A few weeks ago hard-Left “journalist” Zack Beauchamp published a long, windy piece in Vox bemoaning the influence of counter-jihadists upon President Trump. (Be afraid, Zack. Be very afraid.) The centerpiece of his argument is that the captured internal document of the Muslim Brotherhood laying out its strategy in the U.S., and its goal of […]

Iraqi officers find Islamic State jihadis hidden among the refugees fleeing Mosul
Iraqi officers have found Islamic State members fleeing Mosul and hiding among refugees, which should come as no surprise. The Islamic State vowed to infiltrate the refugee stream and also threatened that it was “coming to America.” Nonetheless, Western authorities and media continue to accuse anyone with valid concerns about this of being racist and […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Highest and Best Use of Keith Ellison
Now that Keith Ellison, our first Muslim Congressman, has lost out to Thomas Perez for the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee – though being given the specially-created sop of “Deputy Chair” – he may wish to strike out on his own, for clearly he has a lot of energy, and ambition, and Wants To […]
McMaster and Gorka: Understanding or Misunderstanding Islam?
There are two fundamental ways to view Islam in the West, and it is now clear those who hold to the “Islam is a religion of peace” view, which has held sway over the affairs of the West for so long, are fighting a desperate rear-guard action to remain in charge following Trump’s rise to power. […]
How a pro-Palestinian American reporter changed his views on Israel
Hunter Stuart was a self-described Protestant liberal with the “pantheon of beliefs”: You support pluralism, tolerance and diversity. You support gay rights, access to abortion and gun control. He was also pro-Palestinian, with the belief that Israel was the big bully: Most progressives in the US view Israel as an aggressor, oppressing the poor noble […]
Syria’s Assad: Some refugees are “definitely” terrorists
When Isikoff presses him about whether the terrorists constituted a significant percentage of the refugees, Assad noted correctly that the number didn’t matter, because a small number could do great damage, as on 9/11. Assad is right, of course, but his words will be dismissed as those of a bloody dictator, and misrepresented as if […]
Hollywood talent agency UTA cancels Oscar party, will hold refugee rally instead
In early January, a group of stars described as the “Who’s Who of Hollywood” came together to “obstruct” Donald Trump’s legislative agenda. They delivered this message: We demand that you block nominees who threaten the rights of women, the LGBT community, people of color, immigrants and the poor… It is striking that no group threatens […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: “I’m a Muslim — Ask Me Anything,” Answers 24-29
Recently I offered 38 questions to ask those carrying signs proclaiming, “I’m A Muslim — Ask Me Anything.” Here are answers to questions twenty-four through twenty-nine. 24. This question goes to the matter of how women are treated in Islam. A Muslim man need only repeat “taaleq, taaleq, taaleq” to divorce — according to the […]
Collapse of the counter-jihad Left continues: Sam Harris says “Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’ is a terrible policy…unethical”
In December I wrote a piece entitled “Sam Harris and the collapse of the counter-jihad Left,” in which I noted Harris’ indifference to his friend and coauthor Maajid Nawaz’s endorsement of Keith Ellison in his quest to become chair of the Democratic National Committee, despite Ellison’s multiple ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. I also pointed […]
UK: No more weekend Changing of the Guard ceremonies due to fears of jihad attacks
Windsor Castle has cancelled Changing the Guard ceremonies amid fears of a terror attack after devastating incidents in Berlin and Nice last year. The longstanding tradition will no longer take place on Saturdays due to concerns over the possibility that jihadists could target the thousands of tourists who gather to enjoy the show. A tragic […]
