Misplaced Muslim Priorities
Sam Harris delivers the goods on Islam, censorship and a "psychopathic skewing of priorities" today at the Huffington Post: "The point is not (and will never be) that some free person spoke, or wrote, or illustrated in such a manner as to inflame the Muslim community. The point is that only the Muslim community is combustible in this way. The controversy over Fitna, like all such controversies, renders one fact about our world especially salient: Muslims appear to be far more concerned about perceived slights to their religion than about the atrocities committed daily in its nameReaders will find links... ... more

Robert Spencer Addresses ISNA's Attack On McCain For Calling Islamic Terrorism - Islamic Terrorism
Muneer Fareed, Secretary General for the Islamic Society of North Amercia (ISNA), is angry with John McCain for using the Islamic terrorism; here, Robert Spencer explains why Fareed should be directing his anger towards someone else and learn English grammar. Let's recall that the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is directly controlled by Saudi Arabia and enforces the highly radical Wahhabi theological writ in America's 1,200 officially recognized mosques (out of a possible total of 4,000, including unrecognized and small congregations), by which ISNA controls most mosques in America and thus also controls who will speak at every Friday... ... morePosted at 12:50 PM | Comments (0) | TrackBack

Yemen: 8-year-old girl demands a divorce because she wants to "have a respectful life"
Nojoud Muhammed Nasser, 8, went to court by herself in Yemen. Nasser (8-year-old) complained about her husband's behavior. He used to do bad things to me, and I had no idea as to what a marriage is. I would run from one room to another in order to escape, but in the end he would catch me and beat me and then continued to do what he wanted. I cried so much but no one listened to me. One day I ran away from him and came to the court and talked to them. ... Whenever I wanted to play... ... morePosted at 9:28 AM | Comments (1)

Behold the wisdom (despotic logic) of the Saudi cleric, Muhammad al-Munajid
Behold the wisdom of Saudi cleric, Muhammad al-Munajid, who also has some thoughts on colored underwear and, er, how to urinate piously:"The problem is that they want to open a debate on whether Islam is true or not, and on whether Judaism and Christianity are false or not. In other words, they want to open up everything for debate... It begins with freedom of thought, it continues with freedom of speech, and it ends up with freedom of belief."As David Thompson notes (who has the video), Al-Munajid doesn't seem terribly concerned with the numinous, or even with an erratic and... ... morePosted at 9:47 AM

Religion Of Peace Update
Muslims in Turkey are marching against Fitna, which they say is a movie that links Islam to violence. Imagine that? What on earth would cause someone to associate Islam with violence in today's world? On the other hand, what rational human being that isn't deaf, dumb and blind could think otherwise? After all, it's not Baptists, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhists, and atheists that are constantly threatening violence, chopping off heads, blowing up infidels and fellow Muslims that either disagree with the Islamists' theofascist ideology or just happen to be in the wrong place at the time an Islamonutjob wanted to... ... morePosted at 2:52 PM

Religion of Peace Report: Muslim Lawyer Says 'Non-Muslims Deserve to Be Punished'
A report posted on Islam Watch, a site run by Muslims who oppose intolerant teachings and hatred for unbelievers, offers this interesting exchange between a member of "Islam Watch," a prominent Islamic cleric, and a Muslim lawyer who supports extreme punishment for non-Muslims -- including killing and rape:[...] "Because non-Muslims are never innocent, they are guilty of denying Allah and his prophet," the Imam says, according to the report.

On 'Pathological Denial' And The Organization Of The Islamic Conference's ''Jaw-Dropping'' Claim Of Westerners' ''Defaming'' Islam. (Updated)

Two Asian 'Youths' (Muslims) In UK Attack Priest In His Church
The scum that British media call Asian "youths" are in fact Asian Muslims that attacked a priest in his church and jeered at him about his faith. As Robert Spencer so aptly notes - Welcome to the New Britain: "Priest hurt in faith-hate attack." A priest has been attacked in the grounds of his church, in what police described as a "faith-hate" crime. Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, was injured by two Asian youths at the church, in Tower Hamlets, east London.

How can they possibly afford to ignore what's at work in their community, especially in light of Mahdi Bray's appearance in town just a few months ago.

On Western Government's Partitioning the World for Islam
Ted Belman at Israpundit charges that Yugoslavia and Israel, two of the current flashpoints of the conflict, are demonstrations of the degree and extent to which the world will go to destroy other countries in order to accommodate Muslims. He is, of course, absolutely right. The West is essentially rolling-over for Islam: Why exactly have the KLA and the PLO earned what the Basque of Spain, the Kurds of Iraq, the Armenians and a host of other nationalities been denied?

