The Tiny Minority of Extremists again turns out to be less tiny than advertised. A few months ago, the stock answer to concerns along these lines would likely have been that Tunisia is a modern, moderate Muslim country, and even if there a few whackos, this sort of thing can’t happen. The foreign policy of […]

Obama would be “satisfied” with Muslim Brotherhood win in Egypt
“Satisfied” with the rule of a group dedicated in its own words to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.” That’s a peculiar kind of satisfaction. “US would be ‘satisfied’ with Brotherhood win in Egypt,” from the Jerusalem Post, November 5 (thanks to Pamela Geller): The United States will judge elected parties in the MidEast […]
Nigeria’s Boko Haram: “Whomever we kill, we kill because Allah says we should kill and we kill for a reason”
They said it. But surely, there must be some “underlying causes” to chase after instead of considering that they fight for the reason they say they do: jihad to impose Sharia law. “Nigeria: Radical Muslim sect grows more dangerous,” by John Gambrell for the Associated Press November 4: MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) – The imam’s insistent, […]
St. Louis: Muslim cabdriver pleads guilty to funneling money to jihad terrorists in Somalia
Back in March, the U.S. attorney’s office reached out to St. Louis Muslims, playing right into the hands of the victimhood mentality and sense of grievance that Hamas-linked CAIR and other groups so carefully cultivate among Muslims in the U.S., so as to wring concessions from government and law enforcement, and take the focus off […]
Boston: Accused jihadist Tarek Mehanna spoke of waging jihad, justified 9/11, praised bin Laden
His attorneys say it is all about freedom of speech. Sure. There is plenty of freedom of speech for those who want to wage jihad warfare against the United States and the West. Where freedom of speech is in short supply is for those who want to resist that jihad. “Mehanna spoke of joining jihad, […]
Shocker: Islamic Jihad doesn’t expect “truce” with Israel to last
The hudna is never intended to last. It is a tool to attempt to give control to the jihadists over when hostilities begin and end, so that fighting occurs when the jihadists like their odds of succeeding. Note also that the “new” Egypt has begun direct negotiations with this jihad terrorist group. “Islamist [sic] Jihad […]
Speaking of Islam-related cartoons”¦
This caricature recently appeared on the Egyptian political website Mashy.com; it speaks volumes. The bent over, golem-like figure represents al-thawra, or Egypt’s “Revolution.” Serving as a platform to the nation’s “throne,” this hijacked and hobbled “Revolution” is casually ascended by one of the Salafis””also known as “Islamists,” “jihadists,” “radicals,” or, according to them, “good, pious […]
Al-Shabaab warns Kenya of “endless war”
That’s pretty much the plan anyway, isn’t it? Until worship is for Allah alone (Qur’an 2:193, 8:39)? An update on this story. “Somali rebels say will subject Kenya to ‘endless war’,” from Agence France-Presse, November 4: Somalia’s Shebab rebels said Thursday they were building defences that would plunge Kenyan forces battling them into an “endless […]
Mullah Omar to Taliban: Hey, lay off the civilian casualties
“The U.N. attributed 80 percent of the civilian deaths to insurgents and others fighting against the Afghan government.” Where’s the outrage about that? But Omar also manages to blame the victim, saying “civilians also need to keep themselves safe from attacks, such as staying away from U.S. troops on patrol.” “Taliban chief asks militants not […]
Alleged leaker Mohamed Elibiary the only DHS adviser given access to sensitive law enforcement database
In “Alleged DHS leaker Elibiary the only adviser given access to sensitive law enforcement database” at PJ Media, November 3 (thanks to T.T.), Patrick Poole shows that the story that he broke recently and that I discussed here is even worse than was originally known. In yet another stunning example of government capitulation to Islamic […]
