Fernando Reinares, director of the Program on Global Terrorism at Spain's Elcano Royal Institute, says he didn't expect the outcome. "The police and judicial investigations had gathered abundant evidence to condemn some of those, like Osman and [Hassan] el Haski, who were not convicted or who received light sentences," he says...

Fundamentalism and religious extremism—regardless of the specific faith that they spring from—have the potential to be oppressive and harmful. Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, however, does not only condemn Islamic fundamentalists, it also launches an attack on Islam itself by conflating those who pervert Islam to excuse unspeakable acts of violence with the faith on the whole. TAP’s Web site makes a host of sweeping generalizations, over-dramatizations, and mis-interpretations of Islam. From the suggested film...
