“A
still-classified State Department e-mail says that one of the first
responses from the White House to the Benghazi attack was to contact
YouTube to warn of the ‘ramifications’ of allowing the posting of an
anti-Islamic video.” The White House says this confirms their version of
events, but Issa says: “The e-mail shows the White […]

In
FrontPage today I discuss the ill winds blowing as Pope Francis
prepares to visit “the state of Palestine”: “The Che Guevara of the
Palestinians” is set to visit Palestinian Authority-controlled Judea and
Samaria next week, beginning in Bethlehem, and the city of Jesus’s
birth is already in high excitement. The bearer of that illustrious […]

We
are constantly told that all Muslims in the West are moderate, and that
only greasy Islamophobes would dare to suggest that there should be any
surveillance of mosques and Muslim gatherings such as the New York
Police Department used to conduct. Why should mosques be under any more
surveillance than the local Methodist church, […]

“He
comes from a culture where he thinks this is appropriate conduct, where
he can hit his wife,” said defense attorney Julie Clark. “He culturally
believed he had the right to hit his wife and discipline his wife.” Not
just culturally, but religiously: “Men are the managers of the affairs
of women for that God […]

Apparently
the Merah family didn’t have just one member with jihad sentiments. How
many other families like the Merahs are there in France, even among
those whom the politically correct assume to be “moderates”? Or is that
very question “Islamophobic”? “Militant’s sister targeted in French
terror probe,” Associated Press, May 22, 2014 (thanks to Thomas […]

This
move is an absolute masterpiece of style over substance. The girls were
not from Chad, but from Nigeria. Does the U.S. government have any
reason to believe that they are now in Chad? No, this isn’t based on any
new intelligence. These 80 troops will fly reconnaissance missions to
look for the girls. But […]

Fuad
Shongole also says: “America is waging a war in the Horn of Africa
because they are responsive to the Quran verses saying that the Islamic
flag will fly in every corner of the world.” What? There are Qur’an
verses saying that the Islamic flag will fly in every corner of the
world? Ibrahim Hooper, […]

Islamic
apologists in the West routinely claim that Muhammad did not marry a
child and that child marriage is not permitted in Islam, but actually,
few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the
permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that
Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and
[…]

“These
relatively sophisticated devices would have been difficult for the
Tsarnaevs to fabricate successfully without training or assistance from
others.” What’s more, they were likely assembling the material for these
bombs after the Russians notified the FBI that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a
jihad terrorist. Yet it didn’t seem to occur to anyone in the clueless
[…]

Representatives
Keith Ellison (D-MN) and André Carson (D-IN), the nation’s two Muslim
Congressmen, and a host of Muslim leaders, many with ties to Hamas and
the Muslim Brotherhood, have published an open letter condemning Boko
Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, as
un-Islamic, and calling upon the group’s leader, […]

Dateline
Xinjiang, May 22, 2014: Jihad Shifting Focus to Developing Markets:
“The occasional 9/11 or 7/7 is good PR, but the real growth potential is
in the Mideast, Africa and Asia: no red tape and no global outrage. A
hashtag or two against us, an article from Reuters or AP explaining that
we’re doing all […]
