“But this noble goal could have the opposite effect to that desired: marking a clear boundary between Spanish Christians and Spanish Muslims, leaving the door wide open to dangerous forms of communitarianism.” Oh, and there’s one other little potential problem as well: the Qur’an contains verses that favor, rather than prevent, “radicalism.” A sampling: 2:191-193: […]
Belgium wants migrants to sign pledge to integrate; Leftists enraged
Yet the next time there is a jihad terror attack, many of the Leftists who are decrying this pledge will turn around and blame the Belgian government for not integrating the Muslim immigrants. “It’s an extra tool for the immigration office to keep some people out of Belgium,” said Didier Vanderslycke from ORBIT, a pro-migrant […]
Video: White House censors French President saying “Islamist terrorism”
The Obama Administration is adopting the practices of Orwell’s Ministry of Truth. Inconvenient facts are consigned to the memory hole. We have always been at war with Eurasia. Islam is a religion of peace. No one would even dare suggest otherwise, even indirectly. What? The French President referred to “Islamist terrorism”? No, he didn’t. Not […]
Obama: “The Republican base had been fed this notion that Islam is inherently violent”
Where would anyone get the crazy idea that Islam was inherently violent? Well, the day’s headlines might give us that very strong impression, but Obama would tell us (and has told us) that those Muslims who are screaming “Allahu akbar” as they murder non-Muslims are, despite appearances, not really Muslims at all, but just people […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Paris Jihadis Went Dancing, Then Went Killing
Exploding another media myth in FrontPage today: Footage has emerged of Paris jihad murderers Salah Abdeslam and his brother Brahim dancing at a Brussels nightclub several months before they murdered 130 people. The UK’s Daily Mail, always determined to ignore the jihadi mindset and motivations and misrepresent both as quite other than what they are, […]
New York Times: Governments can’t figure out why people become terrorists, they “defy a single profile”
This lengthy New York Times article is one long exercise in willful ignorance. “The brothers who carried out suicide bombings in Brussels last week had long, violent criminal records and had been regarded internationally as potential terrorists. But in San Bernardino, Calif., last year, one of the attackers was a county health inspector who lived […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Christopher Dickey and “Anti-Muslim Hysteria”
After the latest attacks in Brussels, Christopher Dickey, a senior American journalist based in Paris, was alarmed. What alarmed him was not the homicidal hatred of Muslim terrorists or the Islamic State’s demonstrated ability to wreak havoc in yet another European capital. No, he was worried that “rampant Islamophobia” would only increase because of this […]
Canada to fight jihad terrorism by establishing Office of Community Outreach and Counter-radicalization Coordinator
This is certain to be a waste of $35 million. It is just another manifestation of the willful ignorance of the West: people don’t turn to jihad terror because they believe it is their duty before Allah, commanded in the Qur’an and Sunnah; they turn to jihad because the non-Muslims haven’t been nice enough to […]
Obama: “We have to reject any attempt to stigmatize Muslim-Americans, and their enormous contributions to our country”
Obama’s timing is grotesque. After the Brussels jihad massacre, he should be talking about how he is ramping up our resistance to jihad terror, not about how we have to stop picking on the poor Muslims in America, whom no one is picking on in the first place. “We have to reject any attempt to […]
“Frenchman” arrested in “advanced stages” of terror plot
The Associated Press wouldn’t dream of informing its readers about exactly what kind of “terror attack plot” this “Frenchman” was in the “advanced stages” of executing, but since Cazeneuve said there were no links “at this stage” between the November Paris jihad attacks and the ones in Brussels Tuesday, he seems to be leaving the […]
