The
Islamic jihadists know that this kind of action cuts right to the heart
of the free world’s dilemma. If Western leaders ignore the jihadist
demands for ransom, they will be condemning the priest. But if they
negotiate with the jihadists and pay them a healthy ransom, they are
ensuring that there will be many […]

I was on Peter Boyles’s show again this morning, discussing Mohammed Whitaker, the Kansas City sniper.

“Hamas
has largely maintained a truce with Israel since a brief war in late
2012, but it has sometimes struggled to rein in smaller armed Islamist
factions hostile to the Israel.” Actually, the opposite is true. Ramadan
Shalah of Islamic Jihad recently said of his group and Hamas: “We both
coordinate all our moves together, in […]

This
piece is generally good, as there is far too little attention paid in
the mainstream media to the escalating Muslim persecution of Christians,
but Prosor, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, manifests the
same ignorance (or refusal to speak explicitly) that hamstrings the
free world’s response to the jihad threat. “Radical Islamists in […]

you hear about it in the mainstream media? Hardly at all. And that’s
understandable, since in Thailand the victims are Buddhists. If the
victims were Muslims, then there would be an […]

While
frenzied crowds shout “Death to America” on a regular basis in Tehran,
the U.S. is essentially now financing Iran’s nuclear program. There
couldn’t possibly be a downside, now, could there? The Iranians wouldn’t
dare nuke Tel Aviv now, because Israel is an ally of the U.S., and the
U.S. is their friend, right? (This […]

This
is the Britain that British authorities have chosen. This is the
Britain that they want. They refused to believe that Islamic supremacism
existed. They refused to believe that Muslims would make any demands or
threats against the prevailing non-Muslim culture. They stigmatized
those who warned that they would as “bigots” and “Islamophobes.” When it

Muhammad
commanded: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him”
(Bukhari 9.84.57). This is still the position of all the schools of
Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi,
the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated:
“The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet
they […]
