Jimmy Carter asks U.S. to support Islamic rule in Egypt
It will lead to democracy, freedom and stability in the region, he says. Oh, really?

Israeli TV commercial spoofs mysterious explosions at Iran nuke plants
The devil cannot endure to be mocked, and predictably enough, Islamic supremacists are waxing indignant about this innocuous commercial. You can click CC for captions. In this clip, some Israeli TV stars travel to Iran, thinly disguised as Muslim women, in order to find the fan they’ve heard they have there. While there, they encounter […]
Audio of debate: David Goldman (“Spengler”) vs. Robert Spencer — Was communism a greater threat than Islam?
Yes, it’s a video, but it’s audio only Muslim and Leftist spokesmen continue to run from debate from me, and try to save face among their followers by falsely claiming I’m ducking them. Above all, their cretinous venom — the attacks on my personal appearance, i.e., I’m funny-looking so I must be wrong — show […]

Gingrich says no to Sharia, Hamas-linked CAIR enraged

Hamas-linked CAIR is, surprise of surprises, lying about the nature of Sharia. It teaches the things […]
Hamas, Islamic Jihad discuss merger

Libya: Salafists race to impose Sharia “in more and more communities”
As was the case with Egypt, weren’t the Salafists and their sympathizers in Libya supposed to be a Tiny Minority of Extremists? We tried to tell you. “In Libya, a Fundamentalist War against Moderate Islam Takes Shape”, by Steven Sotloff for Time, January 18: The Libyan revolution has not been kind to Mahmud al-Arabi. Last […]
Al-Qaeda magazine found in Guantanamo cell
What a torture chamber Guantanamo is, eh? It’s so horrifically draconian that the terrorized, tortured prisoners lounge around reading the propaganda that their own side, the avowed enemies of the United States, puts out. Meanwhile, a French judge is seeking access to Guantanamo in order to confirm allegations prisoners have made of Qur’ans being desecrated […]
Wealthy Texas Muslim becomes jihadi, AP scratches head and wonders why
The question asked in this headline is never answered in the article. The AP can’t bring itself to consider the possibility that Moeed Abdul Salam read the Qur’an and Sunnah and was “radicalized” in that way. “Why did boarding school graduate join al-Qaida?,” by Chris Brummitt and Gene Johnson for AP, January 18 (thanks to […]
