Background, overview and recap articles:

Don't Make the Muslims Angry. The world's one billion Muslims, whose delicate emotions are always infuriated by something, enforce an Islamic status quo in which no non-Muslim dares to violate the Muslim superiority complex. A Danish newspaper can't print cartoons that a few Imams don't like or the billion Muslims will get angry. Burger King can't have ice cream that Muslims think resembles the name of their god or a billion Muslims will get angry. America can't defend itself against Islamic terrorism or a billion Muslims will get angry. Jews in Israel and Christians in Egypt can't have their civil rights or a billion Muslims will get angry. Some might say that the billion Muslims are just looking for things to get angry at... but that would just make a billion Muslims angry.

Dear Moderate Muslims: Your Self-Pity Party Is Disgusting. Islam is not a race but an expressly prescribed religious and political ideology. One that demands violence of its ardent supporters. Leftism is a prescribed ideology that demands the tolerance of any "marginalized minorities," be it perceived or otherwise. When it came to calling our enemy "Islamic terrorists" the left refused. When it came to placing the security of its own, free people over that of Islamic, Syrian refugees, the left refused. When the Muslims demand sympathy in claiming to be falsely maligned, the left immediately obliges.

Timely news and commentary:

The War for the Future of American Education. On August 26, 2020, in a federal court in Phoenix, Arizona, Judge Susan Brnovich handed down a ruling in favor of Professor Nicholas Damask and Maricopa Community College District, and against the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Mohamed Sabra. Mr. Sabra was offended by three quiz questions that he alleged compromised his ability to practice his religion. The questions were about the inspiration for terrorism that radical Muslims found in Islamic holy texts. Although the questions never asserted that all Muslims interpret the texts as inspiring acts of terrorism, Mr. Sabra and CAIR thought this offense needed to be turned, quite literally, into a federal case. The case was less about the three questions than whether or not CAIR and an offended student could determine and control course content simply because they deemed it offensive. Had they won, it would have been a blow to academic freedom and the First Amendment.

Will France Finally Rain Justice Down on Islamic Terrorists? A court case in Paris began on September 2, 2020 to render justice concerning a series of terrorist attacks in recent French history. The case is occurring after five years of investigation and delay, partly due to COVID-19, which caused the closing of most French courthouses, with the trial of 14 suspects, three in absentia, accused of being connected with those responsible for the terror attacks on the satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo in central Paris and following events — the attack on a kosher supermarket, Hypercacher, in east Paris and other sites for three days beginning on January 7, 2015. The suspects are charged with being involved in the logistics and preparation of the events, helping finance and providing operational materials and weapons in support of the jihadists. Because of its unusual nature, and the judicial and political importance of the trial, which is expected to last two months, the high-security proceedings are to be filmed.

Charlie Hebdo to reprint Prophet Muhammad cartoons on day Islamist attackers of French satirical magazine go on trial. French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which was targeted by jihadists in 2015, is to republish the controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad ahead of the trial of the gunmen this week. A special edition of the magazine on Wednesday [9/2/2020] will feature interviews with family members of the victims of the terrorist attack, an article on the public's attitude towards freedom of expression and a reprint of Islam-themed cartoons, including those featuring the Prophet Muhammad, Charlie Hebdo announced on Tuesday. The prophet cartoons triggered the 2015 spree of terror violence in Paris, in which 17 people were killed over the course of three days. Of those lives, 12 were lost in the January 7 raid on the Charlie Hebdo office. The 12 drawings were initially published by a Danish daily in 2005 and then reprinted by the French magazine.

Kanye West is slammed for 'making a mockery' of Islam after naming latest model of his £180 Yeezy trainers after the Islamic angels of judgement and death. Kanye West has been slammed for 'making a mockery' of Islam after naming his new £180 trainers after the Islamic angels of judgement and death. The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Israfil is already being stocked by Adidas, while the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Asriel is expected to be released next month. Social media users have taken aim at the former artist and sports company, accusing them of making an 'extremely hurtful insult' for the naming which they 'must make amends for'.

Brunei makes celebrating Christmas a criminal offense. Imagine the outcry if any nation had made celebrating any Islamic festival a criminal offense. But no one will take any significant note of this.

Muslim Uber Driver Strands Couple When He Refuses To Let Them in Car With a Ham. A couple were left stranded and out of pocket after a rideshare driver refused to pick them up because they had a Christmas ham[.] The couple had been for dinner at their local RSL in Melbourne's south-east on Tuesday night, and picked up a ham they'd won there a few weeks ago. They ordered an Uber, but as they approached the car the driver told them the ride was cancelled.

Burger King Takes the 'Ham' Out of 'Hamburgers' to Avoid Offending Muslims. In a gesture of respect toward its Muslim customers in South Africa, Burger King is dropping the word "ham" from the names of hamburgers on its South African menu. The practice will affect three items offered by the restaurant chain, the company said in a statement to Business Insider. The "Double Spicy Hamburger" will now be known simply as the "Double Spicy Burger." The "Triple Hamburger with Cheese" is now the "Triple Burger with Cheese." Meanwhile, the "Hamburger King Jr" will now be known as the "Kids Burger."

Austria: Muslim drivers refuse to take blind people and their "unclean" guide dogs with them in taxis. Taxi drivers in Austria refuse to transport blind people with guide dogs despite the fact that it violates the law. The reason is that Allah has branded dogs as "impure". Gabriele Jandrasits from Innsbruck wanted to pre-order a taxi to the airport — and take her little dog, a Beagle Jack Russell mongrel, with her in an aircraft-compatible transport cage. But even though she called the evening before, she was told by the radio taxi office that there was no guarantee of transport for the next morning — the reason being that most drivers would refuse to take dogs with them on religious grounds.

Dogs Not Welcome: Growing Calls By Muslims To Accommodate Their Hatred Of Dogs. CTV of Vancouver reported that numerous flyers had been posted at a local park which read, "Many Muslims live in this area and dogs are considered filthy in Islam. Please keep your dogs on a leash and away from the Muslims who live in this community." The city's mayor was questioned about the signs by CTV and said they had not been issued by the city. However, he said "Whether they were produced by a well-meaning member of the Muslim community or by someone wanting to cause contention, the fact remains that there are current bylaws in place that enforce areas for dogs to be on leash, except in designated off-leash areas."

How many "other religions" are so easily offended? I can only think of one.

Crosses in Italian Cemetery Covered to Avoid Offence to Other Religions. The crosses on graves in an Italian cemetery in Pieve di Cento have been covered with black cloth so as not to offend those who may come from another religion. The cemetery, which is located in Bologna in a town of around 7,000 people, has also installed motorised blackout curtains in a local chapel following renovations to hide Roman Catholic symbols during ceremonies involving other denominations, Il Giornale reports.

Hardline Muslim preacher rages against public urinals and says Allah will punish. A hardline Muslim preacher has declared Allah will punish any Islamic man who uses a wall-mounted public urinal and gets 'splash back' on his shoes. Nassim Abdi, from the ultra-conservative Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jammah Association, has told worshipers at a western Sydney mosque those who failed to clean themselves properly after urinating would be punished 'in the grave'. The Auburn-based preacher accused Muslim men of imitating non-believers, also known as kafirs, by exposing their private parts at wall-mounted urinals in public toilets.

What is the point of all this ridiculous outrage over a shoe? The way Allah is written in Arabic letters, you can start seeing it anywhere if you want to. What is really going on here is revealed when the story below recounts the last time Muslims did this to Nike, in 1997: "Nike promised to "tighten scrutiny of logo design" and committed to upgrading sporting facilities at an American Islamic elementary school." Ah, so it's about shaking down Nike for more free stuff. And reinforcing the principle that everyone, no matter how rich and powerful, must kowtow to Muslim demands when Muslims are enraged.

Nike responds to thousands of angry Muslims who want 'blasphemous' shoe recalled. Nike is assuring potential Muslim customers that it "respects all religions" in response to a Change.org petition calling its Air Max 270 shoe "blasphemous." Roughly 15,000 people have signed the petition, which demands a recall due to "outrageous" printing they say too closely resembles the Arabic script for God. "We urge Nike to recall this blasphemous and offensive shoe and all products with the design logo resembling the word Allah from worldwide sales immediately," the petition states. "I urge all Muslim's and everyone who respects the freedom of religion to sign this petition." The petition does not state how, exactly, the company is infringing upon anyone's right to practice a particular religion.

UK: Outraged Muslims call for boycott over toilet paper 'with Allah symbol'. Outraged Muslims are calling for a boycott of the UK department store Marks & Spencer over an "offensive" roll of toilet paper because they claim it features Allah's name in Arabic. "Outraged Muslims" — how redundant. Another Muslim supremacist power play. The design is actually an aloe vera leaf. But this is all about control.

Child marriage, sex slavery, wife beating, stoning, rape, killing for "allah" — all ok. But this is an outrage in the mind of a Muslim.

Triggered Muslims see "allah" in Arabic on sole of Nike Airmax, demand recall. Outraged Muslims are demanding Nike recall an 'offensive' line of trainers because the logo looks like Allah's name in Arabic. Saiqa Noreen launched a petition to pull the Air Max 270 shoe and has accused the sportswear giant of 'blasphemy'. The petition, which has gained more than 6,000 signatures in just hours, blasts Nike for allowing God's name to be 'trampled, kicked and become soiled with mud or even filth'. The design features the words Air Max spelled out in a custom, joined-up font on the sole of the shoe, which was released last year.

Christians Being Told, "Stop Saying Jesus Is The Son Of God. It Provokes Muslims.". Buried in the concluding paragraphs of a Christmas Eve Washington Times report about Muslims in Uganda forcing Christians to convert to Islam was the extraordinary revelation that in that country, Muslims now consider any public statement of the Christian Faith to be a calculated insult to Muslims, for which they can justifiably exact revenge. This is, or should be, sobering news for the comfortable Christians of the West who have made an idol out of "interfaith dialogue" and fastidiously avoid saying anything remotely critical about Islam, even as the Muslim persecution of Christians continues worldwide.

