At
PJ Media today I make the case for Bowe Bergdahl to be tried for
treason: It is well established now that Bowe Bergdahl, the Army
sergeant for whom Barack Obama traded five top Taliban jihad commanders
to get him out of captivity in Afghanistan, is a deserter. But there are
also numerous indications that […]

No
surprise here. Barack Obama has reinforced an important lesson for the
Taliban: kidnap an American, and you have a good chance of winning
important concessions from his weak and feckless administration. This
will only ensure that there will be more kidnappings. “Taliban
Commander: More Kidnappings to Come After Bergdahl Deal,” by Aryn Baker,
Time, […]

This
is no surprise, of course. What else would he and the others do? What
was done at Guantanamo to disabuse them of their jihadist sentiments and
supposed misunderstanding of Islam? Absolutely nothing. Even though
these men are universally believed to hold to a twisted, hijacked
version of Islam, no effort was made to change […]

Muslims
commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law
certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University,
the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is
obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally
and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a […]

He
“called for tough action by governments against those who misuse
freedom of expression to attack divine religions and Prophets.” Not that
he is concerned about attacks against Judaism and Christianity, of
course. What he wants is for the West to criminalize criticism of Islam,
including counter-terror analysis of jihadists’ beliefs, motives and
goals. This […]

Muhammad
said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari
9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law
according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Yet Muslim
spokesmen such as Harris Zafar, Mustafa Akyol, Salam al-Marayati, M.
Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz (among many others) have assured us
that Islam […]

“But Tuesday,
White House National Security Council spokesperson Caitlin Hayden noted
that the Taliban was added to the list of Specially Designated Global
Terrorists by executive order in July 2002.” Thus the Obama
Administration tacitly acknowledged that it did negotiate with
terrorists to secure the release of the traitor and deserter Bowe
Bergdahl. Will there […]

One
might almost get the impression that Khamenei thinks that something in
the Qur’an leads people to hate Jews — perhaps their designation as the
worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82) or their characterization as being
accursed or Allah and condemned to living in shame and disgrace (3:112).
But we all know that the Qur’an […]

Well,
that’s obvious, isn’t it? And not only does he not have the guts — even
if he had the guts, he doesn’t have any desire to attack the people he
has courted so assiduously and appeased so enthusiastically. “‘America
cannot do a damn thing’: Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
taunts President Obama claiming […]
