“The absence of dialogue between Al-Azhar and Vatican is the greatest gift for terrorism, Musarò added.” He said that on December 29. “Two Vietnamese tourists were killed earlier on Dec. 28 and ten others were injured in a tourist bus explosion in Marioteya district, near Giza governorate.” Apparently the jihadis who killed those tourists didn’t […]
Christianity Today touts ancient forged document as basis for “Muslim-Christian peace today”
Christianity Today has been taken in by sharpies who aren’t telling it the truth. Mark Durie is right: the document that this story is primarily about is “pious propaganda.” The ancient covenant Muhammad supposedly made with Christians, known as the Achtiname, is indeed supposed to have been written by Muhammad around 628 to the monks […]
UK Foreign Office warns against Christmas travel to Spain, France and Germany: jihad attacks “very likely”
Globalists keep on repeating the propaganda that those who are concerned about open-door immigration are “anti-immigrant,” “racist,” and “xenophobic,” but the UK Foreign Office has just also tacitly admitted that the jihad threat is real. So real, in fact, that its Christmas travel advisories warn against travel not just to Muslim countries, but to several […]
Rod Dreher: No need for “anxiety” about Islam in US, for “America will turn Islam into Moralistic Therapeutic Deism”
Rod Dreher of The American Conservative predicts: “This is why I don’t share the anxiety many conservatives have about Islam in America (Islam in Europe is a different matter, for particularly European reasons). For better or for worse, post-Christian America is going to turn Islam into Moralistic Therapeutic Deism too.” Are there secular Muslims in […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: “Experts”: U.S. Will Never Beat Jihadis Unless They Give Them Money and Power
Failed analysts keep pushing failed policies. My latest in FrontPage: AFP reported Saturday that “experts” say “Western powers fighting Islamist groups around the globe are condemned to a never-ending battle if they only tackle the symptoms and not the underlying causes of jihadist insurgency.” That is true, but these establishment “experts” have no idea of […]
New study: Only people who are prejudiced against Muslims fail to see Muslim mass shooters as mentally ill
Why, of course. Why didn’t we think of this before? How could anyone have gotten the crazy idea that Muslim mass shooters are not mentally ill? Why, mass shootings by Muslims couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the Qur’an’s commands to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5) and the demands […]
UN counterterror top dog calls for “rehabilitation” of ISIS jihadis and their “reintegration” into Western societies
Another inexpert “expert.” “We need to think about the reintegration of a number of people involved in these terrorist activities, but after the rehabilitation process.” Rehabilitation process? When has that ever worked? In reality, deradicalization programs, upon which the West has placed so much hope, have long been an obvious failure. Such programs are based […]
“Experts” warn that US will never defeat jihadis without giving them vast amounts of money and political power
These mainstream counterterror analysts are in agreement: we will never defeat the jihadis if we only “tackle the symptoms and not the underlying causes of jihadist insurgency.” On that they are absolutely correct. They demonstrate here, however, that they haven’t the first foggiest clue as to what those underlying causes really are, and instead are […]
The Fantasy Islam of the University of Michigan’s Juan Cole (Part 2)
In Part 1 we saw how Cole had taken a selective approach to Islamic Doctrine and 7th Century Muslim history, had believed that there was human involvement in the writing of the Koran, had a certain amount of disconnect between what he wrote and sources he claimed showed support for that writing, and had exercised […]
The Fantasy Islam of the University of Michigan’s Juan Cole (Part 1)
In October 2018 we saw the release of Juan Cole’s new book: Muhammad, Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires. Cole is the Richard P. Mitchell Collegiate Professor of History at the University of Michigan, and he is a “Renowned Middle East Expert.”[1] His new book received rave reviews; here are some that are […]