Islam Got Your Tongue? Just this week, I read two news stories which remind me how far removed we are from taking on the Islamic enemy in a pop culture medium like comic books. In mainstream comics, post-9/11, Muslims are only portrayed as victims or heroes, and we're portrayed as the bad guys. [...] Once again, Muslims can only be portrayed as heroes or victims, or you'll be accused of "Islamophobia" and stereotyping Muslims. The Muslim terrorist IS a stereotype, but only in real life, not in fiction. Here's a litmus test: If you write a story dealing with this post-9/11 world and you aren't called "Islamophobic," then your story is truthless. If you haven't sought out the truth about Islam, then you have no business telling a story that deals with Islam in any way. There are so called "truth-tellers," and then there are those who tell the truth about Islam to a world that doesn't want to hear it. And they'll tell it no matter what. No matter how many Muslims threaten their lives for doing so.

Irish Lecturer Slaughtered In France For 'Insulting Muhammad'. A Pakistani national stabbed an Irish lecturer to death Wednesday in Paris, telling responding police he attacked because the lecturer "insulted the Prophet Muhammad." The attacker, identified by authorities only as 37-year-old Ali R., was seen talking with lecturer John Dowling, 66, outside Pôle Universitaire Léonard de Vinci where Dowling taught English before he brandished a steak knife and stabbed the lecturer in the throat and chest, the Daily Mail reported. Police arrested Ali, a former student of the university, on the scene, where he confessed to stabbing Dowling 13 times because he believed that the lecturer spoke ill of Muhammad.

French city won't honor hero police officer slain by ISIS over concerns of offending Muslims. A French police officer who heroically saved a hostage from an ISIS terrorist will not be honored in public over fears of offending Muslims. Arnaud Beltrame, a police officer from Marseille, France, negotiated with an ISIS terrorist during a March 2018 hostage situation in which he traded himself for a female hostage and was later stabbed to death. Attempts to name the city's 15th district after Beltrame were recently rejected over concerns of offending the Muslim community, Voice of Europe reported Saturday [10/13/2018].

Maldives: Allahu akbar Shouting Police Use Pickaxes to Destroy Artwork Deemed Un-Islamic. It took British artist Jason deCaires Taylor nine months to develop his latest work: a 20-foot-tall stainless steel cube decorated with life-size human statues and semi-submerged in a coral lagoon in crystal blue waters off the Maldives islands. But it took the Maldivian police just a few hours to wreck it. Acting on a court order, police used pickaxes to smash the statues on Friday. Muslim politicians, including the outgoing Maldivian president, had deemed the artwork un-Islamic because it depicted human figures. Local police tweeted photos of men using electric saws, ropes and axes to dislodge the statues.

British artist's unique 'tidal' art gallery at Maldives resort is destroyed by police with pickaxes after it is deemed 'offensive to Islam'. Police armed with pickaxes and power tools have destroyed the world's first tidal gallery at a holiday resort in the Maldives after it was deemed 'offensive to Islam'. The gallery, at the Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi, which opened in July, featured semi-submerged exhibits that disappeared and reappeared as the tide went in and out. But Abdulla Yameen, the outgoing president of the tourist nation, home to 340,000 Sunni Muslims, ordered the sculptures to be demolished. Islam, the official religion in the Maldives, bans the depiction of idols, and the work provoked some criticism from clerics even though the statues have no religious symbols or meaning.

FBI 'won't touch it' for fear of offending Muslims.

Refugees sending 'suitcases of welfare cash' home to Somalia. Men and women pulling "suitcases full of cash" started showing up at Seattle's Sea-Tac Airport last year holding tickets for international flights bound for Africa. Transporting large amounts of cash overseas is perfectly legal. But it was who was carrying the money ... and where it was going that caught the attention of law enforcement, according to a report by KING 5, the local NBC affiliate for western Washington. Those hauling the cash-laden cases were Somali-Americans who'd come to this country as refugees. They routinely send money back to Somalia. And many of the greenbacks headed to the jihadist-infested East African country come from welfare checks the refugees receive from the U.S. government, compliments of American taxpayers. Carrying more than $10,000 while traveling out of the United States is legal as long as the traveler declares it by filling out a one-page federal form. It was while looking at these slips of paper that terrorism expert Glenn Kerns found a disturbing pattern.

Church forced to remove the word 'Jesus' from its Easter advertising as the word is considered to be offensive to non-Christians. A church has been forced to remove the word 'Jesus' from its signs ahead of Easter because it has been causing offence. Elim Church on the Central Coast in New South Wales paid for digital signs to be displayed at Erina Fair shopping centre reading 'the greatness of His Power'. Pastor Martin Duffy told 2GB radio that shopping centre manager Lendlease objected to the signs and forced them to be changed to read 'Risen Christ' instead of 'Jesus'.

Muslims burn Pampers baby diapers because of cartoon cat. Muslim protests in India are calling for a boycott of Pampers products after claiming to have seen the word 'Mohammed' in the face of a cartoon cat which appears on its nappies. The lines illustrating the whiskers, nose, mouth and left eye of the smiley feline have been suggested to resemble the Prophet's name when written in Arabic or Urdu, although the company that makes the products vehemently denied the claims.

Muslims burn piles of Pampers. Muslim protests in India are calling for a boycott of Pampers products after claiming to have seen the word 'Mohammed' in the face of a cartoon cat which appears on its nappies. The lines illustrating the whiskers, nose, mouth and left eye of the smiley feline have been suggested to resemble the Prophet's name when written in Arabic or Urdu, although the company that makes the products vehemently denied the claims. Procter and Gamble in a statement that said they would never intend to offend any person or religion and the the design showed 'an innocent animated representation of a cat.'

Year of the Dog exposes growth of Islamic conservatism in Malaysia. With the Lunar New Year round the corner, Chinese around the world are preparing to welcome the Year of the Dog. But in Malaysia, where people of ethnic Chinese descent make up almost a quarter of the population, images of the dog have been omitted fromLunar New Year decorations and merchandise for fear of offending the country's Muslim majority.

Beardless men might be mistaken for women, prompting 'indecent thoughts' — Turkish cleric. In an effort to get Muslim men to grow out their facial hair, a Muslim preacher has claimed that clean-shaven men with long hair "cannot be distinguished from women," which can cause "indecent thoughts" to occur between males. "Men should grow beards. One of the two body parts that separate men from women is the beard," Turkish preacher Murat Bayaral told religious station Fatih Medreseleri TV on Saturday, as quoted by Hurriyet. He went on to describe a possible scenario in which a man could find himself having "indecent thoughts" about another man.

The Editor says...

If the only difference you can detect between men and women is that men have beards, you need to get your eyes checked. Or maybe it says something about the quality of the women in your town.

French High Court orders removal of cross above statue of Pope John Paul II because it is offensive to Muslims. The French administrative court has ordered the removal of a cross from a monument to Saint John Paul II in a public square in the northwest of France, saying it violates the secular Islamic nature of the state. Italian media noted the irony of the ruling, remarking that the cross-removal is not taking place "in Raqqa, the capital of the Islamic State in Syria, but in Brittany, in the heart of Western Europe."

Canadian landlord fined $12G for not taking shoes off in Muslim tenant's home. A Canadian landlord who was fined $12,000 for wearing shoes in a Muslim tenant's home said he felt "humiliated" by the harsh penalty levied by a national human rights tribunal. In an interview with the Toronto Sun, John Alabi, 52, of Brampton, recounted how he went above and beyond trying to accommodate the Egyptian-born couple who lived in the apartment for two months — just to be slapped with a steep fine for the shoe incident. "I go beyond all that. I just see everybody as human beings like me. That's why I took them in," Alabi told the Toronto Sun in May. "We got along. And then all of a sudden I'm a racist?"

Christian Slapped with $12,000 'Shariah Fine' for Not Removing Shoes. John Alabi, 53, is a Christian and a landlord who lives in the Toronto area and is being ordered to pay a fine of $12,000 by the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal because he failed to remove his shoes when he entered the apartment he was renting to a Muslim couple. His crime? Religious discrimination, according to the tribunal. The tenants were planning to move out of his rental home, and he says he gave the couple the required 24-hours notice that he would be showing the apartment to another tenant. They told him not to come while they were praying, and to text first. He agreed. But when they stopped answering his text messages, he showed the apartment.

Offending Muslims? There is NEVER a Reason Not to Fly the American Flag. Leftists have made it their life's mission to destroy everything we stand for with political correctness. It is a weapon of the progressive movement used both to silence those they disagree with and to indoctrinate as many Americans as possible. And it goes too far when this man is asked not to fly the American flag. In a neighborhood near Houston, Texas, a man was told by his landlord at Lodge on El Dorado that the American flag had to be removed. Why? Because it might be offensive to practicing Muslims.

Do You Care If A Nativity Scene Offends Muslims? Should we change our traditions to bow to political correctness? [...] The attack on Christianity by atheists has been relentless in recent years, and now there is concern by the bleeding-hearts that we might just offend Muslims with our outward expression of our inner faith. Do you care if a Nativity scene offends Muslims?

Muslim Man Gets Angry, Rapes His Own Daughter After Accusing Her Of Being 'Too Western'. In this latest incident from Norway, a "non-European" Muslim man attacked and raped his own daughter after getting mad at her that she was "too western," and then when he was arrested and DNA evidence clearly showed that he raped her, in true Islamic fashion, he denied everything.

Islam's "Canine Genocide" Severely Escalating Across the Entire Muslim World. The indiscriminate "Canine Genocide" is rapidly spreading across the Middle East, and as you will see for yourself, the methods of slaughter and disposal transcend above and beyond cruelty to animals.

Christian boy, 16, facing Death Penalty for offending Muslims in Facebook post. The boy has been arrested and charged with blasphemy after a photo of the Kaaba in Mecca, one of the holiest sites in Islam, appeared on his profile. A Muslim man told police the image, which was part of an alleged derogatory post against Islam on the boy's profile, was insulting and sacrilegious. The black cube-shape is built around an ancient stone at the centre of Islam's most sacred mosque Al-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Locals reportedly claimed the image showed the Kaaba with a pig's head on top.

Imam shoots, kills Jordanian writer at trial over satirical cartoon. A Jordanian writer charged with offending Islam after allegedly sharing a satirical cartoon on his Facebook page has been killed. Nahid Hattar was hit by three bullets outside the court in the capital Amman where he was standing trial. Police have arrested the suspected shooter, Riad Abdullah. Jordanian media said he was local imam who had been upset by the cartoon. But security sources told the Jordan Times he was a known extremist.

