Whistleblowers accuse US military of cooking intel to exaggerate success against the Islamic State and Taliban
We have seen accusations of this kind before. Given the Obama Administration’s thorough politicization of so much of government that was not politicized before, it is not remotely implausible. “US Military May Have ‘Cooked’ ISIL Intel, Exaggerating Own Success,” Sputnik News, November 22, 2015: Whistleblowers accused the US military of manipulating intelligence data on its […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Douce France
[Editor’s note: Hugh Fitzgerald first published this essay here at Jihad Watch in 2004. Now, in light of the recent jihad attacks in Paris and ongoing threats to France from the Islamic State, it is more germane than ever, and hence eminently worthy of republishing. The names of the politicians have changed; the overall situation […]
FBI top dog: Islamic State “urging people not to travel but to stay and kill where you are. We’re not sure exactly what’s going on.”
This isn’t really a change in the Islamic State’s strategy. I discuss it in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS. The most revealing thing Comey says is, “We’re not sure exactly what’s going on.” Truer words were never spoken! Obama’s FBI as a matter of policy refuses to acknowledge or study the ideology, […]
Poll: 40 percent of millennials want speech censored
This Daily Caller report is all about how a large percentage of young people favor restrictions on speech deemed offensive to minorities, and while it discusses only racial minorities, there is no doubt that its findings apply to Muslims as well, and that many young people would want speech offensive to Muslims restricted as well.

Brussels in lockdown, fearing imminent jihad mass murder attacks
“All they do is scare us, it’s not normal.” Well, that depends on what your definition of “normal” is. For many people, this is normal: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and […]
Anonymous: Islamic State planning attacks on Paris churches, Atlanta WWE event Sunday
What? Paris churches? Why? Did someone in them draw Muhammad, or “provoke” Muslims and “poke them in the eye” in some other way? This sort of thing can be cleared up in a jiffy with some “dialogue.” The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which understands very well that the dialogue must be preserved at all […]
Jeb Bush Lies, Says Bashar Assad ‘Executes’ Christians
In a CNN interview this week, presidential candidate Jeb Bush said that only Middle East Christians should be granted refugee status in the U.S. (a point I argued for two months prior to the Paris terrorist attacks which prompted Bush’s statement). In the midst of an otherwise good interview, however, Bush made a bizarre statement: There […]
