This story is almost certainly about the arrest of an Islamic jihadist, but there is absolutely nothing in it to give the reader any indication of what kind of terrorism is involved here. The British press, like its American counterpart, is indefatigably dedicated to obfuscating the nature and magnitude of the jihad terror threat, no […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Iowa Has Spoken: Islam Is Peaceful
In PJ Media I discuss a new poll that shows how effective counterfactual propaganda can be: A new poll has shown that a majority of Republicans and an overwhelming percentage of Democrats who are likely participants in the Iowa presidential caucuses think Islam is peaceful. Now if we could ship them over to the Islamic […]
Harvard prof and Kerry adviser explains how Islamic State “distorts traditional teachings” of Islam
Here we go again: yet another mainstream media attempt to ensure that Americans don’t think that the Islamic State’s atrocities have anything to do with Islam. 20,000 Muslims from all over the world have joined the jihad in Syria, but the mainstream media and academics like Jocelyne Cesari make no attempt to explain how what […]
Obama: Iran has “no aspiration to get a nuclear weapon” because “it would be contrary to their faith”
It was reported back in September 2013 that “although talk of such a fatwa has been around for at least eight years, there’s no evidence it was ever issued, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, which flatly called the fatwa a hoax. MEMRI claims the phony fatwa is promoted by Iranian diplomats and […]
Ex-imam: Islamic State “animated entirely by Islam. The manner in which they kill – prescribed and outlined in the Koran.”
Obama, Kerry, Biden, David Cameron and the rest — they couldn’t be lying to us, could they? Inconceivable! “Ex-Muslim Imam Pens Open Letter, Giving Obama A History Lesson About Islam,” Mad World News, February 9, 2015: President Barack Obama sparked outrage when he compared medieval Christian wars to modern-day Islamic terrorism at the National Prayer […]
UK Muslim rape gang victims “sacrificed” so Labour wouldn’t lose Muslim votes
If Britain were still a sane society, every politician, Labour and otherwise, who knew about these Muslim rape gangs and kept quiet for fear of losing Muslim votes should be barred from ever holding or seeking political office again, and a serious investigation would be undertaken to determine whether or not charges of treason were […]
Obama: Media overstates terror threat as opposed to “longer-term problem of climate change”
Obama’s timing couldn’t be worse. First there was this: “The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever,” by Christopher Booker, the Telegraph, February 7, 2015: When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature […]
Jindal: “The Medieval Christian threat is under control, Mr. President”
Jindal has an important point. Even if Obama is correct (he isn’t) that the Crusades were some equivalent of the depredations of the Islamic State today, this does not excuse him or his Administration from their responsibility to face the current threat honestly and deal with it realistically. 900-year-old Christian atrocities, real and imagined, do […]

Harvard Prof: “Islam is not the major obstacle . . . for democratization in Muslim societies” by Andrew Harrod “Islam is not the major obstacle . . . for democratization in Muslim societies,” declared Jocelyne Cesari, a Harvard and Georgetown University professor of Muslim politics, on January 27 at George Washington (GW) University. Cesari’s presentation […]
UK: Hundreds more Muslim rape gang cases discovered; authorities still hiding them for fear of “racism” charges
“Six months on we’ve had no arrests, we’ve had no charges, evidence is still being lost….It’s still going on if not worse, because now they’re having to hide it more. I’m still seeing my abusers driving young girls in their car. They’re untouchable.” And they’re untouchable because the British authorities have yet to tackle, and […]
