Afghanistan: Taliban jihadis bomb Kabul restaurant, tweet “#Hello2016#GoodTimesAhead”
Twelve years of American involvement in Afghanistan. So many lives lost. So much money wasted. And the Taliban is more assertive and aggressive than ever. A war without a point, or a focus, or a goal, or a terminus, or an enemy. A drain on our economy and morale, and all for absolutely nothing. A […]
Iran defies Obama, pledges to ramp up missile program
Peace in our time. “Defiant Iran pledges to ramp up missile program, in challenge for Obama,” by Bozorgmehr Sharafedin, Reuters, January 2, 2016: A series of Iranian officials vowed on Friday to expand Tehran’s missile capabilities, a challenge to the United States which has threatened to impose new sanctions even as the vast bulk of […]
Jihad terror group uses Trump soundbite in propaganda video
The mainstream media is crowing over how this video apparently vindicates the earlier claim by their favored candidate, Hillary Clinton, that Trump’s words were fueling jihad terror recruitment. See, she was right all along! Or maybe al-Shabaab decided to try to overwhelm her massive negatives and get her elected. But none of that is really […]
Iraqi Christian leader on Muslim persecution of Christians: “Is this not a crime against humanity?”
Of course it is. And others have asked similar questions before: “Why, we ask the western world, why not raise one’s voice over so much ferocity and injustice?” asked Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI). The Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III has also said: “I do not understand why […]
Pakistan Army chief: terrorism will be eliminated in 2016
Yes, Raheel Sharif is a laughable fantasist, but he isn’t really all that different from all the Western leaders who insist that Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. “2016 to be year of terrorism elimination, says COAS,” News International, January 2, 2016: RAWALPINDI/ISLAMABAD: The Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), General Raheel Sharif, […]
FBI offers $5,000 reward after bacon found at Las Vegas mosque
What is noteworthy about this story is not — horror of horrors! — the bacon at the mosque. That is obnoxious and stupid, but that’s all it is: no one was hurt, no one was intimidated, no one was threatened. What is noteworthy here is the furious dhimmi overreaction of the FBI. $5,000? For some […]
Islamic State threat prompted New Year’s Eve closings of Munich train stations
The whole world on edge. The Qur’an commands Muslims to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (8:60), and the cowed and frightened West is showing that it’s working. “Suicide attack threat prompted Munich train station alert,” by Frederik Pleitgen, Ben Brumfield and Margot Haddad, CNN, January 1, 2016: (CNN)Police in Germany said Friday a […]
France: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” tries to run down soldiers guarding mosque
This was initially reported, predictably enough, as an attack on the mosque itself, as if some greasy Islamophobe had been behind the wheel. The reality is less surprising but more inconvenient for mainstream media mythmaking. “Valencia: a North African shouting ‘Allah Akbar’ rushes 4 military personnel outside the mosque, according to witnesses (update),” translation of […]
Colorado: Muslim workers fired after walking off job over prayer dispute, Hamas-linked CAIR steps in
“There has been a desire among some employees to go in larger groups of people to pray. We just can’t accommodate that. It backs up the flow of all the production. We’re a federally inspected, USDA inspected plant. We have to ensure food safety. We have to ensure the products we produce meet consumer expectations.” […]
