This could have been a genuine Islamic State threat, or just someone who thought it would be cool to imitate what appears to be the strong horse. In any case, the objective is to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). “‘We’ve planted explosives on Delta fight [sic] 1061 . […]

“The sword is more truthful than the book” is an exact inversion of “The pen is mightier than the sword.” And indeed, in our own day the pen has proven to be only as strong as those who wield it, and most of them are cowards. Thus Issa Assiri is declaring victory — and with […]

Zulkifli Abdhir is a trained killer in the cause of Islam and jihad. He is “a key figure in the ruthless Abu Sayyaf group that has carried out bombings, assassinations and extortion since 1991 under the guise of fighting for an independent Islamic region in the Philippines.” He is “believed to have been tutored by […]

Once again a mainstream media outlet endorses thuggery and the forced silence of foes of jihad terror. The abandonment of the freedom of speech by those who should be its foremost advocates is one of the biggest and least-noted stories of our age. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is also apparently no fan of […]

Meanwhile, the BBC is deeply concerned about “online Islamophobia.” And so dhimmi Britain staggers another step in its descent into madness. “‘I’m going to go Jew bashing': What teenage thug texted friend before Muslim thugs beat up Orthodox Jewish man ‘in protest against conflict in Palestine,'” by Mark Duell, MailOnline, January 26, 2015 (thanks to […]

If police issued any warning against jihad activity, it isn’t mentioned in this story. The focus seems to be entirely on the prevention of “Islamophobic hate crimes” that rarely materialize. Muslims in the West all too often claim and exploit a pose of victimhood so as to deflect attention away from the specter of genuinely […]

You might have expected “Paris attacks prompt fresh concerns about jihad terror,” but that just shows you’re a racist, bigoted Islamophobe. The #killallMuslims hashtag is reprehensible and heinous, and has no justification whatsoever. The BBC doesn’t bother to point out, however, that it was non-Muslims who were killed by Muslims in Paris, not the other […]

Our long national nightmare is over: after the worst DDoS attack I have ever seen, knocking her site offline for two weeks, freedom fighter Pamela Geller’s website at
pamelageller.com is back. Bookmark it, and visit often. Tech experts faced an attack of a ferocity that was far beyond anything any of them had ever dealt […]

Over at PJ Media I discuss some hate-mongers Linda Sarsour should focus her organization’s time on confronting. The Arab American Association of New York’s website describes its executive director, Linda Sarsour, as, a working woman, community activist, and mother of three. Ambitious, outspoken and independent, Linda shatters stereotypes of Muslim women while also treasuring her […]

Obama administration officials were worried about “unfounded allegations of human rights violations” by Nigerian troops, and that was enough to stop this. The many and heinous human rights violations of Boko Haram, the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, would just have to continue. #BringBackOurGirls, indeed. “US halted Israeli arms […]

“The voice of a person claiming to be Goto speaks over the image, saying in English that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is to blame for Yukawa’s death.” Of course. Islamic jihadists don’t believe that they are ever to blame for anything. Everything they do is the fault of the Infidels. And all too many […]
