Does Park51 Really Matter?
This is a cross-post by Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens
For the past week I have been in New York, and on Tuesday took the afternoon to visit Ground Zero and Park51, the site of the Cordoba Initiative’s proposed Islamic centre.
As I pressed the timer on my watch so as to check how long it took to walk from [...]

The forces of unreason descend on Ground Zero
This is a cross-post by Edmund Standing from Harry’s Place
The Daily Mail reports on ‘The moment an angry crowd protesting against Ground Zero mosque turns on man in a skullcap… because they think he is a Muslim’.
I hope Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller are suitably ashamed. The so-called ‘anti-jihad’ movement spearheaded by these two characters [...]

On being a Muslim Jew
This is cross-post by Shiraz Maher from Focus on Islamism
I have long maintained that I don’t ‘do’ theology. It really is not my game and, given the mess modern Islam finds itself in, there is very little to be gained from my entering the fray. Those who know me or follow my writing will know [...]

Andy Hull Writes to the Papers
This is a cross-post by Lucy Lips from Harry’s Place
Jews and Muslims are familiar with it. The pig’s head desecrating the place of worship.
That’s what happened at the Finsbury Park Mosque, last month. The perpetrators of this criminal and disgusting act have yet to be caught. However, the mosque has a very good idea of [...]

Lessons Learnt?
This is a guest-post by Chris Blackburn
The recent deluge of sensitive information by Wikileaks on the US in AfPak has made me really mad. I don’t care about the breach of security, although, the naming of Afghan informants was highly cavalier and Julian Assange should have blanked out assets names. Intelligence and the suppression of [...]

Goodbye Pakistan?
This is a cross-post by Terry Glavin
The Sound of Pennies Dropping:
1. Pakistan’s main spy agency says homegrown Islamist militants have overtaken the Indian army as the greatest threat to national security, a finding with potential ramifications for relations between the two rival South Asian nations and for the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan. A recent internal [...]

Veiled Values
This is a cross-post by Kenan Malik
In his bestselling book America Alone, the Canadian writer Mark Steyn fantasises about the state of Europe in 2020. The Islamists have stormed to power right across the continent. No English pub can sell alcohol. Holland’s gay clubs have been relocated to San Francisco. And every French woman is [...]
Can Muslims be loyal citizens of non-Muslim countries?
This is a cross-post by Usama Hasan
Bismillah. This is by Rashad Ali (edited by myself), in response to a discussion about whether or not Muslims can be loyal citizens of non-Muslim countries whilst remaining part of the fellowship of the people of God (which is what the Qur’anic term “ummah” means, eg in Surah al-Anbiya’ [...]

A reduction of reality at the Guardian?
This is a cross-post by Shiraz Maher from the StandPoint blog
Oh dear, it really hasn’t been a good week for the Guardian.
On Monday Comment is Free invited Gerry Adams to pontificate about – would you believe it – the killing of civilians. Yes, really. Since when did the Guardian recognise Gerry Adams as the moral [...]
