This attack was motivated by the same ideology and belief system that motivated the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre. No one, however, will make the connection or take any notice — except here. “Bodies ‘littered on the streets’ after Boko Haram attack on Baga,” Irish Times, January 8, 2015: Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram have […]

This Daily Beast report is clearly angry with Maher for breaking ranks with the Left and telling the truth about Islam and jihad. Maher deserves kudos for standing his ground and continuing to enunciate unpopular truths. I wonder how long it will take him to realize that the Left is not going to rush to […]

“The international jihadist movement has declared war. They have declared war on anybody who does not think and act exactly as they wish they’d think and act. We may not like this and wish it would go away, but it’s not going to go away, and the reality is we are going to have to […]

Charlie Hebdo jihad attack: Free speech is a microcosm of a much larger issue by Christine Williams Free speech is but a fragment of the issue stemming from the jihad massacre in France, albeit an important one.

I think this is a great idea. The White House should indeed redouble its efforts to explain what the Qur’an and Sunnah actually say. If it did this honestly, this would lead to a massive change in its foreign and domestic policies. What’s the downside? Of course, the problem with this is that the White […]

Ron Paul and other paleocons such as the pro-jihad American Conservative are fanatically attached to the idea that Islamic jihad is all a reaction to the West’s foreign policy — so much so that they have frequently turned a blind eye to the jihadis’ stated agenda, and see the depredations of Western foreign policy where […]

The Qur’an says that Muslims are the “best of peoples” (3:110) and non-Muslims are the “most vile of created beings” (98:6). Why should Muslims in France or elsewhere in the West exchange the Islamic model of society and governance for that of the vile Infidels? And they aren’t: Sharia enclaves are growing in France and […]

He tried to stab a police officer. A search of his car turned up “suspicious items.” The Islamic State recently called upon Muslims in the West to attack police, and we have seen Muslims attack police recently in Canada and New York City. “Man armed with knives killed by police at Ohio airport: cops,” Sasha […]

As I predicted in this piece at FrontPage, the calls for limitations on the freedom of speech have already begun. Islamic jihad gunmen have murdered twelve people in the Paris offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. One of the jihad murderers in Paris shouted, “We have avenged the prophet Muhammad,” making it abundantly clear […]

“I am a great advocate of freedom of expression,” said Dr. Selim. This is how the freedom of expression is dying: at the hands of great advocates of freedom of expression, just as the self-appointed guardians of tolerance are authoritarian thugs who move to stamp out all dissent. “Muslim scholar could seek legal advice if […]

“It’s very important not to be afraid but you have got to stand on these very valuable democratic principles on which our societies here in western Europe are based, so I hope we will not give in. You must not surrender the very important freedom of speech.” Must not surrender, yes. But the media is […]
