Jordanian MP: “I hate the Jews. I hate the Jews. I hate the Jews.”
Attieh calls the Israeli ambassador “that pig, the descendent of apes and pigs.” That is from the Qur’an, which says that Allah transformed disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166). Anyway, note the irony: Westerners who agree with Attieh’s perspective consider themselves to be loving and tolerant, while branding those who oppose this […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Rep. Sherman’s big idea
In FrontPage I discuss Representative Brad Sherman’s great idea: we should combat the Islamic State ideology. Indeed so, but he demonstrates that he holds a key (and common) false assumption. Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) had a great idea Tuesday: the U.S. needs to combat the Islamic State not just militarily, but ideologically. Speaking at a congressional hearing, he […]
UK Muslims get 12 years for traveling to Syria to join the jihad
These are the clowns who ordered The Koran for Dummies and Islam for Dummies from Amazon, a factoid that has been seized upon by apologists for Islam including Mehdi Hasan and Karen Armstrong as evidence that Muslims going to Syria and Iraq to join the jihad don’t really know anything about Islam, and are motivated […]
Al-Qaeda kills U.S. hostage during failed rescue attempt by U.S., Yemeni forces
Kidnapping infidels and releasing them for ransom or enslaving them, as well as killing them if that option is deemed most advantageous for the Muslims, is fully sanctioned in Islamic law: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them […]
Egypt: Ex-Muslim says Islamic State follows Qur’an, Muhammad
In response, Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee member Sheik Sayyed Zaid doesn’t — at least in this clip — respond to the Qur’an verses that Harqan quotes. Instead, he just claims that the Islamic State is a Jewish plot. “Egyptian Human Rights Activist Ahmad Harqan: ISIS Is Doing what the Prophet Muhammad Did,” MEMRI, n.d.: In an […]
India court: Sharia trumps ban on child marriage
Islamic apologists in the West routinely deny that Muhammad married a child or that Islamic law sanctions child marriage. Stories like these show that they’re lying. In reality, few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad […]
Germany: Police close mosque for spreading Islamic State ideology
The mosque’s management is accused of “promoting ISIL values and encouraging young Muslims in the city to travel to Syria and Iraq, and join the ranks of the group, along with Al-Nusra Front.” Egyptian Human Rights Activist Ahmad Harqan recently said that the Islamic State and Boko Haram are following the Qur’an doing “what the […]

UK: Lord Mayor leaves Islamic charity lunch after his lady consort told she had to sit downstairs
Now the Islamic group says it was all a misunderstanding, and that he could have sat with her had he wished. But what about everyone else? “Ticket order forms for the event on Charity Week’s website featured separate boxes for ‘sisters’ and ‘brothers.’” Prominent people like Thomas may have been able to avoid the Sharia […]
European Court of Human Rights orders France to pay damages to Somali pirates
Absurd? Yes. Surprising? No. And its net effect will be to embolden these jihadi pirates, knowing they can count on the European Court of Human Rights to have their back. “Court tells France to pay damages to Somali pirates,” BBC, December 4, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): The European Court of Human Rights […]
