Iran is, with Turkey, the nation that would be most harmed by the creation of an independent Kurdish state in Iraq. With an independent Kurdistan, and a well-armed Peshmerga, just over the border, the seven to eight million Kurds living in western Iran might well be inspired to rise up against their Persian masters in […]

Robert Spencer video: Why are police ignoring evidence that mosque is preaching jihad?
In this new video, I explain what happened when an investigator found that a New Hampshire mosque was preaching jihad: instead of investigating, police cried “Islamophobia.” Of course, the Manchester, New Hampshire police themselves don’t want to appear “Islamophobic,” and put that imperative above any responsibility they may have to protect their citizens. Find out […]
Miami: Muslim arrested on charge of attempting jihad bombing of local mall
Vicente Solano is apparently a convert to Islam, as he was inspired by the Islamic State and made pro-Islamic State videos. So here again we have a convert to Islam getting the idea that his new religion requires him to commit treason and mass murder. Authorities remain completely uninterested in this oft-recurring phenomenon. “Miami man […]
Deserter Bergdahl says US treated him worse than Taliban did
How about sending him back to the Taliban, then? Barack Obama traded five seasoned, battle-hardened jihadis back to the Taliban in exchange for Bergdahl. Former infantry officer Nathan Bradley Bethea, who served with Bergdahl in Afghanistan, wrote in the Daily Beast that Bergdahl was “a deserter, and soldiers from his own unit died trying to […]
Video: Robert Spencer on the ridiculousness of the Left
This morning I spoke at the Young America’s Foundation’s October High School Conference at the Reagan Ranch. It is, as always, extremely encouraging to encounter so many informed, dedicated young people who are unwilling to accept the Leftist propaganda that engulfs the public discourse.
Hugh Fitzgerald: Iraqi Kurdistan — What Might Independence Mean?
On September 25, the Kurds in northern Iraq held what may be seen as the most welcome event in the Middle East since the Six-Day War: a referendum on independence, for which 93% of the voters (including non-Kurds living in Kurdish areas of Iraq) declared themselves in favor. The Kurds are the largest ethnic group […]
Mark Steyn: Robert Spencer a “brave crusader against the dopier multiculti illusions”
Mark Steyn says that “Robert Spencer [is] the author of several bestselling books on Islam, a brave crusader against the dopier multiculti illusions and the proprietor of the indispensable Jihad Watch.” One of the dopier multiculi illusions, if not the dopiest, is that criticism of Islam, Sharia, and even jihad terror constitutes “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” […]
Islamic State celebrates, but does not claim responsibility for, California wildfires
Contrary to widespread claims after the Las Vegas jihad massacre, the Islamic State does not claim responsibility for incidents it did not perpetrate. It also continues to insist that the Las Vegas massacre was an Islamic State jihad attack, although it has not presented any evidence to that effect. “ISIS Celebrates California Wildfires Death Toll […]
Minnesota: Club president says he is “kind of” pro-free speech, but cancels event critical of Islam
“In no way is our club a sponsor of political viewpoints and we do not endorse our facility to be used in such a way.” And “the general sentiment among the board, even among those who voted to cancel the event, was that Dakdok should be allowed to present his message, ‘but they didn’t think […]
Muslim student in Canada posts hate screed, “Be proud of this country? For what, over 400 years of genocide?”
400 years of genocide by Canadians? Sounds like fake news, eh? Anyway, Masuma Khan rants against “white people,” while ignoring, of course, the oppression that her hijab represents. Despite being on the lookout for “hate speech” (always a spurious concept), Canadian authorities are not likely to take any action against her: as far as they’re […]
