Holocaust Remembrance Day Featured Yom HaShoah 2023 series - 1 For the next three nights, in commemoration of Yom HaShoah on 27 January, Murtadd to Human is publishing a series of articles that draws attention to the rising anti-Semitism around the world. We open the series with an article by my friend Andrzej Koraszewski, commenting on an article of mine.
Polemics Featured There are NO human rights violations in Iran: Answer to Dr Alon Ben-Meir There are no human rights in Islam, so there can be no human rights in an Islamic Republic. There are no human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, so there can be no human rights violations in Iran.
Totalitarianism Featured And STILL they prattle on about a “women’s revolution” - Part 3 The Iranian regime is not against women per se; it is against everyone who is not the Supreme Leader. Everyone is subject to arbitrary control, and the arbitrary power of all strata ends up borne by women, in Iran instrumentalised in the hijab.
Israel Misguiding the Perplexed - Part 2 Had Salman Rushdie been Jewish, we would have welcomed him as an absolutely standard member of the Jewish community. It didn’t even register on the Richter scale in terms of Jewish challenge
Propaganda Featured Misguiding the Perplexed - Part 1 Rabbi Pinchas Taylor deliberately constructs a wall of vague generalisations and misleading obfuscations behind which to hide the horrors of Islam, thereby offering Islam a place from which to ambush his sedated congregation.
Jihad Featured Every agora wasted on a terrorist could ease life for a citizen The only people who will be upset at this terrorist's self-rejected citizenship being revoked are the Jews whose co-existence fantasies are fed by such “citizens of Israel.” Other citizens of Israel, such as those in Judea and Samaria struggling to find a house, might feel otherwise.
Israel Featured Israel Diaries #5 Yes, you see it, too: it’s a menorah! This hit me before I saw it referred to as such elsewhere. You can imagine where my head went with this: Hanukkah > Festival of Lights > Diwali > Hinduism > Saraswati > Knowledge of the self > reflexive/reciprocal > Hitpa’el!
Propaganda Featured 2022: The year the English language reclaimed "refugee" The "refugee" mania that so gripped Europe since 2015, when organised international mass crime became a virtue to so many in the West, while the safeguarding of citizens and the protection of their society was deprecated, is no longer quite the madness that it was.
Editorials Featured Finally, Israel gets an Israeli government "Some of these people sitting here see the Temple Mount as the major issue of Israel. What will happen if they decide to go and visit the Temple mount?"
Islam Featured Merry Christmas Just one more year and one more science instrument that Muslims missed out on. Why? Because it is offensive to follow the ways of the kufaar, and to like what the kufaar like, and value what the kufaar value. Even Christmas is haram. That's right. Merry Christmas, my former fellow Muslims.
Totalitarianism Featured And STILL they prattle on about a “women’s revolution” - Part 2 I point this out neither to absolve men, nor to tarnish women, but only to make the point that the woman-man divide obscures, rather than illuminates, the events in Iran. It obstructs, rather than facilitates, understanding.
Dhimmitude Featured What does Daniel the Dhimmi Andrews know that ex-Muslims don’t? If you’ve been watching the changing fortunes of Islam over the last two to three decades, you’ll have become aware of the phenomenon of public apostasy from Islam. It started as isolated cases here and there of Muslims publicly declaring their rejection of Islam. But it grew so
Totalitarianism Featured And STILL they prattle on about a “women’s revolution” - Part 1 If it were up to women like this, there would never be a revolution in Iran. It is unclear why anyone would be interested in what Banafsheh Zand has to say on the events in Iran, other than that she’s a feminist.
Karl Popper Featured Tolerating Popper Popper would find it very hard to believe that something so much worse than Nazism had been a plague upon the earth for more than a thousand years, and that, after the horrors against which he warned, we hold it as a virtue to tolerate Islam and to go easy on Muslims.
Jihad Shireen Abu Akleh and Grant Wahl: Another lesson that will not be learnt Israel has nothing to do with it. Muslims hate you because their religion obliges them to hate you. It is just a matter of the extent to which they may wish to defy, or can get away with defying, that obligation.
Iran Featured "ENOUGH!" "Israel has been saying that for years and so many distinguished speakers have said clearly from this stage, each in their own words, enough."
Ukraine Featured Onward pregnant soldiers If the IDF is deterred from bombing terrorists for fear of killing civilians, the terrorists are protected and they all declare victory. If the IDF bombs the terrorists, then “Women and children get caught up in the violence,” and the dead terrorists and civilians go straight to Heaven as "martyrs."
Totalitarianism Featured Christopher Hitchens’s “Axis of Evil” speech, Part 2: Iran The Iranian mullahs lost so many young people in the suicide waves that they sent against Iraq, the sending of gangs of school children and teenagers to clear minefields on the Iraqi border. There's not enough room in large parts of Iran to bury the number of people they killed.
Editorials Netanyahu gives substance to "Never again," again. The enemy is not only at the gates. It is in the hearts of Jews and it is in the Knesset. Thankfully, Benjamin Netanyahu knows this, and he is not a timid man. Those who will join him in his new government are not timid either. There is hope.
Polemics Featured Msreading Iran "Women Life Freedom" is not a feminist slogan and this is not a “women’s revolution.” The events unfolding in major parts of the Muslim world mean that after almost 200 years, the 1848 revolutions finally resume: the autonomous individual is far from dead, with a tip of the hat to George Orwell.
Polemics Featured "Islam is not a religion," Answer to Lloyd de Jongh - Part 5 Religion makes it possible for the "scholars" to pervert the lay Muslims' humanity to such an extent that they are willing to kill their own children, yet are ready to die for God. If that is not a religion, then I do not know what is.
Polemics Featured "Islam is not a religion," Answer to Lloyd de Jongh - Part 4 It might offend Lloyd de Jongh to learn that for Islam, his religion is not important enough to warrant "correcting" its errors.
