“They saw ‘no evidence that the UK Government carried out a proper analysis of the nature of the rebellion in Libya.’” Of course it didn’t. There was no way that it could have. Its denial and willful ignorance regarding the motivating ideology behind the rebellion in Libya foredoomed its analysis to failure. It underestimated the […]

Mexico helping unvetted African migrants to U.S. border, many from Al-Shabaab jihadi hotbed
Hundreds of African asylum seekers have flooded Mexican border cities with the U.S. in an effort to get to California and Texas to obtain U.S. asylum — many of the unvetted migrants are from the terror hotbed of Somalia. The terror hotbed of Somalia means many of the unvetted migrants are likely to be Al-Shabaab […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tunisian Moderate Remains, Alas, A Defender of the Faith
“Nobel laureate: Don’t ‘muddle up’ terrorism with Islam,” by Edith M. Lederer, Associated Press, September 2, 2016: Nobel Peace Prize winner Wided Bouchamaoui urged people everywhere on Thursday [September 1] not to “muddle up” terrorism with Islam. The Tunisian businesswoman, who co-founded the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet which won the 2015 peace prize, said Muslims […]
Jihad terror enters new phase 15 years after 9/11
Until Western ostriches wake up and recognize that to oppose Islamic supremacism, the worst enemy of human rights and democracy, is not remotely anti-Muslim, but a necessary defense of Western civilization, we will continue to slowly lose our freedoms. On one side, terror will be struck into disbelievers by violent jihadists, and on the other, stealth jihadists […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Why It’s Mostly Quiet on the Eastern Front, Or, How a Czech Parliamentarian Sees Islam
Sometimes life sends along something to cheer us up. It did so for me, when I came across a stemwinder of a speech made in the Czech Parliament a few months ago by one of its members, Klara Samkova. Samkova is a left-of-center — not “far-right,” even if the Western press would like to label […]
Denmark: Muslim migrant shoots three non-Muslims for the Islamic State
The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them […]
CFR “expert” Max Abrahms: “When you remove a leader of a terrorist group, lower level members rise to the top”
“When you remove a leader of a terrorist group, lower level members rise to the top.” No kidding, really? When a leader of a jihad group is killed, he is replaced? How many years of research and analysis did it take, and how many degrees did he have to attain, for this genius to arrive […]
Canadian Human Rights Commission advertises Islam as a religion of peace and justice
The Canadian Human Rights Commission sponsored a webinar entitled “Building Bridges Between Cultures,” promoting Islam as a religion of peace and justice that shares values with other major faiths. But given the sizeable problem the globe is experiencing with political Islam, the first question one might ask is, why is this ignored? The second question […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Jean-Louis Harouel On France’s “Marche Vers Dhimmitude”
While nearly everyone has expressed an opinion about the burkini ban that was put in place by the mayors of several dozen French municipalities, and then overturned by a decision of the Conseil d’Etat, the views of Jean-Louis Harouel, a French legal historian and polymath, are of unusual significance. Harouel, a professor emeritus of the […]
France burkini backlash panic: convene Muslims to discuss French Islam
A respect for secular values should be an expectation and requirement of all Muslims immigrating to the West (along with all other adherents of any faith tradition). Indeed, an appreciation for pluralism is a major work in progress toward the evolution of the Muslim faith tradition, in which pluralism and democratic values are rejected by its normative practice under sharia […]
