As Britain eagerly rushes to ruin, the absurdities multiply. Will nursery school staff flag a Muslim child who shouts “Allahu akbar”? Or reads the Qur’an extensively? Of course not — that would be “Islamophobic.” So what will the signs be of a child at risk of “radicalization”? Strapping on a bomb vest during kickball? And […]
General Allen: US must “defeat the idea” of the Islamic State
There is no indication that General Allen has any idea of what he is talking about. What “idea” does he propose to defeat? He probably means that he is going to destroy the idea that the Islamic State constitutes the new caliphate — which is no doubt one reason why the media establishment keeps churning […]
UK Muslima arrested at airport upon her return from the Islamic State
And so the appalling absurdity that is contemporary Britain continues. A Muslim woman from London goes to Syria to join the Islamic State. Upon her return, she is arrested “on suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism” — preparing for those acts, mind you, in an entity that calls itself “the Islamic State.” Yet the […]
Former Mufti of Egypt Ali Gomaa: Jews plant “Gharqad” trees to hide from Muslims on Judgment Day
Back in 2007, I debated Dinesh d’Souza at CPAC and on a few radio shows on the thesis of his book, The Enemy At Home, which claimed that jihad terrorism was a reaction to the corruption of American pop culture, and recommended that U.S. conservatives ally with “conservative Muslims” on shared moral grounds. During these […]
Is Major General Nagata subtly questioning Obama’s refusal to acknowledge the reality of jihad terror?
There is good reason to think so, and it would be heartening to think that there is still at least one high-level official who sees the reality of the situation and is unwilling to close his eyes to it. More on this story. “Obama’s See-No-Islam Policy Forces Military Rethink,” by Neil Munro, Daily Caller, December […]
Financial Times: “Buddhist militancy triggers international concern”
When did you ever see in the Financial Times, or anywhere else in the mainstream media, an article entitled, “Muslim militancy triggers international concern” — unless it was devoted to downplaying that concern or denying that there was anything rightly called “Muslim militancy” at all? When did you ever see in the Financial Times, or […]
US Special Ops commander on Islamic State: “We do not understand the movement, and until we do, we are not going to defeat it”
What Major General Nagata says is absolutely correct: the U.S. government and military does not understand the Islamic State, and as long as that continues, the U.S. will never defeat the Islamic State. But why don’t they understand the Islamic State? Because the Obama Administration has forbidden investigation of Islamic doctrine in connection with terrorism. […]
Acquittal of the Guilty
Acquittal of the Guilty by Michael Devolin “Acquittal of the guilty damns the judge.” – Horace With every lone wolf terror attack these days there’s always the sequent announcement, either from the press or the local police spokesperson, suggesting that the terrorist was suffering from mental illness. It had nothing to do with the religion […]
German Finance Minister: “People are right to fear Islamist terrorism. But not Islam”
But “Islamist terrorism” arises from Islam. Or does Schaeuble think it is just as likely to emerge from the Lutheran churches as from the mosques? How does Schaeuble propose to separate the Islam that he considers benign from the Islamist terrorism he regards as malignant? He doesn’t say, and probably doesn’t have any idea how […]
Malian academic: What Islamic jihad groups did in Mali “has nothing to do with Islam”
“What they did has nothing to do with Islam. They cut off people’s hands and feet.” “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides […]
