“The mood towards them has soured after a spate of attacks on civilians last month, including three carried out by migrants.” Nonetheless, Merkel says: “The phenomenon of Islamist terrorism, of IS, is not a phenomenon that came to us with the refugees.” And she is right: the Muslim migrant jihadis didn’t bring jihad terror to […]
Oklahoma: Judge rules Muslim who beheaded coworker not competent to enter guilty plea
This is yet another instance in which authorities ascribe Islamic jihad activity to mental illness. And this case is particularly egregious: authorities in Oklahoma are taking the fanatical attachment to Islam of Jah’Keem Yisrael (formerly Alton Nolen) as an indication that he is insane. Texas neuropsychologist Antoinette McGarrahan told the judge: “He has lost touch […]
Muslim refugee brought to Maine by Catholic Charities dies waging jihad for the Islamic State
Catholic Charities is criminally irresponsible and suicidally short-sighted. They are endangering people in Maine and all over the United States by bringing these jihadis into American communities that are unprepared for them, all the while lying to them and telling them that there is no jihad threat related to the refugees, and that anyone who […]
#NotMyPope trending in Europe as Church handles Islamic crisis worse than sex abuse crisis
“The Pope and others in the Church are not telling the truth about Islam. Some think they are doing so deliberately as part of a strategy to prevent further radicalization. Some (myself included) think they are doing so out of sheer naïveté. In either case, if they continue to defend Islam as a peaceful religion, […]
Must Catholics believe that Islam is peaceful?
The controversy over my debate with Msgr. Stuart Swetland, about which I wrote here, continues. William Kilpatrick here ably explains what is at stake. “Must Catholics Believe that Islam Is Peaceful?,” by William Kilpatrick, Crisis, August 16, 2016: The Apostles’ Creed (updated version): I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion […]
Robert Spencer: Muslims videoing in Ohio church “suspicious in the extreme”
Meanwhile, as churches are being cased, Church leaders are intent on reading those who call attention to the problem out of the Church. More on this story. “Saudi Arabians Videotape Inside Catholic Church, Scare Parishoners [sic],” by Richard Ducayne, Church Militant, August 15, 2016: KETTERING, Ohio – Three Arab men were caught recording footage in […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Howard “Dizzy” Dean and “The Farthest Thing From an Islamic Republic”
Howard Dean, he of the shriek heard round the world, claims to know that present-day Iran has nothing to do with Islam. Of course, he could only conclude that if he knew a lot about Islam (and Iran). Well, so many people seem to know all about Islam these days – Barack Obama, Jeh Johnson, […]
Is there room in the Catholic Church for those who don’t believe Islam is a religion of peace?
Last Wednesday, I had a lively discussion with Msgr. Stuart Swetland, president of Donnelly College in Kansas City, Kansas, on Relevant Radio’s Drew Mariani Show, on whether or not Islam was a religion of violence. Msgr. Swetland argued not only that Islam was a religion of peace, but that to believe otherwise was to place […]
11 bombings in one day: “When Thai police say they have ruled out terrorism, they have done nothing of the sort”
“When Thai police say they have ruled out terrorism, they have done nothing of the sort. The authorities in Thailand […] are desperate to minimise the damage to tourism, and will say anything they think will achieve this.” Just as in the West, the authorities are desperate to minimize the damage to their migrant scheme, […]
US Central Command skewed intel on the Islamic State to present “more optimistic” view to the public
This is not the first time that this administration has been caught skewing data about the Islamic State to make it appear as if U.S. efforts against it have been more successful than they really have been. This administration doesn’t care about defeating the Islamic State. It cares about appearing to be defeating the Islamic […]
