Robert Spencer in FP: Pelosi to Name Muslim Brotherhood-linked Congressman to House Intel Committee
Chronicling more insanity over at FrontPage: Politico reported Tuesday that Nancy Pelosi told a “closed-door meeting” that she was planning in the “coming days” to name the nation’s second Muslim Congressman, Rep. AndrĂ© Carson (D-IN), to the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Carson already has entrĂ©e to highly sensitive areas. He is currently a member […]

Freed Gitmo detainee opens Islamic State base in Afghanistan
And Obama just keeps freeing more. These men are seasoned, trained, battle-hardened jihadis. What are they going to do, open a deli? “Freed Gitmo Captive Opens ISIS Base in Afghanistan,” Judicial Watch, January 15, 2015: As President Obama frees droves of terrorists—including five Yemenis this week—from the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo news reports confirm […]

Vox claims no threats for posting Charlie Hebdo toons, many for covering “Islamophobia”
This is how the Leftist media tries to hijack the narrative and fool people into ignorance and complacency about the jihad threat. “The possibility of radical Islamist threats against American outlets has received wide attention; there are media stories, solidarity rallies, and meetings of government officials….Meanwhile, the demonstrable and ongoing threats from anti-Muslim extremists — […]

Duke cancels plan for Muslim call to prayer from chapel tower
The Hamas-linked terror organization known as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will trumpet this as a victory for “Islamophobia,” and fundraise off it. But it is actually a victory for common sense, as explained here. “Duke Cancels Plan for Muslim Call to Prayer From Tower,” by Jonathan Drew, Associated Press, January 15, 2015: Duke […]

“We’ve averted a Belgian Charlie Hebdo”: Muslims fire on police
The latest Islamic State video threatened more jihad mass murder attacks — in Belgium, all of Europe, and America. More on this story. “Suspected Jihadists Killed In Belgium Raid,” Sky News, January 15, 2015: Belgian police have have killed two men in a shootout – foiling a major terror attack in the country, according to […]

Father of Muslim who plotted to bomb US Capitol says son is “peace-loving momma’s boy” set up by FBI
Here we go again. It is by now a staple of the Leftist/Islamic supremacist narrative that the FBI, to justify its huge counter-terror budget, goes around trumping up jihad terror plots by coaxing impressionable young Muslims into misunderstanding their religion and believing that it enjoins violence against unbelievers. The big problem with this oft-repeated claim […]

Pakistan: Muslims demand murder of Charlie Hebdo staff for committing “worst act of terrorism” by drawing Muhammad
This is one side of the assault on the freedom of speech, which is the foundation of a free society. The other side are the cool, measured calls from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation for the criminalization of “incitement to religious hatred” and the like. The goal is the same for both initiatives: to intimidate […]

Belgian public TV says three dead in police counter-terrorism raid in Verviers
No details yet, but it is unlikely that this was a raid on “right-wing extremists.” Europe is under siege, while our leaders temporize and dissemble and insist that there is no problem. “Belgian public TV says three dead in police counter-terrorism raid in Verviers,” Al Arabiya, January 15, 2015: Belgian public TV says three dead […]

Oregon: Muslim repeatedly threatens deli owner: “You Israeli … I’ll blow up your store in the name of Allah!”
“I will blow up your store…I’m going to send my guys to shoot up your store….You Israeli … I’ll blow up your store in the name of Allah!…We take care of people like you.” What will solve this problem is an end to the illegal occupation of Ira’s Deli, and its voluntary cession of half […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: French PM Declares War on ‘Radical Islam’
In FrontPage I discuss what may be a crack in the edifice: It was an extraordinary breaking of ranks. For years now, since 9/11 and before, Western leaders from all points of the political spectrum have unanimously maintained that Islam was a Religion of Peace and that Islamic jihad terrorists were a tiny minority of […]

Duke University: Muslim Brotherhood group to chant Muslim call to prayer over loudspeakers weekly
This “connects the university to national trends in religious accommodation.” Indeed it does, but those trends all go in one direction only: when will we hear church bells ringing from Muslim universities, as a gesture of religious pluralism? And how appropriate is it to broadcast “Allahu akbar” over loudspeakers on the Duke campus, when on […]

Pope Francis: “You can’t make a toy out of the religions of others…In freedom of expression there are limits”
The Pope is speaking generally of religions here, but clearly he is only talking about one religion, and not his own. For those who insult the Pope’s religion, and there are many, have no reason to “expect a punch” from believers, and the Pope must be aware of that. Moreover, in these remarks he flatly […]
