Ocasio-Cortez should read up on the world’s failure to rescue Jews when it mattered most, and compare their fate, and the numbers of victims, with that of the Central Americans.

Her comparison of the people in the caravan fleeing Central America — and being prevented only from entering the U.S. illegally — to Jews fleeing Nazis is grotesque.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, not content with turning Turkey’s secular democracy into an islamized and islamizing despotism, has been expanding his influence and power among the large Turkish communities in Western Europe.

This is one more way to continue the narrative of Israel as a foreign body, stealing not just “Palestinian” land, but also stealing “Palestinian” culture, including its clothing, its keffiyeh, and its food.

This triumphalist statement is a staple of Islamic propaganda.

If a Muslim woman cannot go out in public in France unless she wears a niqab, that is her problem — and her husband’s. It is not a reason for the French state to let down its guard against the real and present danger of niqabbed criminals.

Since 2001, more than 60,000 Christian villagers have been killed by Fulani herdsmen.

While all eyes seem to be elsewhere — on North Korea, on Iran and the attack at Ahvaz, on the U.K. floundering over how to settle its Brexit affairs and the U.S. floundering over a Supreme Court nomination — in Nigeria there is an ongoing jihad against the Christians.

Corbyn moved the hard-left Seamus Milne, his director of communications, and his most important staff member, to Labour headquarters back in August 2017, in order to have Milne, who was once a journalist on a Communist paper, purge the party of all its moderates, and to put in place, in the Party’s bureaucracy, only those of the hard-left.

The only surprising thing in this tale is why the Maldivians allowed those statues to be built and placed underwater in shore cages in the first place.

The next time you are told that the Israelis need to “make peace” with their Arab neighbors by signing a treaty, you can point out Israel already has the only “peace” that it can count on. This is the “peace” that is enforced by deterrence, that is, by the power of the IDF.

If even the Socialists show themselves willing to shut the very doors that they made a point, so recently, of flinging open to such immigrants, there is hope that Europe itself can come to its senses.

We don’t have to guess what Hitler thought of Islam. He tells us. He is unambiguously admiring.

We should choose to remain supporters of the Saudis who, despite their conduct of the war in Yemen, are for now no threat to American national interests. And right now, Iran is.

In Toronto, at the Alexander the Great Parkette, those virtuous Canadians who pride themselves on their tolerance showed, not for the first time, that they don’t need no stinkin’ free speech.

What, in the first place, is the effect of such a news story, which has been getting significant coverage online? It feeds a narrative of Islam On The March, of Islamic triumphalism.

The Ayatollah Khomeini famously said that “there is no fun in Islam.” How wrong he was. He never met Travaile Speller.

To understand Islam you have to study the texts, the teachings, the history of Islam, the history of Jihad. Only thus, and it takes work.

Macron has now been in office for a year. And nothing has happened to change, much less transform, either the attitudes or behavior of Muslims in France.

Just like his brother Tariq, Hani Ramadan may finally be getting the kind of attention he so richly deserves.

She may have taken her first Instagram comments down. But they still exist permanently in the ether; screenshots can be taken; her words can still be retrieved and read by anyone. And they will always have the ring of truth because, of course, they are the truth.

This should have been the headline everywhere: “With Lionel Messi, his family, and other players under death threat from Palestinians, Argentinean team cancels match.”

The Handshake: “A Very Small Issue That Is Incredibly Huge”

The Muslim presence in France increases inexorably, their large families made possible by the benefits of a generous, and dangerously oblivious, welfare state.

There is an ideological war going on, right here at home, for the hearts and minds of many Americans who, having been misinformed about Islam, convert on the basis of that misinformation.

Yunique Saafir deserves to know the truth about the position of women in Islam.

Why this silence about what’s been happening to the ‘Palestinians’ in Yarmouk?

As a black man, Iwobi poses problems for his opponents. He cannot easily be accused of “racism.”

Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman ended his two-week charm offensive in the United States by granting an interview to Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic. In it, he declared that his country recognized the right of the Jews “to their own land,” for which statement — the bar is set very low — he is being hailed as a veritable prince of peace.

