JIHAD WATCH 09/25/2014

Denial, willful ignorance, wishful thinking: the hallmarks of our age. My latest in FrontPage: Boston’s WCVB.com reported Monday that “the federal government is targeting Boston and two other American cities to shut down what they are calling the U.S.-Jihad pipeline to ISIS in an attempt to stop Americans from joining the terrorist organization.” Boston apparently […]

Herve Gourdel was beheading just after the Islamic State called for attacks “especially” against the “spiteful and filthy French.” The Soldiers of the Caliphate in Nigeria unaccountably misunderstand Islam in the same way as the Islamic State does, and sympathize with it. “Beheading of Frenchman in Algeria won’t deter France, Hollande says,” by Kim Willsher, […]

The airstrikes are meant to save Obama’s poll ratings, and the Democrats’ prospects in November. They are not meant to do any serious damage to the Islamic State, and they are not doing any. “Islamist fighters advance in Syria despite U.S. strikes,” by Kinda Makieh and Jonny Hogg, Reuters, September 24, 2014: (Reuters) – U.S. […]

The political and media elites are so avid to find “moderates,” and they know so little about Islamic doctrine, that this kind of thing happens rather frequently. “Obama Praises Muslim Cleric Who Backed Fatwa on Killing of U.S. Soldiers,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, September 24, 2014: President Barack Obama favorably quoted and praised […]

“Second, it is time for the world – especially Muslim communities – to explicitly, forcefully, and consistently reject the ideology of al Qaeda and ISIL.” As if they knew he would say this today (did they?), an international group of Muslim scholars today issued a purported refutation of the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam. Unfortunately, […]

“It has few other options.” How about this: don’t arm or aid any of America’s enemies. Speak realistically about the jihad threat, and seek to prevent jihad terror attacks at home. Or else go in with ground troops that aren’t crippled by politically correct Rules of Engagement, and crush the Islamic State, and then leave, […]

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Fiqh Council of North America held a press conference in Washington today at which they declared that they had refuted the religious ideology of the Islamic State. They issued this lengthy “Open Letter” (not, interestingly enough, a fatwa) addressed to the Islamic State’s caliph Ibrahim, Abu […]

He is fourteen years old. He was a passenger in the car. Who was driving? It is likely that he is reflecting the culture of his home and community. Is anyone looking into that, or is he being treated as if he were a space alien set down in the midst of an earth family, […]
