Chief Inspector Gavin Wong says: “I would ask that we all continue to discourage anyone from attempting to travel to Syria or other areas of conflict. While the motive may be honourable, the reality is that these areas are hugely dangerous, and it can be an opportunity to radicalise vulnerable people.” “While the motive may […]
What does it take for a liberal hostage to lose his illusions about Islam?
Daniel Greenfield provides excellent commentary here on a liberal hostage whose knowledge of Islam and the Qur’an, and his bitter personal experience as a hostage of jihadists, don’t shake his fashionable illusions. Note also that all this happened to him at the hands of the “moderate,” Obama-backed Free Syrian Army. “What Does It Take for […]
National Cathedral to host Muslim prayer co-sponsored by Hamas-linked CAIR and ISNA
Legend has it that when the Muslims conquered Jerusalem in the year 637, Sophronius, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, invited the caliph Umar to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Umar declined, explaining that if he did, the Muslims would convert the church into a mosque, as Muslim prayers had been uttered there. Former […]
UK officials hesitate to prosecute returning jihadis for fear of seeming “anti-Muslim”
Britain’s rapid national suicide is the stuff of tragedy, but with stories like these, it is edging into farce. British officials are afraid to come down too hard on jihadis returning from the Islamic State because they don’t want to be seen as “anti-Muslim.” The Muslims who left Britain to join the Islamic State were […]
Daily Beast: Why are jihad groups so strong? Because of Israel
Bruce Riedel rightly faults the U.S. for not meeting the ideological challenge that groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State pose, but then he advocates nothing new. Instead, he offers essentially what mainstream analysts on both the Left and the Right have advocated for years: establishing a State of Palestine, supporting “reform and justice” in […]
UK “has sold its soul” with defense and security agreement with Hamas-supporting Qatar
“It was Britain that made the concessions, committing to share its classified intelligence and expertise with the Qatari state, and agreeing to work more closely with its security forces.” David Cameron appears to be intent on driving Britain off a cliff. If it survives his rule, and Britain remains a free state, future generations will […]
Prince Charles appeals to Muslim leaders “to ensure that people within their own tradition respect people from other faith traditions”
This plea stems from Charles’ willful ignorance about Islam. He says that Muslims and Christians lived in peace and harmony for centuries. He almost certainly has no idea of the oppression and depredations of dhimmitude. In making this video, he is expecting a reaction that he won’t get, and when he doesn’t get it, he […]
UK spy chief: Facebook, Twitter “command and control networks” for jihadis
In saying this, Hannigan is continuing his government’s resolute denial of the reality of the global jihad. His remarks here are just a more sophisticated way of saying that jihadis were “radicalized on the Internet.” And characteristically, instead of confronting the ideology that the jihadis are taught on the Internet, and asking themselves why Muslims […]
Minnesota: Muslim Christian Dialogue features Hamas-linked supporter of wife-beating
Dr. Jamal Badawi was several years ago a leading “moderate Muslim.” His “moderate” credentials were a bit tarnished, however, when he was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding case. According to Discover the Networks, “In 2004 Badawi issued a fatwa for Islamonline, outlining six different conditions in which a wife […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: 8 of This Week’s Most Absurd Statements About Islam and Jihad
My latest in PJ Media dredges up some of the latest absurdities: Every time there is an act of jihad terror or a thwarted jihad plot, there is a flurry of attempts to dissociate the atrocities from the Islamic texts and teachings that inspire them. As Muslims in Canada and the U.S. have heeded the […]
