The unnamed man who took hostages in a theater in Germany today had no problem getting a gun, despite Germany’s draconian gun laws. The House Democrats are perpetuating the prevailing willful ignorance about the real threat of jihad terror. “GOP Congressman to House Democrats during sit-in: ‘Radical Islam killed these people,’” AOL News, June 23, […]
Cathy Young: Islam is and is not the problem
The subheading to this piece is “‘Islam is the problem’ and ‘Islam is not the problem’ are equally true and equally false statements—and equally unhelpful for addressing the issues.” “Journalist” Cathy Young apparently intends that statement to be some kind of Zen gateway to insight, but in reality it epitomizes how muddled and ultimately incoherent […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The New York Times and “The Aching and Obvious Question of Why”
On the clumsy, chunky, awkward, bespectacled, always out of sync, filiopietistic father, doting American dad, altogether a figure deserving of our sympathy — please don’t mention Islam — Omar Mateen! “‘Always Agitated. Always Mad’: Omar Mateen, According to Those Who Knew Him,” by Dan Barry, Serge F. Kovaleski, Alan Blinder and Mujib Mashal, New York […]
Gay lover says Mateen’s jihadist rampage was really an HIV revenge rampage
Mateen’s alleged gay lover stated that Mateen was not motivated by jihad, but by revenge for contracting HIV after a gay threesome.

Lynch: “Most effective response to terror is compassion, unity, and love”
The best advice the Attorney General of the United States can provide on how to respond to terrorism is that we should offer a little love and compassion.

His motive may never be known? He declared it straightforwardly: “I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may Allah protect him, on behalf of the Islamic State,” said Omar Mateen on the night he murdered 49 people and wounded 53.

Why do jihadists terrorize?
Speculating pundits have been agonizing over why jihadists become a threat and how we go about preventing domestic “radicalization”. They persist in using modern Western constructs to try to figure out a 1,400-year-old problem. It’s Islamic jihad, stupid. Although one cannot deny adverse human factors can come into play — such as mental illness, social […]

NPR whitewashes Mateen’s jihadist motive, calling his pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State a publicity stunt
In the name of political correctness, the leftist ideologues are at it again, abetting jihadists by publicly denying their destructive ambitions for the West. This time, it’s NPR stating that Mateen “evoked ISIS as a ‘cover story’ to gain more publicity.” This make-it-up-as-you-go approach has no limits in the propaganda war against truth. It’s a […]
