It
will be interesting to see how authorities attempt to grant Hiva
Alizadeh’s request. Will they send John Kerry or Fr. Dwight Longenecker
to his prison cell to teach him about the true, peaceful teachings of
Islam? De-radicalization programs have spectacularly failed in Saudi
Arabia and Indonesia. How will Canadian authorities make them work for
[…]

Victimhood-mongering
on steroids: “We ask Allah to destroy those who plot against us.”
Destroy! Via Facebook (thanks to Kenneth): Ustadh Mohammed Junaid Thorne
6 hours ago Once again, we wake up to the sad news of our innocent
Muslim brothers being arrested by the Australian authorities, their
families being terrorized, their houses being raided, their […]

Large-scale
counterterror raids in Australia. A beheading plot uncovered, and
probably more plots were in the offing as well. And so the Muslim
victimhood industry swings into action: “Police searching for material
linked to Islamic State, al-Qaeda, says man targeted,” by Emma
Partridge, Sydney Morning Herald, September 18, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth): A man targeted […]

“When
you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4). Not that
that means “when you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks.” Only
greasy Islamophobes would think such a thing. More on this story.

person off Sydney street,” Yahoo 7 News, September 18, 2014: EXCLUSIVE: […]

“It
is believed that a terrorist network had been planning to carry out a
series of attacks in Australia.” This network was apparently connected
to the Islamic State — again illustrating the appeal of the caliphate to
so many young Muslims worldwide. “ASIO and hundreds of police raid
Sydney and Brisbane homes in biggest counter-terrorism […]

This
kind of thing is going to become ever more common, not just in
Australia but in Britain, France, Germany and the United States. The
suicidal foolhardiness of the architects of the current hear-no-evil
see-no-evil speak-no-evil policies toward Islam will before too long be
abundantly evident to everyone. “Sydney church our Lady of Lebanon
targeted […]

Breitbart
reported last week that “the US-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA), Al Nusra
Front, and the Islamic State have paired together in order to fight
President Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian Armed Forces, according to statements
from multiple commanders from within the FSA. ‘We are collaborating
with the Islamic State and the Nusra Front by attacking the […]

We’re
much more enlightened here in the U.S. No one would get a death
sentence here for “insulting the Prophet.” Oh, no. All someone who was
deemed to have insulted Muhammad here would get would be charges of
“hatred,” “bigotry” and “Islamophobia,” and vitriolic attacks from the
mainstream media and groups like the Southern Poverty […]

Netanyahu
doesn’t seem to have affirmed that the Islamic State had nothing to do
with Islam, or indulged in any other politically correct nonsense. If
only we had a President of the United States with this much clarity and
moral courage. And there’s also a master race in the master faith
(thanks to Axel). “Netanyahu: […]

So
who does? Apparently he expects the friends and allies of the Islamic
State to fight against the Islamic State. “Obama reaffirms opposition to
US combat in Iraq,” by Jim Kuhnhenn, Associated Press, September 17,
2014: TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — President Barack Obama reaffirmed Wednesday that he does not intend to send U.S. troops into […]

Today
I was on Newsmax TV’s MidPoint with Ed Berliner, discussing the
domestic threat from Islamic jihadists — a threat that law enforcement
officials are ill-equipped to deal with because of the Obama
Administration’s politically correct denial of the reality of jihad.

All
the rush by Western leaders to condemn the Islamic State and pronounce
it un-Islamic overlooks the very real appeal that it has for many
Muslims worldwide, because of its claim to reconstitute the caliphate.
Restoring the caliphate is a primary goal of every jihad group in the
world. Glibly dismissing the Islamic State as […]

Daesh
is just the Arabic acronym (not “loose acronym”) for “Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant,” so this is just camouflage. Fabius just wants to
use some name that doesn’t include “Islamic” in it, so that he can
continue to pretend that what the Islamic State does has nothing to do
with Islam. Unfortunately, […]

In
rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey, where Mein Kampf is a perennial
bestseller, the truths about the Holocaust communicated by this
magnificent and harrowing film must not be told. To tell them would be
“Islamophobic.” “Turkish Government Fines Kurdish Channel For Showing

Turkish State Council for […]

“Bangladesh’s highest court on Wednesday
commuted the death sentence on a top Islamic preacher, triggering angry
protests by both his Islamist supporters and secular opponents and
clashes with police.” Why are his “Islamist supporters” rioting when his
death sentence was just commuted? Because they don’t think he should
have been convicted of anything at all. […]

Meanwhile,
what Obama wants to do in order to save the world from the Islamic
State is arm the Free Syrian Army. In July 2013, Free Syrian Army
fighters entered the Christian village of Oum Sharshouh and began
burning down houses and terrorizing the population, forcing 250
Christian families to flee the area. Worthy News […]
