Relax. The “experts” will explain it all for us. “If he was following IS (Islamic State) direction why didn’t he go in there and kill everyone?” Maybe Man Haron Monis intended to take hostages. Is Associate Professor Rodger Shanahan from the Lowy Institute really unaware of Islamic law regarding hostage-taking and the subsequent killing, enslavement, […]
Samantha Power: “No religious beliefs justify throwing individuals off of buildings or stoning them to death because of who they love”
Samantha Power is Obama’s Ambassador to the United Nations. At the first UN Security Council meeting on LGBT rights, she did the absolutely predictable thing: dissembled about the root causes of why the Islamic State persecutes gays. “No religious beliefs,” she asserted confidently, “justify throwing individuals off of buildings or stoning them to death because […]
Federal judge orders jihadi out of jail and into rehab program
“The U.S. has been trying for years to ‘counter violent extremism’ by fighting the message of terrorists instead of just the terrorists themselves.” The U.S. has been trying to counter the message of the terrorists, mind you, while ignoring the content of that message and/or pretending that it is other than what it is. This […]
ESPN sidelines Curt Schilling for tweet comparing “extremist Muslims” to Nazis
Curt Schilling is under heavy fire for this, and has been removed from ESPN’s coverage of the Little League World Series. He is repentant and apologetic, but it may do no good: he may be facing more punishment, and is taking a beating in the mainstream media for being “insensitive.” But what exactly is so […]
French investigators seek motive as jihad gunman denies terrorism
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad, but French investigators apparently are unaware of the statement. Would Ayoub el-Khazzani try to foster complacency and ignorance among non-Muslims regarding the jihad threat by denying his true intentions? That possibility doesn’t seem to have entered the minds of French investigators. Ayoub el-Khazzani denies any terrorist intention, and that is […]
Robert Spencer in FP: France Train Jihadi ‘Dumbfounded’ to Be Accused of Terrorism
It was just your ordinary robbery attempt, you see, with a Kalashnikov. My latest in FrontPage: It is a recurring and increasingly ridiculous feature of jihad terror coverage: every time a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” plants a bomb or opens fire on a crowd of infidels, mainstream media coverage notes that “the attacker’s motive is […]
France train attack shows impossibility of tracking all Islamic jihadis
There are many more Islamic jihadis than authorities like to admit, as they like to pretend that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, and to ignore and downplay the appeal that the Islamic State has for so many young Muslims in the West. Certainly the Islamic State is trying to overwhelm law […]
Bangkok bombing that murdered 20 people at Hindu shrine was an Islamic jihad attack
The mass murder has been identified as a Muslim named Mohamad Museyin. “The motive behind the attack remains unclear,” says the Herald Sun, but in reality the motive is only unclear to those who refuse to admit that there is a global jihad. The motive of a Muslim who leaves a backpack with a bomb […]
Boston University prof blames U.S. for Islamic State sex slavery
“In focusing on current abuses in the Middle East, perpetrated by those claiming the mantle of Islam, Americans — whose Constitution continues to permit enslavement as punishment for crime — deflect attention from partial U.S. responsibility for the current crisis in Iraq. Sanctions followed by military invasion and its brutal aftermath laid the groundwork for […]
FBI warns of attacks on Muslims by “militia extremists” incited by counterjihadists
As I told WND, the insidious goal of this libel is to stigmatize opposition to jihad terror, so that the jihad can advance unimpeded. That the FBI would be abetting the propagation of this libel is yet another new low for the Obama-era intelligence apparatus. “‘Ridiculous’: FBI warns of next big terror attack,” by Leo […]
