Why do we have jihad terrorism? Because it works. Weren’t any of these people taught that the worst thing you can do with a bully is kowtow and give him what he wants, and that you simply have to stand up to him? “German carnival drops Charlie Hebdo-inspired float after Paris attack,” Reuters, January 29, […]

Apparently it is now illegal in Britain to criticize Islam on a bus. Can one criticize Islam on a plane? Can one criticize Islam on a train? Or are they all right out now in Enlightened Cameronia?

You may recall, even though it was so very long ago, that before 9/11, the Taliban blew up the Buddhas of Bamiyan and was known to be involved in training jihad terrorists for mass murder plots outside Afghanistan. There were al-Qaeda training camps in Taliban-controlled areas of Afghanistan. The Taliban has blown up girls’ schools […]

After the recent speech al-Sisi made calling for a reevaluation of the aspects of Islamic thinking that are “antagonizing the entire world,” the State Department should be working closely with him on strategies for teaching against jihad violence and Islamic supremacism in Muslim countries.