'The Muslim Libel Cases': Nothing Less Than 'Legal Jihad'
As Anti-Jihadist points out, "the Muslim jihad against the west and their other enemies is not just with bombs or babies, It's also about taking full advantage of Western laws and courts and using those to silence anyone who questions Islam or is against Sharia." And although "much hay was made in the blogosphere of the 'Flying Imams' case, it is just the tip of the iceberg: "History is also full of cases by Islamic organizations and individual Muslims who try to use Western litigation to stop the fountain of knowledge.

Saudis give big to promote Islamic studies in U.S.
Our "friends" the Saudis are still paying big bucks to "promote understanding and change America's perceptions of Islam in the most fertile place, the university campus" (more correctly - prosylitize wahabbism - the most violent form of Islamism). As Robert Spencer puts it, they are spending big to promote Islamic studies their way - deception and half-truth, vilification of truth-tellers, and an overarching supremacist agenda. The result is that American universities have been allowing themselves to be purveyors of Saudi influence and opinion.

Zuhdi Jasser: 'Exposing the "Flying Imams'
We've previously noted that the entire "praying imams" event fits squarely in the Islamist agenda to use our freedoms and legal systems against us and was planned, evidenced by the almost immediate request by Muslim Congressman-elect Keith Ellison to meet with executives of US Airways and the Metropolitan Airports Commission. The "playing out of an agenda" has been so obvious that it was actually hypothesized in an Investors Businesss Daily editorial, then proven. Now in The Middle East Quarterly - Winter 2008, M. Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, takes the "Flying Imams" and their attempt... ... morePosted at 11:36 AM

Saying that 'Radical Islam wants us dead' is a truism and denying it is societal suicide.
While the jihadists act on their Islam, flaunt their Islam, and aggressively push their Islam among peaceful Muslims, non-Muslims must evidently see no Islam, hear no Islam, speak no Islam, and pretend that what is happening has completely different causes and motivations from what the jihadists themselves explain them to be.- Robert Spencer. In today's vernacular, radical Muslims are often referred to as jihadists and without exception, all jihadists are Muslims. Clearly, jihadists justify their actions by referring to Islamic teachings, they gain recruits by portraying themselves as the pure and true Muslims, and they murder non-Muslims and even Muslims... ... morePosted at 11:08 AM

Ijaz's Remarks On Romney's 'Muslim' Comment Invites Questions For Ijaz
Islamists, which constitute a large and growing number of Muslims (in America), have loyalty to the ummah first, nationhood (America) last (if at all). This makes the idea of Islamists (a large and growing percentage of American Muslims) living in and accepting a Democracy, an exercise in futility. - HyscienceWhen Mansoor Ijaz, a New York financier and commentator of Pakistani ancestry, asked former Massachusetts Gov.

Islamofascism is to Islam what the Christian Identity Movement is to Christianity (Updated)
Hopefully, a definition of Islamofascism that even the moonbats of the Left can understand: As stated by Muslims Against Sharia, Islam, in its present form, is not compatible with principles of freedom and democracy. Twenty-first century Muslims have two options: we can continue the barbaric policies of the seventh century perpetuated by Hassan al-Banna, Abdullah Azzam, Yassir Arafat, Ruhollah Khomeini, Osama bin Laden, Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, Hizballah, Hamas, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, etc., leading to a global war between Dar al-Islam (Islamic World) and Dar al-Harb (non-Islamic World), or we can reform Islam to keep our rich cultural heritage and to cleanse our... ... morePosted at 9:42 PM

Why Do We Allow The Saudis To Build Mosques In America When No Churches Are Allowed In Saudi Arabia?

You should also recall that one of the key findings of the 9/11 Commission Report was that "Education that teaches tolerance, the dignity and value of each individual, and respect for different beliefs is a key element in any global strategy to eliminate Islamist terrorism."

Islamic Shennanigans of Boston
Jules Crittenden says of the Islamic Society of Boston's dropping of its lawsuit against the Boston Herald, Fox, David Project, etal., "No settlement, it's just over," and adds, "Although in Massachusetts the bar on what consititutes malice and libel in reporting on public officials has dropped to the floor and the bar for accuracy and fairness is through the roof, one may still report on questionable public land deals and links to Islamic extremism."

