Robert Spencer: U.S. Army Equates Catholicism and Evangelical Christianity with al-Qaeda and Hamas
At FrontPage this morning I discuss a bizarre new Army training brief: Fox News reported last week that “the U.S. Army listed Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as examples of religious extremism along with Al Qaeda and Hamas during a briefing with an Army Reserve unit based in Pennsylvania”¦.The incident occurred during an Army Reserve Equal […]
U.S. Army lists Evangelical Christianity, Catholicism, and “Islamophobia” as forms of “Religious Extremism” with Al-Qaeda and Hamas
This is the politically manipulative and ridiculous nonsense that has replaced truthful information about Islam and jihad. And the implications of it are quite ominous. Evangelical Christianity, Catholicism and “Islamophobia” are forms of “Religion Extremism” on par with al-Qaeda and Hamas? Then how long will it be before the Obama Administration goes to war against […]

Obama State Department moves to strike U.S. citizens’ suit challenging aid to “Palestinians”
One thing you have to give Obama: he’s consistent. Consistent in his support for the Palestinian jihadists, despite their unwavering and open commitment to the total destruction of Israel and the imposition of Sharia in “Palestine.” “Department of State moves to strike American citizens’ suit challenging aid to the Palestinians,” from Shurat HaDin Israel Law […]

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood blasts U.S. criticism of restrictions on free speech
The Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party is almost certainly aware that the Obama Administration’s complaints about their actions against the freedom of speech are staggeringly hypocritical in light of its own manifest opposition to the freedom of speech. And the Egyptian ruling party is beyond any doubt aware that they can do whatever they […]
Staggering hypocrisy: Obama Administration accuses Egypt of stifling freedom of expression
Now wait a minute. Remember that in 2011, the UN Human Rights Council adopted Resolution 16/18, with the support of the Obama administration. It called upon Western states to pass laws that would criminalize “defamation of religion” — i.e., criticism of Islam. Remember also that right after the Benghazi jihad massacre, Secretary of State Hillary […]
What the U.S. should say to Afghanistan
If we had a real President, he would call Karzai, sing him this song, and get our troops out of there.
Obama blocking “ethical alternative to importing oil from regimes such as Saudi Arabia”
Obama’s trip to Israel was a disaster, as he strong-armed Netanyahu into apologizing for Israel’s defensive action against the Mavi Marmara jihad flotilla (which apology Al Jazeera — as noted below — happily characterized as “normalizing” ties between Israel and Turkey). And comparison of Israeli/”Palestinian” relations to those between the U.S. and Canada was simply […]
