Far be it from the Associated Press, or in fairness, any mainstream news wire service, to portray anything contained in Islamic texts in a negative light. Here, rather, experts suppose that the Somali jihadists see that the Afghan Taliban had success with its tactics both in taking over the seat of government in 1996, and […]

Egypt: Imam somehow misunderstands Islam, calls for attacks on Christians; his congregation willingly obliges
The mainstream media is making a big deal about the supposed “demonizing” of participants in the Ground Zero mosque project, and of the “backlash” that could result from supposedly dangerous talk, by which they mean criticism of the mosque, its backers, and of the agenda behind the whole affair that’s plowed into Lower Manhattan on […]
Pakistan: Flood aid withheld from “non-Muslim” Ahmadis as country depends on aid from… non-Muslims
Just in the past few days, the wealthy Gulf states and the Organization of the Islamic Conference have come fashionably late to the party after weeks of leaving aid groups, international media, and other people Allah hates for asking too many questions (Sahih Bukhari 2.24.555) wondering what the holdup was. Note in particular, at the […]
Pakistan relents, accepts flood aid from India
Pakistan apparently found itself sufficiently embarrassed, at least in this case, for putting its jihad against India ahead of the suffering of its people. This situation proves once again that the greatest vehicle for modification of human rights violations in the Muslim world — albeit on a case by case basis, because most regimes would […]
Iran’s Thug-in-Chief hails new unmanned drone: “the jet, as well as being an ambassador of death for the enemies of humanity, has a main message of peace and friendship.”
“Ambassador of death?” The Islamic Republic of Iran already has plenty of those. The next question: what did they reverse-engineer (a la Iran’s indigenous fighter jet, appearing in so many ways to be a glorified F-5), or whose short-sighted help did they have in the design process? “Iran unveils ‘ambassador of death’ bomber,” from MSNBC, […]
Jihadist indoctrination in Nairobi’s Somali enclave: “They tell us that al-Shabab hates Western countries like America … and that it is all right to cut the throats of every citizen of these countries.”
How many in Somalia, and in this Somali neighborhood, never thought it would get this bad? How many more deluded themselves that Sharia, once implemented, wouldn’t include any of the nastier practices? Those who dismiss concerns about Islamization in the West are also those who would insist it could never really get so bad. The […]
Indictment may be forthcoming for jihadist blogger “Inshallahshaheed”

An update on this story. “Jihadist blogger thought to be creator of Al Qaeda website could be indicted on terrorism charges,” by Meena Hartenstein for the New York Daily News, August 18: A jihadist blogger accused of running an online how-to guide for Al Qaeda could be charged with terrorism very […]
Houston: “Fidgety” passenger who claimed he was in town for “Islamic seminar” arrested at airport with jihadist literature, thousands in cash, weapons diagrams, brass knuckles
Nothing to see here! Sit back, have some Muhammad conspiracy chocolate, and don’t ask which seminar Kumar went to, who he is, who he met with while he was here, where he got his literature, or why he was so nervous. “Airport Weapon Arrest Reveals Jihadist Books,” by Stephen Dean for Click2Houston, August 20: HOUSTON […]
Report: U.S. “reassures” Israel that Iran is “at least 12 months” from nuclear bomb despite starting reactor today
There, there. You’re not going to get obliterated today; it’s just later on where things could get a little dicey. You’ve got at least 12 months, so it all depends on if you’re a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty kind of person, you see. Seriously, though, whatever the timetable, is there any political will left to ensure […]
Ground Zero mega-mosque: the gospel according to the Associated Press
The Associated Press cracked the whip the other day, issuing a strict and specific set of guidelines, approved terminology, and “facts” to be used in its coverage of the Ground Zero mosque. The AP’s agenda is clear, and its policy statement amounts to a resolution to agitate in favor of the mosque and dismiss criticism […]
