  • A Tireless Muslim Advocate for Islamic Reform

    It’s a shame that conservative arsonist Andrew Breitbart has torched his own credibility so thoroughly at the time one of his websites was preparing to publish an important message from my favorite Muslim-American patriot. As a public service to anyone who doesn’t want to give Breitbart’s site any traffic, I’m posting an extensive excerpt here […]

  • The Odd Disinterest in a Real-Life Spy Thriller

    Now Homeland Security is using the book to try to deport Yousef for providing "material support" for terrorists — despite the fact that he was saving Israeli lives from those very terrorists.

  • Islam May Not Be the Enemy, But the Enemy Is Islamic

    Ayaan Hirsi Ali has earned the right to be critical of Islam. She was raised as a devout Muslim in Somalia and Kenya.  At the age of five, her genitals were cut in a barbaric Somali ritual at the insistence of her Islamic grandmother.  In her twenties, her Islamic father gave her in marriage to […]

  • My Hero, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, on Islamic Death Threats

    In the midst of the controversy over "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" it’s important to keep in mind the nature of the man being mocked. The Prophet spread his message at the point of the sword, and apostasy was only one of many transgressions for which the penalty was death.

  • “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” May Be Better as a Concept than as Something Actually to Do

    I have one quibble with the contest at Reason — they seem to have cropped out a couple of essential dots. If you enlarge the image, print it out and connect the dots, you’ll find that dots No. 31 and 32 are missing. Since they’re at the bottom of the image, they presumably would establish Mohammed’s beard — without which he looks more like Sonic the Hedgehog.

  • Surprise! “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” Draws Threats

    The theory behind "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" is that the jihadis can’t kill all of us. Let’s hope there are no casualties at all.

  • Faisal Shahzad: The Terrorist Next Door

    Shahzad was living the American Dream. Somehow this well-educated, solidly middle-class family man was so affected by a poisonous ideology that he drove a car bomb to Times Square and tried to kill random people — who might well have included attractive young families like his own.

  • Ajami Offers Wisdom on Islam and the Middle East

    "We can be proud of what we have done in Iraq. America has midwifed a binational state — that means Arab and Kurd — and we have midwifed a democratic entity in the heart of the Middle East…. I think history will be immensely kind to what he [President Bush] did in Iraq."

  • Devout Muslim Says Shahzad Should Be Tried for Treason

    One of my all-time favorite Muslims, Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, pulls no punches in condemning his co-religionist: “The actions of Faisal Shahzad a naturalized US citizen on May 1, 2010 were a calculated and deliberate act of treason. Shahzad’s cowardly attempt to kill innocent Americans […]

  • More from Ayaan Hirsi Ali on Mohammed’s Image

    In today’s Wall Street Journal, Ayaan Hirsi Ali calls for a campaign of solidarity with the makers of South Park, who were the targets of veiled death threats after daring to invoke the name of Mohammed on their cartoon show. The entertainment business, especially Hollywood, is one of the wealthiest and most powerful industries in […]
