There are just too many people like this for authorities to keep track of, and that has been the Islamic State’s explicit strategy for years: to overwhelm Western law enforcement and intelligence officials with so many attacks and plots that they can’t keep up and ultimately collapse under the pressure. This strategy is detailed in […]

Chutzpah: Palestinians Prepare List of Demands For Biden Administration
The Palestinian Arabs sense an opening for them in Biden’s Washington, where they rightly assume they will be personae gratae again. They have already been preparing their laundry list of demands for the Biden Administration, which is discussed here: “PA wants Biden to reverse ‘anti-Palestinian’ decisions,” by Khaled Abu Toameh, Jerusalem Post, November 22, 2020: […]
UK: Muslim jailed for encouraging jihad massacres had attended ‘deradicalization’ program
Deradicalization programs are an abysmal failure everywhere they have been implemented. From the Jihad Watch archives: Austria: Vienna jihad murderer had gone to deradicalization program, was not considered a terror threat UK: Libyan migrant who went on stabbing spree in Reading was in government deradicalization program UK: London jihadi stabbed man at deradicalization event, victim’s […]
Iran on Israeli airstrikes in Syria: ‘The Zionist regime is well aware that the era of hit and run is over’
That is, Biden is coming, and so now Israel will lose its greatest ally, and the Islamic Republic of Iran will be saved and newly enabled to finance jihad terrorism worldwide. “Iran vows ‘crushing response’ to Israeli ‘disruption’ of its presence in Syria,” JNS, November 22, 2020 (thanks to Henry): (November 22, 2020 / JNS) […]

Georgetown Features Academic Who Likens Austrian Counter-Terror Measures to Kristallnacht
My latest in PJ Media: In the wake of the recent jihad attack in Vienna, Austrian authorities are cracking down on Muslim organizations that have been discovered to be exhorting or approving of jihad terror activity – and Georgetown University’s Hamas-linked Bridge Initiative is not happy. On Thursday, it published a weepy self-pitying piece entitled […]
Netanyahu: ‘There can be no going back to the previous nuclear agreement’ with Iran, in apparent appeal to Biden
This is virtually certain to fall on deaf ears. The foreign policy establishment will be fully back in the saddle, and that means more empowering of America’s enemies and abandoning of its allies. “Netanyahu warns against reengaging with Iran, in apparent message to Biden,” Times of Israel, November 22, 2020: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in […]
Pakistan: Muslim death squads hunt for 14-year-old Christian girl who fled forced marriage to her Muslim kidnapper
She is appealing for asylum in the UK, which may not be the best idea, as it is filled with people who believe the same things as those who are hunting for her believe. “Christian girl, 14, is being threatened by Islamist death squads in Pakistan for fleeing forced marriage to Muslim man, 45 – […]
Philippines: Islamic scholars invoke the Qur’an in opposing law forbidding child marriage
No surprise here. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry. “Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq […]
Biden names ‘Palestinian’ who justified jihad suicide bombings as deputy director of Office of Legislative Affairs
Not a good sign for future U.S. relations with Israel. But this is also a sign of how topsy-turvy the world is today. Biden wouldn’t be caught dead naming someone who had noted that Islam is not a religion of peace to any position at all in his administration. Such a person would be poison […]
