On November 9 I posted here about how jihad factions in the Libyan city of Derna (aka Darna) had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Now they are in complete control of the city, as the caliphate expands its sphere of influence outside Iraq and Syria. “ISIS comes to Libya,” by Paul Cruickshank, Nic Robertson, […]
Official PA daily incited against “rabbis” a week before Jerusalem synagogue jihad murders of four rabbis
“Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction.

Jordan queen says fight against the Islamic State is “fight for the future of the Middle East and Islam”
Will the fight against the Islamic State succeed in saving Islam? The supporters of the Islamic State can and do point to Islamic texts and teachings to justify what they do.
