First, he went to a settlement in Judea and Samaria (a/k/a the “West Bank”), Psagot, where he visited the winery that Israeli farmers and oenologists have managed to create in what was during Jordanian rule a wasteland. He is the first American Secretary of […]

UAE Fatwa Council denounces Muslim Brotherhood as ‘terrorist group,’ urges Muslims to steer clear of it
The Muslim Brotherhood is a global entity, so the latest reaffirmation against it by the UAE is beneficial, despite the reasons for this new declaration. Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s ruling family view the Brotherhood “as an ideological competitor and sees its promotion of political activism, including support for elections, as a direct threat to […]
Mattis Hopes Biden Won’t Put America First
My latest in PJ Media: It’s an odd statement coming from anyone who was ever in the U.S. government. President Trump’s former Defense Secretary James Mattis has declared, in a Foreign Affairs op-ed co-written with establishment foreign policy wonk Kori Schake, that he hopes a Biden administration won’t put America first. He didn’t say which […]
New Jersey woman charged with transferring money to jihad terrorist in Syria with whom she had ‘relationship’

Christianity Today features Muslim speaker who complains about ‘Islamophobia’ and Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’
This is unfortunate, but not in the least surprising. “Islamophobia” is a smear propaganda neologism designed to intimidate people into thinking that it is wrong to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others.

Austria: Muslim ‘asylum seekers’ make ‘playful’ mock execution video the day after Vienna jihad massacre

France: Muslim shows up at nursery to claim child named ‘Osama bin Laden,’ next day weapons are pointed at staff
“The man allegedly left laughing.” Maybe this is all he was up to: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60) “When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with […]
New ‘study’ purports to prove that ‘far-right terrorism’ is ‘bigger threat to West than Islamic State’
The Institute of Economics and Peace says that its “research is used extensively by governments, academic institutions, think tanks, non‑governmental organisations and by intergovernmental institutions such as the OECD, The Commonwealth Secretariat, the World Bank and the United Nations.” Just so you know where it’s coming from. In any case, note the sleight of hand […]
