Laskar Jihad was burning down churches. “The hadiths clearly say that Prophet Muhammad condemned such actions and it made me think that what I was doing was wrong,” said Jumu Tuani. “It has been narrated by ‘Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from […]
Obama’s $500 million 50-man “moderate” army: half already dead, captured, out of action
Last week they were missing. Now they have been found, and it isn’t pretty. Yet no one in the Obama Administration, the State Department, or the mainstream media seems particularly curious as to why it has been so hard to find “moderates” in Syria. This program will continue to waste taxpayer dollars. “US-trained rebels fighting […]
Ireland: Muslim cleric who led anti-ISIS demo praises Hamas jihadis
Recently I wrote (here) about a Muslim rally in Ireland against the Islamic State, that drew a grand total of fifty people. It was led by Shaykh Dr. Umar Al-Qadri, who said this about “radical teachings”: “We as Muslims, we must condemn them. We must not remain silent. The Mosques, the Islamic centres, the organisations, […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Muslim Moderates Rally Against Terror in Ireland!
All fifty of them. My latest about Western wishful thinking in FrontPage: Everyone has been waiting for this for years, and at last it has happened. The historic happening took place in Ireland, a nation hitherto not distinguished for standing in the cultural vanguard, but all that will change now, thanks to a rally hosted […]
Obama’s 50 “moderates” trained in $500 million program to fight the Islamic State have disappeared in Syria
It’s bad enough that $500 million was wasted on this boondoggle, with Republican Congressional approval. It’s bad enough that this lavishly funded program could only attract fifty “moderates” willing to be trained to fight the Islamic State. But now those fifty have compounded the ludicrousness of this entire endeavor by vanishing in Syria. Did they […]
Ireland: Muslims who held anti-terror rally faced resistance from some Muslims
This is just the opposite of what the situation should be if the mainstream narrative about Islam and jihad were true. We should be seeing pro-jihad terror Muslims opposed strenuously within their own community. Instead, those who oppose jihad terror are the real “tiny minority of extremists,” hounded and opposed by their fellow Muslims. An […]
Ireland: Muslim rally against the Islamic State draws…50 people
We are constantly told that the vast majority of Muslims are moderates who abhor and reject jihad terrorism. Yet this is not the first time this has happened. Contrast this turnout to the thousands of Muslims who turn out for rallies against cartoons of Muhammad or against Israel. But given a chance to show how […]
New York Times: Mosque of Chattanooga jihad killer braces for backlash
Ihsan Bagby, an associate professor of Islamic studies at the University of Kentucky, spoke of “the shock that there’s a kid who seems to grow up in the shadow of the Muslim community and yet chooses a path of extremism and violence that nobody taught them in the community. It’s a betrayal of the community.” […]
UK counter-terror police official was defender of the Islamic State who “despised Britain”
The story of Abdullah al Andalusi, aka Mouloud Farid, aka Wazir Leton Rahman, epitomizes the confusion and willful ignorance of the British political class. The British government wouldn’t be able to distinguish a “moderate” from an “extremist” if its life depended on it, and it does. The British intelligentsia will never, even to the point of […]
US only training 60 Syrian “moderates” to fight Islamic State, far below expectations
A previous report said: “The main problem thus far has been finding enough Syrian recruits untainted by extremist affiliations or disqualified by physical or other flaws.” And so currently there are only 60 men receiving this training. No one, however, is willing to examine the larger implications of this. The Pentagon is pouring money into […]
