War on Anti-Islamist Speech Heats Up
“Hit list.” So reads a newspaper headline shown in Fitna, a short film by Dutch MP Geert Wilders that correlates jihadist violence with Koranic decrees. Accompanying the headline are photos of the “hit list” members: murdered moviemaker and provocateur Theo van Gogh, human rights activist and then-parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Wilders himself. With van Gogh long dead and Hirsi Ali having been run out of the Netherlands years ago, the final element of the trio is now being targeted

CAIR’s Problems Start to Snowball
After years of enjoying intimate access to policymakers and offering sensitivity training to law enforcement personnel, luck may be running out for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). As the Islamist lobby group faces an embarrassing lawsuit and a suddenly cold shoulder from Washington, some are speculating that CAIR’s time on the national stage is almost up. The slippery slope began last November. During its annual dinner, CAIR was served with a federal civil complaint on behalf

Modern Segregation Has an Islamist Face
In the twentieth century, minority groups such as African-Americans struggled and sacrificed to achieve integration with the societies that had excluded them. In the twenty-first century, some Muslims hope to run history in reverse, demanding separation from their Western neighbors. Three news items highlight different stages and aspects of this phenomenon. First, it has been revealed that a primary school in Sheffield, England, holds weekly Muslim-only assemblies. The arrangement became known

Some Perspective on Eateries Going Halal
Last week British tabloids had a field day reporting that the nation’s first halal Domino’s Pizza outlet had opened in Birmingham, serving food that conforms to Islamic specifications. This means no ham, bacon, or even the standard version of pepperoni: The new halal menu still includes many of the country’s favorite pizzas, but with a halal twist on the toppings. Items on the menu include halal spicy beef sausage, roast and tandoori chicken, halal pepperoni, and halal cured turkey — all

Austrian Students Get Lessons in Hate
Charlotte Bronte cautioned that “prejudices … are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among rocks.” But sometimes educators are the ones planting those prejudices. The Islamic Religious Community in Austria (IRCA) — the sole legally recognized body that represents Muslim interests before the government and in which all Muslims automatically receive membership — has been providing Islamic

Changing Names to Placate Muslims
Ukraine’s Mecca nightclub is the latest institution to take part in what has become a well-rehearsed ritual: changing its name to avoid offending Muslims. In this case, Kiev bureaucrats “persuaded” the owner to drop the name after local Muslims objected: The Muslims of Kiev reportedly referred to the club’s name, Mecca, as “an opened provocation.” “Giving names of Muslim holy places to hot spots shows utter contempt for Muslims of the Ukraine and the whole world. We, therefore, demand to

Climbs into Bed with CAIR
On March 3 the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) introduced North Carolina State Senator Larry Shaw as the group’s new chairman. A week later the Fayetteville Observer, a leading newspaper in Shaw’s district, published a shameless, unsigned editorial whitewashing CAIR’s radicalism and demonizing the “McCarthyite tone” of those who dare point it out: Critics of State Sen. Larry Shaw’s affiliation with the Council on American-Islamic Relations need to back off, at least long enough

Islamic Sectarian Feuds Come to the West
Muslims have fought — both figuratively and literally — over the “true” Islam ever since a succession dispute erupted after the death of Mohammed. This divide has followed Muslims to the Western world, where it constitutes a neglected facet of radical Islam in countries struggling to assimilate their new arrivals. The issue surfaced most clearly when sectarian tensions spread to Europe and America at the peak of the Iraq war. Threats against Shiite mosques were reported in the suburbs of

Islamist Groups Keep ‘Punking’ the FBI
A coalition of Muslim groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), has threatened to suspend outreach efforts with the FBI following news of the agency planting informants in California mosques. That the man under investigation has been charged with a host of crimes and allegedly was recorded discussing jihad is apparently irrelevant. According to the coalition, the FBI has lost the trust of Muslims by seeding mosques with “agents provocateurs.” Putting aside the irony

Glimmers of Hope in Great Britain
Because the Islamist project has reached a far more advanced stage in Europe, events there often serve as warnings to America about how not to deal with the challenges that lie ahead. Thus it is quite refreshing to be able to highlight a few positive developments in Britain that the United States should consider emulating. First, there is growing realization that the UK’s old strategy of empowering nonviolent Islamists, assumed to “possess the necessary ’street cred’” to marginalize violent
