This looks like a job for that amiable stomach-stapled beekeeper, CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper, whose unflagging commitment to the truth has earned him the affectionate and richly deserved nickname, “Honest Ibe.” Honest Ibe, call your office! It’s Islamophobia! It’s racism! It’s bigotry! Just imagine the outcry is counterterror officials in this country monitored Arabic schools! Watch […]

Two “men” with “militant ties” arrested at JFK airport for attempt to join “militant group”
Is that a militant tie? What details does Reuters think salient in this case? We learn that the people arrested are “men,” and that they’re “unmarried American citizens” and “residents of New Jersey.” They were planning to join a “militant group” in Somalia — one described here as a “youth movement.” The arrests had something […]

In search of…moderate Islam
I recently participated in a FrontPage Symposium, “The World’s Most Wanted: A ‘Moderate Islam,’” about that great unicorn in which everyone believes and depends upon but which no one has ever actually seen, moderate Islam. In this special edition of Frontpage Symposium, we have invited four distinguished guests to discuss the question: Is there a […]
Christmas jihad bomber featured in new al-Qaeda video
Movie stardom comes to the jihadist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. “Terrorism: Failed ‘US bomber’ in Al-Qaeda video,” from AKI, May 26 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Rome, 26 May (AKI) – The Nigerian man accused of a failed attempt to blow up a US passenger jet in December last year is featured in a new Al-Qaeda video […]
Massachusetts Governor vows to protect state from jihad terrorism — no, wait…
Two Massachusetts Muslims are arrested in a raid, and the Governor of Massachusetts behaves as if Muslims were the victims, not the perpetrators, of jihad terrorism. Shouldn’t he be reassuring the Jewish community and other prime targets of jihad instead? “Deval Patrick vows support for Muslims,” by Marie Szaniszlo in the Boston Herald, May 23 […]
Jihadist cleric al-Awlaki advocates killing American civilians
He argues from several angles. One is to denigrate the status of American civilians as “innocent,” which is noteworthy in light of the common apologist tactic of insisting Islam forbids the killing of “innocents,” and leaving the audience to apply their own definition of the term. Another argument he offers is that, hey, civilian casualties […]
Senate report scapegoats intel agencies over Christmas jihad plot, fails to address the real problem
The intelligence community is clueless and compromised, to be sure. But it is no worse than any other U.S. government agency. Until there is a wholesale reevaluation of counterterror strategy, and a realistic appraisal of the jihad doctrine and Islamic supremacism in all its forms, there will be many more failures like this one. “Intelligence […]
Fitzgerald: Should the U.S. government now develop a special program of domestic aid for Muslims?
Well, now we know why Faisal Shahzad did what he did. For god’s sake, you don’t have to be Robert Pape to know that Islam had nothing to do with it. It was loss of status. It was poverty. Here was poor Faisal Shahzad, the son of a high-ranking Pakistani Air Force Officer, who no […]
Failed Times Square bomber the latest jihadist “inspired” by Yemeni jihad preacher al-Awlaki
Of course, Al-Awlaki did not invent the ideology he has become widely known for propagating. Nor did Osama bin Laden, nor did al-Qaeda. Authorities would have to dig into some highly politically-incorrect territory to get to the root of what motivated Shahzad to pursue violent jihad, especially since his case cannot be written off as […]
