They
entered the town and started “shooting people.” This is utter
barbarism, but remember: opposing it makes you just as much of an
“extremist” as the perpetrators of this savagery. “‘Islamists’ attack
Kenyan coastal town,” BBC, June 15, 2014 (thanks to King Dave):
Suspected Islamist militants have attacked hotels and a police station
in the […]

Remember:
the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi, has a doctorate in Islamic studies. Yet somehow in all that
study of Islam he didn’t see anything forbidding the mass murder of
those considered to be enemies of Islam. Could it be because of Qur’an
passages like this? “Indeed, the […]

Just
in case the five jihadis traded for Bowe Bergdahl weren’t enough,
Barack Obama has released twelve more. What could possibly go wrong? Ten
of them are Pakistanis, and “Pakistani officials have said that
returned detainees would be kept under surveillance to make sure they
had no militant links.” We all know that Pakistani authorities […]

The
Muslim Brotherhood may be out of power, but clearly numerous Egyptians
share their sensibilities. This case is reminiscent of the many
blasphemy cases in Pakistan that were clearly exercises in harassing and
intimidating that country’s non-Muslims. The al-Sisi government would
do well to quash such prosecutions, but if it did, it might end up […]

The
embassy is going to remain open, however. This is, then, another
equivocal half-measure from Obama. If Sunni jihadists enter Baghdad,
Americans may end up wishing he had evacuated the embassy entirely. As
it is, he is hedging his bets. In any case, even a partial evacuation of
this massively expensive embassy, which was supposed […]

Probably
the Rev. Miller and other First Presbyterian Church officials had no
idea that they would be endangering this man by announcing his baptism,
because they had no idea that Islam has a death penalty for apostasy,
because if they had heard about Sharia penalty for apostasy at all, they
had been assured that there […]

In
Aleteia I explode the ridiculous myth propagated by Hamas-linked CAIR
and the Washington Post, that the media designates only Muslims as
terrorists. In a Washington Post piece entitled, “In the news media, are
Muslims the only ‘terrorists’?” Paul Farhi complains that killers Jerad
and Amanda Miller and other right-wing extremists have not been labeled
[…]

Their
failure indicated to him that they were Alawites, and so, despite their
pleas that they were just trying to make a living driving trucks
through territory controlled by ISIS, he had them murdered. And he
believed that in doing so, he was offering service to his god. In fact,
his religion inspires, motivates, and […]

In
any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized
man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad. Imagine the topsy-turviness of the
world, that when Pamela Geller and I ran the ad above, we were
excoriated for “hatred” and “bigotry.” But celebrating the kidnapping of
children is savagery. The ad just told the truth. […]

No
one knows how many recruiters for jihad terror there actually are in
Europe. No one knows what is being taught in the mosques, and what kind
of recruiting is going on in Muslim communities. To inquire about such
matters would be “Islamophobic.” “ISIS Terrorist Recruiter Nabbed in
Germany,” Arutz Sheva, June 15, 2014: Germany’s […]
