New in PJ Media:
It is almost a quarter-century now since the Sept. 11, 2001 jihad attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City and Washington. Many Americans assume that the jihad threat was somehow neutralized and contained in the immediate aftermath of those attacks, such that a large-scale jihad attack can never happen again in America, and the public discourse has moved on to other issues: mass migration, skyrocketing crime in the cities, tariffs, and the like. In reality, however, the jihad against the U.S. has not ended, and in the near-quarter century since 9/11, the jihadis have made immense gains. The jihad is still being fought, and the forces of freedom aren’t winning.
The biggest victory that the jihadis won in the wake of the 9/11 attacks was to divert attention away from the ideology that motivated those attacks, and to stigmatized and demonize those who spoke honestly about that ideology. George W. Bush famously walked into a mosque six days after the attacks and proclaimed that Islam was peace; several years later, Barack Obama made that statement the official policy of the United States government, overseeing a purge of all U.S. intelligence and military training materials on counterterrorism of all mention of Islam and jihad.
Ever since then, our entire military and intelligence apparatus has been intentionally ignorant regarding the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, and this has deformed our response to it in numerous ways. Most notoriously, Bush sent American troops into Iraq and Afghanistan, fondly assuming that the people of both countries would welcome those troops as liberators, and hoping to transform both into Western-style secular republics that would become beacons of freedom and prosperity, and examples for the rest of the Islamic world to follow.
In doing this, Bush and his advisors completely disregarded both the nature of Islamic law as a political system, and the attachment that most ordinary Muslims in both countries have for that law. There was never any chance that the majority of people in either nation would accept what they considered to be a manmade system over a divine one, and Bush should have known that. Instead, the U.S. government wasted trillions and lost irreplaceable personnel and materiel, and went a long way toward one of Osama bin Laden’s main goals in mounting the 9/11 attacks in the first place: weakening America economically as a first step toward its eventual collapse.
Domestically, the unquestionable dogma that Islam was a religion of peace led to massive growth of the Islamic presence in the U.S. There were 1,209 mosques in America in 2001; by 2020, there were 2,769, and there are many more than that today. No one is concerned about this growth, any more than they would be about an increased number of churches. Yet many of these mosques have links to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is dedicated in its own words, according to a captured internal document, to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

They are winning the battle of who gets to rule mankind. But, they won’t win the war.
And no, I know not the “day and hour,” but I do know “the seasons.” And I know what Jesus said about the “sign” and the “seasons.” The “suddenness” of it will surprise everyone.

It boggles my mind that it has been so many years. I do remember it like it was yesterday.
Thank you, Mr. Spencer, for all these years of work and continuing on!

Walter Sieruk says
Let’s not give up hope. For the God of the Bible is still the God of America.
For should be obvious ,even by looking at the united States currency in the coins and paper money the words engraved and printed is “In God We Trust.”
For those three words refer to the God of the Bible and not the false god of Islam in which the Muslim terrorists place their blind and unquesting faith in.
Therefore, it needs to be made clear that the God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To uphold this claim to be valid and true , it should be revealed that through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible. Furthermore, in the glossary in the book
ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “
Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.” In conclusion the Islamic god, Allah, is not the God of the Bible.
The words in brackets are my own. Some other books that expose this little known truths are WHO IS THIS ALLAH ? by G..J.O.. Moshay also UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner and THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey . There is also PHILISTINE by Ramon Bennett and ANSWERING JIHAD by Mabeel Q

