Crazy Joe was clearly going off script. Ash Carter articulated the Administration’s prevailing fantasy when he said that “officials may never know ‘what combination of disturbed mind, violent extremism and hateful ideology’ was behind the shooting.” “Biden Calls Chattanooga Shooter a ‘Perverted Jihadist,’” by Erik Schelzig, Associated Press, August 15, 2015: Vice President Joe Biden […]
UK: Muslim teenager arrested twice in two months for alleged terror offenses
True to form for the mainstream media, no information is given about who these people are or what kind of terrorism they were trying to perpetrate. Imagine a newspaper on December 8, 1941 running a story saying that random men in airplanes had attacked Pearl Harbor, and that police were searching for a motive. It’s […]
Hamas-linked CAIR protests federal program to combat “extremism”
“The organizations that convened Thursday on City Hall Plaza — including the Council on American-Islamic Relations Massachusetts Chapter, the Muslim Justice League, and other social justice organizations — said the federal program is pocked with shortcomings.” Chief among those shortcomings is this: “It’s a federal program that singles out Muslim communities and reinforces false notions […]
“I Will Always Remember Where I Was When Cecil The Lion Was Killed”
This is the state of the world today. “I Will Always Remember Where I Was When Cecil The Lion Was Killed,” Duffel Blog, August 3, 2015 (thanks to David): The following is an op-ed written by “Mohammed,” a Syrian War Refugee. I am sorry it is taking me so long to post my outrage over […]
DHS chief: Don’t call it “Islamic extremism,” it has nothing to do with Islam
Johnson has said this before, on more than one occasion. And despite manifesting an abysmal ignorance of the contents of the Qur’an, Johnson claims to have read it, and that it reminds him of quintessential American values. More proof that he hasn’t really read it. Graham’s point is excellent: “Even more disturbing (and once again, […]
No Jihad in Gaza, Says George Washington U’s Nathan Brown
Current Middle East Studies Association (MESA) president and George Washington University political science professor Nathan Brown downplayed Hamas’s long history of terrorism on July 23 at the anti-Israel Jerusalem Fund think tank in Washington, DC. He and others on a panel titled “Gaza in Context: Broader Implications in the Palestinian Plight” claimed that the Islamic supremacism of Hamas and, increasingly, the Palestinian Authority (PA) is […]
Islamic supremacist academic Omid Safi recommends that the U.S. disarm in the face of the advancing jihad
One of the most unfortunate aspects of the politically correct straitjacket that binds contemporary public discourse is that deceitful mediocrities and intellectual flotsam and jetsam who aren’t capable of independent thought or of defending their own positions except with lies and scorn are lauded and lionized by the clueless and compromised elites, solely because they […]
UK Muslim bought ricin to kill 1,400 people, faces light sentence: “no evidence that he was planning any sort of terrorist attack”
He just wanted to get some ricin, you know, to have it around. Don’t you have some in the cookie jar? He just “wanted to know what the fuss was about.” Isn’t that completely plausible? Didn’t you buy some bubonic plague-carrying rats last year, just to see “what the fuss was about”? Let this poor […]
Pope Francis appeals for release of two bishops and priest abducted by Muslims in Syria
The Pope has said that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence,” so why doesn’t he go to Syria himself and initiate a “dialogue” with the Islamic State, during which he can explain to them how they are misunderstanding the Qur’an and Islam? That will fix […]
Counterterror expert: “deradicalization” is “practically impossible”
Ganor is quite right in saying that “deradicalization” doesn’t work: many such programs are based on the premise that the true teachings of Islam are peaceful, and so all that needs to be done is show the jihadis how they’re misunderstanding the Qur’an and overlooking its teachings of peace, and all will be well. But […]
