Following Wednesday’s Islamist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, the Associated Press has removed an image of Andres Serrano’s 1987 photograph Piss Christ from its image bank.
Sultan Haji Hassnal Bolkiah of Brunei has banned Christmas in his Kingdom. This latest ban was implemented “after a number of people were reportedly spotted wearing clothes resembling Santa Claus at Christmas time.”
Iran denounced the Charlie Hebdo massacre but refused to allow Iranian journalists to show solidarity with their murdered counterparts. Authorities blocked the journalists from the old building for the Association of Iranian Journalists.
The massacre of the staff of Charlie Hebdo takes its place among the despicable crimes committed in the name of Islamic fundamentalism. As the nation of France and the world come to terms with both horror and grief, details are emerging about the perpetrators of this atrocity and the means by which it was carried out.
On Friday’s broadcast of “The Kelly File,” conservative commentator Ann Coulter reacted to the recent events in France involving Muslim terrorists killing 15 involving an incident at the offices of the French magazine Charlie Hebdo. According to Coulter, this and
Bill Maher declared that he understood why Europeans were concerned about the Islamification of the continent on Friday’s “Real Time” on HBO. “There was a rally in Germany, and ‘rally in Germany,’ right away, kind of red flag. But it
The first step in rehabilitation ought to be to admit that there is a colossal number of Muslims–and, yes, they are Muslims, and, yes, they practise Islam–who are quite relaxed about acts of violence in the name of Allah.
One of the two French jihadist brothers responsible for the Charlie Hebdo killings had in the past personally met with deceased chief Al Qaeda recruiter Anwar al Awlaki, according to a senior member of Yemen’s intelligence services who told Reuters
Twitter accounts associated with the Islamic State (ISIS) and radical Islam mourned the deaths of brothers Said and Cherif Kouchai and Amedy Coulibaly in France. French officials killed the two brothers, the men who allegedly slaughtered twelve innocent people at Charlie Hebdo, on Friday after they hid in a printing press building in Dammartin-en-Goele, just north of Paris.
For sheer brutality, it pales in comparison to the massacre of journalists and cartoonists Wednesday at the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo, but Saudi Arabia’s flogging of a liberal blogger Friday further shows how rooted the concept of violence is in response to any insult of Islam.
In the wake of the attack on a French satirical paper yesterday, the progressive left has renewed an argument which says anyone who believes Islamic extremism is at war with western culture is an extremist themselves.
French authorities classified the death of police officer Clarissa Jean-Philippe, 25, a terrorist attack. The shooting is France’s second terrorist attack within a span of 24 hours. Two gunmen slaughtered twelve people at Charlie Hebdo headquarters on Wednesday as they screamed, “Allahu Akbar!” Even though both are considered terrorist attacks, authorities did not initially link the attacks, though reports are now surfacing that the three suspects may be related.
We have all heard the dramatic tale of how terrorists come from poor, oppressed families and are virtually forced into terrorism to escape discrimination and poverty. Young, desperate and idealistic, they turn to terror as their only way out of the hellhole into which society has buried them.
One of the most controversial, and yet indisputable, observations that can be made about the current state of global affairs is that Islam has problems with violence and aggression. (That’s not redundant – cultural and political aggression without physical violence are possible, and troublesome.)
Residents in southern and western Mosul, Iraq discovered a mass grave with over 320 bodies, including children, allegedly murdered by the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL).
One of two French police officers who were killed during the brutal attack on Paris-based satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo was also a Muslim. Ahmed Merabet, 42, begged for his life to be spared before mercilessly being slain by two of three radical Islamists who would carry out his untimely demise as well as murder 11 other unarmed civilians.
After being told for the past six years that there is no threat from Islamism, Americans are slowly waking up to the the fact that radical Islam does indeed pose a serious threat to the West. It is becoming difficult for most to deny that the carnage we witnessed in Paris, as well as Syria, Iraq, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, our own shores on 9/11, and in countless other countries for the past 1,400 years, is a product of Islam.
You just can’t make this stuff up. The former head of the Democrat Party, Howard “The Screamer” Dean is all bothered about Islamic terrorists being called “Muslim terrorists,” even after they were heard shouting “Allahu akbar” while they were mowing down people with their AK-47’s.
Jonathan Laurence, and associate professor of political science at Boston College and nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, writes in Slate that Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s National Front political party, is “ready to seize the moment” after Wednesday’s Islamist massacre at the offices of satire magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Leaders in San Diego’s Muslim community have issued strong words of condemnation against Wednesday’s attack on the French newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris that left 12 dead, but have also questioned the unrestrained exercise of free speech concerning religious figures, suggesting it may cross into “hate speech.”
Our response should be hope: hope that ridicule and not retaliation is our response. Because in the bleak twilight of French grief, when it seems that nothing could ever make good on the loss and violation that these animals have unleashed in one of the world’s great capital cities, what ought to ring out loud and true are not the echoes of gunfire—but guffaws at the proposition that subhumans with submachine guns will undo the achievements of our civilisation.
Islamist terror group Boko Haram reportedly burned down an entire Nigerian village on Wednesday, killing an estimated 2,000 people.
OK, let’s get ready to rumble and stop all the polite bullsh*t. We all know that this is happening. We all know that the Jews, Christians, and the West are under attack by two forces – radical Islam and the American left.
The UK Mirror, a tabloid magazine, is reporting that Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) terrorists have beheaded a popular street magician in Syria for defying their strict interpretation of Sharia law with his performances.
On Wednesday night, CNN International Correspondent Jim Clancy entered full meltdown mode on Twitter after critics fired back at his assertion that magazine Charlie Hebdo’s Prophet Muhammad cartoons did not criticize the prophet. Clancy went on a conspiratorial and borderline anti-Semitic tirade, accusing those who disagreed with him as being propagandists for Israel.
