“His
voice breaking with emotion, Haines read out a passage from the Koran
saying: ‘Since good and evil cannot be equal, repel thou evil with
something that is better.'” That’s Qur’an 41:34. Haines did not quote
this passage: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” That’s
Qur’an 47:4. “Murdered aid worker’s brother says Islam […] (refusal to face reality is abominable)

Western
leaders are so anxious to dissociate the Islamic State from Islam
because they want to reassure their non-Muslim citizens that the Muslims
they have brought to their countries in ever-increasing numbers will
never act the way the Islamic State is acting. One problem with this is
that while Muslim leaders in the West are […]

This
savage also murdered four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels.
Clearly a murderous psychopath will find a belief system that encourages
and justifies violence attractive. “French journalist tells of being
tortured in Syria by Islamic terrorist,” by Matthew Campbell, The Times,
September 15, 2014 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur): A FRENCH journalist who […]

Now
wait a minute. We are constantly assured by the most respected, most
tenured, most consulted analysts that young Muslims turn to jihad
because they are alienated, not assimilated. They are victims of
discrimination and ghettoization in their home countries, and so they
become susceptible to “radicalization.” But this young jihadi in Italy,
according to […]

“Using
the group’s preferred name could help it radicalise yet more Britons,
the signatories wrote.” So apparently they would have us believe that
David Cameron calling the Islamic State “the Islamic State” will make
young Muslims in Britain think that it is an Islamic State, and that
they must go wage jihad on its behalf. […]

The
Islamic State has much more appeal for Muslims in the West than
al-Qaeda and other jihad terror groups ever had. This is an indication
of the power of the idea of the caliphate, and of the fact that many
Muslims in the West support the Islamic State despite the condemnations
of it from Muslim […]

Increasing
violence against Jews worldwide. Increasingly open calls for jihad and
genocide. Antisemitism is being normalized at a rate not seen since the
heyday of Nazi Germany — courtesy of “Palestinian” jihad propaganda.

and Ari Soffer, Arutz Sheva, September 9, 2014 (thanks to Daniel
Greenfield): […]

The
Islamic State will not succeed in advancing this far, of course. But
they will murder many people as they try. “The Structure of the Islamic
State (ISIS),” by Col. (ret.) Dr. Jacques Neriah, Jerusalem Center for
Public Affairs, September 8, 2014 (thanks to Victor): Much has been
written and said about the Islamic State […]

Of
course, it does have to do with a religion: members of a particular
religious group are plotting violence against those who are not members
of the group, and pointing to the religion’s teachings as their
motivation and justification for that violence. Instead of confronting
that, Abbott, like Barack Obama and David Cameron, has preferred […]

Bilal
Philips has gained controversy for advocating death for homosexuals.
According to the National Post, he also “defends child marriages, wife
beating, polygamy and killing apostates.” See my article, John Coltrane
and Bilal Philips: Two Converts’ Paths, for more. What will Bilal
Philips do once back in Canada? More of the same. “Philippines deports
Canadian […]

Nothing
to be concerned about. It’s just a tiny minority of leprechauns
extremists. And remember: they have nothing whatsoever to do with Islam.

The
whole world rushes to condemn the Islamic State — and yet, when it
comes to doing something effective to stop it, suddenly it becomes more
difficult. And the Obama administration’s incoherence regarding the
anti-Assad forces in Syria — arbitrarily designating some jihadis as
“moderate” and arming them to fight those with whom they’re actually […]
