The political and media elites are so avid to find “moderates,” and they know so little about Islamic doctrine, that this kind of thing happens rather frequently. “Obama Praises Muslim Cleric Who Backed Fatwa on Killing of U.S. Soldiers,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, September 24, 2014: President Barack Obama favorably quoted and praised […]
Obama at the UN: “United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. Islam teaches peace.”
“Second, it is time for the world – especially Muslim communities – to explicitly, forcefully, and consistently reject the ideology of al Qaeda and ISIL.” As if they knew he would say this today (did they?), an international group of Muslim scholars today issued a purported refutation of the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam. Unfortunately, […]
Obama-backed Free Syrian Army group Harakat Hazm denounces U.S. airstrikes as “attack on the revolution”
“It has few other options.” How about this: don’t arm or aid any of America’s enemies. Speak realistically about the jihad threat, and seek to prevent jihad terror attacks at home. Or else go in with ground troops that aren’t crippled by politically correct Rules of Engagement, and crush the Islamic State, and then leave, […]
Nothing to do with Islam!

US “public diplomacy experts” warn: Government not doing enough to counter Islamic State’s online presence
“US public diplomacy experts have warned that the government may not be doing enough to counter the Islamic State’s growing online presence.” Do these “public diplomacy experts” ever stop and ask themselves why the Muslim organizations large and small that condemn the Islamic State aren’t doing anything to counter its growing online presence? Why is […]
New York Mayor de Blasio blasts AFDI anti-jihad ads as “outrageous, inflammatory and wrong”
Pamela Geller zeroes in on what is outrageous, inflammatory and wrong about de Blasio’s statement: “The Mayor has bigger fish to fry. The Islamic State and al Qaeda have recently vowed to attack this city. They issued a fatwa. They called for Muslims in America, ‘lone wolves,’ to attack the city. They printed instructions in […]
Three Afghan military officers missing from training exercise in Cape Cod
It’s all right. They’re on our side, right? They’re “vetted moderates,” right? After all, it is absolutely unheard-of for any of our gallant Afghan allies to turn on their American friends, right? Nothing to be concerned about. In reality, given the many, many incidents of green-on-blue attacks, that is, jihad attacks by Afghan military men […]
Tony Blair: Islamic State’s ideology “based in a complete perversion of the proper faith of Islam”
He says that the free world must combat the ideology of the Islamic State, while retailing the usual soothing fictions about where its ideology comes from. Blair said in 2007 that “to me, the most remarkable thing about the Koran is how progressive it is,” and added this in 2008: “I regularly read the Koran, […]
Dalai Lama says Islamic jihadists “misuse jihad”
The Dalai Lama joins Barack Obama, David Cameron, Tony Abbott, Pope Francis, and myriad other non-Muslims who know exactly how the Muslims of the Islamic State are misusing Islam. None of them have yet explained how this “misuse” of Islam became so widespread. None of them have yet explained why so many Muslims from Western […]
Again in UK: Muslim rape gangs targeted girls in Sheffield, care worker kept mum, fearing being called racist
In Rotherham the same thing happened, and the lives of 1,400 girls were destroyed. There is no telling how many girls all over Britain were victimized in this way, while authorities cowered in fear of being charged with “racism” and “Islamophobia.” What is remarkable is that even now, as these cases are coming to light, […]
