Over at FrontPage Mag (via RaymondIbrahim.com), I discuss how understanding Obama’s failed Mideast policy is as easy as understanding the bully mentality when appeased: In an era of high education and specialty degrees””from psychology to political science””perhaps it was inevitable for simple common sense to fall by the wayside. The embassy attacks across the Muslim […]

The coming showdown with Islamic supremacists
Here is an interview with FrontPage mag editor, talk show host, and amiable raconteur Jamie Glazov about his boffo new book, High Noon for America: “Showdown With Islamists,” by Ryan Mauro at FrontPage, October 29: …Mauro: To be fair, in his speech at the U.N., President Obama did rule out placing restrictions on criticism of […]
Tanzania’s Vice President warns Muslim clerics to cut out the hate speech
Dr Mohamed Gharib Bilal has just become the first and only national leader in any country to acknowledge publicly that some Muslim clerics engage in hate speech and justify it using the Qur’an. In the West the focus is on the false claim that those trying to resist the jihad and Islamic supremacism are the […]
Sharia in action in the Islamic Republic of Iran: Man gets six months prison for walking dog
“Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50 “Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered […]
Google Translate Persian (May Allah’s mercy be upon it) adds Islamic religious honorifics after names of Muhammad, Khomeini, other revered Muslims
This post at selfscholar is from September 13, but this “bug” has not been “repaired.” I just tried it not only with Khomeini, but with “prophet Muhammad,” and the honorifics were added. Google Translate Arabic, however, doesn’t do this. “Google Translate’s Khomeini Problem,” from selfscholar, September 13: Although tagged under “religious freedom,” this post more […]
Benghazi consulate attackers beat guard, calling him “an infidel protecting infidels who insulted the prophet”
And Obama did nothing but lie and attack the freedom of speech. “Libyan witnesses recount organized Benghazi attack,” by Paul Schemm and Maggie Michael for the Associated Press, October 27 (thanks to 538): TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) “” It began around nightfall on Sept. 11 with around 150 bearded gunmen, some wearing the Afghan-style tunics favored […]
Iraq: Muhammad filmmakers murder over 30 Muslims during Eid — no, wait…
Oddly enough, it was Sunni Muslims misunderstanding their peaceful religion and murdering Shi’ites. Doubtless they somehow got old of some Islamophobic literature that confused them as to the nature of Islam. “Baghdad blasts kill more than 30 over Eid holiday,” by Raheem Salman for Reuters, October 27 (thanks to Kenneth): BAGHDAD – Violence in Iraq […]
Obama offered to reestablish full ties with Iran
Iran has been in a virtual state of war with the United States since 1979. But who cares? “Obama offered to reestablish full ties with Iran, Israeli paper reports,” by Joshua Davidovich for the Times of Israel, October 28 (thanks to Mackie): Soon after he took office, President Barack Obama began a process ultimately designed […]
Islamophobes murder four in attack on Muslim shrine — no, wait…
Oddly enough, it seems to have been the Taliban, who object to such shrines in the name of the purity of Islamic doctrine. “Police say bomb explodes outside shrine in northwest Pakistan, killing 4,” from the Associated Press, October 28 (thanks to S.B.): PESHAWAR, Pakistan “” A powerful bomb went off outside the shrine of […]
Saudi king calls for criminalization of criticism of Islam
More pressure against the freedom of speech. Watch for much, much more of this in the second Obama term, if there is one. “Saudi king urges UN action against religious insults,” from AFP, October 27 (thanks to Block Ness): AFP – Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz on Saturday demanded a UN resolution condemning insults on […]

Israel rattled by rise in anti-Semitic rhetoric from Egypt

Lebanon arrests two Malaysian suspected suicide bombers, Al Qaeda members
Tiny minority of extremists update: The ideology that inspired these two as yet unidentified Malaysians to travel to the Middle East intending to commit murder is of course undisclosed and unexamined in the following Malaysian media piece.

Indonesia arrests 11 Misunderstanders of Islam plotting jihad attack on U.S. Embassy
But remember: the real problem is “Islamophobia.” “Indonesia Arrests 11 People Suspected of Planning Terror Attack Against U.S. Embassy,” by Madeleine Morgenstern for the Associated Press, October 27 (thanks to Mackie): JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) “” Indonesia’s anti-terror squad arrested 11 people suspected of planning a range of attacks on domestic and foreign targets including the […]
Pakistan: School textbooks teach hatred of non-Muslims
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. As I explained here in connection with similar textbooks in Saudi Arabia, there is abundant material in the Qur’an and Sunnah to support this hatred. “‘Hate content against religious minorities rampant in school textbooks across Pakistan,’” from ANI, October 25 (thanks to Lachlan): Islamabad, Oct. 25 (ANI): Textbooks used in Pakistan’s […]
How the Media Construct Myths
How the Media Construct Myths by Enza Ferreri Sometimes we wonder how it is possible that the public believes so easily what the media and the elites tell them, about Islam and its threat, for instance. I’ve gained an insight into this by watching the second presidential debate on the TV, after which the media […]

In “Darkness Descending in England” in the American Thinker, October 26, Pamela Geller details the British government’s extra-legal persecution of those trying to defend England from jihad and Sharia: The arrest of over 53 people in the United Kingdom is the beginning of the end for once-great Britain. The leaders of the English Defence League […]
Is the foe religious or political?
Recently the Wall Street Journal published an analysis of Obama’s foreign policy failures that, aside from a few nods in the direction of the reigning politically correct fictions about the relationship of the jihad doctrine to Islam itself, was surprisingly clear-sighted: “Feith and Cropsey: A Foreign Policy Failure to Acknowledge the Obvious,” by Douglas J. […]
American publishers shocked! shocked! to find hatred of Jews and Christians taught in Saudi textbooks
These American publishers rightly excoriate the hatred of Jews and Christians and Islamic supremacism in Saudi textbooks, but they shouldn’t be surprised by it: it is simply Qur’anic Islam, although I am sure these men have been so filled with Religion of Peace nonsense by politically correct propagandists that they have no idea of that. […]
Sharia in action in Somalia: Woman stoned to death for adultery
Stoning adulterers is not “extremist”; it is Islamic law. The caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s closest companions, even maintained that it was originally in the Qur’an: ‘Umar said, “I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, “We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the […]
