U.S. backs plan to let Taliban plunk its hindquarters headquarters in Qatar
This concept is not new; earlier, there were discussions about allowing the Taliban to open a “political” office in Turkey. Only the Taliban would benefit from the opportunity to gain legitimacy, and to transform itself into Hizballah-like “political party” that also happens to function as a state-within-a-state with its own armed forces. Indeed, the office […]
Official ceremonies commemorating 9/11 Islamic jihad attack scrupulously avoid mentioning Islamic jihad
As expected, the official ceremonies yesterday were a politically correct charade that avoided any mention of who attacked us or why. Imagine a Pearl Harbor observance held while the war was still going on that avoided any mention of the Japanese Empire. And that ceremony was staged by those who hold all the political power […]
Malaysia: Muslim group protests to government to shut down website insulting Islam and proselytizing Muslims
If the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and its U.S.-based allies like Hamas-linked CAIR get their way, this kind of thing will come to the United States as well: it will become a criminal offense to speak honestly and accurately about how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to recruit terrorists and […]
Federal appeals court to hear Oklahoma Islamic law case
The opponents of anti-Sharia laws say that they will restrict individual Islamic religious practice. This is absurd. In reality, they are designed to prohibit the political and supremacist aspects of Islam — the ones that contradict American Constitutional principles. That is all. If Islam did not contain those elements, no one would bother with anti-Sharia […]
Turkish PM: Israeli raid on jihad flotilla was “cause for war”
Remember that the peaceful, humanitarian folks on the flotilla were actually armed — and were chanting the genocidal jihadist chant, “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return.” Erdogan’s claim that Turkey showed “patience” is a deft inversion of reality: by saying that it was a “cause for war” at all, he is […]
Seattle: FBI outreach program offends Muslims by including Ayatollah Khomeini’s image in discussion of state-sponsored terrorism
Facts are facts. Iran has been a leading state sponsor of jihadist terrorism since the revolution that brought Khomeini to power. The only thing the FBI should be concerned about is that “the two FBI agents giving the presentation said they didn’t know who it was.” “FBI ends up offending Muslims at outreach workshop,” from […]
Egypt’s military rulers ignored repeated calls from U.S. to stop 13-hour attack on Israeli embassy
Remember when we said “Apparently Cairo isn’t screening out calls from Washington yet”? Well, it turns out they were. American officials got the same line as the Israelis, that Field Marshal Tantawi “could not be found.” It took the threat of “serious consequences” from Secretary of Defense Panetta — not to mention direct intervention by […]
On 9/11 anniversary, 100 Egyptians stage sit-in at U.S. embassy in Cairo to demand release of cleric behind 1993 WTC attack
It was accompanied, unsurprisingly, by calls for rule by Sharia in Egypt, as the fundamental aim of jihad in all its forms is the imposition of Islamic law. “Sit-in for Egyptian cleric from ’93 NY attack,” by Aya Batrawy for the Associated Press, September 11: CAIRO (AP) “” Around 100 Islamists protested Sunday near the […]
U.K.: “Muslims Against Crusades” burns American flag in front of U.S. embassy, breaks moment of silence with chanting over megaphone
Islamic supremacism, triumphalism, and hurling insults against the soldiers who defend the rights they have chosen to mock and abuse. “9/11 anniversary: Muslim protesters burn US flag outside embassy in London,” by Andy Bloxam for the Telegraph, September 11: A number of radical Islamic groups including Muslims Against Crusades (MAC) gathered outside the embassy on […]