French Jews now need all the allies they can get. Marine Le Pen is one of them. Jean-Luc Melenchon is not.

It is useful to remind people that over the past 1400 years many, perhaps most, of those who converted to Islam did so not because they were convinced of the truth of Islam, but in order to stay alive and avoid the humiliating status of dhimmi.

Having been a survivor of the Holocaust at the age of 9, Mireille Knoll then became the victim, at the age of 85, of Islamic antisemitism, the one that is stalking France today and making French Jews fearful.

Much of the news from Muslim lands is horrifying, but where there are signs of decency and hope, no matter how small, they ought to be noted and applauded.

Here is one example of an ISIS fighter, enduring his mental disarray and seemingly permanent despair, that was “cured” by conversion to Islam.

Jebreal is ignoring American reality. There are not millions of KKK members marching down our streets, our media — radio, television, newspapers — are not broadcasting the messages of white supremacists, but denouncing them.

Much is made of this “diversity,” which in the film is described in rapturous terms: it supposedly proves that “Islam is not a monolith.” And if “Islam is not a monolith,” then, we are supposed to believe, the Kuffars cannot criticize “all Muslims” or hold “Islam” responsible for this outrage or for that.

Tariq Ramadan is on trial. But so are his loyalists everywhere — in France, in Morocco, in other Muslim lands.

The new head of the Swedish National Heritage Board is a Muslim, Qaisar Mahmood, born in Pakistan.

Acts of terrorism by Muslims in India are given very little attention in the Western media unless foreigners are among the victims.

A Chinese writer, Ding Gang, recently musing on the dangers of Islam in Asia, wrote an article that asked this question: “During a trip to India not long ago, a question came to me: Why does it seem that Muslims in India have remained largely apart from the radicalization that has happened to Muslim groups in other parts of the world?”

The Egyptian scholar and historian of medieval Islam, Professor Youssef Ziedan, recently caused a great deal of controversy in Muslim Arab circles, roiling the waters when he put forth, on an Egyptian talk show, his argument as go why the “Al-Aqsa” mosque in Jerusalem is not, and cannot be, the real one.

Both Egypt and Saudi Arabia have told the “Palestinians” to simmer down, and in effect, to accept the embassy move which, they know, will not be changed no matter what Mahmoud Abbas threatens.

Ramadan has been treated very differently by a Muslim community that, one might have hoped, would shun him the way Harvey Weinstein and so many others in the United States have been shunned. Instead, Ramadan continues to be lionized by a Muslim community that sees him as their champion, supposedly victimized by the enemies of Islam. Wild charges have been made by his supporters, including that of a “Zionist plot” designed to silence him.

Ataturk wanted to secularize Turkey so that it would not be condemned to a state of permanent backwardness. He was very clear in his dismissal of the baleful effects of Islam, which he contemptuously called “the religion of the Arabs.”

It is clear that Erdogan dreams of rivaling the Ottoman despots. He has outsmarted the army and outmaneuvered his civilian opponents.

These groups have defied threats by the Pakistani military to remove them physically from their sit-ins in front of, or even inside, government buildings. Tehreek-i-Labaik’s leader, Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi, known as a firebrand, has been the uncompromising organizer and public face of this protest, ranting against what to most of us would seem the most minor of infractions.

It’s not only the Hindus in Bangladesh who have endured Muslim violence. Buddhists and Christians too have been victims of Muslim mobs.

We have all heard Pope Francis over the years repeatedly utter disturbing words of praise for Islam. Some have wondered if perhaps he was playing a subtle game, trying to convince Muslims to be not as they are, but as he described them– to “measure up” to the Pope’s imaginary Islam. Others thought he was simply ignorant.

Is it somewhere written that the countries of the advanced West are required to admit Muslims into their lands, or to continue to endure their large-scale presence, no matter what information may come to light, with greater understanding as a result, of the meaning and menace of Islam?

The saga of Tariq Ramadan continues, as more revelations come out about this monstrous human being, for so long the privileged paladin of Islam in Europe.
