MILF and its jihadi child-soldiers
As this story indicates, first MILF insisted that it did not utilize children for their jihad; now it is saying that it will stop using them — most likely since that will help gain it “a sense of legitimacy and boost the chances of a negotiated peace.” At any rate, it should be recalled that […]
Muslim extremist kills Yemeni Jew
Motive currently “unknown.” Whatever the motive, background facts are telling, such as the fact that, though Yemen once had tens of thousands of Jews, only 400 currently remain. “Muslim extremist kills Yemeni Jew,” from the Associated Press, December 12 : A suspected Muslim extremist has been arrested for allegedly shooting and killing a Yemeni Jew, […]
UK home secretary names the enemy: “those peddling their particular brand of antidemocratic ideology in the guise of religion”
Also identified as “the groups that fail to speak out and condemn violence when any reasonable person would be outraged.” So much for being straightforward. “Time to tackle the non-violent extremists, says Smith,” from the Guardian, December 11 (thanks to Jeffry Imm): The home secretary, Jacqui Smith, yesterday said the government’s counter-terrorism strategy had to […]

“Islam: The way of life of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad”
From our All Your Tradition Are Belong To Us Department comes the legend on this CAIR dawah (proselytizing) bus from Chicago, about which Marisol wrote here. “Islam: The way of life of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad.” This is an odd departure for CAIR.

Unindicted co-conspirator that doesn’t really exist launches campaign of bus ads in South Florida
Magic Madrassa Bus CAIR, that is. And one will recall that recent turns of events have brought to light CAIR’s legal “non-existence” as a “corporate entity” (which has brought up another interesting set of complications). But the dawa must go on: “South Florida Muslims use bus ads, hotline to counter “Obsession” DVD campaign,” from the […]
Philippines: Counterterror efforts find that “hearts and minds” are fickle
Below is a story of how the security situation in the southern Philippines is deteriorating, where it was once upheld as a model of success in counterterror operations.
