Yet another convert to Islam misunderstands her new, peaceful religion. Yet no mosques of Islamic schools have any programs in place to teach converts to reject this understanding of Islam that they ostensibly oppose. “Judge Hands Down 4 Year Sentence To ‘Jihad Shannon,’” CBSDenver, January 23, 2015: DENVER (CBS4) – An Arvada teenager who wanted […]

Mistah Abdullah, he dead. The horror. The horror. Abdullah was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. Old Abdullah was as dead as a door-nail. So what now? The crown prince, Abdullah’s half-brother, Prince Salman, has taken over, but it might not be that easy. After all, it wasn’t too many […]

It is embarrassing to see the United States Secretary of State using a propaganda term that is designed to intimidate people into remaining silent about the jihad threat. “Kerry calls for more resources in anti-extremist fight, warns of Islamophobia,” by Warren Strobel, Reuters, January 23, 2015: (Reuters) – Countries must devote more resources to fight […]

Mandating the removal of headgear of people in custody is simply a safety move. They could be hiding something under a hat — or a hijab. That Hamas-linked CAIR would be involved in this case shows that it has seized upon it as part of its ongoing efforts to weaken law enforcement, stop all law […]

Muslims in Pakistan, Iran, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Niger, and now Australia have rallied against the Muhammad cartoons. We have not seen — anywhere in the world — similar rallies against jihad terrorism (the supposed “perversion” of their faith) or in favor of the freedom of speech. “Sydney’s Muslim community rallies in Lakemba in response to terror […]

“Death to France, death to Israel, death to Britain, death to Charlie Hebdo.” Meanwhile, in the Britain on which the protesters wish death, the BBC is certain that the vast majority of Muslims reject jihad and embrace the freedom of speech. Where are they marching? “Iran cities in big protests over Charlie Hebdo,” Agence France-Presse, […]

This is simple common sense. By going to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State’s jihad, these Muslims have joined an entity that has declared war against the United States. They have committed treason. They have forfeited the rights and privileges of citizenship. But it will be interesting to see who opposes this, and […]

True to form for the mainstream media, the BBC here takes up the problem of jihad terror and Islamic supremacism and concludes with a determined optimism born of ignoring unpleasant facts that there is not really any problem at all. Comments interspersed below. “Blasphemy, jihad and victimhood,” by Owen Bennett-Jones, BBC, January 22, 2015 (thanks […]

“We started with stones and will end with a state.” And no amount of genocidal incitement and calls for mass murder will stop the UN, Europe, and Obama from doing all they can to give them one. “Fatah Facebook Page Incites Terror Hours After Stabbings,” by Tova Dvorin, Arutz Sheva, January 21, 2015: The Palestinian […]
