At last, silence from al-Awlaki A desperately evil man who was linked to the 9/11 attacks (he was “spiritual adviser” to a couple of the hijackers) as well as to the Fort Hood jihad murder, the Christmas underwear jihad bombing attempt on an airplane over Detroit, and the Times Square jihad mass murder attempt, has […]

The State Department’s Skewed Standards
Earlier this month in the West Bank, “settlers attempted to burn two mosques, and vandalized an IDF base as part of the latest “˜price tag” attacks. The attacks came in response to the demolition of three buildings earlier this week in the West Bank settlement outpost Migron, 14 kilometers north of Jerusalem.” Accordingly, on September […]
U.S. general warns of pan-African jihadist network
An update on this story. While U.S. operations have been making Swiss cheese of al-Qaeda’s operational structure in Pakistan, another threat has been quietly emerging over a broader geographical area. The rise of any of the current “Big 3” jihadist groups in Africa, Boko Haram, al-Shabaab, and al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (or the Apparently-Not-Islamic-Enough […]
Detroit: Judge refuses to throw out underwear jihadist’s statements about being an al-Qaeda operative
It doesn’t really matter if he was an al-Qaeda operative or not. There are many jihadists who are not al-Qaeda. But it is good to see this judge not folding to the courtroom jihad being waged by Abdulmutallab’s defense team. “Judge: Underwear bomber’s statements about being al-Qaida operative admissible,” by David Ashenfelter and Tresa Baldas […]
Detroit underwear bomb jihadist shouts “jihad” in court, demands to be judged by Qur’an only
He doesn’t recognize American law, because it was written by human beings. He believes that the Qur’an was written by Allah, and that Muslims should be judged only by it. He doesn’t appear concerned about the possibility that the Qur’an might contain something that might portray in a bad light trying to murder hundreds of […]
EU counter-terror coordinator warns al-Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb is extending its reach
Despite the confidence of France’s top counter-terror judge, who only last month said he did not think the group would attack Europe, its expanding reach only increases its ability to carry out operations across the Mediterranean when (not if) it chooses. Of course, AQIM now also has a windfall of Libyan weapons, including surface-to-air missiles […]
Report: Al-Qaeda branch has acquired Libyan surface-to-air missiles, threatening air travel
More steals and deals at the jihadist garage sale of the century. “Qaeda offshoot acquires Libyan air missiles: EU,” from Agence France-Presse, September 5: Al-Qaeda’s north African branch has acquired a stockpile of weapons in Libya, including surface-to-air missiles that are threatening air travel, the EU’s counter-terrorism coordinator said Monday. Due to the turmoil in […]
U.S. money is Taliban’s second highest source of revenue, after opium
Nation-building hasn’t exactly worked out, unless Western powers were actually trying to build a kleptocracy. Neither opium nor the American taxpayer should be a source of income for the Taliban. In the case of the opium trade, which was instrumental in funding the Taliban’s resurgence, Western governments looked the other way from opium production for […]
Geller: Father and son jihadists
In “Father and son jihadists” in World Net Daily, August 30, Pamela Geller discusses Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Christmas underwear bomber, and his rejection of American law for Islamic law — as well as the little-noted Sharia activities of his “moderate” father in Nigeria: Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Christmas underwear bomber, is back in the […]
Spencer: “Fear, Inc.”: The business of saving jihad from “Islamophobia”
In “Fear, Inc.: The Business of Saving Jihad From ‘Islamophobia’” in Human Events this morning, I discuss the irony of the release of the latest slick and well-funded “Islamophobia” report just as more jihad attacks are being perpetrated and more jihad plots uncovered: This past week, “Mohammed K.,” a Muslim teenager in Maryland, was arrested […]
