This denial and projection are familiar tactics of Islamic supremacists. Back in 2006, I received a series of venomous emails from a prominent “moderate Muslim,” Professor Khaleel Mohammed of San Diego State University, accusing me of “shameless lies” about Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. When I asked him to specify the lies, he responded: “As […]

Netherlands: Two Muslims arrested for recruiting jihadists for Islamic State
But…but…Geert Wilders is a racist! “Dutch Police: Suspected Jihad Recruiters Arrested,” Associated Press, August 28, 2014: Dutch police say they have arrested two men suspected of recruiting people to fight in Syria and Iraq, the latest arrests in a long-running investigation into home-grown jihadis heading to the Middle East. Police and prosecutors said one man […]
Islamic jihadists capture 43 UN peacekeepers in Golan Heights
These UN peacekeepers are doing a great job, aren’t they? It is a wonder that, seeing the Islamic jihadists coming, the peacekeepers didn’t cry out, “Hail, comrade!” and rush to embrace them. “U.N. says 43 Golan peacekeepers seized by militants, 81 trapped,” by Louis Charbonneau, Reuters, August 28, 2014 (thanks to Maxwell): (Reuters) – Militants […]
Second U.S. Muslim killed waging jihad for Islamic State
“In a Facebook messages [sic] to an MPR reporter, Muhumed wrote ‘I give up this worldly life for Allah’ and ‘Allah loves those who fight for his cause.’ A picture posted on the social network showed Muhumed carrying a Koran in one hand and a rifle in the other.” He gave his life for Allah […]
Hostage’s mother appeals to caliph, lectures him on Islam
Shirley Sotloff is a grieving mother, and so whatever she says can be excused under that rubric. Nonetheless, her video is fascinating in numerous ways. She tells the caliph that her son was over there to chronicle the suffering of Muslims — i.e., look, Abu Bakr, this guy could be useful to you alive. She […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: The Islamic State Has Nothing to Do With Islam?
In FrontPage I discuss the latest round of denial and obfuscation from Western leaders: Whatever they may disagree about, Western leaders are in complete agreement about one thing: the new self-styled caliphate, the Islamic State, has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. It’s a comforting, reassuring vision for Western non-Muslims facing a massive influx of […]
Spain Friday sermon: “Oh Allah, destroy the plundering Jews…do not spare a single one”
In Italy, an imam who prayed the same thing was expelled from the country. If Spanish authorities have any residual sense of honor or justice, they will likewise expel Sheik Saleheoldine El Moussaoui from the country. In the meantime, this increasingly open, virulent and violent Jew-hatred remains unnoticed by the international “human rights” organizations. They […]
Al-Qaeda and Obama-backed Free Syrian Army seize Golan Heights border crossing
Obama-backed Free Syrian Army forces were among the group seizing this crossing. There is no doubt that the jihadists fighting against the Assad regime in Syria have designs on Israel. After all, the destruction of the Jewish State is a foremost jihad imperative. This new development may make Netanyahu regret that he didn’t follow through […]
Boston Marathon jihad murderer’s sister charged in NYC bomb threat
Will there be an avalanche of stories talking about the discrimination and isolation that Ailina Tsarnaeva has faced in the U.S., after the pattern of the sympathetic and almost laudatory (Rolling Stone) coverage of her brothers’ jihad mass murders? Or has she not killed enough people to warrant such sympathy from our thoroughly compromised mainstream […]
Ohio: School on lockdown after Muslim threatens to murder children over Israel-Hamas conflict
Hamas savagery comes to the U.S.: “He identified himself as ‘Mohammed Shehad’…My sense is that due to the way he identified himself it sounds like he was upset at Israel.” Or this could simply be an attempt to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60), or even a jihad-chic hoax. […]
Iran tests new, advanced machine to refine uranium
What could possibly go wrong? The world is more peaceful than it ever has been, says Barack Obama. And the Iranians say that their nuclear program is peaceful. They wouldn’t lie to us, now, would they? And anyway, to strike against them would be to enable the Islamic State. To aid them, on the other […]
At behest of Hamas-linked CAIR, DoJ sues Minnesota town for rejecting mosque
The town rejected the Islamic center on zoning grounds, but at a meeting, some opponents of the project “made disparaging remarks about the Muslim faith.” Time to call in the Thought Police! Time for Obama’s feds to force the mosque on this city! It is impossible to have a mature discussion about mosques in the […]
Australia: Muslim arrested at airport, headed for Islamic State and jihad
How many Muslims in Western countries support the Islamic State, agree with the Islamic State, plan to or would like to wage jihad with the Islamic State? No one knows. Political correctness has forbidden us to ask such questions, much less to get answers. “Counter-terrorist unit stops would-be jihadist at Sydney Airport as security increased,” […]
Poll: 89% of “Palestinians” support jihad terror attacks on Israel
“As Israelis wait to see if yet another ceasefire agreement with Hamas will hold…” Here’s news: it won’t hold. The “Palestinian” jihadis will break it as soon as they deem it to be in their advantage to do so. And when they do, they can be secure in the knowledge that the UN, Barack Obama […]
Tennessee imam who called Jews and Christians “filthy” uses ban on Foley vid to argue for blasphemy laws
Yasir Qadhi is an imam in Memphis, Tennessee. He is also Dean of Academic Affairs at the Al-Maghrib Institute. He is a hafiz — that is, he has memorized the entire Qur’an. He has an M.A. in the Islamic Creed and a B.A. in Islamic Sciences from Islamic University of Medina, as well as a […]
Leftists enraged over Robin Williams Emmy tribute including “racist” joke about oppression of Muslim women
What race is the oppression of Muslim women again? I keep forgetting. In any case, are women oppressed in Iran? Certainly, but do not speak of it: to do so would be “racist.” This is the number that Leftists and Islamic supremacists have done on the popular culture: any reference, even a joke, to Sharia-related […]
Muslim cleric: Zionists in Israel so that “promise of Allah will be fulfilled: ‘We have brought you in droves so that it will be easier to slaughter and kill you'”
Sheik Muhammad Abu Rajab, aka Qa’qa’ of Gaza, is quite certain that jihad involves the slaughter of unbelievers, particularly Jews. He is also quite certain that his audience will think the same way. Are “moderate” Muslim leaders in the U.S. doing anything about this massive misunderstanding of Islam? Are Ahmed Rehab and Feisal Abdul Rauf […]
Incoming Turkish PM says he will repair damage of last 90 years, but not restore the Ottoman Empire
“The new program does not aim to regress 90 years back but rather seeks to repair the republic, democracy, foreign policy and a model of the economy that has been ‘injured’ for the past 90 years” — that is, essentially for the whole life of the secular Turkish Republic. Ninety years ago was 1924, the […]
Muslim groups demand mandatory retraining of all federal, state, local law enforcement officials who may have learned truth about jihad
They got the FBI and other federal agencies in 2011 to remove all mention of Islam and jihad in connection with terrorism from counter-terror training materials, and to fire counter-terror trainers (including me) who spoke the truth about how Islamic jihadists used the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits. Now, […]
Hamas celebrates “victory” in ceasefire with Israel
The original goal of Operation Protective Edge had been to destroy Hamas. That is now off the table, to the detriment of all free people. “Hamas victory celebrations should not be easily dismissed,” by David Horovitz, Times of Israel, August 26, 2014: The ostensible end of Israel-Hamas hostilities took effect at 7 p.m. Israel time […]
