Last week, Senator Ted Cruz’s hearings graphically revealed the true extent of the Obama administration’s politically correct denial and willful ignorance concerning the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat and the ongoing attempts to assert Sharia principles and practices over those of American law and culture. DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson in particular demonstrated a […]
Obama’s ‘Countering Violent Extremism’ Program Collapses Into Absurdity
“Obama’s CVE policies were developed in 2011 specifically at the demand of U.S. Muslim groups. Now, the very same Islamic groups that demanded CVE are some of its loudest opponents. They claim that the administration is promoting ‘Islamophobia’ through their programs.” They want no resistance to jihad terror at all — which should be revealing […]
Feds’ counterterror program failing: Hamas-linked CAIR opposes it
“These programs operate under the assumption that Muslims are a national security threat,” said Haroon Manjlai of the Los Angeles chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations. “They’re highly objectionable.” Even this toothless, politically correct program, which operates on the assumption that if young Muslims are offered jobs and a spot on a basketball […]
Obama serves up cliches and falsehoods as his anti-ISIS strategy
Over at PamelaGeller.com I dissected Obama’s grand strategy for defeating the Islamic State. Platitudes, self-righteousness, distortions, tortured reasoning, self-promotion — that’s right, it’s another major speech by Barack Obama. Comments interspersed below. “Remarks by President Obama at the Leaders’ Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism,” United Nations Headquarters, September 29, 2015: PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Why Obama Won’t Call the Jihadis Islamic
An attempt to explain the mystery, over at FrontPage: Barack Obama aroused controversy over his affinity with Islam yet again in February 2015, when a photo surfaced from the U.S.-African Leaders’ Summit in August 2014, showing Obama passing by a group of African delegates with his right index finger raised in a gesture strongly reminiscent […]
Robert Spencer in PJM: My Heart-to-Heart with Obama
My imaginary dialogue with the President, from PJ Media: The world is on fire with Islamic jihad, and last Wednesday, after his Countering Violent Extremism summit, the President called me in to talk it over. Here is the dialogue we had:* OBAMA: Most recently, with the brutal murders in Chapel Hill of three young Muslim […]
Obama: “We are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam.”
The world is on fire with Islamic jihad, and so Obama holds a summit on “Countering Violent Extremism” and once again refuses to name the enemy. Remember when he was first elected, and the mainstream media was filled with confident predictions that he would reach out in such warm friendship to the Islamic world that […]
Obama: “Many Muslim Americans across our country are worried and afraid”
Non-Muslims may be worried and afraid because of jihad terror, but that doesn’t bother the President: he is busy fostering the Islamic supremacist victimhood narrative so indefatigably furthered by groups like the Hamas-linked terror org CAIR. Comments interspersed below. “President Obama: Our fight against violent extremism,” by Barack Obama, Los Angeles Times, February 18, 2015: […]
White House touts Boston’s success in “countering violent extremism”
Boston? Really? Boston is where Obama’s program of “countering violent extremism” has so singularly failed. This article shows that, and there is more. Not long after the Boston Marathon jihad massacre, Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) confronted FBI director Robert Mueller: The FBI never canvassed Boston mosques until four days after the April 15th attacks. If […]
Holder: “Radical Islam, Islamic extremism – you know, I’m not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that”
“Radical Islam, Islamic extremism – you know, I’m not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that. It doesn’t have an impact on our military posture, an impact on what we call it, on the policies we put in place.” And that’s why the Obama policies are failing. A refusal to define the enemy […]
