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.

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.

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.

"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.

"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.

"Islam is not a religion," Answer to Lloyd de Jongh - Part 3

"You shouldn’t be in the totalitarianism business if you can't exploit a ready-made reservoir of credulity and servility that’s as big as that." —Christopher Hitchens.

Austria: Mosque found to be hub for jihad terrorist recruitment

A mosque is not a place of worship. It is a recruitment and operations centre. A madrassa is not a school. It is an indoctrination centre. We have to start from what things are, not from what we imagine, or would like, them to be.

Anatomy of a madness, Part 4

I read The Satanic Verses in the winter of 1996-97, unemployed and frozen, and again in the winter of 2014-15, Charlie Hebdo on TV 24/7. The third time was in that magical realist summer of 2020, with a fresh-ish MFA to my name, to study the work as art. 12 August 2022: the author survived.

"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.

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.

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.

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...

The "migration crisis" on the Polish border, Part 1

Asylum — n. The right of any Muslim to settle anywhere, be paid forever for not working, and not be punished for whatever they do. Linked to multiculturalism and jihad. See also: represent, community, violence, racism, privilege, critical, peace, diversity, extremist. — Standard Newspeak Lexicon.

Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 5

Were they not in such a parlous state, they would see that Zemmour is their very last hope to stop the slide towards the stark alternatives of either civil war or barbarism

Totalitarianism

Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 2

Shari’a is evil, Islam is evil, the Qur’an is evil, Muhammad is evil: husbands may imprison, rape and beat their wives; parents may kill their children; men may rape children; a dhimmi may not defend himself against a Muslim; a divorced woman must be pimped out before her marriage can be restored…

Totalitarianism: we have become comfortably numb - Part 1

Free people slinked into the darkest crevasse, and there made themselves comfortable. George Orwell and Martin Luther King’s lives overlapped like father and son, and from the heart of darkness we know as Black Lives Matter, these two beacons shine from a Golden Age when truth was still spoken.

Shari'a

Shari’a, unseen in plain sight — a commentary. Part 3: Jihad

“Able to perform it” does not only mean to wield a weapon and kill non-Muslims. It also means to assist those who wield weapons and kill non-Muslims: by giving them money, food, shelter, transport, documents, sons, pointing out the houses, cars or work places of non-Muslims earmarked for killing…

Shari'a

Shari’a, unseen in plain sight — a commentary. Part 2: Debate

To live amongst kufaar who do not feel themselves subdued is for everyday life to be an unrelenting debate in which the kufaar rub the ugly truth of your perfect religion in your face day in and day out, and your only rebuttals are “Islamophobia” and the occasional mass murder. It is insufferable.

Humanity/inhumanity

Shari’a, unseen in plain sight — a commentary. Part 1: Women’s “rights” in Islam

Most Muslims find the practice highly distasteful, which is both irrelevant and, of course, highly relevant. What kind of person would sooner put up with nikah halala than leave a religion that so utterly degrades them?
