Under Biden, the Middle East is as turbulent as ever, with the Islamic State rising once again in Iraq and rogue Iran viewing a Biden administration as a pushover. Bad news for Western interests, and it’s likely to get worse. “High-level Iraqi delegation in Iran to talk trade, Soleimani,” by Maziar Motamedi, Al Jazeera, February […]
A Final Word On Trump’s ‘Muslim Ban’
As promised, President Biden by Executive Order has undone what has become universally known as the “Muslim Ban.” This has been reported on as an event that should cause all right-minded people to share in the “joy and relief” of Muslims everywhere. Here is one of those reports: Muslim, African and Arab Americans and civil […]
New York Times Details Horrors of Trump’s ‘Muslim Ban,’ Ignores Victims of Jihad Attacks
My latest in PJ Media: The New York Times story opens with a scene of unmitigated horror: “On May 30, 2019, Mohamed Abdulrahman Ahmed should have been in class preparing for exams. Instead, neighbors found the gifted high school senior hanging lifeless from a beam in his home in the Dadaab refugee camp in northeastern Kenya. […]
Leading Turkish Journalist: Trump Undone by Jewish Conspiracy and Coup
“A Trumpist coup or coup against Trump?,” was the headline to the article by Yusuf Kaplan, a leading Turkish journalist, that appeared in the newpaper Yeni Safak, which is President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s house organ, on January 10, 2021. A brief previous Jihad Watch report on Kaplan’s conspiracy theorizing is here. Kaplan’s column is here. […]
New York Times: “The ‘Muslim Ban’ Is Over. The Harm Lives On.”
The New York Times here gives us the predictable sob story about how hard the residents of Dadaab have had it since they have been unable to come to America. One is moved to tears, but rationally, there are people who are having hard times all over the world. In fact, there are even people […]
Khamenei posts photo of Trump playing golf in drone’s shadow, vows ‘Revenge is Definite’
Twitter banned the Khamenei account that posted this, although his main account still remains. If the Iranians manage to follow through on this threat, Leftists all over the United States will cheer. This is revealing in all sorts of ways, but of course no one in the establishment media will stop cheering long enough to […]
The Establishment Wants You to Know Trump Is Just Like Bin Laden
The powers-that-be have sent out their talking points, and now the Propaganda Ministry is pulling out all the stops to propagate them among Americans. My latest in American Greatness: No one knows where these talking points come from, but it’s quite clear where they’re going. The political and media elites have wholeheartedly embraced the […]
Leftist American Prof Denounces Trump for State-Controlled Iranian News Agency
My latest in PJ Media: Back during the Cold War, the Soviets would occasionally trot out American defectors who would denounce capitalism and imperialism and sing the praises of Marx and Lenin. In 1960, for example, NSA cryptologists William Martin and Bernon Mitchell held a press conference to explain their defection and proclaim: “Perhaps […]
Retired Army general likens Trump supporters to al-Qaeda, says both had ‘leader’ who ‘justified their violence’
This is an out-and-out lie, as Trump didn’t justify any violence. Those who hear McChrystal should also consider the source, as McChrystal is a part of the military establishment that is enraged at Trump for trying to stop America’s endless, pointless, self-defeating adventurism. This is also a narrative that the Leftist establishment has adopted, likely […]
On last full day in office, Trump administration declared China’s persecution of Uyghur Muslims ‘genocide’
Although the Trump administration is over, it has set a precedent by declaring China’s treatment of the Uyghur Muslims to be “genocide.” Let’s hope the Biden administration doesn’t cancel this designation. Foreign Policy published an article in December: “In Rare Unanimity, Biden Could Double Down on Trump’s Uighur Sanctions.” It is peculiar is that there […]