Tawfik Hamid: How To End Islamophobia
Finally, real moderate Muslims, as opposed to Islamists like the CAIR crowd that are moderate in "claim only," are beginning to speak out against Islamism and the Islamists' pseudo-cause du jour - Islamophobia. Today, Tawfik Hamid addresses the correct way of dealing with Islamophobia, saying that "Islamophobia could end when masses of Muslims demonstrate in the streets against videos displaying innocent people being beheaded with the same vigor we employ against airlines, Israel and cartoons of Muhammad. It might cease when Muslims unambiguously and publicly insist that Shariah law should have no binding legal status in free, democratic societies." Although... ... morePosted at 4:11 PM
Moderate Muslim Group Says "Reason To Worry" About Results From Pew Poll

In his brief review of Robert Spencer's book, The Truth About Muhammad, David Thompson notes how non-Muslim commentators have routinely shied away from key aspects of Muhammad's life and teachings for fear of causing offense or inviting threats of violence. Fortunately, there are Robert Spencers in the world that have not shied away from key aspects of Muhammad's life and teachings. Unfortunately, it is the terrorists, not moderates and reformers, who have the stronger theological argument: "If peaceful Muslims can mount no comeback when jihadists point to Muhammad's example to justify violence, their ranks will always remain vulnerable to recruitment... ... morePosted at 8:01 AM | Comments (2)

British Muslim Woman Living Near Suspected Beheaders: 'Our mosques are importing jihad'
Gina Khan is a British Muslim woman who lives near the men suspected of a plot to kidnap and kill a Muslim soldier. She that the mosques are importing jihad and that its time to stop the radicals. I've heard the exact thing said by many of my Muslim friends here in the states. More specifically, that instead of prayers and religion on Friday, they get anti-Western political speeches of jihad from representatives of CAIR. Much related must read: American Muslims, with us, or against us... ... morePosted at 2:58 PM | Comments (4)

Muslim Students Disrupt Daniel Pipes Speech at UC Irvine (Video): Is UC Irvine A Hotbed of Radical Islam?
When the Muslim Students Union at UC Irvine staged a threatening, thuggish disruption of a talk by Daniel Pipes, LGF readers were there with their cameras.UC Irvine is a hotbed of Muslim radicalism, as we've documented many times at LGF, but you may not have understood how bad it is until you see this.

Dear Dems, Hagel, Snow, And Warner: Try To Remember That Radical Islam Is Not Our Friend And They Want To Kill Us
When I see articles like Disconnected Democrats And Their Poisonous Words I feel compelled to drag out videos like this one: Like the above referred to article points out, "Disconnected Democrats and poisonous words are bringing us nothing but grief, and the promise of much more." Remember that Radical Islam is not our friend, and the radical Islamists are pulling for the Democrats - and Republicans like Hagel, Snow, and Warner.

This, according to the office of Senator Barbara Boxer. During the show, Paula Zahn stated, "Basim Elkarra says he's received hate mail, including a death threat, since the controversy erupted. Senator Boxer's office tells CNN the FBI has investigated, and the death threat is not credible."

Heeding the warning of Islamic protestors who hours earlier had shouted "Pope, don't make a mistake, don't wear out our patience," Benedict made every attempt to avoid hurting the feelings of sensitive Muslims who feared the Pope was attempting to reclaim the Hagia Sophia's status as a great Christian church.

Islamists Protest Indonesia Court's Ruling to Close Doors to Playboy Trial
During the trial of the editor-in-chief of Playboy in Indonesia, the court ordered the doors to be closed. This order inflamed Islamists apparently more than having a magazine with a scantily clad (there was no nudity in Playboy Indonesia) woman on an extra-long magazine page. But follow along with me, if you will, and if you do I'm hoping you can explain something to me. Indecency is against the law in Indonesia.

News flash: It didn't work. Militant Islamists have since imposed sharia law in Aceh and have cornered Indonesian government funds to organise a moral vigilante force that harasses women and stages frequent displays of humiliation and state-sanctioned violence.

While I certainly believe that it is wrong to support the killing of Muslim children, or any non-combatant, CAIR's complaint and action is a severe case of the pot calling the kettle black. As Rusty notes, this is very ironic since this is the same CAIR which has no problem supporting the genocidal maniacs of Hamas [(see "The Religion of Peace (and child abuse)"].

"In the West, the advent of printing meant enormous progress in terms of freedom of thought. Printing made possible the gradual spread of knowledge and the questioning of the established order. Technology and freedom seem to have marched hand in hand. "But in our [Muslim] societies, the opposite seems to have happened.
