This will, of course, encourage more hostage-taking. At a time when European governments have funneled tens of millions of dollars in ransoms to jihad groups, essentially financing their operations, that is hardly wise. “White House says more than 30 Americans held hostage abroad,” by Jeremy Diamond and Sunlen Serfaty, CNN, June 24, 2015: Washington (CNN)The […]
Obama Administration says Iran’s chants of “Death to America” are “not helpful,” but won’t have impact on nuke talks
Of course. Why should they? Just because they want to destroy us doesn’t mean that they won’t sit down and come to a mutually beneficial negotiated settlement with us, does it? Does it?
Obama laments “distorted impression” many Americans have of Muslims
Obama said: “Here in America, many people personally don’t know someone who is Muslim. They mostly hear about Muslims in the news — and that can obviously lead to a very distorted impression.” The idea that Americans have a “distorted impression” of Muslims because they don’t know any Muslims personally is a condescending talking point […]
Egypt summons U.S. ambassador over DC Muslim Brotherhood meetings
The Egyptian government is understandably annoyed over Obama’s continuing support for the Muslim Brotherhood. “Egypt summons U.S. ambassador over Muslim Brotherhood,” by Arshad Mohammed, Reuters, June 8, 2015: WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Egypt summoned the U.S. ambassador in Cairo to show displeasure at Muslim Brotherhood figures coming to Washington for a private conference, sources familiar with […]
Obama still secretly backing Muslim Brotherhood as “moderate” alternative to Islamic State and al-Qaeda
The Islamic State, al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood all share the same goal: the imposition of Sharia over as much territory as possible, and ultimately over the whole world. But the Muslim Brotherhood is not working toward this goal with overt violence (except when it is), and so as far as Obama is concerned, it […]
‘The Butterfly Effect’ – Obama, Climate Change, and Islam’s War against the World
If even the wings of a butterfly have weight and shared causality, then what of the teachings and example of a seventh century desert prophet?
Democrat Senators urge Obama to “dramatically increase” Muslim refugee flow to US
What could possibly go wrong? How about this: “FBI counter-terrorism experts…have openly admitted it is virtually impossible to screen Syrian refugees.” And remember, that is Obama’s clueless and politically correct FBI, and they’re still acknowledging something that their Chief has never admitted and would not be disposed to admit. “Democrats call for ‘flood’ of Muslims […]
Robert Spencer, PJM: Obama: Climate Change Causes Jihad
Over at PJ Media I discuss the recent appalling and fact-free statements by Obama: State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf was widely ridiculed in February for saying of the Islamic State (ISIS): We cannot win this war by killing them, we cannot kill our way out of this war. We need, in the longer term, […]
Obama’s Policies to Empower ISIS Exposed
For months, many Western observers have been closely following the minute-by-minute developments concerning the battle between Islamic State and coalition forces in the hopes that such data will help them discern what the future may hold. Yet knowledge of the end game has been available for anyone viewing the Obama administration with the eyes of […]
Obama: “I don’t think we’re losing” fight against the Islamic State
He won’t name the enemy. He won’t allow his intelligence services to study its ideology. His Pentagon releases falsified maps that obscure the enemy’s gains. The enemy captures a city that has been called the key to controlling all of Iraq (Ramadi) and an renowned archaeological treasure (Palmyra in Syria) in a single week, and […]
