Yesterday, Jihad Watch writer Christine Williams posted a link to this story from Christian Today, along with some commentary praising Wall Street Journal reporter Sohrab Ahmari for his courage. Ahmari had announced his conversion to Christianity after two Islamic jihadists murdered Catholic priest Jacques Hamel: There are two possible implications of this: it could […]

UK: Muslim cleric tells Muslims that taking sex slaves is “permissible in Islam”
Ali Hammuda is scolded here by the witless Express: “Hammuda, who was born in Palestine but brought up in Britain does not point out to his group that slavery is both forbidden in Islam and illegal in the UK.” It may be illegal in the UK, at least for now, but slavery is not, in […]
Robert Spencer in the New York Post: The most dangerous anti-American force isn’t ISIS, it’s Iran
In the New York Post this morning I explain why the larger long-term threat to the U.S. is not the Islamic State, but the Islamic Republic of Iran: The greatest threat to national security today isn’t ISIS, or China, or Russia or even the administration’s favorite bogey, climate change. The greatest threat is the Islamic […]
Turkey: 7,000 armed police in heavy vehicles surround NATO air base after huge rally accuses US of role in failed coup
This “security check” is hardly the action of a friend and ally. It is odd that Erdogan, who has been so friendly with Obama, would think he had a hand in the coup, but in any case, this just reemphasizes that rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey is no friend or ally of the United States, and should […]
Germany: “Because I am a Muslim”: Media cover-up as Afghan smashes up church
And the first thing Western leaders will say is, “No, you did not actually do this because you’re a Muslim. You did this because you’re poor, or disenfranchised, or discriminated against. We need to give you a job and some cash, and all will be well.” The second thing they will say is, “More migrants. […]
State Dept spends $16 million on totally ineffective program to dissuade jihadis
This New York Times story is about how the State Department’s appeals to jihadis have switched from snark to emotion. It notes that the program has thus far been completely ineffective, but has no idea why. In reality, both the snarky and the emotional versions of this program are doomed to failure because they manifest […]
Malta: Bacon left in Qur’an next to photo of priest slain by jihadis
The local authorities were, of course, hurried with their condemnations. Bishop C. J. Scicluna wrote: “I condemn the vilification of the Quran at Mater Dei Hospital. I condemn the abuse of the name of Martyr Fr Jacques Hamel. Not in our name.” Very well. Leaving bacon in the Qur’an was certainly a boorish act. At […]
Remembrance march for Nice, France jihad slaughter banned for fear of more attacks
Jihadist enemies of Western freedoms and democracy remain smug and emboldened. Following the slaughter in Nice, France when 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel mowed through a crowd going zigzag with his truck to kill as many possible while shouting “Allahu akbar”, a remembrance march for the 84 people he murdered and the dozens he wounded — […]
France: Church of priest murdered by jihadis donated land for mosque; “relations are normally very good”
“Relations are normally very good” — aside from that priest with his throat slit, that is. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? “The head of a religious order in Co Down who knew slain Father Jacques Hamel has revealed that Church land beside the scene of the murder was given by Catholic […]
California to proclaim August “Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month”
This is being done at the behest of Hamas-linked CAIR. Is Assemblymember Bill Quirk aware that Hamas-linked CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department? CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various […]
