The Muslim predisposition towards jihad means “no cartoons required.” The recent Muslim jihad attack at a Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest in Garland Texas has generated strong reactions across the political spectrum. Four of us in my church recently had a fairly rigorous discussion of some of the issues involved, with two believing the cartoon […]

Islamic State gives jihadis cash bonuses for marriage and paid honeymoons
This is all part of the Islamic State’s work for the long term, to establish itself as a stable and viable state. And as you can see from the photo, there is no shortage of attractive and eligible bride candidates. “For an IS fighter, a paid honeymoon in caliphate’s heart,” by Sarah El Deeb, Associated […]
Robert Spencer, PJM: Obama: Climate Change Causes Jihad
Over at PJ Media I discuss the recent appalling and fact-free statements by Obama: State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf was widely ridiculed in February for saying of the Islamic State (ISIS): We cannot win this war by killing them, we cannot kill our way out of this war. We need, in the longer term, […]
“The American Conservative” submits to violent jihadist intimidation
The American Conservative (TAC) has previously shown a tendency to downplay the jihad threat — as many paleocons do. I am no fan of Wilsonian interventionism and never have been, but TAC is veering toward active support of the Islamic supremacist agenda. Preposterous? Read on. “Pamela Geller’s Free-Speech Hypocrisy,” by Kelley Vlahos, The American Conservative, […]
Cathy Young is a terrible poster child for journalism
This is the second time in a week that I have answered, point-by-point, a lengthy exercise in character assassination against Pamela Geller and me written by Cathy Young, a contributing editor at Reason magazine and a longtime apologist for jihad terror. Young’s hit piece on us from last week appeared not in Reason but in […]
Jeffrey Tayler in Salon: “The left has Islam all wrong”
It’s an ongoing puzzle: Salon, which routinely excoriates Pamela Geller and me as “bigoted” “Islamophobes,” even more frequently allows Atlantic writer Jeffrey Tayler to tell the unpopular and unwelcome truths that Salon otherwise lambastes us for telling; see, for example, here and here. One can only speculate as to the provenance of this editorial inconsistency. […]
Geller and Spencer in Breitbart: “In Cathy Young’s World, Everybody Surrenders”
Cathy Young and The Daily Beast clearly intended her hit piece on Pamela Geller and me to be a comprehensive source for lazy journalists, for everything that is wrong with us. The problem is that her piece is a farrago of misrepresentations and outright lies. Pamela Geller and I respond at Breitbart today: The teaser […]
Are Muslims the New Jews?
In the twentieth century, the field of Middle East Studies was dominated by the graduates of only a handful of schools. Then, inspired by the horrors of 9/11, scholars from a variety of fields entered the discourse on terrorism, Islamism and the Middle East. Valuable contributions have been made by surgeons, psychiatrists, theologians and classicists. […]
Buddhist converts to Islam, calls on Muslims to murder Australians
Abu Khaled al-Cambodi never called for the murder of anyone while he was a Buddhist. When he converted to Islam, everything changed. Muslims in Australia and the U.S. would claim that he doesn’t understand his new, peaceful religion. Why did he get it so drastically wrong? How was he wrongly instructed, and by whom? Why […]
Circumstantial Evidence
It’s strange, but I, like probably many freedom fighters, have to prove to the left and liberals that Islam is violent. This is so even though every day many Muslims try to prove it by committing acts of terrorism, killing and torturing innocent people just because they are not followers of Islam. For me, it […]
