One of the world’s leading critics of Islam comes out of the closet. A strange boldness has overtaken the infidels and apostates ahead of the release of Geert Wilders’s film: More and more of them are laying their cards on the table. Strength in numbers? Click the image to watch.

“… comes out of the closet.”

Nah, that’s too easy.

Long video. But, good luck with that pal. Get in the habit of checking your six every 10 steps from now on… and ducking every time your hear “allah ackbar!”

SilverStar830 on March 10, 2008 at 6:35 PM

I wish him much success.

I was wondering what the rough translation was…

I pray for him. He’s so important and so fantastic.

SilverStar830 on March 10, 2008 at 6:35 PM

He’s moving to Israel?

Two related videos…

“How can they be dangerous?”

Is the interviewer soft-balling to get the important truths, or is he just a Euro-dolt?

this dude looks like Roman Polanski ..

Heh… “www.dr.dk” is just a step away from “www.dirka-dirka.com”

I appreciate the fact that the guy is risking his life by fighting Islam, but for AllahPundit’s sake, couldn’t he find another nickname other than “Ibn Warraq.”

Why does it have to have “Ibn” in it?

Is this the new name fashion even among the Infidels and the terrorists?

Isn’t enough we have names like ‘Britney’ and ‘Justin’?

And why “Warraq” (which means ‘paper’ or ‘paper man’ in Arabic)?

Why not something like “Abou Barghouta” (which means ‘Father of a BedBug’)??

Be creative!

The correct phrase is “in from the cold“.

Not “out of the closet“.

What’s the slur fer?

I was wondering the same thing, and I’m still not sure.

And for what it’s worth, I think his book should be at the top of the kuffar reading list – especially for dhimmwits who can’t bring themselves to believe that there could be a serious lack of compatibility between Islam and permissive western societies.

Here is a link to a write up and more video featuring Ibn Warraq: Ibn Warraq Extraordinary Apostate – via Atlas Shrugs

Celebrated Muslim apostate and Koranic scholar Ibn Warraq discussed his new book, Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said’s Orientalism at the Columbia University Bookstore.

Since 1998, Ibn Warraq has edited several books of Koranic criticism and on the origins of Islam, including Leaving Islam: Apostates Speak Out,, Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said’s Orientalism, and Which Koran? (forthcoming).

He seemed to me sympathetic to the guest. I say soft-ball.

What’s the Arabic for “Saladin of Reason”? Appropriate the enemy’s hero.

Tzetzes on March 10, 2008 at 8:51 PM

Indy Conservative on March 10, 2008 at 7:17 PM

Yes, but he wrote his first book shortly after the Rushdie Affair so the Islamaniacs should change their names — he had it first.

Right now I don’t know. I’m drunk.

Doctor told me not to abuse Camel Urine. But who cares?

Well, I don’t feel like getting into an argument about who did what first.

Let me enjoy my Camel Urine.

Can’t beat the teachings of Muhammad.

Seems that his pen name is something of a tradition…

Why does it matter what he calls himself? Don’t his actions speak volumes?

Jesus, Mary and Joseph!!!

I was joking.. Read my whole comment, not just a line.

That’s it.

You finished me.

I’m going to bed.

“Life of Mo”

Lol! Maybe Hot Air could get this project started.

Seriously, though, that was the best of this interview. “Life of Brian” made some Christians laugh, while others took offense. But I don’t remember any bombings, murders or violence. Is my memory faulty? And does anybody believe that “Life of Mo” would be welcomed with peaceful dialog?
