The
airstrikes haven’t stopped the Islamic State. What a surprise. “Islamic
State withstands bombing campaign, plots Baghdad invasion,” by Rowan
Scarborough, The Washington Times, October 5, 2014: The Islamic State
holds just about the same number of towns in Iraq today as it did two
months ago, when the U.S. began a bombing campaign to […]

They
don’t mean that as a positive thing, but if they had any sense, they
would. This is a few days old, but since it contains numerous Leftist
assumptions about the jihad threat and the proper response to it, it is
well worth examining closely: “We Are All Pamela Geller,” by Jay
Michaelson, Jewish Daily […]

This
is how it goes in America today: a Muslim screaming what were reported
as “Islamic phrases” beheads one woman and is in the process of
beheading another before he is stopped. The beheader’s Facebook page
shows his allegiance to the Islamic State, Osama bin Laden, the Taliban,
etc. A former member of his mosque […]

Everyone
knows that the foes of the Islamic State are all moderates, right? Good
thing we have moderates like this on our side, eh? Just not all that
close, please! “Kurdish female fighter in suicide attack on Isil amid
fighting for key Syria town,” AFP, October 5, 2014 (thanks to Maxwell): A

“Officers
who searched the grounded suspects found images of beheadings…” For
like so many other jihadis, they love death. “Melbourne Airport terror
swoops,” by Ellen Whinnett, James Dowling and Jon Kaila, Herald Sun, October 6, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth): In an incident at Melbourne Airport on August 27, five people were offloaded from a flight […]

He
calls on Muslims to “strike terror from within.” To “strike terror” is a
Qur’anic imperative: “Against them make ready your strength to the
utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into
(the hearts of) the enemies, of God and your enemies…” (Qur’an 8:60).
Note that he also says that the […]

“We
so relieved, so happy that she has not gone abroad,” says her mother,
and so now Assia Saidi is safely still in France instead of joining the
jihad in Syria. What could possibly go wrong? Neither al-Qaeda nor any
other jihadist group ever had the appeal that the Islamic State has for
young Muslims […]

He
has studied the Qur’an and speaks about waging jihad for Allah and
thereby earning a place in Paradise. Obama, John Kerry, David Cameron
and others say that his actions have nothing to do with Islam or jihad.
The cognitive dissonance is massive, and growing. “‘I Am Only Looking Up
to Paradise,'” by Loubna Mrie, […]
