It certainly is a popular defense to pursue or explore in jihadist cases. An update on Khaled Aldawsari, who once wrote: “In the name of Allah The Beneficient, The Merciful. Nitro [urea] explosive is more powerful than T.N.T.” He also stated that he came to the United States with the intention of staging an attack. […]
French magazine that was firebombed over Muhammad cartoon hits back
Our readers won’t bomb us for posting an offensive image. Offensive, ain’t it? But freedom of speech is hollow without the possibility of offending. “Offense” is in the eye of the beholder: one day, it’s a cartoon of Muhammad. The next day, it might be denying Muhammad’s standing as a prophet as a matter of […]
Minnesota: Hamas-linked CAIR objects to description of al-Shabaab as an “Islamic extremist terrorism organization”
This is part of the Great American Islamic Interest Group Shell Game on the nature of… that thing we’re not supposed to talk about (but we do). It goes something like this, not necessarily in order. 1. Yes, we see there is a problem and we feel your pain. In fact, we’re victims here, too […]
More charges filed against anti-“Islamophobia” poster boy gone bad
Back in 2010, Naser Abdo said he wanted out of the Army in order to: “…spend his life combating what he called Islamaphobia [sic] and advocating Islam as a peaceful religion. “I want to use my experience to show Muslims how we can lead our lives,” he said. “And to try and put a good […]
Pakistan: Textbooks teach intolerance of Hindus and Christians; most teachers regard religious minorities as “enemies of Islam”
“Religious minorities are often portrayed as inferior or second-class citizens who have been granted limited rights and privileges by generous Pakistani Muslims, for which they should be grateful.” In other words, they are dhimmis, at the mercy of the whims of their overlords. Wherever a society designates second-class citizens, they are automatically and unfairly burdened […]
Awkward: Sarkozy tells Obama that Israeli PM is a “liar” with mic on, Obama complains about having to “deal with him even more”
“The technical gaffe is likely to cause great embarrassment to all three leaders as they look to work together to intensify international pressure on Iran over its nuclear ambitions.” At least with microphone gaffes from the last guy, we got the “major league” incident on the campaign trail, and better yet, the idea that Hizballah […]
Nigeria: Nearly all Christians have fled northeastern town after jihadist rampage
Jihad causes poverty. Not only are there now displaced persons, but where residents have to flee a town, they take their buying power and ability to generate wealth with them. All of this slaughter is supposed to achieve a paradise under Sharia if the jihadists can kill enough people who stand in the way. The […]
Egypt: Army threatens 34 Copts with trial in “investigation” of military’s own massacre
There is so much that is wrong with this story, starting with military trials for civilians. Even priests have been hauled in for questioning by the military. But above all, there is the enforced, concocted, “official” version of the “truth,” contradicted as it is by ample evidence, including video. The Egyptian military is showing itself […]
Iranian supreme leader calls for formation of “international Islamic power bloc”
What is the OIC, chopped liver? Or perhaps a little too Sunni for the ayatollah? In any case, delusions of grandeur abound. “Ayatollah Khamenei calls for ‘Islamic power bloc’,” from the Kashmir Times, November 5: TEHRAN, Nov 5 (Agencies): Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called on the world’s Muslim nations to form […]
Germany: Alleged recruiter for jihadist groups goes on trial
Under German privacy laws, he can only be identified by his first name and last initial. It makes for a sort of Jihadists Anonymous, in this case: Hi, Hussam! But the question that authorities are undoubtedly interested in is: who is a Friend of Hussam S.? An update on this story. “Terrorism suspect on trial […]
