Soldiers of the Caliphate in Algeria “punish France…to defend our beloved Islamic State”
Herve Gourdel was beheaded just after the Islamic State called for attacks “especially” against the “spiteful and filthy French.” The Soldiers of the Caliphate in Nigeria unaccountably misunderstand Islam in the same way as the Islamic State does, and sympathize with it. “Beheading of Frenchman in Algeria won’t deter France, Hollande says,” by Kim Willsher, […]
Islamic State: “We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women, by the permission of Allah”
This message, full of threats and murder, boasting and Qur’an quotations (all the citations in this piece are from the Qur’an), has just been released.

He says that the free world must combat the ideology of the Islamic State, while retailing the usual soothing fictions about where its ideology comes from.

[Via FrontPage Magazine] As shocking as the Muslim-run sex ring in Rotherham, England may seem to some—1,400 British children as young as 11 plied with drugs before being passed around and sexually abused in cabs and kabob shops—the fact is that this phenomenon is immensely widespread. In the United Kingdom alone, it’s the fifth sex […]
Catholic priest: Islamic State misunderstands Islam, Qur’an doesn’t command beheading
Not only the Islamic State, but also Saudi Arabia, a kingdom that loudly proclaims its absolute fidelity to the Qur’an and Islamic law, regularly performs beheadings.
