UK: Muslim buys trendy hotel, abruptly bans pork and alcohol
The Bermondsey Square Hotel was “previously voted the UK’s trendiest place to stay.” And the thing is, it is still trendy. Nothing is trendier in Britain these days than Sharia compliance.

Pakistan: Religious minorities 4% of population, 50% of blasphemy cases
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are an enormous human rights abuse. Untold numbers of people are victimized and their lives ruined by these accusations. Sometimes even when one is acquitted, a Muslim mob takes matters into its own hands and lynches the accused. Also at times the mere accusation leads to the lynching, as was the case […]
Canada to deport suspected jihad bomber of Paris synagogue
He says he is innocent, and that the whole thing has been a Kafkaesque nightmare. That may be true. Now he will stand trial and we will (one hopes) find out one way or the other. In any case, it may seem strange and jarring to people that a mild-mannered sociology professor could be someone […]

Bosnia police arrest 11 Muslims for involvement in jihad in Syria and Iraq
What? Bosnia? This must be some mistake. We have been told for years that all the Muslims in Bosnia are secularized, moderate and pro-Western, and that only greasy Islamophobes believe there isn’t total unanimity there on such matters. These misunderstanders of Islam must have come from somewhere else. “Bosnia police arrest 11 suspected of involvement […]
