In FrontPage this morning I explain why the current mini-controversy over Huma Abedin bespeaks a much larger problem with America’s contemporary political culture. They got Al Capone for tax evasion, and they may get Huma Abedin for “violating rules regarding vacation and sick leave” and for the “possible exchange of unsecured, classified data.” To be […]
Iran’s President warns of plots to portray Islam as a religion of violence
He doesn’t mean the Islamic jihadists who kill and torture in the name of Islam and in accord with its texts and teachings. He means those non-Muslims who dare to report on those acts of violence. As far as Rouhani and other Islamic supremacists are concerned, if such people are silenced, all will be well […]
The mullahs’ academic cheerleaders: Meet the profs who love Obama’s Iran deal
It isn’t surprising that Aslan and Cole would be cheerleading for this disastrous deal, since they are both Board members of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC). NIAC has been established in court as a lobbying group for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Said Michael Rubin: “Jamal Abdi, NIAC’s policy director, now appears to push […]
Robert Spencer, PJM: Shocked, Shocked To Find That Terror Is Going On In Here!
Over at PJ Media, I ask why authorities are still taking mosque leaders’ statements after terror arrests at face value. It’s an iconic moment in American cinema, from Casablanca: Captain Renault tells Rick Blaine that he is “shocked! shocked!” to discover that gambling is going on in his establishment, and that it will be immediately […]
Turkey’s religion chief: “Islam never orders a jihad which approves of bloodshed”
“All the Islamic institutions agree that Daesh is a non-Muslim group,” says Görmez, but that just yet again begs the question: why does this “non-Muslim group” have such appeal among Muslims that thousands of them from all over the world have traveled to Syria, Iraq and Libya to join it? And if Islam never orders […]
Islamic supremacist academic Omid Safi recommends that the U.S. disarm in the face of the advancing jihad
One of the most unfortunate aspects of the politically correct straitjacket that binds contemporary public discourse is that deceitful mediocrities and intellectual flotsam and jetsam who aren’t capable of independent thought or of defending their own positions except with lies and scorn are lauded and lionized by the clueless and compromised elites, solely because they […]
UK Muslim bought ricin to kill 1,400 people, faces light sentence: “no evidence that he was planning any sort of terrorist attack”
He just wanted to get some ricin, you know, to have it around. Don’t you have some in the cookie jar? He just “wanted to know what the fuss was about.” Isn’t that completely plausible? Didn’t you buy some bubonic plague-carrying rats last year, just to see “what the fuss was about”? Let this poor […]
Proselytizing for and whitewashing Islam in…Teen Vogue
Over at PamelaGeller.com, I discuss yet another sly exercise in Islamic proselytizing slipped into a forum that would have no space for a similar presentation from any other religious group: Teen Vogue is just that: a magazine for teenage girls. Articles featured on its front page today include “Justin Bieber and Sam Smith Are Already […]
Info about Chattanooga jihad murderer is disappearing from the Internet
“Abdulazeez did what jihadists are asked to do prior to execution of their attacks: delete important information that could provide insight into their networks.” And now his network is no doubt enjoying the spectacle as law enforcement officials and the mainstream media continue their quest to discover his motive. “Information about the Chattanooga Shooter is […]
The Myth of Islamic Science
“The notion of a golden age of Islamic learning is a myth created to counter the current sorry state of intellectual life in the Islamic world.” Indeed so. A provocative perspective from India: “The Myth of Islamic Science,” by N.S. Rajaram, India Facts, April 2, 2015 (thanks to K.R.): In this provocative essay, Waseem Altaf, […]
