Islam and the West: What is my Preferred Prophylaxis?
I wrote this last year. Its reposting, slightly redacted, is appropriate in the wake of Manchester. I explain the main thing that must be done if the West is to survive as the West. ……………………… Things are coming to a head. We cannot tolerate as a 'new normal' another Islamist slaughter of innocents every six…

Stupid Catholics with a Death Wish
Yet another example: The Diocese of Orlando recently reprimanded a sixth grade teacher at a Catholic school for an “unfortunate exhibit of disrespect.” What did he do? He provided printouts to students of St. John Bosco’s negative assessment of Islam. St. John Bosco called Islam a “monstrous mixture of Judaism, Paganism, and Christianity,” and explained…

‘Religion of Peace’ Update
Here: Suspected suicide bombers struck two [Coptic Christian] Egyptian churches on Palm Sunday, killing more than 40 people in the deadliest assault on civilians since President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi’s election nearly three years ago.

Is Islam a Religion? Buddhism?
Claude Boisson writes, Given your criterion 3 for an ideology to be a religious doctrine, it is doubtful that Islam could be viewed as a religion (it is also a socio-political system with a supremacist agenda, but that is another matter). In Islam, man can err, has to be obedient to Allah, but man…

Zuhdi Jasser
Saturday morning I heard for the third time Dr. Jasser speak. One of the questions I put to him was: "How many American mosques foment political or Sharia-based Islam?" He praised the precision and relevance of my question, preferring it to the question, "How many American mosques foment terrorism?" Jasser's answer to my question was…

Diversity Can Be Our Weakness
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada responding to the fatal shooting at the Centre culturel islamique de Québec located in the Ste-Foy neighbourhood of the city of Québec: Diversity is our strength, and religious tolerance is a value that we, as Canadians, hold dear. I should think that strength derives from unity, not diversity. "United we…

Know-Nothing Catholics on Muslim Immigration
William Kilpatrick: It can be expected that Catholic bishops will respond with dismay to President Trump’s order banning immigration from seven Muslim nations. When Trump first proposed banning Muslims from entering the U.S., Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, the president of the USCCB issued a statement repudiating “the hatred and suspicion that leads to policies of discrimination.”…

Hodges on Islam as Religious-Political Ideology
Horace Jeffery Hodges is the oldest of my cyber-friends dating back to the '90s. He writes: In a recent post on Islam – how to conceive of it and how to deal with it – my cyber-friend Bill Vallicella notes that some who undertake this task mistakenly assume: that Islam is a religion like any…

Barbarians Within the Gates
Robert Royal: Some European newspapers have reported lately – very quietly – that, according to police in Germany’s North Rhineland/ Westphalia region, from 2011 to 2016 there were 3500 cases of vandalism/desecration of Christian churches. About two per day in only one region of Germany, every day for the past five years. That's the bad…
