Chicago Muslim teen pleads guilty to trying to join the Islamic State
“After Khan’s arraignment in January, his mother, Zarine Khan, delivered a tearful but stern message accusing ISIS recruiters of ‘the brainwashing and recruiting of children through the use of social media and the Internet.’ ‘Leave our children alone!’ she cried.” How hearteningly moderate. Here, however, is a photograph of Zarine Khan with her husband Shafi, […]

Kerry: Middle East “home of populations that are energetic, youthful, forward-looking. It is in them that we place our faith.”
Kerry is right, actually. The Islamic State is energetic, youthful, and looking forward to expanding its caliphate and eventually controlling the entire world.

Islamic State schools ban math, music, philosophy, history, French and geography as incompatible with Islam
They are following in the illustrious footsteps of the caliph Umar, who is supposed to have said when ordering the ancient, fabled library of Alexandria to be burned: “If the books agree with the Qur’an, they are superfluous.

Walmart axes IDF Halloween costume under pressure from pro-jihad groups
This is the same strategy that Islamic supremacists and their Leftist allies employ against counter-jihad speakers and writers: manufacture a controversy over their supposedly unacceptable opinions, such that people are afraid to have them speak or feature their work, for fear of accusations of “racism” and “bigotry.” They’re trying to rule resistance to jihad outside […]

“Amjad who has run a jewellers shop in Dewsbury for 17 years and a hotel in Roundhay Road, Leeds for five years had denied the offence claiming he made the notes, which included physical exercises because he was trying to lose weight.” Hamas-linked CAIR should have rushed to his defense.
