The Perry/Aga Khan curriculum: Ace folds, presents as the curriculum material that isn’t the curriculum at all
Ace of Spades is one of those juvenile, leering fratboy blogs that has never appealed to me. The first time this was sent to me, I took a look, saw how inaccurate, fact-free, and contemptuous (to say nothing of contemptible) the presentation was, and hadn’t intended to reply. Ace can’t…
Malaysian state government rolls out ‘faith-rescue unit’ to keep Muslims from going ‘astray’
Muslim advocates usually assert that Muslims are ‘unshakable’ in their conviction to remain believers, especially in the face of ‘pernicious infidel religions’ (particularly Christianity).

Nigeria: Boko Haram claims responsibility for UN bombing
It was predictable enough. Needless to say, this attack is a major escalation for Boko Haram, and the stability of the country depends on the strength of Abuja’s response. "Abuja attack: Car bomb hits Nigeria UN building," from BBC News, August 26: At least 18 people have been killed in…
Pakistan: 14-year-old girl kidnapped, forcibly converted to Islam
Those who hold the reins of power could care less about where they cross the line into "compulsion in religion" (Qur’an 2:256). Indeed, Islamic law contradicts itself on that very point, being replete in letter and spirit with various forms of coercion and persuasion. Some are more subtle, but many…
Algeria: Suicide bomb kills 18 at military academy
Al-Qaeda claimed the last major attack. The timing of this attack to coincide with the end of the day’s fast would fit their flair for symbolism in slaughter. "Algeria suicide bomb attack hits military academy," from BBC News, August 26: A suicide bomb attack on a military academy in Algeria…
Somali jihadists behead 11 in Mogadishu
This story notes that al-Shabaab certainly seems to like their beheadings and amputations, but does not make the connection regarding their symbolic significance. The point al-Shabaab intends to make is that they are playing "by the book" as they fight to impose Islamic law. Qur’an 47:4: "Therefore, when ye meet…
