“Why, we ask the western world, why not raise one’s voice over so much ferocity and injustice?” asked Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI). The Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III has also said: “I do not understand why the world does not raise its voice against such acts of […]

On 10th anniversary of publication of Muhammad cartoons, Danish newspaper submits: reprints original page without cartoons
The President of the United States, the Pope, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and virtually every other Western leader has decided: the freedom of speech must be sacrificed to those who will kill us for exercising it. They have all told us that the proper response to violent intimidation is to give in to […]
Germany distributing Arabic translation of its constitution to refugees
“Refugees will have to familiarize themselves with Germany’s basic laws…, first passed in 1949 in the aftermath of World War II, featuring concepts such as freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and equal rights between men and women.” Yes, they will accept those principles readily. This will solve everything, won’t it? The refugees will read […]
UK: Convert to Islam threw acid in face of mother of six, leaving her disfigured and blind in one eye
For years we have seen women who were not thought to be dressed modestly or who were believed to have transgressed against the family honor attacked with acid by Muslims in Pakistan. Now that savage ethos is coming to Western countries. But no one would have dared try to talk Billal Kidd Mujahedin out of […]
University of Chicago gets $100 million donation to study global conflict
This is how the foreign policy establishment reinforces itself, and keeps applying the same failed policies over and over again: it’s lucrative to do so, the mainstream media never offers a challenge, so what’s the downside? “If you build a bridge, insurgents blow it up so the government won’t be successful. Cash subsidies to poor […]
Palestinian Authority’s Mahmoud Abbas says he is no longer bound by the Oslo Accords
“Mr. Abbas delivered his speech against a backdrop of growing frustration among many Palestinians over the paralysis in peace negotiations with Israel.” Maybe they’d be less frustrated if they stopped shooting rockets into Israel and ended the genocidal anti-Semitic rhetoric on “Palestinian” TV. In any case, the Oslo Accords were always for the “Palestinians” just […]
The Tables of Our Enemies
“…by defining modernity, progress, trade, consumption, and even pleasure as Western assaults on Islam, al-Qaeda left little on the table for themselves.” –Lawrence Wright, from The Looming Tower (al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11) In their book Kingmakers, Karl E. Meyer and Shareen Blair Brysac refer to a certain William Gifford Palgrave and his warning, […]
Australia: Muslim leader of “impeccable character” avoids jail after raid finds weapons, Islamic State flag, jihad DVDS, machete
“Controversial Islamic fundamentalist Wisam Haddad has avoided prison over a counter-terrorism raid on his western Sydney home that uncovered weapons, an Islamic State flag, a large stash of extremist DVDs, newspaper clippings and a machete under his bed….Police prosecutor Nick Nicholas cast doubt on Mr Haddad’s claim that he had confiscated the OC spray and […]
UK: Muslim who ran amok with knife screaming: “I’m a Muslim and I’ll chop your f***ing head” escapes deportation
He apparently can’t be deported because when he was arrested, “the Iranian Embassy was closed.” UK authorities are far too busy to come back when it is open: the UK Home Office has its hands too full making sure foes of jihad terror can’t enter the country to bother themselves with the trivial matter of […]
Italy: Muslim who had been deported but returned slashes throat of random passerby
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) Amine Aassoul should never have been allowed back into Italy after he was deported. “Moroccan gets 30 years for David Raggi murder,” by Samuel Smith, ANSA, September 29, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): (ANSA) – Terni, September 29 – A court in the […]
Obama Administration granted asylum and residency to 1,519 foreigners with terror ties
“Of the 1,519 with terrorist associations, 627 provided material support, ‘while under duress,’ to undesignated terrorist groups. Another 189 provided material support, ‘while under duress,’ to designated terrorist groups. Designated terrorist groups are the most dangerous. They are classified as Tier I and Tier II organizations and include groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda and Palestinian […]
Obama serves up cliches and falsehoods as his anti-ISIS strategy
Over at PamelaGeller.com I dissected Obama’s grand strategy for defeating the Islamic State. Platitudes, self-righteousness, distortions, tortured reasoning, self-promotion — that’s right, it’s another major speech by Barack Obama. Comments interspersed below. “Remarks by President Obama at the Leaders’ Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism,” United Nations Headquarters, September 29, 2015: PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good […]
Muslim from the U.S. is top Islamic State commander
How did a Muslim from the U.S. come to have the understanding that taking sex slaves and fighting for the Islamic State was his Islamic privilege and duty? After all, we’re constantly told that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, and that Muslims in the U.S. all reject its view of Islam. […]
Germany: Muslim refugees attack Christian refugees so often that police chief says they should be housed separately
“The police have reached their absolute breaking point. Our officials are increasingly being called to confrontations in refugee homes.” Why would the Muslim refugees target the Christian refugees? That doesn’t fit the media narrative of who these refugees are and what they are about at all. But no one will bother to offer an explanation. […]
Virginia online jihadi says he was “advocating what I believed were legitimate approaches based on Quran”
“‘I began to feel I was making an important contribution to a global movement that would result in a more just society for Muslims, and I was doing so by advocating what I believed were legitimate approaches based on Quran,’ he said. This was wrong, Ali told the judge at his sentencing. His advocacy for […]
Germany: Muslim strangles daughter to death in honor killing after she was caught stealing condoms
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a […]
Obama chairs counter-terrorism summit at UN
How can Obama possibly defeat terrorism when he consistently denies its motivating and guiding ideology? His repeated claims that the Islamic State can only be defeated if Assad is removed is based on the assumption that ISIS is not Islamic, and is just an opposition group to Assad, so that if Assad is gone, the […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Putin Bests Obama in UN Showdown on Syria
In PJ Media today, I discuss how, at the UN yesterday, Obama tripled down on his politically correct Mideast fantasies, while Putin correctly analyzed the Islamic State and Assad. Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin both spoke at the United Nations on Monday, with Putin reiterating a call he made in September for an international coalition […]
Taliban seizes major city, one of the linchpins of Afghanistan’s economy
Countless numbers of lives, billions of dollars wasted, and for what? A government that is going to fall as soon as the last U.S. troops are gone. All this outrageous and tragic waste could have been avoided, but that would have required Washington establishment analysts to drop their rosy comforting fictions about Islam and Sharia, […]
On Refugees, Be “Wise as Serpents”
Muslim migrant influx strains Christian world’s tension between being “wise as serpents, innocent as doves.” Bulgaria offers a way forward. The Bulgarian Orthodox Church has announced it will help migrants who have arrived in Bulgaria, but has urged authorities not to let any more migrants in, clarifying sharp differences between Eastern European Christian nations and […]
