“The
US Defense Security Cooperation Agency said that ‘the U.S. State
Department agreed to sell Iraq five thousand Hellfire missiles to help
it in the war against Jihadists.’” What’s that you say, US Defense
Security Cooperation Agency? “Jihadists”? Don’t you know that CIA
director John Brennan has declared that jihad is a positive concept, and
[…]

It
is hard, and horrifying, to imagine how Hadiza Musa was compelled to
become a jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber. In any case, it is still more
jihadist savagery — while the world rains condemnations upon Israel.
“10-year-old female suicide bomber, two others arrested in Katsina,” by
Stella Omona and Onoja Audu, Daily Independent, July 30, 2014: […]

Hamas
blames the IDF, of course, and so does the international media. But now
this reporter, out of Gaza and safe from what he tellingly refers to as
“Hamas retaliation,” confirms the Israeli account. The propaganda
facade is broken yet again. “Italian Reporter Reveals Hamas Cover-Up
Over Misfired Rockets,” by Ari Soffer, Arutz Sheva, July […]

The
international media will probably report this as a craven Israeli
assault on a health clinic. In reality, the UNRWA clinic housed the
opening of a jihad weapons smuggling tunnel. Here again, we see the UN
being used by the jihadis — did UN officials know about this? This makes
three UN schools and a […]

Europe
(and the U.S.) are financing al-Qaeda’s jihad through ransom payments.
That’s why we continue to see kidnappings of Westerners, and these
kidnappings will continue into the indefinite future, because for the
jihadists, they are lucrative. “Paying Ransoms, Europe Bankrolls Qaeda
Terror,” by Rukmini Callimachi, New York Times, July 29, 2014 (thanks to
Pamela Geller): […]

Today
on Newsmax TV’s Midpoint, Pamela Geller debated Catherine Shakam of
Iran’s state-controlled Press TV. It was a battle of truth vs.
“Palestinian” jihad propaganda. Truth, as always, prevails, as it does
whenever it gets a fair airing. Don’t miss this one.

“A
man identified as Shamim, 50, was beaten to death in Begunai, a village
in Lakhai upazila, when followers of the Union Parisad’s former
chairman Morshed Kamal Moshahid and a former member clashed because
someone who did not keep fast came to attend Eid prayers.” It doesn’t
seem, based on how this is worded, that […]

The
age-old anti-Semitic blood libel makes yet another appearance to
justify Hamas’s targeting of innocent Israeli civilians and threats of a
new genocide of the Jews. But the international media is too busy
presenting Hamas press releases as news stories to take any notice. “Top
Hamas Official Osama Hamdan: Jews Use Blood for Passover Matzos,” […]

Ruqiya Farah Yarow is a name in this news story. By this time tomorrow,
she will be forgotten. And that is telling. Muslims in the West claim
to stand for religious freedom — the freedom to wear the veil. They even
held World Hijab Day to proclaim and celebrate that freedom. Barack
Obama has congratulated himself […]

Yet
another open call for genocide of the Jews, airing on Hamas’s TV
channel. Where is the international media? Too busy repeating Hamas
propaganda to take any notice. “Hamas Sermon from the Gaza Strip: Our
Doctrine Entails Exterminating the Jews,” MEMRI, July 25, 2014: Al-Aqsa
TV, the Hamas TV channel, aired on Friday, July 25, […]

This
article decries the conflation of Arabs and Muslims and yet aids and
abets it by lumping Arabs and Muslims together in the headline and
throughout the piece. Yet it also correctly notes that most Arabs in the
U.S. are not Muslims and most Muslims worldwide are not Arabs. Bringing
Arabs into the poll at […]

And
French authorities can do nothing: “According to Le Figaro,
distributors have ignored petitions and criticism and the authorities
have no legal recourse to impose a ban on them.” Yet the call for jihad
is an open call for the destruction of the French Republic and its
replacement by a very different governmental and societal […]

Increasing
violence against Jews worldwide. Increasingly open calls for jihad and
genocide. Islamic jihadis can see that Western authorities are weak,
confused, compromised, or all of the above. And they are taking full
advantage of the situation. “German police arrest 18-year-old after
attack on synagogue,” Reuters, July 29, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
BERLIN: German […]

Western
reporters know this, but don’t give it much attention. Why not? Why,
that might offend Hamas, as it would reinforce Israeli claims that
they’re deliberately trying to provoke civilian casualties. And we can’t
have that, now, can we? “Top Secret Hamas Command Bunker in Gaza
Revealed,” Tablet, July 29, 2014: The idea that one […]

Obama
recently praised the “contributions of Muslim Americans to building the
very fabric of our nation.” In FrontPage today I try to find some. In
his message to Muslims on their holiday Eid al-Fitr, issued Sunday, Barack Obama asserted that “Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building […]

Why
would the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad,
aka Boko Haram, target mosques? Aren’t the mosques full of Muslims?
Yes, but the wrong kind of Muslims. “Suicide bombers kill at least six
in Nigeria mosques,” AFP, July 29, 2014: Suicide bombers attacked two
mosques in northeast Nigeria’s Yobe state […]

Firasat
has been sent back to Spain, where he faces deportation to Pakistan. In
Pakistan, he would certainly be killed. “The Spanish Supreme Court has
ruled that Firasat should be expelled from the country, being a security
threat.” But it is not actually Imran Firasat who is the security
threat; it is the Muslims who […]

On
this week’s Glazov Gang, the Great Glazov was joined by Dr. Anna

Deptartment of Political Studies at the University of Bar Ilan in
Israel. Her latest book is Death Orders: […]

PJ
Media has put together an extraordinarily powerful and informative
resource here. No one who goes through this material with an open mind
will be able to support the “Palestinians.” A small excerpt with
background: Although in 2005 Israel gave up Gaza to the Palestinians in a
naive “land for peace” unilateral withdrawal, the result […]
