This will solve the problem of jihad terrorism in a trice. Young Muslims who are swayed by the Qur’an’s exhortations to wage war against unbelievers, as well as by Muhammad’s example in doing so, will be able to switch on the television and voila! They will see Muslims being peaceful, charming, and countering “violent extremism […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Why Do So Many Ask “Why Do They Hate Us?”
“So many times I passed by these locations. Why do they hate us so much?” asked Franziska Brantner, a German Green MP and former member of the European Parliament, on Twitter (about the attacks in Brussels). Do you remember Michael Scheuer, that obsessively anti-Israel former “bin Laden desk” expert at the C.I.A., who used to […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Hillary vs. Jihad: A Nightmare Scenario
Over at PJ Media today I discuss how the potential Commander-in-Chief is dangerously divorced from reality. It’s a nightmare that could all too easily come true: the Republican Party denies Donald Trump the nomination, he bolts, and Hillary Clinton, unindicted by a sympathetic Obama Justice Department, becomes president. If she does, it is virtually certain […]
Washington Post: “The horror in Brussels is a rebuke to Trump’s foreign policy”
The mainstream media gets more absurd by the day. When did Donald Trump become President? The policies he is advocating are not now being implemented, so there is no conceivable way that the Brussels jihad massacre can be blamed upon them, or taken as any indication that they would not be effective (which is not […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: An Ahmadi Night Out
“Faith Presbyterian Church and Ahmadiyya Muslim Community host program in Indianapolis to fight fear of Islamic faith with knowledge.” So says the article “What you need to know about ISIS and Islam,” Olivia Lewis, Indianapolis Star, March 19, 2016: The best way to disband fear is to educate, said the hosts of a faith-based event […]
Video: After Brussels jihad massacre, Daily Beast editor decries “rampant Islamophobia” in Europe
“Now, you have a situation where people who were not inclined to look suspiciously at Arabs and Muslims, now they’re terrified.” And if they’re terrified, it’s their fault. “Well, it certainly is going to make it more and more difficult for Muslims and Arabs to integrate into European society. The level of suspicion is very […]
Video: Just two months ago, Brussels ridiculed idea that it was a “war zone”
“After Brussels was linked to terror plots, the international media portrayed the city as a warzone. We wanted to change this perception with an honest answer.” Today, the Islamic jihad terrorists gave a different answer. “FLASHBACK: Brussels Ridiculed Idea Of Islamic Violence In Ad [VIDEO],” by Blake Neff, Daily Caller, March 22, 2016: In the […]
Hillary Clinton: US response to Brussels jihad mass murders must be “consistent with our values”
“It’s unrealistic to say we’re going to completely shut down our borders to everyone. I know that Americans have every reason to be frightened by what they see, we’ve got to work this through, consistent with our values.” Her implication is clear: any response to what is rapidly becoming a state of war in Europe […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Apologists for Islam and History
Apologists for Islam are a varied bunch – some reveal ignorance, others deploy deliberate taqiyya – but all play fast and loose with history. Here are three examples: Karen Armstrong on the Expulsion of the Moors In 1492, the year that is often said to inaugurate the modern era, three very important events happened in Spain. […]
Indian PM: Sufi Islam “voice of peace, co-existence, compassion and equality”
Contrary to popular belief, the Sufis do not reject violent jihad. Their towering figure, al-Ghazali, taught it, and Sufis have been at the vanguard of the Chechen jihad. Hasan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, which in turn gave birth to Hamas and Al-Qaeda, was strongly influenced by Sufism. In 2009, Iraqi Sufis meant with […]
