“The Blugs say two men, who looked to be of Moroccan descent, knocked on the door to their apartment, claiming to be the police and demanding entrance….The assailants threw the couple on the floor, kicked them repeatedly and shouted: ‘Dirty Jews – from now on your property is ours.’” What motive could they possibly have? […]
ESPN pulls Curt Schilling from telecasts for remainder of season, playoffs
Note how AP matter-of-factly states that Schilling’s tweet was “anti-Muslim.” ESPN obviously thinks so as well. Sloganeering has almost completely triumphed over rational thought these days, but here is one more try nevertheless. Now seems to be a good time to republish my FrontPage article from when this story first broke: “Curt Schilling’s tweet comparing […]
John McCain: “ISIS has nothing to do with the reality of Islam”
The willful ignorance is bipartisan: the Republicans don’t offer any alternative to the Democrats’ ridiculous claim that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam. Neither party offers a realistic appraisal of why the Islamic State is so appealing to so many Muslims worldwide (30,000 now have joined it from all over the world). […]
Petraeus: Use al-Qaeda jihadis to defeat the Islamic State
This is a tacit admission that the U.S. can’t find enough “moderates” to do the job against the Islamic State, even after spending $500 million to create a “moderate” fighting force. This is an effective admission that not only the Administration’s entire strategy of dealing with the Islamic State, but its entire diagnosis of the […]
Bill O’Reilly: “Jihad…is a perversion of Islam, we all know that”
“The spiritualism falls apart in the face of the jihad, okay, which is a perversion of Islam, we all know that.” Do we, now? Leave aside the fact that jihad is a central tenet of Islam for all Muslims, although all don’t endorse the terrorist form of it. Obviously O’Reilly is referring to jihad terrorism, […]
Minnesota: Jihad terror suspect gets driver’s license, wants to drive school buses
What could possibly go wrong, you greasy Islamophobe? “Terrorism Suspect Gets Driving License: Can Now Drive Large Trucks, Wants To Drive School Buses Next!,” by Jelani James, HNGN, August 28, 2015: A terrorism suspect whose name appears on the “No Fly” list has been allegedly given a Class-A commercial driver’s license, which would allow him […]
Israeli professor explains why the Islamic State is “the anti-Islam”
Ze’ev Maghen is professor of Arabic Literature and Islamic History and Chairman of the Department of Middle East Studies at Bar-Ilan University. Here he joins an apparently endless stream of Muslim and non-Muslim authorities who assure us that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, in terms that will reassure non-Muslims, but will […]
UK Home Secretary Theresa May pledges government fight against “Islamist extremism” and “neo-Nazi extremism”
May said: “In the not-too-distant future we will be launching an anti-extremism, counter-extremism strategy as a Government. That will be looking across the board at all forms of extremism – yes, Islamist extremism, but also neo-Nazi extremism.” There is a global threat from Islamic jihadists, and a very severe jihad threat within Britain itself. To […]
Obama: Many more in US die from gun-related incidents than from terrorism
Just as with the recent “study” that purported to show that “right-wing extremists” were more of a threat than Islamic jihadists, in saying this Obama is probably leaving out 9/11. And if even a fraction of the foiled jihad plots had come to fruition, this would be an even more risible claim than it is. […]
UK police to hire convicted terrorists to combat the Islamic State
Contemporary Britain is so ridiculous, it would be a smash-hit comedy if it weren’t so tragic. “British police to hire CONVICTED TERRORISTS to combat Islamic State,” by Peter Henn, Express, August 26, 2015: Scotland Yard wants to challenge Islamic extremism, and is getting what it describes as “significant” help from former radicals. There is also […]
