The Center for National Interest in Washington, DC, recently gave Muhammad Jaham al-Kuwari, Qatar’s ambassador to the United States, a platform to spew out Al Jazeera style propaganda, specifically in the context of Islam’s “good cop/bad cop” routine. Among other pro-Brotherhood propaganda, Qatar’s ambassador stressed the need for Washington to support what he described as […]

In the newest Prager University course below, I discuss Muslim persecution of Christians. According to Prager University, “The most persecuted and victimized people in the world today are Christians in the Middle East. The perpetrators of the widespread destruction of that region’s Christian community? Islamists. Middle East expert Raymond Ibrahim lays out the grim details.”

Pamela Geller says it: “Does the Pope really think Boko Haram needs a heart-to-heart convo about tolerance? Is he nuts? Attacks, massacres, forced conversions of Christians, forced marriages and sharia: the protocol Boko Haram has been told in ghastly detail by the few fortunate survivors. Jihadists are slaughtering Christian children, kidnapping young girls and selling […]

A few days ago I posted about how “moderate” Fatah had called for Muslims to use their cars to murder Jews in jihad attacks. Now comes this billboard — and with recent attacks of this kind in Canada as well as Israel, clearly this is a currently popular means of jihad. We will be seeing […]

“While initial reporting from unnamed sources suggested Zale Thompson may have been motivated by anti-government or black power sentiments, the four-page document provides new details that speak to Thompson’s self-radicalization. They show his online obsession with the ‘message’ of terror groups like Al Qaeda and the Islamic State.” You mean, mainstream media reports were wrong, […]

UPDATE: The Globe and Mail says that Ezra Levant is wrong about this (thanks to James). We shall see if Levant comes back with more information. ———- “What kind of school board sends around a memo allowing children to be exempt from Remembrance Day ceremonies, just weeks after terrorist murders of two Canadian Forces soldiers, […]

Salafism is a movement dedicated to adhering to what the earliest Muslims, the salaf (“ancestors”) did. Thus is a movement devoted to restoring Islamic purity and strict adherence to the Qur’an and Sunnah. Will Barack Obama send John Kerry over to Saudi Arabia to explain to Sheikh ‘Aadel Al-Kalbani how he is misunderstanding Islam? “Senior […]

Malala is in favor of the Islamic ideology enough to donate $50,000 to UN schools in Gaza that Hamas uses for its jihad against Israel, but that isn’t good enough for the All Pakistan Private Schools Federation. This story shows the cognitive dissonance between the non-Muslim West’s fantasy-based view of Islam and the reality on […]

“We are troubled by the fact that among the NGOs and activists invited to join the coalition are a number of Islamist and pro-Jihadi groups whose agenda has been and continues to be hostile to the freedom and survival of Christian and other minorities in the Middle East.” Bravo. It is heartening to see some […]

How very odd: the Islamic State, as all our leaders assure us, has nothing to do with Islam. And yet its central claim is that it has reestablished the caliphate, and somehow other Muslims outside the Islamic State seem to have the same aspiration. Why so many misunderstanders of Islam? Is John Kerry working on […]

Oh, the ingratitude! Cameron and May clearly aren’t acting quickly enough to appease and accommodate Islamic supremacists, and ban all criticism of Sharia! Faster, faster! Your masters are not pleased! “Terror attack is ‘almost inevitable’ warn security chiefs as police and MI5 reveal they’ve foiled three plots in recent months,” by Damien Gayle, Daily Mail, […]

“Asian youths” is British media Newspeak for Muslims. Will British authorities seek out this Muslim gang and shower money and special privileges upon its members, in an attempt to redress their grievances? “Gang rips medals from army veteran on his way to Remembrance Sunday service,” the Telegraph, November 11, 2014 An elderly former soldier had […]

On Sunday, November 9, I had the honor of speaking at the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ Veterans’ Day Ceremonies in Sierra Madre, California. Pictured is the Veterans Wall in Sierra Madre’s Memorial Park, where the event was held. Hard-Left California Representative Judy Chu was on hand to give awards to several of the veterans, and […]

Veterans’ Day is November 11 because on November 11, 1918, the Armistice between the Allies and the Central Powers took effect. World War I had been more peculiar, unnecessary and pointless than most wars, but from it comes many lingering features of the American and international political landscape: the messianic idea of “making the world […]

Important truths enunciated by a courageous Turkish journalist. “The West’s Dangerous Enchantment with Islam: Muslim Women Thrown ‘Under the Bus,'” by Uzay Bulut, Gatestone Institute, November 9, 2014: The loudest voices in the West now seem to come from many progressives who say that criticizing of Islam is racist, intolerant, bigoted and Islamophobic. Injustices, they […]
