“We believe the West Bank, too, should be armed just like Gaza…” This will come, if Barack Obama and John Kerry get their way. “Iran Calls on West Bank Palestinians to Take Up Arms Against Israel, Encourages Violence,” by Joshua Levitt, Algemeiner, August 11, 2014: Brigadier General Massoud Jazzayeri, Deputy Chief of Staff of the […]

This makes sense. After all, the threat of terrorism is a thing of the past. There are no viable terror threats today. As Barack Obama said in June, “The world is less violent than it has ever been.” Why would the U.S. need a counter-terrorism institute in these calm, peaceful times? “Oklahoma Counter-Terrorism Institute To […]

Robin Harris argues here for increased U.S. and U.K. military action, combined with active aid to trustworthy local factions. The problem with this is that no local factions favor pluralism and Western-style republican rule. Massive military intervention would just be a holding action postponing the fighting of various Sunni and Shi’ite factions, as it was […]

As far as the mainstream media is concerned, this doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is that Barack Obama is made to appear as if he is doing something for the Yazidis and against the Islamic State. That he actually do something effective is not required. “Iraq crisis: ‘It is death valley. Up to […]

Not to worry: the two boys will “receive the necessary training before being sent to the battlefield.” And they certainly have their father’s consent to engage in jihad activity. So what are you concerned about, you ethnocentric Islamophobe? Affirm multiculturalism! “Saudi father smuggles sons to Syria, joins ISIS,” Al Arabiya, August 11, 2014: A Saudi […]

Do any mosques or Islamic schools in the United States have programs to teach converts to Islam why they should reject the Islamic State and embrace American secularism and pluralism? Why, no, nary a one has such a program. But authorities are unconcerned. They know it’s a Religion of Peace, and that only greasy Islamophobes […]

It is astonishing that the Trademark Office would reject our trademark because the concept of resisting Islamization is supposedly demeaning to Muslims, when millions of Muslims in Egypt last year successfully stood up against Islamization and threw off the Muslim Brotherhood regime. The mainstream media regularly referred to their resisting Islamization, only considering the term […]

Here is the full interview. Some have suggested that this is satire, and that the person being interviewed is not actually Omar al-Shishani. That may be, but if so, the satirist has a comprehensive knowledge of the Islamic State’s beliefs, motives and goals — a better knowledge, in fact, than that of most Western intelligence […]

Once again the mainstream media insults a convert to Islam by refusing to refer to him by his Muslim name — an indignity the media would never dream of according to Muhammad Ali or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But when a Muslim plots evil in the name of Islam, suddenly the media doesn’t quite notice his Islamic […]

Why Carlsberg? Probably because it is a Danish firm, and it was in Denmark that those infamous cartoons of Muhammad were published a few years ago. To the Islamic State, that’s blasphemy, and blasphemers must be murdered. Note also that the reach of the Islamic State appears to go well beyond Iraq and Syria. “Isis […]

Just days ago, Barack Obama claimed that Mahmoud Abbas was “sincere in his desire for peace.” Yet Abbas is the head of Fatah. Surely the President couldn’t be wrong, or ignoring the facts about this, could he? “Fatah brags it killed 11,000 Israelis,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, August 10, 2014: Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah […]

One might have thought that all these moderate Muslim leaders would have applauded General Leahy’s remarks and assured the Australian government that they shared Leahy’s determination to defend freedom against these Muslims who ostensibly misunderstand and misapply their religion. Instead, they’re complaining about “right-wing extremism” and “bigotry,” and complaining that resistance to jihad will only […]

The  Qur’an says that “there is no compulsion in religion,” (2:256), but what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni […]