Hi .Walter, thank you for your contribution. Just a question: since when do Arab Christians use the name “Allah”when they mean the God of the Bible.
Or can anyone else answer this???
John Pepple says
Arab Christians were using the word “Allah” for God before Islam came along. Ditto for Jews living in Saudi Arabia. “Allah” is just the Arabic word of God, and Muslims don’t own it.
Walter Sieruk says
The reason for that is when spiritually and intellectually dishonest Bible translators into Arabic put the word “Allah for a for the word “God or Yahuah” as they should he done.
This terrible word substitution was probably performed because those Bible translators had the feeling that replacing the original title and Name of God for a name of an Arab pagan god would make the Arabs who had converted to Jesus have more on an easily shift to pagan religion to Christianity.. This the reason why so many Arab Christians use the word “Allah.” Having a compromise of the Bible is not good. at al
In addition to make matters even worse, in this century some so -called “Bible translators ” are going even further into the blasphemy of apostasy by making up very twisted and warped “version” of the Bible to compromise with the doctrines of Islam. For example, some new “Bible’s” use the “God and the messenger ‘ instead of the original ,as it should read “God and His Son Jesus.
,
The creation Islamitized Bible is a sin and it’s outright unconscionable.
ploome says
Who is winning the war?
Do we have more influence and presence in the ummah, or do muslims have more influence and presence in the west? ” Pew Research Center has established in their 2017 study that the American Muslim community continues to expand due largely to immigration and a higher fertility rate. Pew estimated that the Muslim population grew by 26% from 2010 to 2017 which corresponds nicely with the 31% increase in mosques from 2010 to 2020.”
Does the ummah censor criticism of Judaism and Christianity or do we censor criticism of islam?
” In 2020, the US Mosque Survey counted 2769 mosques, which is a 31% increase from the 2010 count of 2106 mosques. ” How many Churches and Synagogues and Hindu Temples have been established in islam majority countries?
…..Does the “west” know it is in a war?
Billy says
Islam and its Muslims will continue winning against Non-Muslims because of our corrupt Western leaders, but Jesus Christ, the LORD GOD of Israel, will destroy the Islamic Caliphate Beast upon his return to save his people Israel and Christian believers as revealed in the Scriptures.
ISLAM IS ANTICHRIST, AHISTORICAL, FALLACIOUS, DECEITFUL, AND POLITICAL against the USA Constitution to conquer and to subjugate Non-Muslims via a MUSLIM-TERRORIST-CRIMINAL-GANG ENTERPRISE using ISLAMIC LAW(SHARIA) and using CONTINUOUS, TERROR PROPAGANDA(Quran 3:28, 54; 7:99; 8:30, 16:106, etc.). Islam is a delusional fraud because there is NO MECCA, NO MUHAMMAD, and NO QURAN in the 7th century AD in Saudi Arabia despite the Muslim Standard Islamic Narrative(SIN) claims; the Deceitful House of Islam is falling. Thus, Islam is a FACTITIOUS IDEOLOGY and CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION despicably fabricated over time into the 21sth century, and there is NO PEACE only genocidal obliteration with Islam and its deceitful Muslims(Quran 8:39: 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). Allah in Quran 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels[Non-Muslims] were your obvious enemies.”
Walter Sieruk says
America and the Americans should win this war which Islamic enemy started on September 11,th 2001 when Muslim terrorists viciously and murderously engaged in their evil jihad attacks on that specific day.
Later , during the night of 9/11 President Bush on television ,rightly declared “We will never tire, we will never falter , we will never fail.”
Therefore we ,as American citizens, should do our part be aware of our surrounding and be on the lookout for anything seems wrong are out of place. As in “What’s wrong with this picture?” Then if something wrong is seen we then should go and inform police officer about it.
As it has been said “If you see something, say something.” To put this another way, the wisdom found in the words of Thomas Jefferson apply now even more than they did in Mr. Jefferson’s own time.
For this former US President had, wisely, written, “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”
gravenimage says
Sadly, President Bush–who I like in many ways–also mistakenly said that Islam is a relgiom of peace.
Mickey Davis says
Bush was paid very well to believe its peace. Pay me enough and I’ll believe it too.
gravenimage says
I think Bush–foolishly–believed what he heard from supposedly trustworthy Muslim scholars.
And if you can be bought to laud Islam I am sorry to hear it.
jerry glenn says
He was just listening to the idiots in the State Department bureaucracy.
Walter Sieruk says
Yes, that is sadly so , Bush did say that “Islam is a religion of peace.” For ,when in Office, he was both a President and a politician.He might have felt that he had to say that false statement of pure balderdash in order to keep the leaders of Islamic countries on the side of America.
George Bush ,like many other men at some times speak the truth , as when he declared “We will never tire, we will never falter , we will never fail.” by contrast ,other times make completely false utterances. as Islam is a peaceful religion.”
Rufolino says
Doesn’t apply to the United Kingdom. Because if you “see something wrong and inform a police officer about it”, you now could be arrested.
rubiconcrest says
Bush mischaracterized Islam when he declared, “Islam is a religion of peace,” as the world watched. In doing so, he misled billions and set the stage for policies that gave political Islam one of its greatest victories. Twenty-four years later, he has never corrected the record.
We are left to conclude that he either refuses to acknowledge his mistake—or still does not see it. That makes him not just wrong, but potentially dangerous to the republic. Maybe he’s saving his retraction for the 25th anniversary. Any takers?
Walter Sieruk says
Yes Bush definitely was wrong when he declared that “Islam is a religion of peace.” When he said that statement he was either terribly misinformed and ignorant about the violent and death inflecting religion ,or he know better but was playing politics with the Islamic nations.
Either way what he said a falsehood of a statement. So shame and dishonor onto Bush for speaking that false utterance.
Nevertheless, the other time he was right when is said “We will never tire, we will never falter , we will never fail.” Quoting Bush on that is the same idea of the ancient Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius. , when he wrote that “I’m very willing to give a good quote from a bad man”

