Spurious moral equivalence employed in order to divert attention from the real threat. My latest at The Geller Report: It was reported Friday that “a trio of House Democrats say President Trump is making a mistake pushing for counter-extremism efforts to focus only on radical Islam….Friday’s letter was signed Democratic Reps. Bennie Thompson (Md.), Eliot […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Obama’s claim “no religious rationale” for terrorism
Is there really “no religious rationale” for terrorism, as Barack Obama has said? In this new video, I show why that is a false assumption that leads to wrong and repeatedly failed policies.
The Psycho and Pseudo Jihad
Whenever Muslims engage in behavior that ostensibly contradicts Islam—from doing recreational drugs and watching porn to killing fellow Muslims—Islam’s apologists loudly proclaim “Aha, see, they’re not true Muslims!” Or, in the words of CIA head John Brennan on the Islamic State: “They are terrorists, they’re criminals. Most—many—of them are psychopathic thugs, murderers who use […]
John Brennan is completely unqualified to be Director of Central Intelligence
Robert Spencer wrote this yesterday: Is it widely known that there is a top intelligence official in the Obama Administration’s CIA who has converted to Islam? Yes. It was reported in none other than the Washington Post in 2012. Why couldn’t it be Brennan? The movie Zero Dark Thirty about the killing of Osama bin […]
CIA top dog: Jihad terror groups “are driven by this ideology that is not rooted in Islam”
Brennan said that “princes, presidents, and prime ministers throughout the Middle East” were “outraged that their community, the Muslim community, has been affected by this cancer – individuals who have this distorted and very perverted interpretation of Islam that pursue these psychopathic agendas of horrific violence. They recognize that they have a very important role, […]
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 […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: It Was John Brennan Himself Who Halted LEO Training on Islam, Jihad
Over at PJ Media today I discuss John Brennan’s hypocrisy in lamenting the “global reach” of the Islamic State when he has done so much to enable it: While testifying in an open session of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, CIA director John Brennan admitted Thursday: Despite all our progress against ISIL on the […]
FBI training material purge likely caused agency to drop the ball on Orlando jihad mass murderer
On October 19, 2011, Farhana Khera of Muslim Advocates wrote a letter to John Brennan, who was then the Assistant to the President on National Security for Homeland Security and Counter Terrorism. The letter was signed not just by Khera, but by the leaders of virtually all the significant Islamic groups in the United States: […]
CIA director says secret 9/11 report pages full of hearsay, inaccurate info
The Obama administration continues to run interference for the Saudis. These 28 pages have not been redacted for so long because they contain “uncorroborated, unvetted information.” And why would the 911 Commission report contain such information, anyway? Why wouldn’t it have been corrected at the time of the report’s publication, or at any time thereafter? […]
Islamic State expanding in Libya and across wide area of Africa
“The rising threat from Libya comes as President Obama is being asked by many of his top military and intelligence advisers to approve the broader use of American military force in Libya to open another front against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.” He created this opportunity for the Islamic State with […]
