US officials and the establishment media need to make up their mind. On the one hand we are told that the Islamic State, and jihad terrorism in general, has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism, that terrorists have “hijacked” Islam, as Karl Rove repeated on Fox yesterday, and then we see the world’s biggest terror […]
Trump releases photo of “the wonderful dog that did such a GREAT JOB in capturing and killing the Leader of ISIS”
Watch for Dana Shell Smith and other Leftists to be enraged that Trump allowed a dog to be set on al-Baghdadi, since dogs are unclean in Islam; it was disrespectful, and above all, we must show respect to those who would destroy us. “Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel […]
Austere Religious Scholar or Muslim Master of Mayhem? Or Both?
The Washington Post has unwittingly demonstrated the truth that Islam is not a religion of peace, a message it has been loath to acknowledge. On Sunday, it carried the obituary of self-styled ISIS Caliph Ibrahim, also known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, under this original headline: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Islamic State’s ‘terrorist-in-chief,’ dies at 48. Inexplicably, […]
The ISIS Caliph Is Dead – But Who Was Protecting Him?
My latest in PJ Media: Islamic State (ISIS) caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead, killed by an American airstrike in northwest Syria. President Trump announced this morning: “U.S. Special operations forces executed a dangerous and daring night-time raid in northwestern Syria, and accomplished their mission in grand style. The U.S. personnel were incredible.” But the question now should not be […]
Washington Post hails al-Baghdadi as “austere religious scholar”
The Washington Post has now changed this headline, apparently after receiving torrents of ridicule for it, but consider this: imagine if a prominent foe of jihad terror died, and the Washington Post was writing about his death. Imagine that this individual had never called for or condoned any violence, much less terrorism, and had stood […]
Obama’s envoy to Qatar says Trump’s description of al-Baghdadi’s death “will endanger our personnel in the region”
https://twitter.com/AmbDana/status/1188446071019724803 https://twitter.com/AmbDana/status/1188446888967786499 Yeah, that was totally incoherent. On the one hand Obama was insisting that jihad terrorists had nothing whatsoever to do with the peaceful religion of Islam, and then he turned around and gave one of the world’s leading Islamic jihadists a respectful Muslim burial. This didn’t gain the US any respect or save […]
ISIS supporters: “The manifestation and continuation of this religion does not reside on the shoulders of people”
As I noted here early this morning, “it hardly matters whether he is dead or alive.” This is because jihadis don’t turn to jihad because they’re following some charismatic leader. They turn to jihad because they believe that in doing so, they are pleasing Allah and winning a place in Paradise. But of course our […]
Trump: Islamic State caliph died “crying, whimpering and screaming”
What was that you media folks were saying about how Trump had enabled a resurgence of ISIS in Syria? “Trump: Terrorist Leader Died ‘Crying, Whimpering And Screaming,’” Associated Press, October 27, 2019: WASHINGTON (AP) — The shadowy leader of the Islamic State group who presided over its global jihad and became arguably the world’s most […]
Islamic State’s caliph al-Baghdadi reported dead yet again
The Islamic State’s caliph has been reported dead. But he has been dead before: Islamic State’s caliph al-Baghdadi said to be severely injured, flees to Syria July 5, 2014 Several months later, after widespread reports that he had been killed in an airstrike: Islamic State caliph undead, calls for “volcanoes of jihad” November 13, 2014 […]
Muslim who says he grew up in UK says ISIS will “establish the sharia over your necks whether you like it or not”
Judging from the consistent behavior of British authorities, it looks as if they like it just fine. But doesn’t this fellow know that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam or Sharia? Why does this message come through loud and clear to non-Muslims in the West, but not to jihadis themselves? “‘GO TO […]
