This article, like all mainstream media articles, commits the error I discussed here: of thinking that when it comes to Muslims, “one is either an ‘extremist’ or a ‘moderate,’ with an entirely unsupported assumption made that a Muslim who is not in al-Qaeda and may even disapprove of it must therefore necessarily also embrace secular, […]
Spencer: U.S. Intervention In Libya Aids the Jihad
In Human Events this morning I discuss why anyone concerned about the global jihad against freedom should oppose the U.S. action in Libya: Barack Obama has committed American lives to building an Islamic state in Libya. In making their case for U.S. intervention in Libya, conservatives who support the action generally acknowledge that the biggest […]
In Libya, U.S. is “arming the same jihadists who four years earlier were trying to kill Americans in Iraq”
As I noted here. “Ideals Trump Interests in Obama’s Libya Policy,” by Raymond Ibrahim in Hudson New York (via RaymondIbrahim.com), April 6: President Obama’s recent explanation for militarily engaging Libya is yet another example of how U.S. leaders increasingly rationalize their policies via sentimental and idealistic platitudes, rather than reality or the long view””or just […]
U.S. General says American troops may be sent into Libya
To aid al-Qaeda and the other jihadists there. “General: U.S. may consider troops in Libya,” from CBS News, April 7 (thanks to Weasel Zippers): WASHINGTON – The United States may consider sending troops into Libya with a possible international ground force that could aid the rebels, according to the general who led the military mission […]
Nihad Awad to Qaddafi: “I am pleased to send to Your Excellency in my name most solemn assurances of thanks and appreciation for the efforts you exert in the service of Islam”
Some things just can’t be combed over. Honest Ibe Hooper is dodging and spinning, as FBI director Mueller reiterates there is no formal relationship between the bureau and CAIR (gee, you’d almost wonder why). Hooper maintains “CAIR works with the FBI on ‘an almost daily basis on civil rights issues’.” That is, when the likes […]
Algeria concerned about increased al-Qaeda presence in Libya
Abdelkader Messahel must be some kind of Islamophobe: doesn’t he realize that the rebels in Libya are all secular, pro-democracy freedom lovers? “Al-Qaeda bolstering presence in Libya, Algeria says,” from Reuters, April 5 (thanks to Kristian): Algiers — Algeria is concerned by a noticeably increased Al-Qaeda presence in neighboring Libya and worried militant groups could […]
Libyan rebel commander: “Cut Gaddafi’s throat, then establish an Islamic state”
I tried to tell you. Here is yet more evidence that Obama’s action in Libya is aiding the jihad: “Libyan Rebel Commander: “˜Cut Gaddafi’s Throat, Then Establish an Islamic State”: While American intelligence experts search for “flickers” of jihadist involvement in the Libyan rebellion, a French reporter on a brief visit to eastern Libya had […]
Libya: Jihadist who is former Gitmo detainee is training rebels
Democracy on the march, with air cover courtesy Barack Hussein Obama. “Libya: Former Guantánamo detainee is training rebels,” by Nick Allen in the Telegraph, April 3 (thanks to all who sent this in): A former detainee at Guantánamo Bay has taken a leading role in the military opposition to Col Muammar Gaddafi, it has emerged, […]
Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links
I tried to tell you. “Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links,” by Praveen Swami, Nick Squires and Duncan Gardham in the Telegraph, March 25 (thanks to Jonathan): Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against […]
CNN celebrates jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber as hero
This is, of course, the mainstream media. This is the mainstream media that celebrates and lauds people like Feisal Abdul Rauf, Daisy Khan, and Sharif El-Gamal. So this is no surprise. It also is yet another indication of how the American action against Libya is aiding the jihadists there. “CNN Oddly Celebrates Hero Libyan Suicide […]
