Indonesia: “Radical” Islamic groups advancing agenda through alliances with “moderates,” seeking membership in country’s highest Islamic authority
A study in stealth jihad: as Muhammad said, “War is deceit.” This report also lends broader context to a recent offer by the thuggish Islamic Defenders Front to “protect” churches at Christmas. While the offer was a poor and obvious ruse to intimidate and gather information for future persecution, it was nonetheless part of a […]
U.S. senators’ report on Lockerbie bomber’s release: no medical justification, Scots pressured by London over oil deal
As long suspected, on both counts. To allow Gadhafi to succeed at blackmail sets a disastrous precedent, and encourages more of the same. “U.K. Pressured Scots to Release Lockerbie Bomber Out of Concern for Oil Deal, Report Finds,” from Fox News, November 21 (thanks to all who sent this in): Fear of “commercial warfare” from […]
UK: Luton mosque says they threw out Stockholm jihad bomber for his “extremist” views
“I talked to him and went through his arguments and countered all of them theologically and he accepted it. I thought that was the end of it but he carried on.

Taliban leader in secret talks was impostor: “It’s not him, and we gave him a lot of money”
Note the exceptionally high level of competence of Western intelligence officials. An incident like this is on par with the keenness of their analysis of Islam and jihad.
