In Any Language, the Ground Zero Mosque is a Bad Idea
Yasser Arafat, the Father of Modern Terrorism, whose 1994 receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize tarnished that award for all time, pioneered the art of condemning violence in English while encouraging it in Arabic. He largely got away with it, because of a shortage of Arabic-language speakers in America and Europe. Enter MEMRI, the indispensable […]

A Symposium on Moderate Islam — and Why the Ground Zero Imam Doesn’t Qualify
Two useful features today in the Wall Street Journal. First, a symposium titled “What is Moderate Islam?“, in which six scholars and thought leaders explore the topic that represents the world’s best hope for peaceful coexistence between Islam and the West. Second, “Letters from the Imam,” in which the man behind a controversial proposed Islamic […]

Muslims Against the Ground Zero Mosque
When I first started hearing about it, the controversy over a proposed mosque near the gaping hole where the twin towers once stood seemed like an annoying distraction. I wished the whole discussion would just go away.  I sympathized with the visceral opposition to a monument to Islam near where fanatical Muslims killed so many […]

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 […]

Islam Needs a Reformation, Not Technological Help
Leave it to a devout and patriotic Muslim-American to smack down the Obama Administration’s latest example of unseriousness in the struggle against Islamic fascism. You may have read that Charles Bolden told al-Jazeera last week that when Obama appointed him to lead NASA, the president gave him three charges:Â “One, he wanted me to help […]

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 […]

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 […]

May 20 is “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day”
The suits at Comedy Central have aided and abetted terrorism by censoring an episode of South Park to remove all references to Mohammed. They followed in the courageous footsteps of the Yale University Press, which, before publishing a book about the Danish cartoon controversy last year, deleted the actual cartoons from the manuscript. South Park […]

Christmas Attack Was an Act of War, But It’s Being Treated Like a Crime
After allegedly telling investigators “there are more just like me who will strike soon,” Captain Underpants apparently has been allowed to lawyer up and stop talking. In the Wall Street Journal, former Justice Department official Victoria Toensing explains why this is madness: Abdulmutallab is in effect in possession of a ticking bomb, but we cannot […]
