After Spain decided to deport ex-Muslim human rights activist Imran Firasat to a Muslim country, where he would face certain death, he fled to Norway — but instead of giving him refuge, Norwegian authorities sent him back to Spain. Imran Firasat is guilty of nothing but insulting Islam, which is ostensibly not (yet) a crime […]
Obama: Islamic State’s “actions represent no faith, least of all the Muslim faith which Abdul-Rahman adopted as his own”
“Least of all.” So apparently it is far more likely that the beheading of Abdul-Rahman Kassig represented the Buddhist faith, or the Baptist faith, or the Jain faith, or the Methodist faith, than that it represented the Muslim faith. This is despite the fact that the man who actually beheaded Kassig stood over his severed […]
Iran TV airs Muslim cleric’s threats to raze Tel Aviv, target US bases
You would almost think that it wasn’t a Religion of Peace at all, but that would be “Islamophobic.” “Iran TV airs cleric’s threats to raze Tel Aviv, target US bases,” by Justin Jalil, Times of Israel, November 16, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller): In a sermon carried on state TV, an Iranian cleric threatened that […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: 6 Failed Policies Obama Won’t Stop Pushing
In PJ Media today, I discuss entrenched false beliefs that lead to repeated foreign policy errors: Presidents come and presidents go, but the State Department’s foreign policy establishment is forever. And no matter how many times its remedies fail to heal problems (and usually cause worse ones), it keeps on applying them, without an ounce […]
U.S. prison was ‘terrorist university’ for Islamic State
This is because the U.S. does nothing in these prisons to try to change the mindset of the prisoners. The guards treat the Qur’an, which is of course distributed to all the prisoners, with exaggerated reverence. Any attempt to change their way of thinking would immediately be denounced by groups such as the terrorist organization […]
Nigeria: Female jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber murders 8 at market
Female jihad-martyrdom suicide bombers are often women who have been caught in or suspected of zina — the Islamic legal term for sexual immorality of various kinds. They are told that they can redeem their family’s honor and also win a place in Paradise by murdering Infidels and getting killed in the process. “Woman suicide […]
Terror org CAIR denounces Kassig beheading as “anti-Islamic”
The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, which the United Arab Emirates has just designated a terror organization, says that the beheading of Abdul-Rahman Kassig was “anti-Islamic.” This AP story doesn’t explain what they’re basing that claim upon, and Hamas-linked CAIR probably didn’t explain. It could be several things. They could be trying to get away […]

Islamic State releases video showing beheading of US hostage Kassig
The video is here. Warning: it is extremely graphic, and will not be up long. If you catch it while it is still up and want to skip the beheadings (there are many, not just of Kassig, then stop watching around the 9:30 mark, as the beheadings are shown in full, and then Kassig’s severed […]
Islamic State and al-Qaeda agree “to end fighting and join against their opponents”
As the proverb goes, “My brother against my brother, but both of us against our cousin.” What the “experts” referred to in this article do not understand, because they are bound as a matter of policy not to understand, is that these two groups share the same belief system, the same ideology, the same doctrine, […]
