“In a statement, IS said two brothers had targeted a ‘gathering of apostates’ with machine guns and grenades.” Sunnis consider Shi’ites to be apostates, and apostasy carries the death penalty in Islamic law. Thus attacks like this one are going to happen, and anyone who calls attention to their root causes is “Islamophobic.” “Afghan gunmen […]
Bernie Sanders On Iran and Saudi Arabia: “They’re Gonna Have to Get Their Act Together”
Bernie Sanders believes that for too long America has been “just pro-Israel”; he appears not to know of the many episodes when America was not in Israel’s camp, from President Eisenhower threatening in 1956 to cut aid to Israel unless it withdrew – it did – from the Sinai, to Carter and Brzezinski cruelly bullying […]
Yemen: Shi’ite jihadists target Sunni mosque in missile attack, murder at least 73
Articles, government commissions, etc., devoted to the evils of “Islamophobia”: countless. Casualties from “Islamophobia”: zero. Articles, government commissions, etc., devoted to the evils of the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad: zero. Casualties from the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad: countless. “At least 73 soldiers killed in missile attack ‘on mosque’ in Yemen,” by Samuel Osborne,” Independent, January 19, 2020 (thanks to […]
U.S. Out of Iraq? By All Means
The Iraqi Parliament has just passed a resolution calling for all American troops -– there are now 5,000 in Iraq — to be withdrawn from the country. I quite agree. We should never have entered Iraq in the first place, but left Saddam, monstrous as he was, as a counterweight to the just as monstrous, […]
Dearborn: Imam blames Trump, Israel for jihad attacks on Saudi oil fields
We see it again and again. Islamic supremacists, and increasingly their Leftist allies as well, never, ever take responsibility for what they have done. It is always someone else’s fault, the fault of someone they hate. Qazwini here blames Trump and Israel, predictably enough, for the attacks on the Saudi oil fields. It is too […]
Trump suggests Iran is lying when it denies involvement in drone strike on Saudi oil industry
It’s fairly clear that this was a strike at the Saudi oil industry in retaliation for sanctions on Iran. Did the Iranians model their drones on the U.S. drone they seized and refused to give back while Obama was President? Did they finance the strike with the billions Obama showered upon them? In any case, […]
Australia: Sunni Muslims plotted jihad massacres at cathedral and train station, finally firebombed Shia mosque
Celebrate diversity! Diversity is our strength! And all that. But what happens when you bring in large groups of people who adhere to a belief system that itself does not respect “diversity”? This. And there will be much, much more of it in Australia, as well as many more jihad attacks against non-Muslims. “The three […]
Malaysia: Bomb threats from anti-Shia Sunni Muslims force cancellation of seminar about ending Muslim sectarianism
Here is yet another example of why we don’t see more sincere Muslim reformers. “‘Anti-Shia’ bomb threats force organisers in Malaysia to cancel seminar about ending Muslim sectarianism,” by Amy Chew, South China Morning Post, July 12, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Organisers of a seminar on the Amman Message – a declaration […]
Baghdad: Seven wounded as Sunni Muslims bomb Shi’ite mosque
In The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which you can order here now, I show that the Sunni/Shi’ite split goes back to the earliest days of Islam, and has often over the centuries erupted into violence. This is certain to keep on happening, since the death penalty for heretics remains part of Islamic […]
Lebanon: Sunni Muslim plotted jihad massacres at Christian churches and Shi’ite mosques
“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60) “Lebanese Police Prevent Terrorist Attack on Churches,” International Christian Concern, June 19, […]
