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.
André Carson (D-IN), to the House’s Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence. Carson already has entrée to highly sensitive areas. He is
currently a member […]

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 […]

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 — […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

“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
[…]

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 […]

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
[…]

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 […]
