This
is why we must fight the Islamic State: so that people won’t
misunderstand Islam. Because as Kerry’s boss would say, the future must
not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. “Remarks on the
Formation of the Iraqi Government,” remarks by John Kerry, September 8,
2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): As we […]

The
Rev. Professor David Thomas is a professor of Christianity and Islam at
the University of Birmingham. Here he writes a very strange article.
Most of it is a brief and reasonably accurate history of the caliphate,
in which he notes that in declaring a caliphate, the Islamic State has
“reverted to a model that […]

When
two staunch foes of Israel like Obama and Erdogan discuss combating
anti-Semitism, they are either performing for the cameras or mean that
they need to put yet more pressure on Israel. For in the view of
Leftists and Islamic supremacists, if there is any anti-Semitism, it is
because of the alleged misdeeds of Israel. […]

Obama
envisions the Free Syrian Army as providing combat troops to fight the
Islamic State. But the Free Syrian Army is either giving its arms to the
Islamic State, or cannot prevent it from capturing them. “Islamic State
fighters using US arms – Report,” AFP, September 8, 2014 (thanks to
Twostellas): Islamic State fighters appear […]

The
learned analysts know that you cannot look at the scriptures of a
religion in order to understand that religion. After all, you can find
violent passages in all scriptures, right? And all scriptures are
subject to interpretation and reinterpretation, emphasis and
de-emphasis, etc. Religions, we are told, are what their believers make
them to […]

He
says that “these young people do not see themselves as being part of
this [Western] society: they were not brought up to blend in in a
positive way.” Whose fault is that? Imams all over Europe preach against
assimilation and integration. Then he adds: “There is also some
discrimination and indirect persecution against Islam […]

Was
it the Islamic State? Was it the Shi’ites? That is as yet unclear. The
only thing we do know is that the attacker thought he was claiming
Allah’s promise of Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah
(9:111). But of course, it would be “Islamophobic” to discuss that, and
how to […]

This
ridiculous situation points up again how drastically the U.S. needs to
reconfigure its alliances in light of the global jihad. The old Cold War
arrangements simply don’t make any sense today, and lead to this: NATO
promising to defend Turkey against the Islamic State that exists today
in no small degree because of Turkish […]

Mohamed
Elibiary, who believes that the U.S. is an Islamic country and that the
return of the caliphate is “inevitable,” has left the Homeland Security
Advisory Council. He did not say why he was leaving. There have been
questions about Mohamed Elibiary’s true allegiances for years. For quite
some time, his twitter profile incorporated the […]

These
are not ranked in any particular order, and there are many other
culprits besides these. But when Britain completes its descent into
madness, these people can stand up and take a bow. My latest at PJ
Media: With 600 Muslims from the United Kingdom now making up over
twenty-five percent of the foreign jihadists […]
