In a prison cell on the […]

Al-Qaeda reportedly sends emissary with famine aid to Somali jihadists
Officially, al-Shabaab calls the famine declaration a conspiracy. It may have occurred to al-Qaeda that the Somali jihadists’ willingness to starve the country into submission might be bad for business, or there may have been private appeals from al-Shabaab. In any event, what is of additional interest to U.S. officials in this case is the […]
Kenya: Self-described member of al-Shabaab claims Nairobi grenade attacks
The good news is that Kenya apprehended this bomber. The bad news is that this pair of somewhat amateurish, opportunistic free-lance jihadist attacks is almost certain not to be al-Shabaab’s main event in Kenya. Al-Shabaab has actually denied any connection to these attacks, which fall outside of its recent tendencies toward suicide attacks, and the […]
Kent State professor reportedly yells “Death to Israel” at event with Israeli diplomat
This guy again: “In March 2007, a KSU official said that [Julio] Pino, 48, had acknowledged providing news stories to a jihadist Web site but had stopped.” “Kent St. prof. reportedly yells “˜Death to Israel” at event with Israeli diplomat,” by Christopher Santarelli for The Blaze, October 26: A Kent State history professor, who has […]
Hutton Hotel exec lies, smears freedom fighters in explaining why he caved to threats and canceled freedom conference
Pamela Geller has here the actual letter that Steve Eckley, a senior vice president of the management company that runs the Hutton Hotel, sent to Lou Ann Zelenik. He says that “at least two of your speakers have a history of enraging people to the point of violence.” That would be, as is clear from […]
Obama: It “only cost us a billion dollars” to install Sharia regime in Libya
And just watch for the dividends that will come in from that billion: oppression of women (polygamy has already been legalized in Libya), oppression of non-Muslims (a Jew who returned to Libya after decades in exile has already been harassed and deported), the denial of free speech and the freedom of conscience, and more virulent […]
Tennessee: Junior ROTC refuses uniform exception for hijab
Exceptions to a uniform defeat the purpose of having one, making the exception stand out and calling attention to it. That appears to be precisely the idea here. It is a curious inversion of logic, also seen in the story about prayer spaces at the Catholic University of America, and the prayer break dispute with […]
Surprise! Indonesian court slashes top jihadist cleric’s jail sentence
When Abu Bakr Bashir was sentenced, we wrote: “how much Bashir actually serves of a 15-year prison term in Indonesia will be anyone’s guess.” The reduction in his sentence has occurred very quietly, with no explanation given. Now, it is officially down to nine years, and that will not be the end of the story. […]
Virginia Senate candidate Tim Kaine speaks at dinner honoring top Muslim Brotherhood official
In “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America,” by Mohamed Akram, May 19, 1991, Muslim Brotherhood operatives in the U.S. are told that they “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” […]
Muslim students at Catholic University of America complain that Christian symbols make them uncomfortable when they pray in empty classrooms
UPDATE: In recent days, word has gotten out that apparently no CUA students are party to Banzhaf’s suit, though the effort remains an equally insidious social engineering effort against CUA. The agenda remains the same. Crucifixes? At a Catholic university? How about that. Of course, at the heart of this complaint is the hope of […]
Spencer: Greetings to Avpixlat
Avpixlat.info is a new Swedish-language pro-freedom website. In this video, I welcome it to the front lines and tweak a Swedish “journalist” who was prematurely celebrating the demise of freedom in Sweden.
Geller: The Justice Department’s war on the truth
In “The Justice Department’s war on the truth” in WND today, Pamela Geller discusses the Obama Administration’s new ban on speaking about the Islamic jihad threat accurately, which I examined here: The U.S. Department of Justice is becoming a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Obama administration is bowing to Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups and stopping […]
Saudi cleric offers $100,000 to anyone who kidnaps Israeli soldiers
In 2004, Awad al-Qarni was one of 26 Islamic scholars who signed a statement encouraging jihadist attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq, saying “A Muslim must not inflict harm on any resistance man or inform about them. Instead, they should be supported and protected.” Now, on his Facebook page, he has said “any Palestinian who […]
Coordinated bombings in 16 locations kill 3 in Thai south
The intrepid mujahedin, taking the fight to shops, hotels, and schools. “Bombings in Thai south kill 3, wound dozens,” from the Associated Press, October 26 (thanks to Twostellas): PATTANI, Thailand (AP) “” Thailand’s military said more than a dozen coordinated bomb attacks in the country’s insurgency-plagued south Tuesday killed at least three people and injured […]
Victorious Tunisian Islamists seek to ‘reassure’ secular Tunisians
Taqiyya alert: As Tunisia’s Islamists chalk up the first of likely many electoral victories in the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ in Tunisia’s elections, they are seeking to reassure the nervous, secular (i.e. less than pious) Muslims that they’re not going to set up a religious dictatorship. At least not right away. Why would anyone need to […]
Exec for Nashville’s Hutton Hotel confirms that it canceled anti-jihad conference over threats of violence from Islamic supremacists
Confirming yet again that terrorism works, and that all too many Americans no longer have the courage of their forefathers to defend liberty at whatever cost. Islamic supremacists threatened the hotel over our conference, and the hotel immediately gave in to their violent intimidation. “Conference on Islam canceled as hotel fears head-bashing: Corporate exec reacted […]
Contact the Hutton Hotel, urge them to reconsider their capitulation to Islamic supremacist threats and cancellation of freedom conference
This is a free speech issue. The Hutton Hotel has no right to cancel our event or any event because it doesn’t like the point of view presented. In canceling the conference because it received threats, the Hutton Hotel is kowtowing to violence and showing that terrorism works, instead of doing what it should do: […]
Geller: Reading the real Qur’an
In “Reading the Real Qur’an” in the American Thinker this morning, Pamela Geller reads into the “real translation” that Islamic apologist Mike Ghouse gave her on the Sean Hannity Show last Friday night: Last Friday I was on the Sean Hannity Show, debating Muslim activist Michael Ghouse on the future of Libya. Debating Michael Ghouse […]

Human Rights Watch warns of cover-up of Egyptian massacre of Christians
The cover-up of the October 9 massacre is well underway. It was reported on October 13 that the Egyptian military was taking over the investigation of its own massacre of Coptic protesters, which was aided by incitement from state television, from the civilian prosecutor. Below are additional developments, as the “Arab Spring” progresses into an […]
