The Nigerian government shouldn’t be negotiating with these mass-murdering jihadist thugs in the first place. But where are all the moderate Muslim spokesmen to explain to Boko Haram that they’re Misunderstanding Islam, and that it’s a Religion of Peace that doesn’t involve waging war against infidels? “Nigerian Islamists reject talks with government: spokesman,” from AFP, […]

Germany mulling surveillance of “Islamophobes”
There was a jihad murder in Frankfurt last March. The jihadist murderer was inspired by a jihadist rapper in Germany. They’ve seen Islamic honor killing. In response, German authorities are stepping up monitoring of mosques and of Islamic communities in Germany, right? Of course not. Get real. They’re planning surveillance of “Islamophobes” — i.e., those […]
Tancredo on the Perry curriculum: Perry’s Muslim blind spot
Amid the Perry camp’s patent dishonesty over what exactly the content of the curriculum really is, and brusque dismissal and ad hominem attacks against those who dare to raise questions about it, it is good to see former Congressman Tom Tancredo seeing things more clearly and confronting the problem more honestly. “Governor Perry”s Muslim blind […]
American Library Association recommends reading Qur’an for “Banned Books Week”
The American Library Association is a foremost bastion of Useful Idiots who talk a good game about censorship and the dangers of book banning, but are led by their political biases into inconsistency in their understanding of what constitutes a “Banned Book.” What they really mean by “Banned Books Week” is “Books Disliked by Conservatives […]

What “radicalized” this guy, one too many drummer jokes?

Experts dismiss Iran’s threat to deploy ships near U.S. waters as “bombastic rhetoric”
Someone overreached a bit in the saber-rattling. The cost, logistics, and the capability that would be required are simply too much. That said, analysts did note that Iran’s chances, if it were that determined to pull off such a stunt, would improve with a little help from its friends — perhaps Venezuela. More on this […]
Massachusetts: Misunderstander of Islam arrested for jihad plot to destroy Pentagon, Capitol building
What is it that “radicalizes” a “26-year-old Massachusetts man” like Rezwan Ferdaus? Reading about the exploits of Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty? A rough game of touch football with Jack, Bobby and Ted? And what, oh what, could be the inciting literature to which this poor fellow was exposed? Common Sense? Democracy In […]
L’shana tova!
Wishing a happy and sweet new year to all Jewish Jihad Watchers, and to all Jihad Watchers of whatever background who are friends of Israel. Israel is, now more than ever, on the front lines of the global jihad. With all the calls for the establishment of a Palestinian State, which would like Gaza become […]
Australia: Misunderstanders of Islam arrested in stolen car with rifles, handguns, balaclavas
Milad bin Ahmad-Shah al-Ahmadzai was arrested on charges that he broke into a cash machine.