Jordanian writer accused of sharing cartoon that offended Muslims shot dead. A prominent Jordanian writer on Sunday [9/25/2016] was shot dead in front of the courthouse where he had been on trial for sharing a cartoon deemed offensive to Islam.

Jordanian writer shot dead as he arrived for trial for insulting Islam. A prominent Jordanian writer, who was on trial for sharing a cartoon deemed offensive to Islam, has been shot dead outside a court in Amman where he was due to appear. Nahed Hattar, 56, was charged with inciting sectarian strife and insulting Islam after posting the cartoon on Facebook this year. The cartoon, entitled The God of Daesh (Isis), depicted an Isis militant sitting next to two women and asking God to bring him a drink.

Mandatory music classes hit a bad note with some Muslim parents. When music class begins this week at Toronto's Donwood Park elementary school, Mohammad Nouman Dasu will send a family member to collect his three young children. They will go home for an hour rather than sing and play instruments — a mandatory part of the Ontario curriculum he believes violates his Muslim faith. The Scarborough school and the Toronto District School Board originally had offered an accommodation — suggesting students could just clap their hands in place of playing instruments or listen to acapella versions of O Canada — but not a full exemption from the class. After a bitter three-year fight, however, Mr. Dasu felt he had no other opton but to bring his kids home.

Muslims more outraged over Fireman Sam cartoon than daily Islamic terror attacks. Muslims think the blank piece of paper in a cartoon is a page from the deadly Koran.

Iran Destroys 100,000 'Morally Damaging' Satellite Dishes. Iran destroyed 100,000 satellite dishes and receivers on Sunday as part of a widespread crackdown against the illegal devices that authorities say are morally damaging, a news website reported. The destruction ceremony took place in Tehran in the presence of General Mohammad Reza Naghdi, head of Iran's Basij militia, who warned of the impact that satellite television was having in the conservative country.

How Much of our Culture Are We Surrendering to Islam? Democracies are, or at least should be, custodians of a perishable treasury: freedom of expression. This is the biggest difference between Paris and Havana, London and Riyadh, Berlin and Tehran, Rome and Beirut. Freedom of expression is what gives us the best of the Western culture. Thanks to the Islamists' campaign, and the fact that now only some "crazies" still venture in the exercise of freedom, are we now going to be just fearful? "Islamophobic" cartoonists, journalists and writers are the first Europeans since 1945 who have withdrawn from public life to protect their own lives. For the first time in Europe since Hitler ordered the burning of books in Berlin's Bebelplatz, movies, paintings, poems, novels, cartoons, articles and plays are literally and figuratively being burned at stake.

Sharia's War on Music. Alarmingly, any engagement in music is becoming illegal in some corners of the globe, and the ideology behind this snuffing out of a beautiful art form threatens to affect the rest of the world as well. We are referring to Islamic Sharia law. Already, in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Mali, musicians have been killed or threatened with removal of their fingers or tongues simply because they make music. Music stores and instruments have likewise been destroyed in the hopes of silencing virtually all styles of music.

Waitress assaulted on French Riviera for 'serving alcohol' on first day of holy month of Ramadan. A waitress in a cafe in central Nice has filed a police complaint after she was allegedly assaulted by two men because she refused to "stop serving alcohol" on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan. The alleged beating in the French Riviera town historically famed for its sun, palm-fringed beach front and quality of life, has prompted a heated political debate over whether the country is increasingly becoming prey to "religious fundamentalism and ghettoised communities".

BBC accused of 'PC nonsense' after saying football fans dressed as knights could be offensive to Muslims. The BBC has been ridiculed over an article suggesting the knight costumes worn by England football fans could be offensive to Muslims. For more than two decades, England supporters have dressed as knights for matches, sporting fake chain-mail and St George's cross tabards. But ahead of Euro 2016, which begins on Friday, the BBC's iWonder website published an article entitled: 'Is it wrong to dress as a crusader for an England match?'

Christian Woman Stabbed To Death For Insulting Muhammad. A Christian woman in Nigeria was stabbed to death Thursday [6/2/2016] for allegedly insulting the Islamic prophet Muhammad, prompting an outcry from Christians in the country. Bridget Abihime, a trader and wife to a Christian pastor, was killed for allegedly saying Muhammad was not important. Nigerian police have taken two suspects into custody, but the Christian Association of Nigeria says the killing is part of a larger problem that the government has not properly addressed.

You would think that one of them would have forseen this situation.

Saudi father shoots doctor shortly after he delivered his wife's baby because he didn't want a man to see his spouse naked. Saudi police have arrested a man after he shot a male doctor shortly after he helped deliver his wife's baby. It is understood the suspect was angry that the hospital had allowed a male doctor, named locally as Muhannad al-Zabn, to treat his wife during birth. The man, who has not been named, is believed to have wanted a female doctor to deliver the baby and was upset that the male doctor would have seen his wife naked.



This drawing stops popular children's book. The children's book "Grandpa is a pirate" has delighted generations of Swedish and Norwegian children. Now the publishing company, however, thinks the drawings provided give a "caricatured image of Arabs," and has decided not to publish any more copies. The author on his side, completely disagrees.

ISIS kill 16 Real Madrid fans in massacre at supporters club headquarters. A group of Islamic State terrorists armed with AK-47s attacked the headquarters of a Real Madrid supporters club — because 'they don't like football'. Three gunmen opened fire around midnight at the Al Furat cafe in Balad, 50 miles north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. It is believed at least 16 people — mainly Real Madrid fans but also cafe staff and other customers — were killed more than 20 people injured.

Islam's Hatred of Dogs and Cruelty to Animals. This special episode of The Glazov Gang was joined by Dr. Peter Hammond, the founder of Frontline Fellowship. Dr. Hammond came on the show to discuss Islam's Hatred of Dogs and Cruelty to Animals, examining the Islamic theological foundations that inspire a hatred of and sadism toward animals. [Video clip]

Riot in refugee camp sees 100 migrants attack each other with chairs and bins after Syrian girl refused to wear a headscarf. Some 100 migrants rioted in a refugee camp in Belgium after Syrian and Iraqi migrants clashed with Afghans because a young girl was not wearing a headscarf. The young Syrian girl at the centre of the dispute had been targeted by the Afghans for days over her refusal to wear the headscarf, an item of modesty clothing often enforced in Islamic countries. But when she was defended by her fellow Syrians, a riot erupted which saw the groups of migrants attacking each other with rubbish bins, chairs and broomsticks.

Iran rules 'decadent' Valentine's Day celebrations a crime. Iranian news outlets reported the police directive Friday [2/12/2016] warning retailers against promoting "decadent Western culture through Valentine's Day rituals."

House Democrat: U.S. Muslims Are Being Radicalized by Politicians Calling for Border Control. Illinois Democratic Senate candidate Rep. Tammy Duckworth said on Monday [2/8/2016] that politicians are contributing to the rise of Islamic terrorists in the United States by calling for stricter immigration laws. Duckworth singled out her Republican opponent, Sen. Mark Kirk, and presidential candidate Donald Trump, as two politicians who are allegedly "play[ing] right into ISIS's hands" and aiding the radicalization of Muslims in the United States during an interview with the Chicago Tribune editorial board. Duckworth made the comments while discussing two Iraqi refugees in Texas and California who were recently arrested on terror related charges.

The Editor says...

One of these days, I need to start a list of all the things the Democrats say are "contributing to the rise of Islamic terrorists in the United States." It will probably be as long as the list of things that Muslims find offensive. Or maybe it's exactly the same list.

Hillary: Don't Make the Tolerant Muslims Angry, Or There'll Be Terror. [Scroll down] So there's some kind of thing in Muslim communities we might need to protect ourselves from, though it has nothing to do with them, and they might not help us if we don't meet all their demands. Like bringing so many more Muslims to America so we'll have even more people who have nothing to do with terrorism... but whose help we constantly need to fight it.

1. Muslims have nothing to do with terrorism

2. We must stay on their good side to avoid Muslim terrorism

It's like saying, Bill Clinton is a great guy. Just don't ever be in a room alone with him or he might rape you. But don't let him get the idea that you think he might rape you... or he'll rape you. This is the relationship with Muslims that Hillary Clinton and a lot of the establishment want us to have. And it's an abusive relationship heavily spiked with denial.

Why would they be opposed to eliminating extremism?

Some Muslim Americans Irritated By Obama's Call For Them To 'Root Out' Extremism. President Obama's request that Muslim Americans help "root out" and confront extremist ideology in their communities is getting mixed reactions. Muslim leaders say they want to help, but some are not happy that they are being singled out.

Ayatollah Trolls U.S.: 'Violence-Breeding,' 'Sickening Manners' Led to Attack. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took to Twitter today [12/6/2015] to rip the United States over the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, arguing it proves that Americans are more prone to violence. As the supreme leader of Iran has done in the past, he also tied the violence to the history of racial inequality in the U.S.

CNN Guest: San Bernardino Office Holiday Party 'May Have Been Offensive' to Muslim Gunman. Just when the liberal media's extrapolations concerning the motives of the San Bernardino gunman couldn't grow any more jaw-dropping, an expert appearing during the 11:00 p.m. Eastern hour of CNN Tonight predicted late Wednesday that the office holiday party where the shooting occurred "may have been offensive" to the Muslim gunman. Criminologist Casey Jordan was called on by host Don Lemon and began by suggesting that the "[d]isgruntled employee" appeared to "have Arabic or Middle Eastern names, but the key is that from the beginning everything that was reported about him, going into this conference room where there was a holiday party which may have been offensive to him."

The Editor says...

If you're offended by a "holiday party" — the name of which is already watered down from "Christmas party" in order to avoid offending anyone — is that a justification for mass murder? Why are Muslims not expected to control themselves when they face offensive situations?

School Cancels Christmas Service In Deference To Muslims. After Muslim pupils refused to sing traditional carols at last year's Christmas service, one Milanese school has switched to hosting a "winter concert" — but many have reacted angrily to the idea. Headmaster Marco Parma of the Istituto Garofani di Rozzano school was forced to resign his post over the weekend after a number of senior figures in Italian political life — including the prime minister — moved to attack his decision to cancel Christmas for his pupils.

