Jihad Watch: Left or Right?
I haven’t wanted to do this, but I have been requested now to do so, as there is an ongoing partisan rumble in the comments field that detracts from what we are trying to do here as much as do the intemperate comments CAIR tried to hang me with (although I didn’t write them) and […]

Bin Laden WMD chief once lived in Canada

Philippines: converts to Islam helping jihadists, slipping by cops
Why do converts to Islam turn to violent jihad? Because they are misled by jihadists, or because they approach the Qur’an and Hadith without cultural baggage, and see its demands clearly?
