Jihad Featured "Will Nupur Sharma ever lead a normal life? Should moderate Muslims speak up?" - A commentary - Part 3 Hindu talk of boycotting Muslim businesses is partly out of helpless despair, and partly out of an urgency to do something when they have no idea what to do. There is nothing either helpless or desperate about jihad murder. It is calculated, meticulously planned, and painstakingly executed.
Jihad Featured "Will Nupur Sharma ever lead a normal life? Should moderate Muslims speak up?" - A commentary - Part 2 That the "innocent" Muslim barber might go out of business is just tough, but Hindus did not create Muslims and certainly did not teach them jihad. Besides, it is not unlawful to save yourself from a Muslim unless, of course, you are a dhimmi.
Jihad Featured "Will Nupur Sharma ever lead a normal life? Should moderate Muslims speak up?" - A commentary - Part 1 Is there anyone on earth apart from Muslims, with whom something as natural as friendship goes hand-in-hand with life-threatening risk? Sure, between Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler, between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. But what kind of friendship is it when you have to watch you back all the time?
Totalitarianism Featured Christopher Hitchens’s “Axis of Evil” speech, Part 1 All the years that were spent in trying to contain, coerce, or civilise this man, had been wasted. They had all been exploited by him to advance his program. It seemed that his appetite for power only grew with the eating.
Totalitarianism Featured Eid al-Adha, sacrifice no more While the relationship between Islam and the kufaar expands Islam, the relationship between the scholars and lay Muslims sustains it. The rejection of the relationship between the scholars and lay Muslims is huge, for it is existential.
Polemics Featured Words, propaganda and head of a newborn babe, Part 2 Propaganda is truth presented in such a way as to achieve a particular effect on the one exposed to it, whether the claim is believed or not is unimportant, therefore whether it is true or not is unimportant. This is exactly why Muslims lie so much.
Polemics Featured Words, propaganda and head of a newborn babe, Part 1 It is possible that this was not a crime, but it was most certainly not a "botched surgery," as some are so anxious to declare.
Muslim Brotherhood When your enemy is the Muslim Brotherhood and their enemy is atheism, which one is your friend? A Muslim converting to another religion is bad, but to deny the existence of Allah is to destroy Islam, expose all prophets as frauds, and show that placing the “people of knowledge” over those who must hear and obey is a monumental scam.
Dissidents/Ex-Muslims Featured The ex-Muslim activist trap Ultimately, ex-Muslim hatred of non-Muslim scholars of Islam comes down to a combination of envy and fear of being eclipsed. After all, such scholars, mostly academics, are highly educated and highly read, while most ex-Muslims are stunted from their experience under Islam.
Atheism/religion The panic of the sheikhs Atheism spooks the sheikhs. People cannot turn to them for answers, and must seek and find their own answers. Lying flat dissolves the CCP’s power over the Chinese people in exactly the same way as a Muslim woman marrying an atheist does.
Atheism/religion A Muslim’s humanity exposes Christian Prince’s inhumanity CP can afford to be stone-cold logical in his take-downs of Islam, assured in the knowledge that even if Islam were a lovely, peaceful religion, Muslims would still be unable to defend it. But if that same device is turned against Christianity, he must deflect as hard as possible by whatever means.

Palestinians The double death of "the Palestinians" - Part 3 The Palestinians had to preside over the supreme humiliation of seeing more than half the "Arab nation" abandon them right there. The Arab states see Israel and they see the opportunity cost of the "Palestinian cause." If ever the writing was on the wall...
Palestinians The double death of "the Palestinians" - Part 2 We need to understand the Palestinians' initial refusal to acknowledge that they were henceforth Palestinians. Yesterday they were the mighty Arab nation fighting to drive the Jews from a part of that Arab nation’s vast land; today they are nothing but Palestinians, an Arab people without land.
Palestinians The double death of "the Palestinians" - Part 1 The kufaar are successful in this life, Muslims are successful in the next life. It's as simple as that. When Muslims sever themselves from the next life, they set their humanity free. They have something to lose here and now, and all the world is better for it. That's the whole story. That's it.

Totalitarianism Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 11 “The matter is summed up for every person alive: either submit, or live under the suzerainty of Islam, or die… Such, then, is the basis of the relationship between the infidel and the Muslim. Battle, animosity and hatred—directed from the Muslim to the infidel—is the foundation of our religion.” AQR
Totalitarianism Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 10 “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. History has stopped.”
Totalitarianism Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 9 Newspeak, propagandistic language characterised by euphemism, circumlocution, and the inversion of customary meanings. Coined by George Orwell in his novel Nineteen Eighty-four. Newspeak, “designed to diminish the range of thought,” the language of Big Brother’s enforcers. —Britannica (excerpt).
Totalitarianism Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 8 Arbitrary control is the conditio sine qua non of totalitarianism. All you need to do is point your finger, utter “Islamophobia”, and it is done. When we agreed to create “hate speech,” we conceded that our thoughts and emotions must be policed. This has always been the business of totalitarianism.
Jihad The infatuation with Mansour Abbas: déjà vu all over again Mansour Abbas has been praised to the rafters for his mendacious Holocaust Remembrance speech before the Knesset in April 2020, in which everyone heard only what they wanted to hear and ignored what they didn't want to hear.
Totalitarianism Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 7 Whether class struggle that must inevitably lead to the dictatorship of the proletariat, or “No one comes to the Father except through me,” or “until all worship is for Allah alone," the idea is the same: we act in accord with our purpose, the only way to real human happiness.
Totalitarianism Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 6 You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behaviour. In these people the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible.
