The politically correct willful ignorance that dominates our response to the jihad threat has lethal consequences. My latest in PJ Media: While Omar Mateen was casing other gay clubs to determine where he wanted to commit jihad mass murder, law enforcement officials had no idea a jihadi might ever consider such targets. On Sunday, the […]
Omar Mateen was gay, was a regular at club where he committed jihad mass murder
In the never-ending quest to exonerate Islam of responsibility for atrocities committed in its name and in accord with its teachings, the latest scenario is that Omar Mateen had homosexual desires and was deeply conflicted, finally lashing out violently against those who represented the tendencies he hated within himself.

That leaves us regrettably dependent on the […]
Obama: Orlando jihad killer inspired by “propaganda and perversions of Islam”
Exactly how was the Orlando jihad massacre a perversion of Islam? Obama didn’t say, of course. It would have been refreshing if he had deigned to address the fact that the Qur’an says: “If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, leave them alone; for Allah […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Ramadan in Orlando, 50 Dead, 53 Wounded
In FrontPage today I discuss the familiar denial and obfuscation from the Left in the face of the jihad threat: It was the worst mass shooting ever on American soil: Omar Mateen, 29, opened fire at the Pulse, an Orlando, Florida gay nightclub, on Saturday night. Mateen murdered at least fifty people and wounded another […]
