What makes Obama think that the Islamic State is looking to him for legitimacy? Where did he get the idea that any Muslim looks to any non-Muslim to legitimize his understanding of Islam? The Qur’an calls Muslims “the best of people” (3:110) and unbelievers “the most vile of created beings” (98:6). Does Obama think that […]

Obama: “We can’t suggest that Islam itself is at the root of the problem. That betrays our values.”
How does it betray our values? He didn’t say. When did denial and willful ignorance become core American values? He didn’t say that, either. His chief support for his claim that the Islamic State is not Muslim and doesn’t represent Islam in any way was this: “The vast majority of the people they kill are […]
Obama to Muslims: “Your entire community so often is targeted or blamed for the violent acts of the very few”
Here again, Obama is repeating talking points from Hamas-linked CAIR and its allies. It is an extremely common complaint among Islamic supremacists in the U.S. that the entire Muslim community is being blamed for the actions of a few, that counter-terror efforts demonize innocent Muslims, and the like. Trump’s proposal for a temporary moratorium on […]
The Same God Question – Part 3: ‘By their fruits you shall know them…’
(Continued from Part 1 and Part 2) “After the San Bernardino attacks, everybody was saying, ‘If only Americans knew more about Islam, they wouldn’t be so afraid.’ Actually, it’s the reverse.” — Bill Maher ‘I have been commanded to fight…’ The condemnations of Christianity in the Koran (cited in Part 2) have real-world implications, as […]
Video: John Kerry attacked in Rome; attacker cried “You created ISIS!”
Kerry did aid in creating the vacuum that the Islamic State filled, with the precipitous withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and the American support for the weak Shia government in Baghdad. He also helped arm the Islamic State by sending weapons to “moderates” who either weren’t moderate and gave their weapons to the Islamic […]
Rush Limbaugh on Obama: “Why did he choose to become a Christian?”
By his own account, Obama became a Christian in the early 1990s at Jeremiah Wright’s church, after a period of spiritual searching and rootlessness. But why? Rush Limbaugh is right: he has been markedly critical of Christianity and has repeatedly and effusively praised Islam. So why did he become a Christian at all? This is […]
Obama to Christians: “If we’re serious about freedom of religion…an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths”
One of the most pernicious and least-remarked aspects of Obama’s speech at the Baltimore mosque Wednesday was that throughout it, he assumed that the religious freedom of Muslims was under attack in the United States. It is not. Obama is conflating legitimate concern about terrorism with attempts to infringe the First Amendment. He is taking […]
Pakistan: Muslims waving pistols storm Hindu temple, desecrate idol of Hindu deity
“We don’t know who those men were. We have never seen them before. We are very saddened by the incident. It has really terrorised the neighbourhood.” “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others […]

This special edition of The Glazov Gang was joined by Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center who writes the blog The Point at Frontpagemag.com.
