority of states across the state lines of … states that still [ban] the practice.” Before Obergefell, 14 states did not recognize his concealed carry permit. He argues the ruling means they must.
It’s certainly interesting that attorney Marc Greendorfer’s amicus brief against same-sex marriage filed for the Obergefell case invokes the Second Amendment. Greendorfer wrote, “One day, this Court will have to explain how sweeping restrictions on every aspect of firearms ownership and use can be upheld yet traditional and long-standing regulations on marriage cannot be tolerated in any form or in any jurisdiction. … [After Heller], a number of state and local governments imposed draconian restrictions on firearms, claiming that the restrictions were reasonable and common sense, and did not infringe the core right protected by the Second Amendment.”
It’s true that the Supreme Court did not limit its interpretation of Due Process to same-sex marriage. But we also don’t hold out much hope that Owens' interpretation will, er, carry the day.
Three legal experts weighed in on the subject for Independent Journal Review, and their take is more sobering.
Ilya Somin, professor of law at George Mason University, offered some optimism. “I think this argument may be plausible, but it is far from an open and shut case,” he said. “[T]he Supreme Court has not ruled that having a concealed carry permit is a ‘personal choice central to individual dignity and autonomy.’ It hasn’t even (so far) ruled that the right to conceal-carry … is protected by the Second Amendment. … [I]n the case of concealed carry permits, the Court has never ruled that states are required to issue them to their own citizens. I think such a ruling might well be required by the Second Amendment. But it hasn’t happened yet.”
But Robert A. Levy, Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies at Cato Institute, put a damper on even such guarded optimism: “No. The Obergefell Court applied the Due Process Clause to ‘certain personal choices central to personal dignity and autonomy.’ I doubt that the Court would interpret that phrase to encompass a federal constitutional right to concealed carry. Nor would the Court rule that any right enforceable under the laws of, say, 36 states must therefore be extended to the remaining states.”
And Trevor Burrus, Research Fellow at Cato, warned, “If proponents want to bring a case on concealed carry and cite the Obergefell opinion, they are free to… [But] gay marriage [doesn’t] automatically convey a right to concealed carry in 50 states. Moreover, by using these spurious arguments, advocates … harm the overall movement for gun rights. Bad arguments can create bad precedents that could impair the expansion of the right to self defense.”
Finally, economist John Lott, who has written extensively on guns, wrote our publisher Mark Alexander to give his opinion: “I don’t think that the decision will make any difference for gun rights, as the four liberal justices who voted for it don’t believe that there is a right to self-defense or a right to own guns, let alone a right to be able to carry a concealed handgun. You might get one vote for a pro-gun position using that argument, but it would only be Kennedy.”
In the world of SCOTUS and the Left, you must be careful what you wish for. We don’t exactly trust our “Supremes” to read the Second Amendment any better than they do the Tenth and Fourteenth. But that isn’t to say national concealed carry reciprocity isn’t worth aiming for.

Star Parker: “[Justice Anthony] Kennedy is so absorbed in creating reality that he appears oblivious that any reality might exist outside his own imagination. He notes ‘deep transformations’ in our understanding of marriage, and that ‘these new insights have strengthened, not weakened, the institution of marriage.’ Really? In 1960, 9 percent of American adults over 25 had never married. Today it is 20 percent. In a recent Pew Research survey, only 47 percent said it is ‘very important’ that a couple legally marries if they plan to spend the rest of their lives together. In 1960, about 5 percent of our babies were born to unwed mothers. Now it is 41 percent. Sixty-one percent of Americans now say out-of-wedlock birth is morally acceptable. … The marriage redefinition movement has been driven by two motivations: 1) de-legitimization of religion, and 2) expansion of the welfare state. … It is no accident that as marriage has broken down, dependence on government has exploded. The percentage of our national budget consisting of transfer payments to individuals has expanded from less than 30 percent in 1960 to around 70 percent today.”

THE WATCHMAN ON THE WALL SOUNDING THE ALARM
In the U.S., even raising the possibility that mosques might be teaching hatred and sedition is enough to get you charges of “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” No U.S. official and no one in the mainstream media will even consider the possibility. In fact, so entrenched is the assumption that the mosques in the U.S. are bastions […]
Today we have a “Palestinian” shot by Israeli security forces and then taken to an Israeli hospital after trying to run through an Israeli checkpoint while screaming “Allahu akbar,” and an Israeli shot dead by “Palestinians” while riding in a car. Guess which one will be accorded the moral high ground by the Western intelligentsia […]
Islamophobia is breaking out in the Philippines! “If Bangsamoro, or ‘Moro Country’ with Moro being colloquial for ‘Muslim’, were ruled under sharia, non-Muslims would become second-class citizens with drastically reduced rights.” Muslim separatist groups have increased their deadly jihad attacks in recent years after decades of violence… “Christians Fear Creation of Muslim Sub-State in Philippines,” Morning Star News, June […]
This is what I have been saying for well over a decade now: that Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence, and that condemnations by Muslim groups aren’t enough, when nothing is being done within Muslim communities to counter the jihadis’ appeal and prevent young Muslims from accepting their understanding […]
“The severed head of his boss was found hanging on the fence of a site belonging to U.S-based gas and chemicals company Air Products, next to flags bearing professions of the Muslim faith. Examination of one of Salhi’s phones revealed he had taken a picture of himself with the severed head before his arrest and […]
Obama’s JV team continues to play above its level, while Western leaders wave away the threat it poses by assuring their people that what it does has nothing to do with its stated motives, principles and goals. “UPDATE: Sinai attack death toll reaches 74,” AFP, July 1, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann): CAIRO – Thirty-six Egyptian […]
Those who claim that the checkpoints are a violation of human rights want you to ignore the murder and mayhem that many “Palestinians” would sow in Israel were they given the opportunity. Note also that “the suspect was transferred to Shaare Zedek Medical Center.” How many Israelis receive treatment in “Palestinian” hospitals? “Palestinian shot after […]

This is the first time they have beheaded women. But the Qur’an says to “strike the necks” of unbelievers (47:4); it doesn’t specify that they must be male. “Daesh beheads 2 women in Syria,” AFP, June 30, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Daesh has beheaded two women in Syria on accusations of ‘sorcery,’ […]
At PJ Media today I provide a case study of how the freedom of speech is under threat today: Do we really still have freedom of speech in this country? An absurd question. Right? We still have the First Amendment, we still have the freedom to criticize any belief system and any individual. Don’t we? […]
