The article below discusses “Why We Hate you and Want to Fight You” from the ever untruthful, untrustworthy and unreliable Islamic State brutes, who delivered a message to the West in hopes that Westerners will actually take them at their word. Leftists actually do, and herein lies (no pun intended) the problem. The six reasons […]
Video: Robert Spencer at the Reagan Ranch Center on why it matters to call it “Islamic terrorism”
On June 25, 2016, I spoke at the Young America’s Foundation’s Reagan Ranch Center in Santa Barbara, California, on why Barack Obama is wrong, and it is vitally important to call Islamic jihad terrorism “Islamic jihad terrorism.”
Pope Francis: “It’s not fair to identify Islam with violence. It’s not fair and it’s not true.”
The Pope is once again ignoring a simple distinction: while people of all faiths and backgrounds commit acts of violence, Islam is unique among world religions in having a developed doctrine, theology and legal system mandating warfare against unbelievers. Unless and until that is confronted, Muslims will continue to commit acts of violence against non-Muslims, […]
Halifax cops warn of sex assaults by cab drivers with “dark hair…spoke with an accent and many had moustaches”
Hmmm. Dark hair, accent, moustache — what could they possibly have in common? Why would they have such an interest in sexually assaulting their attractive female passengers? It’s a complete mystery! “Sexual assault allegations in Halifax taxis spark warnings,” CBC News, July 25, 2016: A spate of taxi drivers accused of sexually assaulting women in […]
State Dept spends $16 million on totally ineffective program to dissuade jihadis
This New York Times story is about how the State Department’s appeals to jihadis have switched from snark to emotion. It notes that the program has thus far been completely ineffective, but has no idea why. In reality, both the snarky and the emotional versions of this program are doomed to failure because they manifest […]
France: Church of priest murdered by jihadis donated land for mosque; “relations are normally very good”
“Relations are normally very good” — aside from that priest with his throat slit, that is. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? “The head of a religious order in Co Down who knew slain Father Jacques Hamel has revealed that Church land beside the scene of the murder was given by Catholic […]
General who issued groveling apology for alleged Qur’an desecration says Hillary will beat ISIS
General John Allen, former commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, spoke at the Democratic National Convention, saying that the U.S. would defeat the Islamic State (ISIS) with Hillary Clinton as Commander-in-Chief. Here is Allen several years ago, issuing an embarrassing and groveling apology to “the noble people of Afghanistan” for an alleged desecration of the […]
Robert Spencer in the Detroit News: Another casualty in the war against jihadism
In the Detroit News, I elucidate again the war that only one side is fighting. An 84-year-old Catholic priest, the Rev. Jacques Hamel, was beheaded Tuesday morning while celebrating Mass at his church in the town of Saint-Etienne-du Rouvray in Normandy. Reports indicated that his attackers were wearing Islamic clothing while shouting “Daesh” — i.e., […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Pope Francis and Jihad: Credo Quia Absurdum, And How
A glutton for punishment, I turned to the Vatican paper, L’Osservatore Romano, to read the Pope’s exact words, in the original Italian, about the killing of the indomitable priest in Rouvray. Here is what the Pope had to say to the journalists flying with him to Cracow: “Quando io parlo di ‘guerra’, parlo di guerra […]
Pope declares “the world is at war” but denies Islam has any role
Pope Francis declared that “the world is at war” following the slitting of the throat of an 86-year-old priest by two Islamic State-linked jihadists, right in the middle of a mass in France. The jihadists shouted “Allahu akbar” during the barbaric drama, during which they also took two nuns hostage. The Pope went on to […]
