Obama serves up cliches and falsehoods as his anti-ISIS strategy
By Robert Spencer on Sep 29, 2015 10:26 pm

Over at PamelaGeller.com I dissected Obama’s grand strategy for defeating the Islamic State. Platitudes, self-righteousness, distortions, tortured reasoning, self-promotion — that’s right, it’s another major speech by Barack Obama. Comments interspersed below. “Remarks by President Obama at the Leaders’ Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism,” United Nations Headquarters, September 29, 2015: PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good […]

Muslim from the U.S. is top Islamic State commander
By Robert Spencer on Sep 29, 2015 06:04 pm

How did a Muslim from the U.S. come to have the understanding that taking sex slaves and fighting for the Islamic State was his Islamic privilege and duty? After all, we’re constantly told that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, and that Muslims in the U.S. all reject its view of Islam. […]

Germany: Muslim refugees attack Christian refugees so often that police chief says they should be housed separately
By Robert Spencer on Sep 29, 2015 05:48 pm

“The police have reached their absolute breaking point. Our officials are increasingly being called to confrontations in refugee homes.” Why would the Muslim refugees target the Christian refugees? That doesn’t fit the media narrative of who these refugees are and what they are about at all. But no one will bother to offer an explanation. […]

Germany: Muslim strangles daughter to death in honor killing after she was caught stealing condoms
By Robert Spencer on Sep 29, 2015 01:47 pm

Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a […]

Obama chairs counter-terrorism summit at UN
By Robert Spencer on Sep 29, 2015 01:12 pm

How can Obama possibly defeat terrorism when he consistently denies its motivating and guiding ideology? His repeated claims that the Islamic State can only be defeated if Assad is removed is based on the assumption that ISIS is not Islamic, and is just an opposition group to Assad, so that if Assad is gone, the […]

By Robert Spencer on Sep 29, 2015 12:49 pm

In PJ Media today, I discuss how, at the UN yesterday, Obama tripled down on his politically correct Mideast fantasies, while Putin correctly analyzed the Islamic State and Assad.

Taliban seizes major city, one of the linchpins of Afghanistan’s economy
By Robert Spencer on Sep 29, 2015 12:06 pm

Countless numbers of lives, billions of dollars wasted, and for what? A government that is going to fall as soon as the last U.S. troops are gone. All this outrageous and tragic waste could have been avoided, but that would have required Washington establishment analysts to drop their rosy comforting fictions about Islam and Sharia, […]

Raymond Ibrahim: MSM Lies about Muslim Lies (Taqiyya)
By Raymond Ibrahim on Sep 29, 2015 11:36 am

Dr. Ben Carson’s recent assertion that the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya encourages Muslims “to lie to achieve your goals” has prompted the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler to quote a number of academics to show that the presidential candidate got it wrong: The word “taqiyya” derives from the Arabic words for “piety” and “fear of God” […]
