And let me make a final point. For a while now, the main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle have made in the fight against ISIL is to criticize the administration and me for not using the phrase “radical Islam.” That’s the key, they tell us. We cannot […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Finally: A Realistic Plan for Fighting the Jihad and Protecting Americans
Courtesy of Donald Trump. My latest in FrontPage: We’ve gotten so used to politically correct obfuscation about Islam being a religion of peace that preaches tolerance and non-violence that Donald Trump’s words in his address Monday were startling: “Many of the principles of radical Islam are incompatible with Western values and institutions. Remember this, radical […]
State Department admits it asks only Israel for “restraint” after terror attacks
“And frankly — and I’m not pointing the finger at anyone else, but if another country, we felt, were taking severe or draconian measures in the wake of some kind of attack, we might also comment.” So State Department spokesman Mark Toner would have us believe that only Israel takes severe and draconian measures after […]
Christine Williams: I Was Challenged: Why Write About Jihadists and Muslim Migrant Crimes?
I received a Facebook message about the negativity of reporting on the migrants on Jihad Watch. A Facebook Friend stated: “Interesting. Now, please tell us the POSITIVE things of these MIGRANTS…No? Reason for posting this- if it is true?- Lord, have mercy.” At first I thought: go do some yoga and count your blessings as […]
Islam and the West: A Cultural Divide
“Don’t ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.” — Robert Frost In a recent article in Canada’s National Post, Tom Blackwell writes about the findings of an Alberta study which suggests that there is “a culture clash…common for graduates of foreign medical schools.” He recounts that some doctors new […]
Twitter, Facebook team up with EU to stamp out “hate speech”
The problem with both Jourova’s and White’s statements below, and with this whole initiative, is that they assume that “hate speech” is an entity that can be identified objectively, when actually it is a subjective judgment based on one’s own political preconceptions. And given the years-long insistence from Leftists and Islamic supremacists that any honest […]
Minneapolis: “Moderate Muslims” enraged at trial of accused Islamic State jihadis, claim entrapment
What would it take for you to commit mass murder in the name of Allah? Would you do it for money? For love? Out of a sense of justice? Out of a sense of religious duty? Absurd as they may seem, these are serious questions, for as jihad mass-murder plots are being uncovered in the […]
Leftist “philosopher”: “There are among refugees also terrorists, rapists, criminals…but so what?”
The Leftist crowd was angry not at his insouciance over civilizational suicide, but over his “xenophobic” characterizations. That there are “terrorists, rapists, criminals” among the refugees and migrants is an obvious and abundantly documented fact, but for all too many people nowadays, it is morally wrong to state inconvenient facts. “Žižek at Left Forum: ‘Terrorists, […]
Islamic State calls on Muslims to make Ramadan “a month of calamity everywhere for the non-believers”
Ramadan is the month in which Muslims are supposed to deepen their piety and renew their commitment to Allah. As such, it is often a time of increased jihad activity, since jihad against unbelievers is undertaken as a pious act in obedience to Qur’anic commands top make war on unbelievers. “ISIS urges attacks on West […]
EgyptAir jet crash a “brutal event” and “almost certainly a terror attack”
If it was “almost certainly a terror attack,” then it was almost certainly jihad. The IRA and the Tamil Tigers and American “right-wing extremists” aren’t taking down too many EgyptAir planes. “EgyptAir jet went into a ‘sharp spin’ and fell 22,000ft before vanishing from radar says Greek defence minister – as air safety chief says […]
