It’s true. The NYPD dismantled the Demographics Unit in 2014, after Linda Sarsour led a campaign complaining that it was “Islamophobic.” And now we see where that leads. Get the full story of the consequences of this demonization of counterterror efforts in my new book Confessions of an Islamophobe. Preorder here now. “NYPD Monitored Terrorist’s […]
De Blasio: “Last thing we should do is start casting dispersions [sic] on whole races of people or whole religions”
In other words, we’re not going to study the motivating ideology behind yesterday’s jihad attack. We’re going to pretend it isn’t what it is. We’re going to pretend it is not being spread in New York mosques. We’re going to pretend that Islam is a religion of peace. Sure, more people will get killed in […]
NYC censored anti-terror handbook to appease Muslims, but it accurately predicted radicalization patterns
This is an illustration of the truth about what I said last Thursday at Truman State University: that charges of “Islamophobia” and “racism” are used to hinder legitimate counterterror efforts, thus paving the way for more jihad terror attacks. “The purge of a report on radical Islam has put NYC at risk,” by Paul Sperry, New […]
De Blasio “really angry” with Muslim hate crime hoaxer because it’s really Trump’s fault
“There is an obvious spike in hate crimes. We can’t have deniers telling us that the rhetoric of many people, including Donald Trump, didn’t lead to that.” De Blasio is enraged that this girl has cast doubt on the flimsy and fictional Leftist narrative that Trump has led to a spike in hate crimes. He […]
NYC: De Blasio administration promises Muslims it will “fight back” against Trump
National security? Preventing jihad terror attacks? Pah! Politically correct pandering is all that matters. “De Blasio Administration Promises Muslims It Will ‘Fight Back’ Against Donald Trump,” by Madina Toure, Observer, November 11, 2016: Immigrant Affairs Commissioner Nisha Argawal said the city will have to “wait and see” what kinds of policies President-Elect Donald Trump actually […]
After two jihad attacks in NYC in September, de Blasio names September 25 “Muslim Parade Day”
A Muslim slashed a New York cop with a meat cleaver on September 15. Another Muslim planted bombs in New York and New Jersey; one went off, wounding 29 people in Chelsea on September 17. In response, the city of New York is honoring all the contributions Muslims make to the city. Mayor Bill de […]
NYC Mayor: Islamic terror “vanishingly rare,” calls for more Muslim migrants
How rare is “vanishingly” rare? What level of jihad terror is acceptable as far as de Blasio is concerned? If people were being poisoned by candy bars, and the candy bar company dismissed the incidence of poisoned bars as “vanishingly rare,” would you buy those candy bars? De Blasio would rather see New Yorkers murdered […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: A Weekend of Coincidences
I wrote this yesterday afternoon before it was indisputable that the New York and New Jersey bombs were jihad. It stands as a record of the denial and willful ignorance of our authorities. In FrontPage today: It was a weekend of coincidences: acts declared not to be terrorism that just happened to look a great […]
NY governor contradicts NY mayor, says Chelsea blast was terrorism, but says no evidence of international terrorism
Cuomo may be implying that it was “right-wing extremism,” not jihad, but this really isn’t clear enough to go by. The only thing it establishes is that Cuomo is more realistic and honest than de Blasio. But this still doesn’t make it clear whether or not this was an act of jihad. If our leaders […]
NYC: Pressure cooker bomb resembling one used in Boston Marathon jihad massacre found 4 blocks from IED explosion
This doesn’t necessarily mean that jihadis planted the bomb. Maybe “right-wing extremists” have decided to copy jihadi methods. No information yet to go on. But the coincidence is striking. “Powerful Blast Injures at Least 29 in Manhattan; Second Device Found,” by Christopher Mele, Al Baker and Michael Barbaro, New York Times, September 17, 2016: A […]
