Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban unabashedly lashed out at the EU “elite” during a speech, referencing them as “serial failures” and specifically pointing out that Angela Merkel is failing to protect German citizens from jihadist terror. Orban called for a radical overhaul of the EU as it continues to lose its sovereignty. Unsurprising, the article […]
CIA Director: Brexit is bigger crisis for the EU than the Islamic State
CIA Director John Brennan is claiming that the biggest crisis facing the EU is not the Islamic State threat, but Brexit. He is “prioritizing consequences of the referendum vote over the threat of terror posed by the Islamic State as refugees from the Middle East continue to stream into the continent.” Brennan, the onetime chief counter-terrorism advisor […]
Warning to the West: Jihad groups acquiring cyber capability to bring major cities to standstill
The Director of the UK Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) has warned that jihad terrorist groups are gaining the capability to bring major Western cities to a standstill with the click of a button, adding that these groups have “no threshold when it comes to loss of life”. In other words, they are killing machines and […]
ISIS or Islam — Which Breeds Terrorism?
A lie conceals the truth. And ugly but hidden truths never have a chance of being acknowledged, addressed, and ultimately ameliorated. Because of this simple truism, one of the greatest lies of our age—that violence committed in the name of Islam has nothing to do with Islam—has made an intrinsically weak Islam the scourge […]
Brussels: NINETY PERCENT of Muslim teens call jihad murderers heroes
And Yves Goldstein, a councilman from Schaerbeek and chief of staff for the minister-president of the Brussels Capital Region, blames Belgian non-Muslims for not integrating these young people. The possibility that the Muslim youth think of themselves as the “best of people” (Qur’an 3:110) and have no desire to assimilate into the society of the […]
Revive Clear Thinking and the Jihad Dies
Because it is my field of study, one would expect I’d have much to say immediately after jihadi attacks of the sort that recently occurred in Brussels (35 killed), or San Bernardino (14 killed), or Paris (130). Ironically, I don’t: such attacks are ultimately symptoms of what I do deem worthy of discussion, namely, […]
New Islamic State video quotes Qur’an, threatens jihad in London, Berlin, Rome
“Nations of the cross this message is for you. Know that your options are few: either you join Islam, or pay tribute, or face the war.” Where did they get this idea? Why, from the Qur’an: “Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His […]
That “Low-Level Hum”? It May Be Your Conscience.
Suspicion of Islam is not a bad thing. It is a sign of moral, mental and spiritual health. Especially when it comes from among Muslims. In the recent story, “Backlash from Brussels terrorism frustrates Muslims in Maine,” by Matt Byrne, Portland Press Herald, one of the Muslims interviewed, Ahmed Abdiraham, described a “low-level hum of […]
Maine: Muslims “frustrated” by “backlash” after Brussels jihad massacre
What backlash? Muslims attacked? Mosques burned? Laws passed barring Muslims from entering airports? No. Actually, there has been no backlash at all: “violence against Maine’s estimated 6,000 Muslims has not been a serious problem.” So where’s the backlash? Why, one Muslim says that “the anger and hostility displayed nationally during the political campaign season eventually […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Paris Jihadis Went Dancing, Then Went Killing
Exploding another media myth in FrontPage today: Footage has emerged of Paris jihad murderers Salah Abdeslam and his brother Brahim dancing at a Brussels nightclub several months before they murdered 130 people. The UK’s Daily Mail, always determined to ignore the jihadi mindset and motivations and misrepresent both as quite other than what they are, […]
