In Germany, these past weeks, we have been treated to a back-and-forth among politicians about Islam and whether it should be considered “part of Germany.” Some say yes and some say no. Angela Merkel, doing her imitation of Molly Bloom, keeps saying “yes I mean yes I said yes” to Muslim migrants, and has stirringly […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: New York Times Writer Attacks Pompeo and Bolton for Opposing Jihad
All right-thinking people know there is no jihad threat, right? My latest in PJ Media: The New York Times is immensely frightened by President Trump’s appointments of Mike Pompeo as secretary of State and John Bolton as national security advisor, and that’s a very good sign. But the paper has definitely put its smear machine […]
Akbar Ahmed’s Islamic Mirage
“As an anthropologist, I approached the subject very scientifically,” American University Professor Akbar Ahmed said concerning his documentary Journey into Europe during a February 4, 2016, Georgetown University preview screening. Yet scrutinizing this film on Islam in Europe, subsequently released in full online and now the basis for a recent book published by the Qatari-funded […]
France: Expert admits that it is “Islam, not social factors driving radicalism”
Sociologist Olivier Galland has slammed many of his fellow academics for having a myopic view of radicalisation in France, saying that the effect of Islam is more important than social factors like poverty.

Laurie Goodstein and the New York Times: Weighed, and found wanting
[Editor’s note: This article was first published at Jihad Watch on September 24, 2010. In light of Laurie Goodstein’s recent attack on Mike Pompeo and John Bolton, it merits revisiting.] Laurie Goodstein, who reports for The New York Times on Islam in America without, apparently, ever thinking she has a responsibility to study the texts […]
New York Times’ Laurie Goodstein attacks Pompeo and Bolton for daring to notice there’s a jihad threat
The New York Times is immensely frightened by the appointments of Pompeo and Bolton, and that’s a very good sign. But they’ve put their smear machine into high gear. Much more below. “Pompeo and Bolton Appointments Raise Alarm Over Ties to Anti-Islam Groups,” by Laurie Goodstein, New York Times, April 6, 2018: Nearly two months […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Pope Francis Chastises the World’s Christians
Pope Francis delivered a prayer during his Good Friday via crucis, in which he chastised the world’s Christians for their behavior, for bringing so much violence into the world: Christians ought to express shame for the actions of those who are leaving future generations a world “fractured by divisions and wars,” Pope Francis said. The […]
EU top dog: “Islam is part of our history, Islam is part of our present and Islam will be part of our future”
Timmermans is right: Islam is a part of European history, is certainly a part of its present, and most assuredly will be in its future. In my forthcoming book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS (which you can preorder here), I detail how the Islamic jihadis first attacked Europe in the seventh century, […]
Sweden to Hungary: Stop using us as “an example of failed migration”
Swedish Education Minister Gustav Fridolin told the “Hungarian government and ruling Fidesz party to stop using Sweden as an example of failed mass migration policies.” One wonders what gives Fridolin the right to order another sovereign country what to say and not to say, particularly when Swedish leaders have so desperately failed their people. Sweden […]

Aideen Strandsson is a woman without a country. She may live in Sweden, but she is a stateless person, with no passport, no citizenship and no way to get a job. She lives every day with the knowledge she could be deported to her native Iran where, as a Christian, she would face grave danger. […]
