What killed the world’s conscience and rendered it indifferent to the plight of Christians in the Middle East? Well, when it comes to Cardinal Bechara Rai’s brother bishops in the West, it was the desire for a fruitless and self-defeating “dialogue” with Muslims that gave the appearance of genuine interfaith harmony, albeit without a scintilla […]
Analysts scratch their heads and wonder why Boston produces so many jihadis
The words “Islamic Society of Boston” do not appear in this Boston Globe article, which is full of head-scratching and bewilderment over why Boston has produced so many jihad terrorists. Yet the Tsarnaev brothers, Usaama Rahim (the “Roslindale man” in the second paragraph), and Tarek Mehanna, as well as Aafia Siddiqui, who is doing 86 […]
As Islamic State advances, CENTCOM claims it’s still on “defensive”
Baghdad Bob at the helm. “Amid new attacks, CENTCOM says Islamic State still on ‘defensive,’” by Travis J. Tritten, Stars and Stripes, May 29, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): WASHINGTON — U.S. Central Command on Friday downplayed a rash of Islamic State attacks in the Middle East, again maintaining that the hardline Islamist group remains […]
Learned analysts starting to realize airstrikes alone will not dislodge Islamic State
Mainstream analysts usually lurch from mistake to mistake, applying faulty solutions based on fantasy-based analyses, without ever being held accountable for the disasters that follow in the wake of their actions. Just look at Obama and Hillary at Benghazi. But the idea that an entity that controls an expanse of territory larger than Great Britain […]
UK: City that covered up Muslim rape gangs wants to ban anti-child rape protests
1,400 British non-Muslim children were gang-raped and brutalized by Muslims in Rotherham, and “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.” The real people responsible for these 1,400 abused children are those who, […]
Islamic jihadists kidnap priest at his Syrian monastery
“The priest was kidnapped by three masked people in the early afternoon at his Mar Elian Monastery in the town of Qaryatayn, while he was preparing to welcome an expected influx of refugees from Palmyra.” Father Jacques Mourad had “succeeded the Italian Jesuit Priest Paolo Dall`Oglio as the head of the Mar Moussa Monastery, which […]
Robert Spencer, PJM: Obama: Climate Change Causes Jihad
Over at PJ Media I discuss the recent appalling and fact-free statements by Obama: State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf was widely ridiculed in February for saying of the Islamic State (ISIS): We cannot win this war by killing them, we cannot kill our way out of this war. We need, in the longer term, […]
White House denies that the Islamic State has established a caliphate, insists it has lost territory
“We also see that ISIS leaders are very concerned about their own security. They are not moving particularly freely these days.” Does Barack Obama walk out of the front door of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, stroll down the street to a local, bar, and walk in, sit down and have a beer? Alone and unaccompanied? […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: The Jihadi Job Application
Over at FrontPage today I discuss why Marie Harf’s notorious claim that the jihadis just need jobs is wrong: they already have jobs. State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf was widely ridiculed in February for saying of the Islamic State (ISIS): “We cannot win this war by killing them, we cannot kill our way out […]
Obama: Climate change “an immediate threat to our national security,” caused jihad in Nigeria and Syria
Obama’s claims here are based on the proposition that poverty causes terrorism. Drought led to jihad in Nigeria, and drought, crop failures and high food prices led to jihad in Syria. But if poverty causes terrorism, one wonders why the world isn’t full of Haitian and Angolan terrorists. Also, poverty doesn’t cause terrorism. The Economist […]
