Indeed. The Somali jihadists have already threatened Kenya, Uganda and Burundi, and even Israel, and will eventually attempt an attack outside of Somalia. All of this activity points ultimately to the global nature of the jihadist agenda, above and beyond what are all too often written off as “regional” or “nationalistic” squabbles. In one al-Shabaab […]

Malaysian women say caning for adultery was “good” for them
Of course, as they’re already under the thumb of Sharia enforcers, they can’t be sure of what might happen if they said anything else. An update on this story. “Malaysian women say caning “good” for them,” by David Chance for Reuters, February 18: KUALA LUMPUR – Three Malaysians who became the first women to be […]

At 10AM Eastern Pamela Geller and I will be presenting “Jihad: The Political Third Rail — What They’re Not Telling You,” featuring Wafa Sultan, Steve Coughlin, Anders Gravers of SIOE, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff of Pax Europa, Sudanese […]
Iran’s Thug-in-Chief: “If the Zionist regime wants to repeat the same mistakes they previously made, they must be gotten rid of once and for all”
“The goggles… they do nothing!” In other words, stop resisting the jihad to destroy you… or we’ll destroy you. The sabre-rattling may seem routine, but the mentality and intentions it demonstrates are instructive. And it bears repeating: This guy wants nukes. “Ahmadinejad: Israel terrified of Hizbullah,” from Al Bawaba, February 18 (thanks to Sr. Soph): […]
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula threatens “dozens” more airliner bombs
Prior reports have already suggested the same, with one discussing the possible use of female suicide bombers. “Terrorism: Al-Qaeda warns of ‘dozens’ of in-flight bombs,” from AdnKronos International, February 18: Sanaa, 18 Feb. (AKI) – Al-Qaeda has prepared “dozens” more bombs like the one used by the young Nigerian accused of trying to blow up […]
Five Muslim soldiers arrested at Fort Jackson for trying to poison the food supply
They were arrested just before Christmas, but we are only learning about it now, almost two months later. Why the long delay? Was this yet another coverup? Who ordered it, and why? “CBN Exclusive: Five Muslim Soldiers Arrested at Fort Jackson in South Carolina,” from CBN News, February 18 (thanks to all who sent this […]
Meet the new boss, not the same as the old boss? Under new chief, IAEA suggests Iran actively working on nuclear weapons

Iran: Proposed law to further curtail women’s rights reappears in parliament
This bill appeared to have gone down in defeat earlier, but those who insist upon more and more Sharia can be counted on to keep trying. “Iranians Protest Bill on Rights of Women,” by Nazila Fathi for the New York Times, February 17 (thanks to John): In what appeared to be the first burst of […]
Australia: Muslim cleric calls sentences for convicted jihadists “harsh,” warns of “alienation” of Muslim community
You do the crime, you do the time. Ikebal Patel’s objection to that simple concept defies logic. Wouldn’t law-abiding, moderate Australian Muslims who denounce “terrorism” want to see this sort of thing prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, rather than making excuses for the perpetrators? Of course, the game here is blackmail: threatening […]
John Brennan, call your office: “Prince of Jihad” faces bombing trial
But…but…didn’t John Brennan, Obama’s counterterrorism czar, say that “they are not jihadists, for jihad is a holy struggle”? Mohammed Jibril must be a Misunderstander of Islam. Funny how the only ones who don’t know Brennan’s lessons on jihad are the jihadists themselves. “‘Prince of Jihad’ to face bombing trial,” by Adam Gartrell for AAP, February […]
