Now that the allegations of immigration fraud against Rep. Ilhan Omar have entered the mainstream, although she steadfastly refuses to address them, it is important to remember that these charges are not the only reason why she causes concern.

CNN hits Jihad Watch for publishing “content critical of Islam”
Within the space of two days, Jihad Watch has been hit by both CNN and the New York Times. I’m both amazed and amused that these media giants are so deeply threatened by this modest website, but the fact that they are is yet another indication that the establishment media sees one of its primary […]
Afghanistan: Taliban say they’ll target radio and TV stations that broadcast anti-Taliban announcements
If they want favorable media coverage, the Taliban should just move to Europe or the U.S. There the establishment media would fawn all over them and always give their point of view without room for dissent or rebuttal. “Taliban threaten Afghan media, say reporters to be targeted,” Associated Press, June 24, 2019: The Taliban have […]
UK: Police finally arrest 44 rape gang members 17 years after their crimes
What took them so long? They were probably paralyzed by fear of charges of “Islamophobia.” Remember: in Rotherham, British officials “described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.” Note also that the Daily Mail gives no […]
Washington Post laments that jihad murders of Scandinavian hikers were “seized on by the far right to attack Islam”
What is wrong with these people? Have they lost all moral compass, all human compassion, all sense of decency? If this were a sane world, the Washington Post would close its doors in shame for publishing this, and Greg Miller and Souad Mekhennet would be looking for work at the local 7-Eleven (no offense intended […]

Herndon, titled, “‘These People Aren’t Coming From Norway’: Refugees […]
Arab News on Robert Spencer: Standing for equality of rights for all makes him a “notorious extremist”
Here is one from the Department of Corrections. Muddassar Ahmed, an advisory council member at the Atlantic Council in Washington writing in the Arab News, says I am “the notorious extremist banned by the UK government since 2013.” This kind of defamation is nothing new, and ordinarily I ignore it, but I thought I’d state […]
Craig Hicks Sentenced to Life for Killing Three Neighbors (Part 2)
The campaign by Muslims to rewrite Hicks’s history, to de-emphasize his obsessing over parking and noise and to claim, without the slightest evidence, that he was “anti-Muslim,” has succeeded. “It was a bias crime” has become the accepted narrative. On the day of his sentencing, District Attorney Santana Deberry said: “There was no plea offered […]
Craig Hicks Sentenced to Life for Killing Three Neighbors (Part 1)

Did Carol Swain “express regret for anti-Muslim rhetoric” or did she merely “clarify” her remarks?
Carol Swain is a retired college professor, both an African-American and a conservative, now running for mayor of Nashville. She recently sought to clarify statements she had made about Islam in a column she wrote in 2015, soon after the murders of a dozen cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo. The report on her recent visit to […]
