So, where are all these British Muslim moderates?

The Prime Minister was right to highlight the wider narrative that leads to Islamist violence. Trouble is, in British Muslim society “non-violent extremists who radicalise young people” are part of the mainstream, and no-one has the courage to say it

Cameron campaign against Islamic extremism is long overdue

Prime Minister David Cameron has announced new measures to crack down on Islamic extremism at home and abroad. For far too long, political correctness has allowed this wicked ideology to flourish. Cameron's remarks may seem late in the day to some, but he's on the right track at last

Islam, Conservative leaders, and Pastor James McConnell

Pastor James McConnell's "Satanic Islam" rhetoric may not be everyone's cup of tea. But should he be facing prison for it? Conservative leaders' ridiculous rhetoric that Islam State isn't Islamic is surely more damaging to the future of the West

Islamic Jizya: Fact vs Fiction

The payment of the Jizya, on pain of death, by non-Muslims to their Muslim masters is a form of slavery. It is designed to degrade, despite ludicrous statements to the contrary from Western "liberals". It is fundamental to Islam, and it is coming back

Supremacist roots of Islamic world's ‘grievance’ culture

What the West appears incapable of understanding is that Muslim "grievances" that appeasers say we must address are based on significant strands of superemacism within the Islamic tradition. Applied to anyone else, we'd call it racism. But how "Islamophobic" to say so!

Poison, the pen, political correctness and Islamophobia

The free world is dying, and the false gods of political correctness and so called Islamophobia are killing it. The utter shame as writers withdraw from the PEN Freedom of Expression Courage Award for Charlie Hebdo is a metaphor for our times

Obama’s ‘Christianity’: A political tool to silence Christians

For all his faults on the subject, at least British Prime Minister David Cameron has talked about Christian persecution in the Muslim world. Barack Obama actually uses and abuses Christianity to shut down the discussion altogether. What a disastrous failure of leadership

Obama’s self-professed “Confusion” about Islamic terror

Obama misrepresented episodes from Christian history to exonerate Islamic terror during the National Prayer Breakfast, and he misrepresented Christian virtues like humility to create doubt and moral confusion concerning Islamic terror. What a mess!

The true history of Europe and Islam

Our political leaders, our mainstream academics, and media keep lying to us about the history of Islamic imperialism. The crusades were a minor distraction, and merely a response, to Islam's ongoing war against Western civilisation

First victim of “blasphemy laws” would be Islam itself

If international laws would ban cartoons, books, and films on the basis that they defame Islam, they would also, by logical extension, have to ban the entire religion of Islam itself -- the only major religion whose core texts actively and unequivocally defame other religions, including by name

Charlie Hebdo: We should not tolerate the intolerant

There is something deeply problematic about French society, rooted in the French Revolution. The secular state has made people ignorant about religion, fragmenting society in the process. I obviously condemn the massacres in Paris, but I am not Charlie, says Charlotte Kude

Islamic violence must end. The lives of billions are at stake

After the tragic events in Paris, some Westerners got the point, most did not. Interestingly, Egypt's President el-Sisi really nailed it in late December asking starkly whether Islam would reform or risk killing the world's population of 7 billion

Islamic "Reformation" fails as child marriage re-affirmed

All enlightened people want to believe in an Islamic "Reformation", mainly because we don't want unending conflict. Trouble is Muslims must follow Mohammed's example, and that poses problems where the abuse of young girls is concerned
