How long before Sweden jettisons the idea of freedom of expression and outlaws blasphemy against Islam altogether? “Terror expert: Sweden a priority target,” translated from “Terrorexpert: Sverige en prioriterad måltavla,” Nyheter 24, April 4, 2023: Five people have been arrested on suspicion of having planned a terrorist crime in Sweden. That the plans are linked […]
According to Alarabiya News, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz has discussed the recent burning of Islam’s holy book, the Quran, during a cabinet session at the Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah. “The Cabinet [reiterates] its condemnation of the attempts to burn the holy Quran and stresses the need to consolidate the values of dialogue, tolerance, […]
A lesson to learn about what fascists of all stripes mean by “terrorism”: this man was “convicted and sentenced to death by an anti-terrorism court.” In Pakistan, blasphemy constitutes “terrorism,” so Syed Muhammad Zeeshan is deemed a “terrorist” under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act and Anti-Terrorist Act in Peshawar, and was thus convicted of […]
It’s telling that Ajmal Shahpal thought he would get more followers by praising a jihad murderer and encouraging beheading for blasphemy. We’re constantly told that the overwhelming majority of Muslims in the West reject “extremism.” So if that were true, wouldn’t praising a jihadi and calling for the beheading of blasphemers make Shahpal less popular?

In reality, Dan Pawson-Pounds doesn’t have the faintest idea what Islam teaches, but he knows that a case in which someone who called for the beheading of those who insult Islam is the defendant could easily get him charges […]
Britain has long ago capitulated on issues of this kind, so this is no surprise. Pamela Geller and I were banned from Britain ten years ago for the crime of planning to lay a wreath at a memorial to Drummer Lee Rigby, who was murdered on a London street by an Islamic jihadi. Rasmus Paludan […]
Such people are demanding respect, but what they take for respect is really a silence or obsequiousness born of fear. “‘Mentega Terbang’ Director, Actor Get Death Threats & Cars Doused With Acid,” by Danial Martinus, Mashable SEAsia, March 16, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Not too long ago, Malaysian film Mentega Terbang made […]
Yes, they said “rent,” not “rend.” By “Crusaders,” they mean all non-Muslims. The resulting jihad massacres will arouse resentment among some non-Muslims, some of whom will express this by burning or otherwise desecrating the Qur’an. Then some Muslims, enraged by the desecration, will call for jihad massacres. And the cycle will continue, until it is […]
