Notice that the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, like Muslims in the U.S., considers any counter-terror policy to be “anti-Islam,” and stands against it. One might almost get the idea that they’re on the same side, if we didn’t know that all Muslims in the U.S. are as moderate as the day is long. “Pakistani Taliban urge US […]
NYC jihad bomber spent weeks getting “Islamic education” at pro-Taliban Pakistan seminary
This one is really going to leave New York Mayor de Blasio and other New York City authorities scratching their heads: they will be wracking their brains trying to figure out how a pious young man instructed in the Religion of Peace could have become such a spectacular misunderstander of Islam. Does he have an […]
Obama Admin issues veto threat of Guantanamo bill
The White House reiterated that the “continued operation of the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay weakens our national security by draining resources, damaging our relationships with key allies and partners, and emboldening violent extremists.” A president who has been doing back room deals with Iran to the tune of tens of billions is talking about […]
Muslim maintained contact with jihadis in Iran while plotting attack in Canada

Muslim captured coming over southern U.S. border had ties to Taliban
“Homeland Security officials said that man, who is currently in custody, had been ‘involved in a plot to conduct an attack in the U.S. and/or Canada.’” But remember: preventing people from entering the country illegally is un-American! “Afghan man captured coming over southern U.S. border had ties to Taliban: report,” by Christopher Brennan, New York […]
“Terrorism theorist” Max Abrahms: Don’t kill jihad leaders, it just makes jihadis mad
Establishment counterterror analyst Max Abrahms, who recently revealed himself to be yet another in a seemingly endless series of arrogant pseudo-academic puffballs (a series that also includes Joseph Lumbard, Mia Bloom, Christine Fair, Omid Safi, and of course, Reza Aslan), reaches a new low in this Wall Street Journal piece featuring a gaggle of establishment […]
Taliban chooses Islamic legal scholar as its new leader
Clearly the Taliban hasn’t gotten the memo that terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. John Kerry and Pope Francis need to fly to Peshawar, make their way to Taliban headquarters, and explain to Haibatullah Akhundzada how the true Islam is peaceful and rejects all forms of terrorism and violence. “How the Taliban Hastily Chose […]
Iran supplying weapons, cash and training to Taliban
Sunnis and Shi’ites hate each other, but not as much as they hate the Infidel. Hence Iran’s support for the Taliban, as well as Hamas and Islamic Jihad: Sunnis who are waging jihad against Infidels are allies of Iran, as far as the mullahs are concerned. Such support also strengthens Iran’s ongoing maneuvering to be […]
Kabul: Taliban target security team protecting government VIPs, murder at least 28
The Obama White House continues to pretend that the Taliban can and should be a “peace partner” and enter into negotiations to form the next government in Afghanistan. They will probably form the next government in Afghanistan, all right, and continue their jihad against the U.S. and the free world. “Dozens killed in Kabul as […]