15 Excerpts That Show How Radical, Weird And Out of Touch College Campuses Have Become. How radical, weird and out of touch have liberals on college campuses gotten since Obama came into office? It's worse than you ever thought and although there is an almost unlimited number of problematic incidents to choose from, these 15 are particularly effective at getting across how bad things have become. [Example #1:] "College Students Say Remembering 9/11 Is Offensive to Muslims. The everything-is-offensive brand of campus activism has struck a new low: Students at the University of Minnesota killed a proposed moment of silence for 9/11 victims due to concerns — insulting, childish concerns — that Muslim students would be offended."

Paris Attacks: What Does 'Daesh' Mean and Why Does ISIS Hate It? When French President Francois Hollande addressed the nation Saturday in the aftermath of the Paris massacre, he vowed that France "will be unforgiving with the barbarians from Daesh." What is "daesh"? According to Arabic translator Alice Guthrie, "D.A.E.SH is a transliteration of the Arabic acronym formed of the same words that make up I.S.I.S in English: 'Islamic State in Iraq and Syria', or 'al-dowla al-islaamiyya fii-il-i'raaq wa-ash-shaam'." It is a term that most Arab states and many European governments use to refer to the Islamic State or ISIS. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry often uses the term, too.



Finding Allah in Unlikely Places. [Scroll down] Now, perhaps even more absurdly, British Muslims demanded that Burger King recall a line-drawing of an ice-cream cone, arguing that it resembles (what else?) the Arabic lettering for "Allah." A customer, Rashad Akhtar, branded the design "sacrilegious" and said he was "humiliated" by the design. He added: "This is my jihad. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? You are offending Muslims."

Australian Army Chaplains To Lose Christian Motto Because It Might Offend Muslims. The Royal Australian Army Chaplains' Department is to lose their traditional motto held since 1913, because it is offensive to Muslims. The cap badge and motto of the Australian army chaplains is presently identical to those held by the British army, a legacy and tradition dating back to the founding days of the Australian nation as it established itself as a Dominion independent of Great Britain. Emblazoned on a Maltese cross and wreath in purple and gold, the motto 'In This Sign Conquer' is thought to be a reference to the crusades.

Obama EEOC Fights for Religious Liberty — for Muslim Truckers. Well, at least they were not told to bake a cake for a gay wedding. In President Obama's fundamentally transformed America, Christian bakers are forced by the blunt instrument of government mandate to cater a gay wedding regardless of their religious beliefs, but Muslim truckers can now refuse to transport alcohol because their Muslim beliefs and Sharia law prohibits it.

$240,000 jury award to Muslim truck drivers who were fired for refusing to transport alcohol. One more data point on the "When does your religion legally excuse you from doing part of your job?" question — like it or not, under American law, employers sometimes do have to excuse employees from tasks that the employees find religiously objectionable. Tuesday, two Muslim truck drivers who were fired for refusing to deliver shipments containing alcohol were awarded $40,000 in compensatory damages and $200,000 in punitive damages by the jury in their discrimination claim.

Islam and dogs. What's the deal with Islam and dogs? It's this: Dogs are viewed as unclean. More importantly, Mohammed didn't like them — as in wanted them dead. Although there is nothing written in the Quran about dogs, Mohammed's thoughts on all things canine can be found throughout the Hadith (a collection of direct quotes from Mohammed on a range of issues that was compiled after his death). Mohammed warned angels not to enter any home that had a dog. He also ordered that dogs be killed and that none be spared, with a specific directive to kill all black dogs. [...] An increasingly common way Muslims assert supremacy around dog-related issues is when Muslim cab drivers and bus drivers deny service to disabled people with service dogs. One person was told to throw the dog in the trunk or get out of his cab.

To Please One Islamist, Sears Stops Selling Infidel Hats. As if pulling Confederate flags in cooperation with the campaign to eradicate the South as a historic and cultural entity weren't disgusting enough, Sears has now pulled infidel hats, apparently because a single Muslim doesn't like them. [...] The lib media is predictably delighted. No doubt that's why Sears caved instantly.

Sears is removing 'Infidel' hat from website. Sears is responding to critics and removing a controversial hat from its website, the retailer confirmed to Fortune this afternoon [10/19/2015]. The hat is emblazoned with the word "infidel", and was first pointed out by a user on Twitter. "Infidel" is a term often used by anti-Muslim protesters. It is co-opted from Islamic extremists who use the word to describe people that aren't Muslim and especially Westerners. Clothes bearing the term have often been seen at protests of mosques and Islamic community centers.

Muslim man yells at Christian woman on train for putting her feet on chair, then threatens to call police. Last time I checked, England wasn't under Shariah law. Apparently some Muslim man doesn't think so, as he began yelling at a woman on a London train for putting her feet on one of the chairs. She attempts to explain that she is a Christian, and so she has no restrictions on praying with her shoes on, but he doesn't care and says it's wrong in his religion.

Cultural Suicide: A Do-It-Yourself Guide. The Camp of the Saints tells the story of the destruction of European civilization (including its outpost in the United States), partly by a flood of unassimilable wretches from India, partly by a failure of nerve on the part of the custodians of European civilization. The choice, Respail noted in an afterword, was stark: ["]To let them in would destroy us. To reject them would destroy them.["] Is this a false dichotomy? Maybe. But think about this: As I write, Munich is gearing up for Oktoberfest, the annual festival the city has been celebrating since 1810. There will be beer, lots of it, and pork sausages and women in dirndls. A good time will be had by all. Well, almost all — the Muslims are not amused.

DHS: Calling Islamic Terrorism 'Islamic' Offends Muslims. Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson refuses to call Islamic terror "Islamic," arguing it's "critical" to refrain from the label in order to "build trust" among Muslims. In jaw-dropping remarks Friday at Aspen Institute's annual security forum, Johnson said the government will call such attacks "violent extremism" over "Islamic terrorism" out of respect for the Muslim community. The policy explains why the U.S. prosecutor and lead FBI investigator in the Chattanooga case still insist on calling Mohammad Abdulazeez a "homegrown violent extremist," though he blogged about his religious motivations for the attack, and he and his family attended a local mosque controlled by a terror-tied Islamic trust.

Charlie Hebdo Teaches Us Terrorism Does Work. In a resounding victory for the enemies of free speech, Charlie Hebdo will no longer print images of the prophet Muhammad. The satirical French magazine, whose Paris office was attacked by Islamic terrorists in January, killing twelve, recently told a German magazine that it had "done its job." "We have drawn Muhammad to defend the principle that one can draw whatever they want," said editor Laurent Sourisseau, who survived the January 7 massacre by playing dead after taking a bullet to the shoulder. "It is a bit strange, though: we are expected to exercise a freedom of expression that no one dares to."

Sharia-Compliant Saudi Arabia Hosts UN-Backed 'Combating Religious Discrimination' Conference. The OIC, made up of 57 member states, remains stacked with countries that preach the inherently discriminatory Sharia laws system. Member states such as Iran, Pakistan, Syria, and others remain severely derelict lands when it comes to protecting the rights of religious minorities. Saudi Arabia, which hosted the event and retains membership in the OIC, has seen its share of high profile religious discrimination cases. On Sunday, a Saudi court upheld a ruling that saw Raif Badawi, an atheist blogger, condemned to 1,000 lashes and 10 years in prison.

Syria: Isis Executes 3 Pigeons on 'Spying' Charges. The Islamic State (Isis) militants in Syria have reportedly executed three pigeons that it had arrested on charges of spying. The UK-based Express reported that the pigeons belonged to an anti-Isis group. The 5 June report noted that the executions were carried out recently. The development has come at a time, when Isis has issued a dictate, banning pigeon breeding claiming the sight of the birds' genitals as they fly overhead is sinful according to Islam.

Muslim Congressmen Want DOJ Investigation of Phoenix Anti-Islam Rally. The only two Muslims in the U.S. Congress are calling for a Department of Justice investigation into the armed anti-Islam rally in Phoenix last week. Jon Ritzheimer organized the rally, along with a Muhammad cartoon contest, in response to the targeting of a similar event held in Garland, Texas weeks ago. The rally was held at an Islamic community center reportedly attended by the two men who targeted the Garland event. Ritzheimer encouraged people on the group's Facebook page to bring guns, but aside from a few minor skirmishes, nothing serious really happened.

ISIS Bans Pigeon Breeding Because Overhead View Of Bird Sex Organs Insults Islam. If you've ever looked up in the sky, seen a pigeon soaring through the air and noticed its pigeon genitals — well, that's pretty weird. You've probably got a strange combination of bionic-level eyes and some terrible mental disorder. Get help. At least you can take heart in the fact that you aren't suffering alone, though, because high-level clerics associated with the Islamic State (also called ISIS) agree with you. In an attempt to stymie the wretched sight of pigeon genitals across the Islamic State's growing Middle Eastern caliphate, the jihadist clerics have banned pigeon breeding, the Daily Mail reports.

Phoenix protests Islamism. "We will pay you back today — the event won't finish without kuffar (infidel) blood. We promise..." So read an ISIS Twitter threat against the organizers and protesters of the Muhammad cartoon drawing and free speech rally May 29 in Phoenix (which, in a twist of irony, is hosting COMICON the same weekend — an event that attracts 80,000 cartoon-loving comic book artists and readers). But in spite of the jihadists' effort to intimidate, the anti-Islamist gathering went forward successfully, dealing a huge public relations blow to the "big turban, no camels" ISIS devotee while at the same time demonstrating the enormous strength of the American constitutional system — particularly as codified in our First and Second Amendments.

Perpetually Aggrieved Muslim Flyer Tahera Ahmad — Not Her First Grievance Rodeo. When a person walks around continually looking for grievance it should come as no surprise when they find one, or eleventy. The ridiculous, and profoundly sketchy, story of the liberal Northwestern University Muslim chaplain, Tahera Ahmad, discriminated against by United Airlines because a flight attendant opened her can of diet Coke is one such invisible grievance that only the perpetually aggrieved could find.

