If we had any actual journalists today, they would be asking Ilhan Omar probing questions about what she thinks about the global jihad and where her loyalties ultimately lie. No one denounced questions of loyalty when John F. Kennedy was asked them as a Roman Catholic running for President in 1960. But today, asking them […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tale of Two Museums (Part Seven)
Muhammad Fraser-Rahim, a historian of Islam who spent more than a decade as a counter-terrorism advisor, including at the Department for Homeland Security, said that at a time when Trump appears to be questioning whether Islam is compatible with American life, there is an appetite for more awareness of its place in the American story. […]
Sweden: 41 municipalities forced to take back Islamic State jihadis, taxpayers to pay for their social benefits
“41 out of 290 Swedish municipalities are expected to be forced to accommodate returning Islamic State members.” Why? because “under Swedish law, they have Swedish passports and cannot be turned away. The returnees have the right to settle where they like and even claim social benefits.” A review and correction of such laws in the […]
New Book Demolishes Arab Armies of Sand
“Arab armed forces consistently underperformed, and underperformed in the same ways time and again, regardless of who they fought or where, the state of their politics, or the relative state of economic development between them and their foe.” So concludes scholar Kenneth M. Pollack in his magisterial book on the cultural roots of disastrous post-1945 […]
Lawyers for Muslim convicted of jihad stabbing at Michigan airport claim he suffered discrimination
The victim card keeps on getting played, even in the most preposterous of circumstances, such as in this case, apparently because it continues to work. Amor Ftouhi’s lawyers claim he suffered as a Muslim in Canada, one of the world’s most welcoming countries, and that his jihad attack was not jihad, despite his repeated avowals […]
Berlin: Muslims stab Christian homeless man while screaming about “your pig god”
“Arabic-speaking youths were caught on video assaulting and stabbing a homeless Berlin man is speculated in the German press to be an anti-Christian motivated attack.” The persecution of Christians is widespread in many Muslim countries — as is anti-Semitism — so it is to be expected that the same hatred and intolerance would be transported […]
German university study claims that Muslims are the world’s happiest people
More of the West’s suicidal self-hatred, yet again emanating from academia. One would probably have to be an academic to take this sort of thing seriously. And of course the Daily Mail, the worst paper in the Western world, runs with it eagerly. There are many such studies. Evangelical Christians have published studies saying they’re […]
Canada: “Islamophobia” prof claims she was assaulted at conference, media runs with claims without checking
It is the height of irresponsibility to report a story without hearing from both sides, but in today’s “journalism” of propaganda and press releases, it’s standard procedure. And so the Canadian Jewish News ran this story in which a Muslim professor, affiliated with the Saudi-funded “Islamophobia” propaganda mill at Georgetown University, the Bridge Initiative, claims […]
Italy: Crosses covered in cemetery to avoid offending Muslims
“The crosses on graves in an Italian cemetery in Pieve di Cento have been covered with black cloth so as not to offend those who may come from another religion.” This absurd disregard for Christians and rejection of Italy’s Christian heritage does not constitute tolerance of people of other faiths. The Christian cemetery management is […]
Judge allows Muslim migrant to stay in UK because his gang membership shows his “integration”
There seems to be a kind of insanity that has overtaken much of the British political and media elite class. Was it because Tolga Binbuga was a Turkish Muslim that Judge Evan Ruth came to the ridiculous and quite spectacularly insane conclusion that “the likely association of Binbuga with this north London gang is a […]
