One of them is living in a fantasy world, and one of them is working on the plane of reality. “Theresa May praises the ‘fantastic contribution’ made by immigrants as she dismisses Trump’s claims Britain is ‘losing its culture’ because of the influx,” by Iain Burns and Kate Ferguson, Mailonline, July 13, 2018: Theresa May […]
UN rejects Trump’s choice to head UN’s International Organization for Migration
Ken Isaacs “faced serious charges of anti-Muslim bigotry.” Among them: “Isaacs published numerous tweets describing Islam as an inherently violent religion, including one after the 2016 attack in the French city of Nice that said ‘Islam is not peaceful’. He has also retweeted xenophobic material, such as a post last year from Robert Spencer, the […]
Iran: “Death to Khamenei” chants ring out on fourth day of protests against the Islamic regime
Iranians entered the fourth day of protests on Wednesday after the rial hit a record low of 90,000 rials to one U.S. dollar on Sunday The notorious “Death to America” chants of the Iranian regime and its supporters have given way to widespread “Death to Khamenei” chants. All this shows yet again that appeasement of […]
CNN on upholding of travel ban: “Roberts treats Trump like a normal President. Sotomayor says no way.”
The main problem with this is that Trump is a normal President. He is the only President we have, and U.S. law grants the President broad authority to ban groups of people from the country, as Roberts notes. The law makes no exception for Presidents who say things about immigration that Supreme Court justices or […]
Trump puts America first, distances US from jihad-supporting United Nations
Kudos to Trump for “putting America first” and the UN “as a distant second.” Not only has the Human Rights Council become “a cesspool of political bias,” that bias is toward Islamic states that adhere to the sharia and their allies, as is evident in the constant Israel-bashing, while the worst human rights-abusing states are […]
Trump withdrawing US from UN Human Rights Council over its “relentless, pathological campaign” against Israel
Bravo. Long overdue. At last, an administration that doesn’t respect the polite fiction that the UN is a neutral arbiter. Next step should be withdrawal from the UN altogether, and its expulsion from New York City. “Trump administration withdrawing from UN Human Rights Council,” by Andrew O’Reilly, Fox News, June 19, 2018: The Trump administration […]
Trump excluded Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups from Iftar at White House
In Jihad Watch’s coverage of Donald Trump’s welcoming Muslims to the White House for a Ramadan Iftar dinner, Robert Spencer indicated that Trump’s statement about Ramadan’s message of “timeless message of peace, clarity [sic], and love” was a “dispiriting reiteration of the fantasies that prevailed in Washington during the three administrations (at least) that preceded […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Ramadan 2018 Death Toll So Far: 532
The actual title of this piece at PJ Media is “Ramadan 2018 Death Toll So Far: 355.” That’s because there have been 177 more jihad murders in just the several days since I wrote it. As of the eighteenth day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan this year, the jihad death toll is 355 […]
Iftar 2018: Get Me Rewrite
For some reason Donald Trump thought he should hold an Iftar dinner this year. He didn’t hold one last year, and contrary to some predictions at the time, the sky did not fall. No doubt his advisers thought this would be a suitable way to show goodwill toward Muslims. But some American Muslim groups — […]
Trump, at White House Iftar, hails Ramadan’s “timeless message of peace, clarity, and love”
“Clarity,” really? Not “charity”? The White House website says “clarity,” so that’s that. Anyway, a jihad group explained Ramadan this way back in 2012: “The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their […]