Update:

Muslim Woman's 'Fake Hate' Over a Diet Coke, Of Course It Was a Lie. When Tahera Ahmad described a horror-show aboard a United flight from Chicago's O'Hare to Washington Dulles in which a flight attendant told her she couldn't have a Diet Coke because she may use it "as a weapon," it never rang true to me. Honestly, it didn't pass the laugh test. She may as well have described the scene in the violent movie "Pulp Fiction" where Bruce Willis' character finds himself taken prisoner along with Marcellus Wallace in a torture dungeon under a pawn shop. The melodrama of "I felt the hate in his voice and his raging eyes," is a line out of a bad novel.

Islamists Promise 'Kuffar Blood' Will Spill at Phoenix 'Draw Muhammad' Contest. Breitbart News previously reported that former Marine Jon Ritzheimer and fellow bikers will be holding a "Draw Muhammad" contest Friday night [5/29/2015] at 6 p.m. Islamists now warn participants not to bring their children with them if they love them, promising blood spill if Muhammad is drawn.

Fatwas Galore. In recent years, Malaysia's state and federal fatwa councils — nervous that secularization and religious pluralism might be leading Muslims to stray from their faith — have issued a slew of edicts against seemingly innocuous practices, including not just dog-petting but candlelight vigils, yoga, and Halloween. The National Fatwa Council now has some 300 fatwas on the books, and state councils have issued nearly 1,500 more.

The Editor says...

Can't say that I really disagree with them in this case. Candle-light vigils are humanist vanity, yoga is Buddhism, and Halloween is candy-coated Satanism.

Veterans Told to Avoid Targeting by ISIS 'Lone Wolves'... Don't Act 'Pompous' Online, Hide Your Military Service. Over the weekend, military bases across the United States were placed on higher alert for domestic terror attacks, in response to a surge in threatening chatter from ISIS and its sympathizers. "It is the highest level of security since the tenth anniversary of September 11," notes Fox 13 News in Tampa Bay, home of MacDill Air Force Base.

Catholic University Investigated for Offending Muslims By Having Too Many Crosses. "Complaint says crosses at Catholic school offensive, prevent Muslim prayers," reads the headline at BeliefNet. It's one of those headlines that sounds like a bad joke, but it isn't. It's not exactly a serious complaint, either, and it isn't coming from actual Muslim students in any event. "Baffled Catholic University officials say they have never received a complaint from any of the schools Muslim students," writes BeliefNet.

Complaint says crosses at Catholic school offensive, prevent Muslim prayers. Crosses in every room at Washingon D.C.'s Catholic University of America are a human rights violation that prevent Muslim students from praying. That's the complaint to the Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights filed by a professor from rival George Washington University across town.

The timid defense of free speech. Some of our liberal friends, particularly the art lovers among them, are terrified of the hobgoblins that Ralph Waldo Emerson warned about. "A foolish consistency," he famously said, "is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen, philosophers and divines." We see this writ large in the threat to public peace and the lives of the innocent by Islamic radicals. The radicals, who maim and kill in the name of the Prophet, are treated with respect (if not terror), and the Christians who have threatened no one, must be hectored, lectured and exiled to the fringes of the public square.

Bosch Fawstin vs. Facebook and The Religion of "Peace". Part of growing into adulthood from infantile immaturity is accepting what you cannot control. Of all the things we cannot control, the minds, thoughts and feelings of others are the least under our control. Sure, we can persuade people when they wish to hear from us, and when or if they're open to persuasion. But one basic foundation of emotional health and maturity is an acceptance that others will think or feel whatever they wish to think or feel — and you have to get over it. For whatever reasons, in today's society this is no longer the standard — at least not with certain groups or belief systems.

Norway ends blasphemy law after Hebdo attack. Norway has scrapped its longstanding blasphemy law, meaning it is now legal to mock the beliefs of others, in a direct response to January's brutal attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. [...] But the change will be largely symbolic. The last time anyone was tried for blasphemy in Norway was back in 1933, when the writer Arnulf Overland was prosecuted for giving a lecture titled "Christianity, the tenth plague" to the Norwegian Students' Society. He was acquitted.

Boca Event Featuring Anti-Muslim Speaker Canceled for Safety Reasons. Not wanting to court danger, the Boca West Country Club has refused to host the Palm Beach Republican Party's "Lobsterfest" dinner that advertised controversial Islamic critic Geert Wilders as the keynote speaker. Geert was part of the Garland, Texas, cartoon contest that invited participants to draw the Prophet Muhammad. Islamic law prohibits any image of the prophet to ward off idol worship.

Conservative Pundits For Sharia? [Scroll down] Muslims can follow their own religious beliefs, but they can't force me to follow them. They believe that it is wrong to draw Mohammed; Catholics think it is wrong to get divorced; Jews think it is wrong to eat pork. You are not insulting Judaism by eating pork, a Catholic by divorcing, or a Muslim by drawing Mohammed. To claim that drawing Mohammed is an insult is a jihadi idea. It is not an American idea. It is applying their code to our behavior. Drawing Mohammed is entirely normal political speech. It is not a gratuitous insult; it is fighting the imposition of sharia law in America. Pam Geller is the bravest woman in America at this moment. She deserves to be given a podium so her voice can be heard by millions.

Ex-Muslim Who Won Draw Muhammad Contest Has A Message For The Critics. Unlike the successfully bloody conquests of the Ottoman Empire, Islam has found a way to infiltrate the West without even lifting a blade to the infidels' throats, and we are ignorantly embracing the death of our culture and freedom with open, tolerant arms. Islamic immigration has effectively silenced the righteous opposition through administering our own poison — political correctness. Fortunately, however, there are still a few patriots within our borders who are willing to risk their careers, freedom, and even their lives to expose this threat to Western democracy, and now they are speaking louder than ever.

Pam Geller And Those Before Her. Did the Yazidis draw cartoons? Did James Foley draw cartoons? Did Daniel Pearl draw cartoons? How is it that Islam has assumed exclusive power with the declaration they are the judge, jury and executioner of what is blasphemy? The Southern Poverty Law Center has this on Pam Geller. Ah but, they do have a right to do so as noted by the Supreme Court decision in 2011 in the case of picketing a funeral. All media, even global media has become Sharia compliant for not standing long ago on free speech and now for blaming the Garland, Texas attack on those who are taking a stand.

Robert Spencer at the Muhammad Art Exhibit. [Scroll down] Consider this — the murderers of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists had an accomplice. And as they were murdering the cartoonists, the accomplice went to a kosher supermarket in Paris and murdered four Jews. What have they done? They didn't draw Muhammad. How did they offend Muslims? They offended Muslims by being Jewish. Okay, so we have to not draw Muhammad, because that'll poke them in the eye and offend them. And then we have to not be Jewish, because that will poke them in the eye and offend them. And then what? Okay, I guess pork and alcohol are right out. Okay, and then what?

Iran bans 'devil worshipping' haircuts. Hairstyles of a spiky and unorthodox nature have reportedly been banned in Iran because they imply devil-worship, while tattoos and other male bodily adornments also being outlawed. Jagged haircuts have become fashionable among all strata of Iran's youthful population in recent years, but have divided opinion and been deemed by the authorities as western and un-Islamic.

'American Sniper' derailed by Muslim complaints at University of Maryland. The University of Maryland joins the University of Michigan in the ranks of educational institutions with an "American Sniper" controversy. Muslim student protests prompted the University of Maryland at College Park to announce the cancellation of the movie about deceased Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. "American Sniper only perpetuates the spread of Islamophobia and is offensive to many Muslims around the world for good reason. This movie dehumanizes Muslim individuals, promotes the idea of senseless mass murder, and portrays negative and inaccurate stereotypes," the university's Muslim Students Association said in its petition, Fox News reported Thursday [4/23/2015].

Why Are Colleges Cancelling 'American Sniper'? The pattern of on-campus culture wars is now as familiar as the plot of a blockbuster film. And no sooner did the University of Michigan's Center for Campus Involvement announce a screening of American Sniper than a wave of upset broke out. Things escalated quickly. The Michigan Muslim Students' Association organized an open letter campaign, boasting 200 signatures, against the event.

ISIS bans skinny jeans, cigarettes, cellphone music: group. ISIS is cracking down on hipsters in Syria. The Islamic State terror group has imposed a new law in their stronghold of Raqqa that prohibits young men from wearing skinny jeans, smoking cigarettes and jamming music on cellphones. Informants living in the Syrian city tell the anti-ISIS campaign group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently that militants have been throwing civilians behind bars for 10 days at a time if they refuse to comply with the new rules.

Sharia USA: Delaware Radio Host Fired for Islamist Comments. What this radio host said is not unreasonable, and even less grounds for firing, but that is where we are in the US. Perhaps he could have packaged it better, but is that where we are? Yes. Every thought has to be pre-screened and edited for consumption? It's like we are living in an Islamic country. Shredding the first amendment.

The roots of the Copenhagen attack. More details will no doubt emerge, but already it seems fairly clear what's going on here: a continuation of the assault on the West's freedom of speech, perpetrated by a fundamentalist Muslim terrorist (or one in sympathy with fundamentalist Muslim terrorists). The idea is to silence what they see as blasphemy against Islam, as well as to exert a chilling effect on anyone who would sympathize with or support such freedom of speech.

Terror in Copenhagen. The single murder at the café was of a documentary filmmaker named Finn Noergaard, but the presumed target of the attack was artist Lars Vilk. Vilk is a cartoonist who has shown much courage and integrity in continuously sketching Mohammed in many forms, some of the more outrageous pictures showing the prophet transformed into a roundabout dog. Al-Qaeda has offered a $150,000 reward for Vilk's assassination, and he has experienced physical attacks at university lectures, arson attempts at his own home, as well as an unending stream of credible death threats. Using his pen to poke fun at Islam's hypersensitivity to criticism, Lars Vilk is that rare, dying breed of European intellectual that is willing to risk life and limb for free expression. He also has a Doctorate in Philosophy. This means that Vilk has committed a dual offense in the eyes of radical Islam, since he is both the recipient of a high quality Western education, as well as an unrepentant opponent of religious censorship.

One dead and three police injured after gunman fires at café during free speech debate. One man was killed and three police officers were injured on Saturday [2/14/2015] after shots were fired at a Copenhagen café holding a freedom of speech event. The meeting was organised by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has faced several death threats for his caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. As many as 200 bullet [sic] were fired at the Krudttoenden café, shattering windows.