Twenty-Four Years After 9/11, Who Is Winning the War?
………………………………………
We should not even have to ask this question–but sadly, it is not at all clear. It was after 9/11 that I really started to study Islam–but all too many here seem to have retreated into willful ignorance, instead.
Cynthia says
Islam is working hand in hand with Russia and China to destroy us from within. They use our freedom of speech to infiltrate social media, our universities and the leftist useful idiots. Then, the MSM lazily laps up the propaganda.
Tim gallagher says
I think that islam is winning the war and what a hideous, extremely dark, dark ages it will be if the evil, barbaric load of filth, Islam ends up winning. I hope that enough non Muslims wake up and our societies treat evil, inhumane Islam the way it deserves to be treated, that is with no tolerance whatsoever. I see Hungary, Poland and the Czech republic as shining lights and I do suspect that Japan would not let many Muslims in I hope far more people wake and Islam and it’s barbaric followers get smashed. Life would be horrendous if Islam ends up triumphant.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I don’t see any battlefields where islam is losing the war. Except maybe Burma, China, Hungary and Poland.
Rick Gordon says
Unfortunately I fear that Islam is winning. As I read recently many if not most westerners believe that these people are just like us and treasure life and their future. It’s clear to me that a sizable number do not – and they are taught on a daily basis to hate western civilization. The US leadership from 2008 and 2020 don’t understand the ‘war’ mankind is engaged in – and if you don’t understand your enemies you are doomed.
Lizabee says
Bin Laden won.
Then after the jihadi attack of 9/11, people were guilted or censored into not criticizing the ideology because NOT all Muslims are terrorists and Islam is a religion of peace…which is disinformation per Bush. Now we hear the labels of “Islamists” and “Islamism” as if to differentiate the “radicals” from Muslims as if they are different sects of the same ideology. (That must be a Western invention). That deception (taqiyya) allows the growth of the anti-West Islamic colonies and increased Mosque headquarters in the country where the “Islamists” inevitably take over and help their fellow Muslim/Islamists get into political offices like Congress and Mayors of cities in the next step of establishing enclaves of Sharia Law. We already had our first Muslim POTUS, Obama, who facilitated the Islamic colonization of America.
Derek says
Dear Robert,
As always – a well written article.
It is clear that for almost 150 years, the kaffirs have themselves conjured up narrative that Islam is not to be fought but managed to fight kaffir’s wars, or to be used as vote banks to win elections.
The jihadis are having a home run as a result. If this continues, the jihadi takeover and resulting destruction of a sane world is a mathematical certainty.
OLD GUY says
We as a people and citizens can not do much to stop this when our political leaders are endorsing Islam as a religion of peace and have the media as backup. Freedom of speech is one of the great things about America, Migration of Islam that wants to destroy America is something all together different. We should STOP all migration, and close our borders to muslim/islamic people. Revoke citizenship and deport all muslims who are not natural born citizens. Islam should be treated just like the KKK or another hate groups. Close all mosque and carefully monitor followers of Islam for anti-American activities.
I’m sorry but these Islamic followers are NOT welcome in America.
Kindal Banwart says
I think that with new administration with TRUMP at the helm will limit the amount of jihad terror strikes
Stop the ridiculous idea that this is a mental illness but a political theology and death cult. This means for our country I feel things will be exposed and funding terror regimes will drop. Such as PA.
All around things should improve but it will take time and education for people to understand what we are really dealing with. I feel strongly that Israel is overwhelmingly winning the war against HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH. I THANK GOD FOR HIS INTERVENTION TOO. TRUMP made the right move on Iran . I pray this continues to be the necessary outcome when we see JIHAD STATES CONTINUE TO TERRORIZE ANYONE. Europe and UK are barely surviving and if the US doesn’t wake up and cast out these radical infiltrators then we will be very sorry. Thank you for all your contributions to awareness and bold action

Troybeam says
Long before the 9/11 attack on our nation the rules and laws of our immigration were changed. 1952, immigration law stated Islam could not enter into America because back then the elected officials understood it was and is a theocracy operating under a foreign government called sharia law applied to Muslims only.
As time went by the liberals changed said law to accept Islam as a religion giving it the new status it came into America, expanded slowly till later years. Even after the 9/11 attack it remained because liberals said terrorist ran those planes into the buildings and hijacked all the planes.
What we have today belongs on the shoulders of our liberal elected officials dead or alive. These people have protected and allowed Islam to prosper in America and now after the Oct. 2023 attack in Israel Islam is out there demanding AMERICANS bow to sharia law because they now think they have the upper hand.
Islam is trying really hard to win but in order to beat this all of America needs to wake up to protect our nation. First step: stop electing Muslims to political office. Second speak up, write to your elected officials in every state where you live. Make your voice heard and remember Islam will state its a religion but the truth is in the demand for sharia law: Reliance of the Traveller chapter o9.0, titled Jihad. read it.
