Accused jihadist was “determined to kill Americans”
Prosecutor misunderstands al-Qaeda, but what else is new? “Accused terrorist was determined to ‘kill Americans’: feds,” from AP, October 12: A man accused of helping to build a truck bomb used in a 1998 terror attack on a U.S. embassy in Africa was a member of an al-Qaeda cell that was determined to kill Americans, […]
Leader of Dutch left-wing party encourages criticism of Islam
This development should help to upset the mainstream media’s apple cart of epithets like “right wing,” “far right,” “hard right,” and so forth for those who criticize Islam. And it goes to show what should be abundantly clear across the political spectrum: this is ultimately not a “right-wing” issue, even though those from that background […]
Afghan “peace council” demands a “gesture” from U.S.
Of course, they’ve already specified their “gesture”: they want Taliban figures released, and others taken off a U.N. sanctions list. In other words, we’re supposed to make it easier for the Taliban to fight, for the sake of peace. So… what’s in it for us? One might be afraid to ask if we get a […]
U.S. jihadi: “I am a traitor to America because my religion requires me to be”
He said it. And of course there will be no refutation forthcoming from self-proclaimed moderate Muslims, who will instead content themselves with whining about “Islamophobia” and “collective guilt.” “Al-Qaeda Magazine Interviews ‘Proud’ Traitor to US,” by Elad Benari for Israel National News, October 12 (thanks to all who sent this in): Al-Qaeda in the Arabian […]
Salon “media critic” spreads lies about Pamela Geller, Ground Zero mosque in claiming to clear up NYT inaccuracies
Justin Elliott of Salon is hopping mad about the New York Times’ slyly contemptuous piece against Pamela Geller: he doesn’t think it contained enough venom, and is eager to supply it himself. And after the time-hallowed fashion of Leftist “media critics,” the “truth” he offers is just more lies. “New York Times runs softball profile […]
“No matter whether Wilders’ publications are true or not, this does not mean that he can express those as facts”
I just received this note from Jihad Watch reader Andries in the Netherlands. I’m working on finding confirmation. If it is accurate, and it is illegal in the Netherlands to tell the truth, then the light of freedom is in imminent danger of going out not just in the Netherlands but all over the West. […]
Australia: Two Muslims accused of plotting terror attack were lectured on jihad by Islamic cleric
Funny how so many Islamic clerics turn out to be misunderstanders of the Religion of Peaceâ„¢. One would think that a man who had devoted his life to the study of the Qur’an and Sunnah wouldn’t get it all so drastically wrong. And yet it seems to keep happening, as the learned analysts scratch their […]
Spencer: The Washington Post’s moral collapse
My column in Human Events this morning: Several years ago, in a key defeat for free speech, newspapers cowered before Muslim rage and refused to run cartoons of Muhammad. Now at the Washington Post they’re going one better, and refusing to run cartoons that don’t depict Muhammad–again, believe it or not, for fear of enraging […]