$10,000 Muhammad Art and Cartoon Contest to be Held in Texas. Pamela Geller is planning a "Draw the Prophet" event in Garland, Texas in the same location as a Muslim group held a "Stand with the Prophet" conference in January. The First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest will be hosted by the Curtis Caldwell Center, which is owned and operated by the Garland Independent School District.

Seattle Muslims demand sacking of teacher who showed Muhammad cartoons. The day after the Charlie Hebdo shootings, Deepa Bhandaru showed some of the cartoons that prompted the attack to students at the Refugee Women's Alliance in Seattle. Bhandaru showed the cartoons in the context of a discussion on religious pluralism and freedom of speech. The cartoons she showed to her students, most if not all of whom are Muslims, reportedly were not the more inflammatory, sexual images. Now, a group of Somali immigrants is demanding that Bhandaru be fired.

Why Charlie? [Scroll down] Freedom, the right to dissent, the satirical genre — all have been dying for some time. The Danish cartoons marked an identical watershed. The assassination of Dutch provocateur and filmmaker Theo Van Gogh marked an identical watershed, as did the death threats against his collaborator and Danish parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who had his satirical drawings removed at a Tallerud art exhibition and who has an ISIS bounty on his head and is living under police protection, marks an identical watershed. The fatwa against Salman Rushdie and the killing of his Japanese translator marked the same watershed.

'Liberal,' 'Tolerant' Vanderbilt Muslims Seek To Bully Black Professor Into Silence. A black Vanderbilt University professor's op-ed critical of Islamic terrorism has touched off a wave of protest by Muslim students and other critics. The op-ed author is Carol Swain, a longtime professor of law and political science at Vanderbilt and a self-proclaimed political conservative. Her op-ed, entitled "Charlie Hebdo attacks prove critics were right about Islam," appeared in The Tennessean (Nashville's main newspaper) on Jan. 15. Swain, who opposes burqas and advocates stronger efforts at assimilation for American Muslims, argued that radical Islam "poses an absolute danger to us and our children unless it is monitored better than it has been under the Obama administration."

Uh-oh. The Muslims are outraged over a movie. Where have we heard this before?

CAIR Joins Lib Hate-Fest for American Sniper, Calls Chris Kyle 'Hate-Filled Killer'. The Council on American Islamic Relations attacked former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, the subject of the record-breaking film American Sniper, as a "hate-filled killer" in a post to the group's account on Twitter.

CAIR Official Whines The Term "Islamist" Is Offensive. You know what most sane people (non-libs) find offensive? Muslims indiscriminately killing thousands of people every month.

Muslims Declare Jihad on Dogs in Europe. A Dutch Muslim politician has called for a ban on dogs in The Hague, the third-largest city in the Netherlands. Islamic legal tradition holds that dogs are "unclean" animals, and some say the call to ban them in Holland and elsewhere represents an attempted encroachment of Islamic Sharia law in Europe. This latest canine controversy — which the Dutch public has greeted with a mix of amusement and outrage — follows dozens of other Muslim-vs-dog-related incidents in Europe. Critics say it reflects the growing assertiveness of Muslims in Europe as they attempt to impose Islamic legal and religious norms on European society.

ISIS Executes Pigeon and Bird Breeders in Diyala, Iraq. Raising doves and pigeons is a deadly pursuit in ISIS-controlled Iraq. The popular hobby is in the sights of extremist Islamist fighters, who this week rounded up 15 boys and young men in the eastern province of Diyala for pursuing a pastime now deemed un-Islamic. Three have already been executed, according to a security official in the area who spoke to NBC News on condition of anonymity.

Dem Rep: Obama Right Not to Call Terrorists 'Islamic Extremists' Because It Would Anger Them. When asked if the Obama Administration was right to refuse to use the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism," Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA) backed the White House because saying "Islamic Extremists" would anger the terrorists. [...] The White House and Lee's acquiescence to how they label America's enemy has been the subject of much scrutiny and debate this week. The catered response signals a fear of ISIS, Al Qaeda, and their extremist allies. This trepidation is only magnified when compared to the language used by America's oldest ally, France. The French government has responded in a strong manner to radical Islam in both words and actions.

The Editor says...

There is no point in tiptoeing around Muslims to avoid angering them. They will live in constant outrage until Islam dominates the world. Their anger is regenerated and amplified every Friday at the mosque. Appeasing and accommodating them is like bringing a hornet's nest into your house and expecting to tame the hornets and make them do tricks for your guests. It will never happen.

Oxford University warns authors not to write about bacon, pork to avoid offending Muslims. The largest university press in the world has warned its authors not to mention pigs or pork in their books to avoid offending Muslims and Jews. Oxford University Press (OUP) explained that their books must take into consideration other cultures of the world and must avoid mentioning pigs or "anything else which could be perceived as pork," the International Business Times reported.

Oxford University Press bans mention of pork and pigs in books to 'avoid offending Muslims or Jews'. One of the biggest education publishers in the world has warned its authors not to mention pigs or sausages in their books to avoid causing offence. Oxford University Press (OUP) said all books must take into consideration other cultures if they hope to sell copies in countries across the world. As a result, the academic publisher has issued guidance advising writers to avoid mentioning pigs or "anything else which could be perceived as pork" so as not to offend Muslim or Jewish people.

The Editor says...

I've never heard of Jewish people who were offended by the presence (or the aroma) of sausages or bacon, or offended by the mere mention of pigs. This effort to include Jews among the easily offended sounds like manipulation of the press.

Oxford University Press bans sausages and pigs from children's books in effort 'to avoid offence'. Schoolbook authors have been told not to write about sausages or pigs for fear of causing offence. Guidance from leading educational publisher the Oxford University Press prohibits authors from including anything that could be perceived as pork-related in their books. The bizarre clampdown, apparently aimed at avoiding offence among Jews and Muslims, emerged yesterday during a discussion about free speech on Radio 4's Today programme. It was immediately branded 'nonsensical political correctness'.

Radical Imam Anjem Choudary Calls Charlie Hebdo Front Page 'Act Of War'. Hate preacher Anjem Choudary has called the latest front cover of Charlie Hebdo an "act of war" against Muslims. The magazine features Mohammed crying and holding a "Je Suis Charlie" sign, with the headline roughly translating to "Everything is forgiven". But Choudary was unimpressed with the offering from the remaining staff at Charlie Hebdo claiming it was "ridiculing" Mohammed. He said the magazine was attacking the Muslim leader's personality, and that publishing it was "extremely serious".

Saudi cleric condemns snowmen as anti-Islamic. A prominent Saudi Arabian cleric has whipped up controversy by issuing a religious ruling forbidding the building of snowmen, described them as anti-Islamic. Asked on a religious website if it was permissible for fathers to build snowmen for their children after a snowstorm in the country's north, Sheikh Mohammed Saleh al-Munajjid replied: "It is not permitted to make a statue out of snow, even by way of play and fun."

True freedom is rarely painless or comfortable. The West has come close enough already to creating a category of thought crimes in the form of "hate speech". To go any further along this road — in the name of tolerance — would undermine precisely the kind of open society to which, ironically, so many migrant groups are attracted. Satire, or verbal abuse, may be ugly or puerile. It may be objectionable in any number of ways to different groups of people. And you are as free to attack it, or to repudiate it, as its authors are to publish it. None of this may be comfortable or painless — but real freedom rarely is.

Muslim Leaders to Hold 'Stand with the Prophet' Rally in Texas. Muslim leaders from across America will gather in [Garland,] Texas this weekend to hold the annual Stand With the Prophet in Honor and Respect conference, a weekend forum that is being billed as a "movement to defend Prophet Muhammad, his person, and his message," according to event information. The Saturday event, which seeks to combat "Islamophobes in America" who have turned the Islamic Prophet Muhammad "into an object of hate," according to organizers, comes just a week after radicalized Islamists in France killed 17 people.

We think the Paris terrorists were offended by Charlie Hebdo's satire. What if we're wrong? Here's a theory. Terrorists aren't offended by cartoons. Not even cartoons that satirise the Prophet Muhammad. They don't care about satire. For all I know they may not even care about the Prophet Muhammad. Instead, they merely pretend to be offended by cartoons, in order to give themselves a pretext to commit murder. Murder so horrifying, on a pretext so unWestern, that non-Muslims — blinded by grief and rage — turn on Muslims. Blame them. Persecute them. Burn their book, attack their mosques, threaten them in the street, demand their expulsion from Western societies. Actions that, in turn, scare Western Muslims, isolate them, alienate them. And thus drive some of them to support — and even become — terrorists.

Do Not Submit! Republish the Mohammed Cartoons Everywhere. Here's How. Today's terror attack on Charlie Hedbo, the irreverent French satirical magazine that was one of the few media outlets in France to publish the original "Mohammed cartoons," is an attempt by Islamic fundamentalists to enforce shari'a worldwide, even on non-Muslims. We must not let them succeed. Self-censoring out of fear means self-imposition of shari'a (Islamic law). Self-censoring out of "respect" (actually just a euphemism for fear) means you are submitting to the terrorists' worldview. The way to overcome them in this instance is to overwhelm them with disrespect and mockery. They can silence one magazine, but they can't silence the entire Internet. Every blogger, of every political stripe, be it left, right, and everywhere in between, needs to realize that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are the two keystones of your ideology, whatever it may be. You need to make a stand. You need to make these terrorists lose the ideological battle.

Vermont Restaurant Removes Bacon Sign Due to Muslim Opposition and Safety Concerns. The sign was put up as part of a city program that allows businesses to post an advertisement in an area where they have helped maintain city flowerbeds. The sign that read "Yield Sneakers Bacon" was removed after a woman, identifying herself as a Muslim, posted in an online community forum, stating she was personally offended by the sign, according to a WPTZ News report. WPTZ wrote that the woman who complained online called the sign "insensitive to those who do not consume pork."

The Editor says...

Why is one offended woman a "safety concern?"

Saudi Arabia has beheaded 19 people in one month. Human Rights Watch reports that Saudi Arabia has beheaded 19 people since the beginning of August. Some confessions may have been gained under torture and one poor defendant was found guilty of sorcery. Yep, sorcery. That might sound archaic, but we are talking about a regime so very concerned about offending God that it has even banned certain names for being "blasphemous".

