This jihadist recruitment network is led by a former Guantanamo Bay inmate. And so yet again we see the folly of the Obama policy of emptying out Gitmo while doing nothing to protect non-Muslims from the jihad that these men were certain to return to waging. “Spain raids jihadist cell ‘led by ex-Guantanamo inmate,’” AFP, […]
Obama to free Gitmo jihad terrorist because “he took up yoga and read a biography of the Dalai Lama”
Essentially this amounts to freeing jihad terrorists who are determined to kill Americans and sending them back to a place where they can kill Americans, with no consequences and no supervision. What could possibly go wrong? “Obama to free Gitmo terrorist ‘because he took up yoga,’” by Paul Sperry, New York Post, June 7, 2014: […]
Obama passed up chances to rescue Bergdahl because he wanted prisoner trade to empty Gitmo
Placing his political agenda above the lives of those Americans who are going to be killed in Afghanistan by these freed Gitmo detainees. Placing his political agenda above the lives of those Americans who were killed searching for the traitor and deserter Bergdahl. Placing his political agenda yet again above national security. One might almost […]
Former Guantanamo detainee implicated in Benghazi attack
Will the hard-Left lawyer Clive Stafford-Smith, who assured authorities that other Gitmo detainees deemed dangerous were actually harmless, have any comment on this? (I knew Clive slightly when we were both students at the University of North Carolina; Clive, if you’re reading this, send me an email at director[at]jihadwatch.org: I’d love to interview you about Abu […]
Bahrain: Two former Guantanamo detainees arrested for plotting jihad terror attacks
Still more Gitmo recidivism. And why not? Nothing is done at Guantanamo to disabuse detainees of their jihadi beliefs. “2 former Guantanamo Bay detainees arrested at Bahrain’s border,” from the Associated Press, November 24: MANAMA, Bahrain — Authorities in Bahrain say two former Guantanamo Bay detainees have been arrested while crossing the border from Saudi […]
Karzai demands release of Afghan jihadis from Gitmo before he will sign deal with U.S.
Don’t sign, Hamid! Don’t sign! Tell the Americans to get out! “Karzai Adds to Demands on U.S. in Meeting With Susan Rice,” by Gopal Ratnam and Eltaf Najafizada for Bloomberg, November 25 (thanks to Lookmann): Afghan President Hamid Karzai added to the demands he said must be met before he”ll sign an agreement permitting some […]
Your tax dollars at work: U.S. spends millions on landscaping, art classes for jihad terror detainees at Gitmo
Gitmo lunch — torture! Torture! “Gitmo good life: U.S. spends millions on landscaping, art classes for terror detainees,” by Jim McElhatton for the Washington Times, November 18 (thanks to Kenneth): Thanks to a multimillion-dollar federal contract, Guantanamo Bay prisoners can enroll in seminars to learn all about basic landscaping and pruning, calligraphy and Microsoft PowerPoint […]
Obama to free Gitmo jihadists who undergo “instruction in a peaceful form of Islam”
Which form is that? Jihad warfare against unbelievers is taught by all four major schools of Sunni jurisprudence. Shafi’i school: A Shafi’i manual of Islamic law that was certified in 1991 by the clerics at Al-Azhar University, one of the leading authorities in the Islamic world, as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy, stipulates about […]
Jihadist freed from Guantanamo after convincing officials he was no longer a threat is killed waging jihad in Syria
This is no surprise. Our officials have been barred from learning anything accurate about Islam or jihad. So they have no viable way to evaluate these Guantanamo inmates. We will see yet more of this. “Terrorist released from Guantanamo Bay after convincing officials he was no longer a threat to the West is killed fighting […]
29% of released Guantanamo detainees have returned to jihad
And why not? Nothing is done at Guantanamo to make them change their views on anything. Guards handle the Qur’an with gloves to avoid offending the Muslims who believe that infidels are too unclean to touch it. The puzzle here is why the percentage is so low. “More Former Guantanamo Bay Detainees Return To Terrorism,” […]
