The New York Times describes Ali Kourani as a “Lebanese immigrant,” for an audience that believes Donald Trump is a new Hitler for wanting to restrict mass immigration. The New York Times wants you to think Kourani’s sentencing was unjust. Emily Palmer of the Times mentions in passing, but doesn’t bother to give you full […]
Gideon Rachman and the Financial Times On “Suspicion and Hatred of the Muslim World”
Gideon Rachman, a columnist for the Financial Times, is horrified at the “suspicion and hatred” of the Muslim world that, he claims, has not abated since September 11, 2001. Under the title “Islamophobia and the new clash of civilisations,” he delivered himself of some thoughts on how the “Muslim and non-Muslim worlds are becoming increasingly […]
“Journalist” Claire Goforth obscures who was shooting at whom in jihad attack on Muhammad cartoon contest
Fascist “journalist” Claire Goforth, about whom I wrote previously here, apparently can’t stand the idea of dissenters from the far-Left agenda being allowed to state their positions in the public forum, and receiving funding from supporters. But in this lengthy hit piece on Laura Loomer and those who allegedly fund her campaign for Congress, Goforth […]
University of Florida Prof Hails Caliphate as ‘Historic Institution’ That ISIS Is ‘Hijacking’
My latest in PJ Media: University of Florida professor Ken Chitwood wrote Wednesday in the Associated Press’ commentary section, “The Conversation,” that “the Islamic State tries to boost its legitimacy by hijacking a historic institution.” He then provided a drive-by overview of the history of various Islamic caliphates, so whitewashed as to rival the Washington […]
New York Times called Baghdadi a “terrorist,” but scrubs “terror” from article about killing of “Palestinian” jihadi
Why? Because terrorism against Israeli civilians is just fine with the New York Times, which has demonized Israel and whitewashed the jihad for years. “New York Times Scrubs ‘Terror’ from Islamic Jihad Story,” by Gilead Ini, CAMERA, November 12, 2019: Abu Bakr al Baghdadi was a “terrorist” who led a “terrorist group” that committed “acts […]
U of Florida prof: “Islamic State tries to boost its legitimacy by hijacking a historic institution,” the caliphate
“Under Umar, the caliphate expanded to include many regions of the world such as the lands of the former Byzantine and Sassanian empires in Asia Minor, Persia and Central Asia.” Yeah, how exactly did that “expansion” occur? In reality, beyond the pseudo-academic whitewash and fantasy below, the caliphates always behaved much like the Islamic State, […]
ISIS Bride Who Wanted to ‘Spill Blood’ of Americans Pleads to Return: ‘I Want to Have My Own Car’
My latest at PJ Media: NBC News wants you to pity Hoda Muthana, and who are you, O mortal, to answer back to NBC News? Hoda is a simple, down-to-earth, hijab-wearing Alabama gal who decided one day to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State (ISIS). But hey, everyone makes mistakes, right? “I want […]
Al-Baghdadi Dead, Leftists Crestfallen
A hero of the Left has passed away. My latest in FrontPage: Just in time for Halloween, one of the most famous undead people in the world, the Islamic State (ISIS) caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been reported dead yet again, and this time it actually appears to be true. President Trump announced the news […]
Austere Religious Scholar or Muslim Master of Mayhem? Or Both?
The Washington Post has unwittingly demonstrated the truth that Islam is not a religion of peace, a message it has been loath to acknowledge. On Sunday, it carried the obituary of self-styled ISIS Caliph Ibrahim, also known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, under this original headline: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Islamic State’s ‘terrorist-in-chief,’ dies at 48. Inexplicably, […]
Washington Post hails al-Baghdadi as “austere religious scholar”
The Washington Post has now changed this headline, apparently after receiving torrents of ridicule for it, but consider this: imagine if a prominent foe of jihad terror died, and the Washington Post was writing about his death. Imagine that this individual had never called for or condoned any violence, much less terrorism, and had stood […]