The Muslims' War Against Fun Is Killing Them. The War Against Fun is deadly because it stultifies and suffocates creative enterprise. If the regime wins, and fun is killed, it would mark the death of playfulness, which is the heart of creativity. The Iranians are (falsely, I think) credited with the invention of chess, but there are no brilliant Persian chess grandmasters nowadays. Iranian humor is nasty, misogynistic and often sadistic, like the unhappy country's ruling tyrants.

Malaysian Muslim groups call for jihad on Cadbury after pork traces found in chocolate. Muslim groups have declared jihad on Cadbury after two of its products sold in predominately Islamic Malaysia were found to contain traces of pork. The discovery was made during a periodic check for non-halal ingredients in food products by the country's health ministry, which confirmed the presence of porcine DNA in bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut and Cadbury Dairy Milk Roast Almond. Cadbury Malaysia, like most food makers in the country where Muslims make up more than 60 percent of the population, has all of its products certified halal to conform with Islam's dietary restrictions, one of which is a prohibition on pork.

Malaysian Muslims Declare Jihad Against Cadbury. Angry Muslims in Malaysia demand a Jihad, or holy war, be declared on confectionery company Cadbury and their parent company after traces of pig DNA were found. In response Cadbury Malaysia is pulling Cadbury Dairy Milk hazelnut and Cadbury Dairy Milk roast almond from shelves in the Islamic country, Reuters reports. A group of more than 20 Muslim organizations condemned the UK-based company, owned by Mondelēz International, saying "it has crossed the line."

All clear!

Cadbury Chocolate Cleared in Malaysia After 'Pork Scare'. Further tests on Cadbury chocolate bars found no traces of pig DNA, a Malaysian minister said on Monday [6/2/2014], after earlier positive results of the halal-certified confectionaries sparked a scare in several Muslim countries. Cadbury pulled its Dairy Milk hazelnut and Dairy Milk roast almond products from shelves in Muslim-majority Malaysia last week after a health ministry routine test found the chocolate contained traces of pork.

UK politician arrested for quoting Churchill, could face 2 years in prison. Paul Weston, co-founder and leader of the GB Liberty party and a candidate for Member of the European Parliament, was arrested Saturday [4/26/2014], hauled off in a police van, and could face two years in prison. All for reading a passage from Winston Churchill's book, The River War, regarding Islam.

Britain has just witnessed a political arrest. Where is the liberal outrage? Over the weekend, a candidate was arrested for addressing his potential voters. Clear aside the incidental details, scrape away the mitigating circumstances, and ponder that elemental fact. Paul Weston, standing for election to the European Parliament (against me, as it happens, in the South East) was arrested in the middle of a speech on the steps of the Winchester Guildhall. When such a thing happens in Burma or Belarus or Bahrain, we report it in suitably shocked tones. Yet here it is happening in Britain, without any discussions on the Today Programme, any Amnesty vigils, any complaints from Liberty. To repeat, a candidate was arrested for making a hustings speech.

9/11 On The Cutting Room Floor. An interfaith advisory panel urges the National September 11 Memorial Museum to bowdlerize a six-plus-minute film of unflattering references to Islam for fear of sparking an international incident. If only Osama bin Laden had employed such a nonsectarian "coexist" council of elders prior to sparking international incident.

Muslims claim 9/11 memorial film on the rise of al Qaeda will 'greatly offend' Islam. A film due to be screened at the 9/11 Memorial Museum has been blasted by a prominent Muslim cleric who claims it will 'greatly offend' Islam. Sheik Mostafa Elazabawy, the imam of Masjid Manhattan, said the seven-minute documentary, which is designed to explain to visitors the historical roots of the terrorist attacks, may confuse viewers about the difference between Al Qaeda and Muslims. The film, The Rise of Al Qaeda, refers to the terrorists as Islamists who viewed their mission as a jihad.

Canada: Nine Months in Jail for Blasphemy Against Islam. Caution: If you happen to be in Canada, and you say something in public that hurts the feelings of Muslims, you may well be sentenced to nine months in jail. That's what happened to Eric Brazau in Toronto. Mind you, I've seen a video of Mr. Brazau's street-corner theatrics, and he also wore offensive attire, made insulting facial expressions, and laughed derisively at or in the general direction of Muslims. So he was lucky to get off so lightly.

China official says Islamists seek to ban laughter and crying. The governor of China's restive far western region of Xinjiang wrote on Monday that Islamist militants were trying to ban laughter at weddings and crying at funerals, as he appealed to people to stamp out the "tumor" of extremism.

Banned in the British Library. A number of prominent counter-jihadis, such as Geert Wilders, have the distinction of being banned from entry into the United Kingdom — and, now, Her Majesty's Government, in its wisdom, appears to have banned on some public computers two websites connected to me. It's not quite the same, admittedly, and I am working to get this ban removed, but I also wear it as a perverse badge of honor given that government's shameful record vis-à-vis Islamism.

Muslims Object to Easter Eggs. Muslim moms and dads in Dearborn, Mich. are upset after students received flyers promoting an Easter Egg hunt at a local Presbyterian church. The parents say the egg hunt violates the U.S. Constitution. The Muslims told the Detroit Free-Press that they were concerned about the religious implications of Cherry Hill Presbyterian Church's "Eggstravaganza!" They were also troubled by images of a bunny rabbit.

Now Muslim parents are complaining about flyers for Easter egg hunts. In Dearborn, Mich., home to over 40,000 Americans of Arab descent, some Muslim parents have complained about flyers handed out at public schools advertising an Easter egg hunt at a local Presbyterian church. The Muslim parents assert that the flyers — emblazoned with the word "Eggstravaganza!" — violate the separation of church and state widely ascribed to the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, reports the Detroit Free Press. Students at three Dearborn elementary schools received the flyers. A large number of Muslim students attend the schools.

The Editor says...

In case you attended public schools, let me point out that the phrase separation of church and statei> is not found in the U.S. Constitution. Nor is the Easter Bunny a religious symbol.

Dubai sends American to max-security prison for a YouTube satire video. Let this be a cautionary tale to Americans working abroad: not all countries appreciate a satirical sense of humor. Minnesotan Shezanne Cassim has lived and worked in Dubai for PricewaterhouseCoopers for seven years, but he's now imprisoned in a maximum-security prison. His offense? Making a social satire about rich Dubai "gangstas" on YouTube last October.

Christian church fights to erect cross as pastor claims city officials fear Muslims. The pastor and some members of a Christian church in Brandon, Miss., say city officials won't grant them their permit request for a massive cross to be built on their property because the city is afraid the symbol might offend Muslims. City officials, however, say they're hesitant to allow the cross construction because it would violate zoning rules.

White House: Pathway to citizenship would boost GDP by $1.4T over decade. The White House on Tuesday released a new report arguing a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants would add 2 million jobs to the economy and boost gross domestic product by $1.4 trillion over the next decade.

The Editor says...

It would be nice if the eleven million illegal immigrants obeyed all local traffic regulations and state laws, stayed sober, learned English, got jobs and actually worked, instead of consuming food stamps, public housing and free tuition. There are plenty of people coming to the U.S. to give birth, but there aren't many rocket scientists and PhD's sneaking in to the United States. The Democrats know this and don't care; in fact, they prefer to have more people sign up — permanently — for the welfare state, because an expanded lower class means a larger Democratic base.

Gitmo Inmate Searches Banned Because Groin Searches are "Abhorrent to Muslims". Things that aren't abhorrent to Muslims include underwear bombs, smuggling weapons and stabbing guards. Also terrorizing a country to the extent that passengers are groped in airports. There's a pattern with rulings such as these. If the judge had determined that groin searches are a general civil liberties violation that would be one thing. But this is a special privilege and entitlement for Muslims.

This is a recurring theme: Islam's solution to everything is death.

Iraqi gunmen kill 14 breaking Ramadan fast. Gunmen overran an Iraqi army checkpoint and opened fire on a trailer packed with policemen breaking their Ramadan fast, killing 14 in the country's restive western Anbar province.

Liberals inject race into almost everything:

Racist or reality? Seattle congressman wants FBI terrorists ads pulled. In the global war on terror, information is everything. A single tip from the public can save countless lives. A terrorist could be right in front of your own face. That's why the FBI rolled out a new ad campaign on billboards and buses. It shows the faces of 16 of the world's most wanted terrorists. Some, however, say they're being depicted in a less that flattering light. "You look at the pictures, they're all one color of folks," said Congressman Jim McDermott of Seattle. McDermott has asked the FBI to pull the ads, calling them "racist" because there are no white people.

'Offensive to Muslims': Dem congressman calls on FBI to take down photos of terrorists. Always-unfiltered Rep. Jim McDermott penned a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller Wednesday [6/19/2013] claiming a Joint Terrorism Task Force 'Faces of Global Terrorism' ad is racist. McDermott, a Democrat from Washington state, voiced his "deep concern" about the ad, which shows mug shots of international terrorists, and asked the FBI chief to "reconsider publicizing" it.

Islamic group says UCF professor promotes anti-Muslim hate. The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is accusing a UCF professor of teaching anti-Muslim bigotry. Officials with the group sent a complaint to the University of Central Florida asking it to review the content of professor Jonathan Matusitz's courses. Matusitz, 36, has taught several communication classes at UCF, including one called Terrorism and Communication and another on intercultural communication.

French extreme-right leader Marine Le Pen faces prosecution for comparing Muslims to Nazis. French extreme right-wing leader Marine Le Pen faces potential prosecution for comparing Muslim immigration in France as "like a Nazi occupation." The European Parliament's legal committee recommended that the National Front leader have her protection from prosecution as an MEP revoked, which could result in her being put on trial. The full parliament is expected to formally lift her legal immunity after a vote on the recommendation on July 3.

Rand Paul: Your Taxes Fund Regimes That Kill Christians 'for Blasphemy Against Islam'. In a speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference on Thursday [6/13/2013], Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he was angry over the fact that U.S. tax money is used to support foreign regimes where Christians are killed "for blasphemy against Islam," and where "Muslims who convert to Christianity" are also put to death.

