This is long overdue. Turkey has not been behaving like an ally of the United States for a long time, without Washington taking the slightest notion of the change. There needs to be much more of holding Turkey accountable for its actions against its Christian minorities and its increasing regional adventurism. Imagine in general how […]
President Trump Puts Terrorists on Notice
When President Trump appointed former CIA director Michael Pompeo to replace Rex W. Tillerson as Secretary of State and former UN Ambassador John Bolton as his new National Security advisor, many pundits predicted that the Trump administration was serious in dealing with rogue states. Both Bolton and Pompeo had advocated that Iran and North Korea […]
Sam Harris tries to get Trump’s Twitter account banned over Iran tweet
In December 2016 I wrote a piece entitled “Sam Harris and the collapse of the counter-jihad Left,” about how Sam Harris and his close friend and collaborator Maajid Nawaz speak well about some of the problems with jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others, but object to serious and concrete steps to […]
Trump to Rouhani: “NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN”
Rouhani had said: “America should know that war with Iran is the mother of all wars.” The learned analysts are in an uproar today over Trump’s “provocative” language — as if the Iranian mullahs weren’t already provoked. They have been indulging in threatening and saber-rattling rhetoric against the United States for years. The political and […]
Iran’s Rouhani: “America should know that war with Iran is the mother of all wars”

Former UK PM David Cameron lectures Donald Trump: It is “wrong to project terrorism as Christianity-Islam clash”
Former British prime minister David Cameron said today it was wrong to project terrorism as a clash between Christianity and Islam and called for a strategy to wipe out the extremist forces. Cameron was pontificating to Donald Trump, since it “appeared to him from US President Donald Trump’s comments that he viewed terrorism as a […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Hating Lincoln
This article has nothing to do with jihad. Maybe I will establish a new website for writing that isn’t related to jihad. In the meantime, here is something different. It actually wouldn’t be hard for Trump to be more popular among Republicans than Abraham Lincoln was in his day. My latest in FrontPage: President Trump […]
Donald Trump tweets blamed for alleged spikes in anti-Muslim hate crimes
It may be a law of nature: President Trump tweets something about Islam. Anti-Muslim hate crimes follow….“Whether it’s a tweet or whether it’s in a policy (Trump is) introducing, or if it’s in a policy someone in his administration is introducing, I think it all comes together to create this kind of environment where targeting […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Left’s Trump-Putin Meltdown
Just another nail in the coffin of the Leftist establishment’s credibility. My latest in FrontPage: In a press conference with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump refused to validate the findings of a deeply corrupt and compromised intelligence community that has been working assiduously since before he was even elected to discredit and destroy him, and now […]
Video: Trump says US and Russia will maintain open communication to fight “radical Islamic terrorism”
The video of the actual press conference begins at around -28.26. For years I have called for a reconfiguration of our international alliances to create a coalition of non-Muslim states defending themselves against the global jihad. The Left, which has suddenly discovered a threat from Russia decades after the end of the Cold War, […]
