The Orthodox Christian Church, which is reclaiming its traditional role in post-Soviet Russia, has just described its government’s fight against the Islamic State and other jihadi groups in Syria as a “holy war.” According to Vsevolod Chaplin, head of the Church’s Public Affairs Department, The fight with terrorism is a holy battle and today our […]
Islamic State jihadi child demands Obama “pay the jizya in submission” or else jihadis will cut his “filthy head”
“Fight against those who do not obey Allah and his messenger, and do not forbid what he has forbidden, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29) Ibn Juzayy says that this verse is “a command to fight the […]
Argentine President: Obama Administration tried to convince us to give Iran nuclear fuel
“Kirchner went on to say at the U.N. that when Samore was asked to provide the request in writing, all communications immediately ceased and Samore disappeared.” The Obama people knew that what they were doing was wrong, and would be hated by the American people. “Argentine President: Obama Administration Tried To Convince Us To Give […]
Cameron to “Barack”: “Every religion has its extremists, but…biggest problem…is the Islamist extremist violence”
When you’re too politically correct even for a self-deluded and compromised dhimmi such as David Cameron, you’ve really gone round the bend. “Barack,” said Cameron chummily, “you are quite right, that every religion has its extremists, but we have to be frank that the biggest problem we have today is the Islamist extremist violence that […]
The Tables of Our Enemies
“…by defining modernity, progress, trade, consumption, and even pleasure as Western assaults on Islam, al-Qaeda left little on the table for themselves.” –Lawrence Wright, from The Looming Tower (al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11) In their book Kingmakers, Karl E. Meyer and Shareen Blair Brysac refer to a certain William Gifford Palgrave and his warning, […]

“Of the 1,519 with terrorist associations, 627 provided material support, ‘while under duress,’ to undesignated terrorist groups. Another 189 provided material support, ‘while under duress,’ to designated terrorist groups. Designated terrorist groups are the most dangerous.

Obama serves up cliches and falsehoods as his anti-ISIS strategy
Over at PamelaGeller.com I dissected Obama’s grand strategy for defeating the Islamic State. Platitudes, self-righteousness, distortions, tortured reasoning, self-promotion — that’s right, it’s another major speech by Barack Obama. Comments interspersed below. “Remarks by President Obama at the Leaders’ Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism,” United Nations Headquarters, September 29, 2015: PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Putin Bests Obama in UN Showdown on Syria
In PJ Media today, I discuss how, at the UN yesterday, Obama tripled down on his politically correct Mideast fantasies, while Putin correctly analyzed the Islamic State and Assad. Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin both spoke at the United Nations on Monday, with Putin reiterating a call he made in September for an international coalition […]
Video: Obama calls for “rejection by non-Muslims of the ignorance that equates Islam with terror”
OK, great. But what about the Muslims who equate Islam with terror? Obama called on Muslims to reject “those who distort Islam to preach intolerance and promote violence.” So when he is going to call upon mosques and Muslim organizations in the U.S. to back up their condemnations of the Islamic State with genuine programs […]
New U.S. Army patch for fight against the Islamic State closely resembles Muslim Brotherhood logo
That’s fitting in Barack Obama’s America, since he so indefatigably aided the Brotherhood when they took power in Egypt and continued to do so even after they were toppled, and since the Brotherhood is a chief competitor to the Islamic State in wanting to establish a caliphate of its own. It’s also a fitting symbol […]