Father of "Most Wanted Terrorist" Accuses Alabamans of Islamophobia for Not Letting Him Build a Mosque. I can't see a single reason why a man whose son turned out to be a terrorist should be suspected of presiding over a mosque that in any way promotes terrorism. That's just crazy.

Syrian Islamists kill boy, 15, in front of parents for disrespecting prophet. Members of an al Qaeda-linked group in Syria executed a 15-year-old boy in front of his parents after kidnapping and torturing him for making disrespectful statements about Islam's Prophet Muhammad, a human rights group in the region claimed. Mohammad Qataa was seized Saturday in Aleppo by gunmen with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria — formerly known as the Nusra Front — after he was overheard saying during an argument with another, "Even if the Prophet Muhammad comes down [from heaven], I will not become a believer," according to Reuters.

"The Justice Department is trying to curtail free speech by promising increased scrutiny of any Internet posts which mention Islam."

People Power Against the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice (DOJ) and its allies, the Council on American Islamic Relations and the Southern Poverty Law Center, are on the defensive after thousands of people turned out in Tennessee on Tuesday night [6/4/2013] to protest a scheme to censor criticism of Islam. The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a key component of a network of Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the U.S., called the turnout a "mob" and praised the Obama/Holder Justice Department for standing up to local residents.

Another Obama Assault on Free Speech. The Obama Administration's latest assault on the freedom of speech is so audacious that it leaves me speechless — and that's the idea. According to Politico, Bill Killian, the Obama-appointed U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, "is reportedly vowing to use federal civil rights statutes to clamp down on offensive and inflammatory speech about Islam." Said Killian: "We need to educate people about Muslims and their civil rights, and as long as we're here, they're going to be protected."

Free Speech and Islamic Sensibilities. Apparently a United States attorney in Tennessee is seeking to use civil rights statutes to criminalize criticism of Islam or inflammatory statements that offend Muslims. According to the Tullahoma News, Bill Killian, the U.S. attorney for Eastern Tennessee, believes "Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction." Though the newspaper makes clear that Killian's intent is to promote better community relations and to prevent discrimination against Muslims that is based on the false notion that all are terrorists, his willingness to dump the First Amendment rights of some in order to protect the sensibility of others ought to scare all Americans.

The Not-So-Veiled Threat to Non-Muslims in Tennessee. The attempted snow job by the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) of Tennessee which sponsored the joint Department of Justice/FBI event, "Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society," Tuesday night in Manchester, Tennessee, did not work with the 2,000 attendees. [...] A well-informed crowd responded with calls of "taqiyyah" when members of AMAC, a group that bills itself as "a bridge between the Muslim community and law enforcement," touted Muslim contributions to U.S. society and their dedication to upholding American values.

10 arrested so far in British soldier's killing as Muslims fear backlash. As concerns about rising Islamophobia in Britain grew amid anti-Muslim protests and attacks targeting mosques, authorities made a 10th arrest in last week's knifing death of a British soldier. Armed police arrested a 50-year-old man on a street in the town of Welling in southeastern England. The man's connection to the case was unclear, but like the other nine suspects, he was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.

Apparently CNN wants us to feel sorry for the Muslims because they "fear backlash."/p>

Army forsakes combat hero Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley for Muslims. The U.S. Army has further punished Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley, a highly respected and decorated officer in the wake of Muslim groups complaining about the approved course he taught on radical Islam at National Defense University.

Free Speech [is] Under Fire in Canada. Here is yet another instance of the Islamic supremacist/leftist war on free speech — particularly egregious in the wake of the Boston Marathon jihad bombings. The message is all the more crucial now. For years, my colleagues and I labored under the most heinous circumstances. Anyone who opposes the jihad and the Sharia must endure a constant withering attack on one's name, reputation, integrity, and even spirit.

The Jihad On Free Speech. Over the past few weeks, there have been an alarming number of cases of Muslim pressure groups trying to force Americans to conform to a pro-Islamic speech code. They've insisted on censoring any speech or expression that offends them, including TV ads, Christian symbols, speeches and even parts of speech.

WH Claims Bin Laden Burial Details Would Lead to 'Retaliatory Attacks'. [Judicial Watch] uncovered records showing that the Obama administration sought "high visibility" in bid Laden projects. They wanted to project Barack Obama as a strong leader in command, and cared nothing about how terrorists would react to the film. Now contrast this approach with the administration's handling of information (also sought by Judicial Watch) detailing the bin Laden burial at sea.

Oh, I see. If the pictures aren't shown, we're all perfectly safe. In that case, we can abandon the security façade at the airport and fire everybody at the TSA.

Lakemba Mosque imam issues 'fatwa against Christmas' - report. The head imam at Lakemba, Sheikh Yahya Safi, reportedly told the congregation during Friday [12/21/2012] prayers they should not have anything to do with Christmas. The fatwa reportedly warned: "Disbelievers are trying to draw Muslims away from the straight path." It said Christmas Day and associated celebrations are among the "falsehoods" for a Muslim to avoid. "Therefore a Muslim is neither allowed to celebrate the Christmas Day nor is he allowed to congratulate them," it said.

Blasphemy and Islam. In Cairo on Wednesday [12/12/2012], a Coptic Christian blogger named Alber Saber was convicted of blasphemy and "contempt of religion." There's a tragic irony: As any of the country's Christians can tell you, contempt of religion is not merely permitted but encouraged in the new, post-Mubarak Egypt. What is criminal, what has become increasingly perilous, is any criticism of Islam.

In northern Mali, music silenced as Islamists drive out artists. Khaira Arby, one of Africa's most celebrated musicians, has performed all over the world, but there is one place she cannot visit: her native city of Timbuktu, a place steeped in history and culture but now ruled by religious extremists.

State Dept. Official to Attend OIC Meeting Today on Banning 'Defamation of Islam'. After the disaster of trying to blame an obscure YouTube video for the attack on the CIA operation in Benghazi and Obama's prophecy at the UN that "the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam," Hillary Clinton's State Department appears to be taking another run at the First Amendment free speech rights of American citizens.

Salman Rushdie: Iranian state media renew fatwa on Satanic Verses author with $600,000 bounty. Forty state-run Iranian media outlets have jointly offered a new $600,000 bounty for the death of British Indian author Salman Rushdie, according to the state-run Fars News Agency. Fars News Agency, which is closely affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), was among the largest contributors, donating one billion Rials — nearly $30,000. The announcement coincides with the anniversary of the fatwa issued the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic, the agency said.

Introduction by The Editor:

This is an obvious case of reverse entrapment. The Muslims pretend to be the victims of the conditions they have created, as you can see in a subsection below. This intentional false alarm was immediately played up in the news media as persecution, and the perpetrator was portrayed as a brilliant young scientist who made an innocent mistake and was handcuffed for no reason at all, other than his religion or — depending on which TV channel you were watching — the color of his skin. President Barack H. Obama, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and NASA were very quick to capitalize on the publicity and obsequiously pander to all those who practice the religion of peace. But the long-term desensitization effect is what's most damaging. The next time a precocious little Muslim kid brings a suspicious package to school — especially that same school — the teachers will be afraid to say anything about it. And that appears to be exactly the goal in this case: softening up America's defenses through a Gotcha! incident that is as phony and prefabricated as the suspicious device the Clock Kid brought to school.

The entire story has turned out to be a pack of lies, and the lies were enthusiastically repeated by the local news media for days. The Clock Kid evidently didn't build this clock himself — he took an old Radio Shack clock, stuffed it into a box, and called it his own work. The Clock Kid didn't bring the device to school to brag about his accomplishment before his science teacher. It now appears that he brought it to school to create a disturbance, for the purpose of getting arrested. The story was that Ahmed built the clock from scratch, because he's some kind of electronics whiz kid. But what 14-year-old electronics expert uses a soldering iron (as shown in his hand on television) and a circuit board with such archaically wide traces? Kids these days are using things like the Basic Stamp, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi to build projects from scratch, with little or no soldering required. And of what use is a clock inside a carrying case, other than to appear to be a bomb? If one were to try to build a cliché movie prop bomb from scratch on a very low budget, the result would probably look just like Ahmed's kludge clock.

When I first heard that some kid had brought a clock to school, but it looked like a bomb, I thought he had built one of these. But that wouldn't have fit into the all-Muslims-are-victims narrative quite as well.

The biggest lie in this whole story is that Ahmed has a bright future. Unless Ahmed renounces and steers clear of Islam, his long-term future is the worst imaginable.

Overview, recap and update:

Dear Barack: Why Ahmed, But Not Hallel. On September 14, 2015, 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed, was arrested at MacArthur High School in Irving, TX, for bringing an alleged fake bomb to school. He claimed that it was a pencil box filled with reassembled clock parts. His teacher thought it resembled a bomb and called the authorities. This led to his eventual suspension from his high school. Enter the national mainstream media. The story quickly went viral, and led to another soul-searching discussion of how Islamophobic America is. [...] The President, always ready to shame and guilt America, tweeted "Cool clock, Ahmed" and offered him a chance to visit the White House. Obama, who once famously claimed police "acted stupidly," and that Trayvon Martin could have been his son, leapt at the chance to indict the country he leads of being racist and Islamophobic. Lost in the #IStandWithAhmed frenzy was the story headlined "Ahmed's Sister Admits School Suspension for Alleged Bomb Threat 3 Years Earlier." Fox News also uncovered the fact that his father pushed 9/11 conspiracy theories online: [...] No matter. Obama got to insult his own country and the media made a folk hero out of someone who later moved to Qatar and, with a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation for Education, went to Qatar Academy. Last week, he and his family returned to the United States.

Court: Clock Boy, Father, On the Hook for $200,000 Legal Fees. A Texas appeals court has affirmed the dismissal in its entirety of a defamation lawsuit filed by Mohamed Mohamed on behalf of himself and his son, the "clock boy" who took to school a device that looked like a briefcase bomb and then cashed in on the ruckus with multiple television appearances and the like. The Texas Court of Appeals for the Fifth District in Dallas said the ruling was at least partly because of the links between "A.M.," the boy, and his father and the Council for American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim advocacy organization founded by Hamas operatives. The ruling closed down the effort by the father and son to collect damages from several media personalities who commented on the stunt when it developed, and to avoid paying th
