Will
the Pope write him back and explain how “authentic Islam and the proper
reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence”? “Fort Hood
shooter sends letter to Pope Francis espousing ‘jihad,’” by Catherine
Herridge, Fox News, October 9, 2014: EXCLUSIVE: Convicted Fort Hood
shooter Nidal Hasan has written to Pope Francis […]

And
the Left responded with ridicule and smears. But now they’re scrambling
to shore up their ridiculously counter-factual position. “Thank You,
ISIS,” by David Horowitz, October 9, 2014 (thanks to Anne Crockett):
Beheadings of innocent human beings are unspeakable acts reflecting the
barbaric savagery of the Islamic “holy war” against the West — against
us. […]

In
my latest over at FrontPage, I discuss border security, or the lack
thereof: During the recent race riots in Ferguson, Missouri, CNN’s Jake
Tapper was walking down a street and filming a segment when someone
emerged out of the shadows behind him, holding a banner emblazoned,
“ISIS is here.” At that point it was […]

As
far as the Islamic State is concerned, what they’re doing is
meritorious and pleasing to Allah, so why shouldn’t children
participate? “‘Our youngest martyr yet’ – Isil boasts about death of
10-year-old,” by Harriet Alexander, Telegraph, October 9, 2014 (thanks
to Anne Crockett): Fighters from the Islamic State have proudly posted
photos of a […]

ITV
considered that the salient aspect of Mark Alexander Harding’s
identity, the one that they needed to highlight, was that he was from
Jersey. (Channel Islands Jersey, not Springsteen Jersey.) Apparently we
are to believe that because Mark Alexander Harding was from Jersey, he
decided to publish bomb-making instructions taken from an Al Qaeda
magazine. […]

How
did Mawlavi Shurhratullah get the crazy idea that he should be working
with explosives? As an imam, didn’t he study the Qur’an’s teachings of
peace and realize that groups like the Taliban, al-Qaeda and the Islamic
State were misunderstanding Islam? “Paktika Mullah Imam kills himself
and his mother by own explosives,” Khaama Press, October […]

7News
Boston WHDH-TV It may be just a prank: some creep thinking it funny to
capitalize on the news of the Islamic State and Oklahoma jihad
beheadings by threatening schoolchildren. Or it could be someone who
wants to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an
8:60) but doesn’t intend to follow […]

“The FBI on Tuesday posted an excerpt of the video on its own website, www.fbi.gov,
and asked for public help in identifying the man. His accent indicates
he could be from the US or Canada, the FBI said. Canadian intelligence
officials have also analyzed the video. They say the man’s accent
suggests he could be […]

I
had never heard of Mia M. Bloom until yesterday. It turns out that she
is a Professor of Security Studies at the University of Massachusetts,
Lowell and the author of Dying to Kill: The Allure of Suicide Terror;
Living Together After Ethnic Killing; and Bombshell: Women and Terror. I
don’t know her work, but […]

This
bizarre episode shows how little political correctness and sympathy for
the jihad buys for a Leftist academic when he falls into the clutches
of Iran’s Islamic regime. Imagine what they would do to Chomsky himself,
despite his decades of faithful service to their cause. To them, he is
just a Jew, no matter how […]

Few
things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the
permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that
Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and
nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage
contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his
marriage with […]
