“Know, oh Obama, that will reach America. Know also that we will cut off your head in the White House, and transform America into a Muslim Province.” The always hopelessly idiotic Daily Mail twice calls this “biblical,” calling it a “biblical-sounding tirade” and “biblical-sounding threats.” In reality, it is a Qur’an-sounding tirade. But characterizing it […]

“Security forces raid a small southern town known as one of the recruiting centres that have sent hundreds of French youths to fight in Syria and Iraq.” Lunel is a town of 30,000 and it has sent hundreds of “French youths” — that is, young Muslims who have no allegiance to France at all — […]

The Orwellian-named Islamic Human Rights Commission, which operates in Brave New Britain, has opened voting for its “Islamophobia Awards 2015,” promising “an evening of comedy mayhem as we recognise the worst Islamophobes from around the world.” Comedy mayhem? The IHRC is defying the Ayatollah Khomeini, who said: “There are no jokes in Islam. There is […]

“The Zionist regime has crossed our red lines.” Probably the Iranian’s red lines are not portable and equipped with gates, like Obama’s. The Iranians have been rattling sabers against Israel for years. At some point they are going to make good on their words, but the West seems intent on ignoring that probability. “Iran sends […]

In FrontPage I explain why it is still never wise to negotiate with terrorists. Having murdered one of its Japanese hostages, Haruna Yukawa, the Islamic State issued an audio recording purportedly of the other, Kenji Goto, pleading for his life and making a new demand. Yukawa had been “slaughtered,” said the man claiming to be Goto. […]

As Islamic anti-Semitism drives Jews out of Europe, the BBC eagerly carries water for the Jew-haters. But what else would you expect in today’s cowed, subjugated Dhimmi Britannia? They’re cavalier about the mass murder of Jews seventy years ago, just as they’re cavalier about the calls from their Muslim masters for a new genocide of […]

If you want to worry about Russian troops, there is plenty to worry about. Even this story alleges that they looted and destroyed property, and quotes someone calling them “robbers and murderers.” But the primary focus of this Daily Beast piece is not any of that; it’s that Russian troops allegedly trashed Qur’ans in Dagestan. […]

“I know we’ve been beaten down by political correctness and relativism, but does anyone have a conscience anymore?”

This could come as no surprise to anyone. Contrary to the handwringing about “racism” and “lack of opportunity: for immigrants, Sweden, and all of Europe, is extremely solicitous of its Muslim immigrants, and anxious not to offend them. The Islamic State jihadis are immigrants or the children of immigrants; if they weren’t welcomed back and […]

This is likely part of the promised retaliation for Israel’s “air strike on a Hezbollah convoy near the Golan Heights on Jan 18,” in which “an Iranian Revolutionary Guard general, Mohammed Allahdadi, was killed along with a Hezbollah commander and the son of the group’s late military leader, Imad Moughniyeh.” “Two rockets from Syria strike […]

Back in November, there were reports that the Islamic State was in control of the Libyan city of Derna. A couple of weeks ago, the Islamic State of Tripoli announced that it had kidnapped twenty-one Christian “Crusaders.” And now this. Libya has descended into jihadist chaos, courtesy Barack Obama. Note also how the determinedly clueless […]
