Allah Akbaa!

On Oct. 26, 2012, Scissons sold three sheep to a group of Muslim men at his Ottawa-area farm. Three of the men then slaughtered the animals according to Islamic ritual in honour of the holiday Eid al-Adha. The three men weren’t charged with any crime.
“I never understood why these individuals were never charged,” Andrews said. “They confirmed during the investigation that they broke several counts of the law. Mr. Scissons didn’t participate (in the sacrifice). He doesn’t have a building or any tools that he gave to the individuals to perform the slaughter. I can only assume that the court wanted to avoid political fallout because (Scissons) is the only non-Muslim in this story.”

Those Moderate Muslims!

Asra Q. Nomani;

Then 38, I had just written an essay for The Washington Post’s Outlook section arguing that women should be allowed to pray in the main halls of mosques, rather than in segregated spaces, as most mosques in America are arranged. An American Muslim born in India, I grew up in a tolerant but conservative family. In my hometown mosque, I had disobeyed the rules and prayed in the men’s area, about 20 feet behind the men gathered for Ramadan prayers.
Later, an all-male tribunal tried to ban me. An elder suggested having men surround me at the mosque so that I would be “scared off.” Now the man across the table was telling me to shut up.
“I won’t stop writing,” I said.

Immigration and Islam: Europe’s Crisis of Faith

Consider Éric Zemmour, a slashing television debater and a gifted polemicist. His history of the collapse of France’s postwar political order, “Le suicide français,” was No. 1 on the best-seller lists for several weeks this fall. “Today, our elites think it’s France that needs to change to suit Islam, and not the other way around,” Mr. Zemmour said on a late-night talk show in October, “and I think that with this system, we’re headed toward civil war.”
