Where
did Faruq learn about Islam? Are law enforcement officials going to
wave away such questions by saying yet again that he was “radicalized”
on the Internet? Faruq is clearly a convert to Islam. Converts to Islam
seem to be especially susceptible to jihadist appeals. What are U.S.
Muslim organizations doing to prevent this? Why, […]

Let’s
see: we know that it couldn’t be that the jihadis think that Islamic
texts and teachings justify violence and warfare against unbelievers
(and apostates and heretics). And we know it couldn’t be that Sunnis in
Iraq were never going to acquiesce to Shi’ite rule, and that ultimately
their resentments boiled over into all-out jihad. […]

On
Twitter today, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is heavily
promoting the hashtag “#CalamityWillBefallUS.” The account from which
these are taken is “Prophet’s Khilafa,” which bills itself thusly: “This
account is dedicated to spreading the #NEWS of

If
the British government won’t enforce Sharia, some Muslims are all too
willing to enforce it themselves. But they need to be patient. The way
things are going, the British government will be doing this sort of work
before too long. “Muslim man murders pregnant prostitute because she
was working near a mosque,” by Julian […]

This
afternoon I was on Ed Berliner’s Midpoint on Newsmax TV, discussing the
jihad in Iraq and Syria and what the U.S. can and cannot, and should
and shouldn’t, do about it.

There
should indeed be no demonization of Muslims in Scotland, and the
actions of one individual should indeed not reflect upon an entire
community. The statements by Salmond and Stewart, however, reflect the
success of the years-long campaign by Muslim groups in the West to
portray themselves as victims of counter-terror efforts. The demand that
[…]

He
“never, ever” was radical but he read the Qur’an and believed it, and
there was no program at his mosque or any other mosque designed to teach
young Muslims why the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’s
understanding of Islam was wrong, despite the fact that Muslims in the
West say they reject […]

We’re
constantly told that Muslims in the West abhor jihad terrorism and
reject the understanding of Islam that gives rise to it. Yet jihad
terrorists base their appeal to peaceful Muslims on teachings of the
Qur’an and Sunnah. And the jihad that is raging now in Iraq and Syria is
drawing many Muslims from Western […]

He
was charged. They weren’t. He is, quite rightly, claiming
discrimination. “Mr. Scissons sold them live sheep — what they choose to
do with them after that point is really up to them.” So why weren’t the
Muslims who actually illegally slaughtered the sheep charged? Would
that have offended the multicultural sensibilities of Canadian
authorities? […]

The
world will little note nor long remember the suffering of Christians in
Iraq or other Muslim countries. As long as no “Islamophobia” is being
committed, all is well. “50,000 Assyrians Flee Fighting in North Iraq,”
AINA, June 16, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace) (AINA) — Nearly
all of the population of Qaraqosh, […]

In
FrontPage today I discuss the latest in willful ignorance. The denial
of the reality of jihad is thicker than ever, even as jihadis advance
around the world. And it endangers us all. Former CIA officer John
Maguire revealed this week that the CIA was blindsided by the rise of
the Islamic State of Iraq and the […]

A
message apparently from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
(thanks to Jenan Moussa). I have no information about its derivation or
authenticity, but it doesn’t say anything that Islamic jihadists haven’t
said before. 1 إن قصفت أمريكا العراق فهذا يعني أن كل مواطن أمريكي هدف
مشروع لنا . If the United States […]

“‘They
are not excused for being non-Muslim,’ it said, adding that ‘anyone
living in this country should follow the laws of the Kingdom, including
respecting religious sentiments.’” When Jews or Christians fast, they do
not demand that others around them also fast, or refrain from eating in
their presence. This is, in other words, a […]

One
would hope that even in this age of Obama, Meriam Ibrahim can safely
get out of Sudan now that she is in the US Embassy. Still, free people
and those who oppose Sharia can breathe easy only when she is out of the
country. “Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim ‘safe and well’ in US embassy,”
