Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Scholars’ Ink, Martyrs’ Blood in Afghanistan

By

  Rice University sociology professor Craig Considine, a self-proclaimed “Islamic apologist,” likes to quote the dubious hadith that the “ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.” In his argumentation, this canonical narrative about Islam’s prophet Muhammad evinces Islam’s pacific nature, yet Muslim scholars often inspire the shedding of martyrs’ […]

Saudi Arabia between Machiavelli and Muhammad

By

  House Taskforce on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare Director Yossef Bodansky described Saudi Arabia’s monarchy as “cynically pragmatic” in his 1999 book, Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America. As he documented, the life of the terrorist-mastermind Osama bin Laden exemplified how rulers in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh have often instrumentalized religious zeal […]

Islam’s Crisis and Osama bin Laden

By

  In 1999, House Taskforce on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare director Yossef Bodansky noted that “starting in the late 1970s, Islamist thinkers could see no way out of the crisis of Islam except for an all-out confrontation with the West.” His pre-9/11 book, Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America, remains revealing and […]

Jihad Through Michael Scheuer’s Eyes

By

CIA analyst Michael Scheuer emphasized the “overwhelming centrality of religion in all of [Osama] bin Laden’s activities” in his 2002 book Through Our Enemies’ Eyes: Osama bin Laden, Radical Islam, and the Future of America. Twenty bloody, trauma-filled years after Al Qaeda’s devastating September 11, 2001, attacks, Scheuer’s writing remains as relevant as ever, however […]

New York Times Calls Osama bin Laden a ‘Devoted Family Man’

By

  My latest in PJ Media: It’s no surprise, really, considering the fact that, as the perspicacious Stephen Kruiser noted Thursday, the New York Times is no longer a news source, but “one big hyperventilating leftist Opinion section.” Still, to see the Times refer to Osama bin Laden as a “devoted family man” was startling, and even the Times’ editorial politburo seemed to […]

New York Times hails Osama bin Laden as a ‘devoted family man’

By

Imagine what the New York Times’ coverage will be like when some prominent foe of jihad violence and Sharia oppression dies. “Far-right”…”Stoked anger”…”Courted controversy”…even “Incited violence.” There will be nary a sympathetic word. But for Osama bin Laden, sure. After all, his world view and that of the New York Times are simpatico, at least […]

Pakistan’s Khan says Osama bin Laden was ‘martyred,’ Foreign Minister says he was ‘quoted out of context’

By

There are plenty of public pronouncements from Khan that make it likely that he did mean it. Claiming that an inconvenient statement has been taken “out of context” is a common tactic of Islamic supremacists worldwide, and their Leftist marks fall for it every time. “PM Imran calling Osama bin Laden a martyr was a […]

Biden boasts about raid that killed Osama bin Laden, despite opposing it at the time

By

Reality doesn’t matter anymore. The propaganda media organs constantly cover for this man and his handlers’ regime, and so expect that it will be increasingly hard to find any actual statement to the effect that Biden opposed the bin Laden raid. Meanwhile, Biden’s handlers are busy enabling and appeasing other forces that have the same […]

Former Pakistani ambassador to US says Osama bin Laden funded former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif

By

So did the United States government, all through the same period, despite numerous indications that the Pakistanis were playing a double game. The infidels were just so very, very eager to be fooled. “Osama bin Laden supported, funded Nawaz Sharif: Ex-Pak envoy Abida Hussain,” ANI, January 31, 2021: Al Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden had […]
