The ideological kinship doesn’t matter to them, because it’s Obama administration policy to ignore and deny the existence of that ideology. And so they focus on whether or not he was in actual contact with foreign jihad terrorists, and pay no mind whatsoever to the spread of the jihad ideology among Muslims in the United […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: ‘Aid and Comfort’: Clinton Suggests Trump Committed Treason
Offending jihadists is treasonous now. My latest in PJ Media: Jennifer Epstein, a reporter for Bloomberg and clearly the very model of a modern Leftist journalist, asked Hillary Clinton today: Are you concerned that this weekend’s attacks or potential incidents in the coming weeks might be an attempt by ISIS or ISIS sympathizers, or really […]
NY jihad bomber praised Osama, Awlaki, and Nidal Hasan, said “the sounds of bombs will be heard in the streets”
“The FBI has said Rahami apparently was not on its radar at the time of the bombing. But he was in 2014, when the FBI opened up an “assessment” — its least intrusive form of inquiry — based on comments from his father after a domestic dispute, the bureau said in a statement. ‘The FBI […]
NYC Mayor: Islamic terror “vanishingly rare,” calls for more Muslim migrants
How rare is “vanishingly” rare? What level of jihad terror is acceptable as far as de Blasio is concerned? If people were being poisoned by candy bars, and the candy bar company dismissed the incidence of poisoned bars as “vanishingly rare,” would you buy those candy bars? De Blasio would rather see New Yorkers murdered […]
Reality-resistant authorities probing New York jihad bomber’s motive
Planes have bombed Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt said that authorities were trying to determine their motive, and cautioned against painting all Japanese with a broad brush and blaming them all for the actions of a few. This is a war. The motive of Ahmad Khan Rahami couldn’t possibly be clearer. It is called “jihad,” it […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Dalai Lama: In Every Sense, On Islam He’s All Over the Map
In 2008, the Dalai Lama said what lots of Western leaders have been saying about Islam. He said “it was wrong, it was entirely unfair,” to call Islam a violent religion.” But six years later, in September 2014, at a conference of religious leaders he had organized, the Dalai Lama seemed to modify his earlier […]
White House press secretary on the Islamic State: “This is actually just a war of narratives”
“In some ways, this is actually just a war of narratives.” No, it isn’t. A bomb just went off in New York City. That isn’t a war of narratives. That is a hot war, but only one side is fighting. “We want to get out our counter-narrative against ISIL. And we’re having some progress, we’re […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: A Weekend of Coincidences
I wrote this yesterday afternoon before it was indisputable that the New York and New Jersey bombs were jihad. It stands as a record of the denial and willful ignorance of our authorities. In FrontPage today: It was a weekend of coincidences: acts declared not to be terrorism that just happened to look a great […]
NYC: IED explosion wounds 29, Muslims cheer on Twitter, de Blasio says “intentional,” but not “terrorism”
The mayor’s statement is absolutely incoherent. It’s “intentional” but not “terrorism.” All right. So this means the bomb in Chelsea was not an accident, but was put there deliberately in order to kill and maim. That seems to be the very definition of terrorism, but the mayor, a good friend of Islamic supremacists such as […]
Muslim who slashed NY cop with meat cleaver was deemed “not a terror threat” after screaming “Allahu akbar” outside synagogue
“Cops found two knives inside Joudeh’s car after answering the July report of an erratic man on Shore Parkway in Brooklyn shout ‘Allahu Akbar!’ — or ‘God is great’ in Arabic.” Actually it means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god. “But the source said investigations by the NYPD and FBI showed Joudeh, 32, […]
