Iran’s Rouhani: Israel is the only beneficiary of Islamic disunity
The conspiracy-minded paranoiacs of Tehran see Jews hiding behind every tree, and want the trees to cry out, “O Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.” “Iranian President Rouhani: Israel the only beneficiary of Islamic disunity,” Jerusalem Post, December 27, 2015: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani spoke at the opening of […]
Phone records reveal San Bernardino Muslim cleric to be lying: he knew SB jihad murderers well
“Abbassi maintained at a press conference that he didn’t know Farook any better than he knew the reporters in the room. But members of the mosque say Farook was a fixture there. He had been coming to pray and study at least three times a week for two years. In fact, he memorized the Koran […]
Muslim who plotted jihad attack in Times Square also stabbed a 9-year-old boy in botched Islamic State audition
Savagery. “If you look at the video, it looks like he was trying to slit his throat.” As the Qur’an says: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (47:4) “Student who ‘plotted a terrorist attack on Times Square and tried to kill an FBI also stabbed a boy, 9, in the neck in a […]
France: School warned about Paris jihad murderer, but warnings were ignored
Apparently to have passed such warnings on to police would have been “Islamophobic.” “School’s Warnings About Paris Attacker Were Not Passed On,” by Sewell Chan and Milan Schreuer, New York Times, December 26, 2015: LONDON — He was the youngest of the participants in the Paris terrorist attacks, a baby-faced 20-year-old whose attention had drifted […]
Islamic State claims responsibility for jihad martyrdom suicide attack at Bangladesh Ahmadi mosque
The Ahmadiyya believe in a prophet after Muhammad, which makes them heretics in the eyes of orthodox Sunni Muslims. It is bitterly ironic that in the U.S., Ahmadi spokesman such as Qasim Rashid, Harris Zafar and Kashif Chaudhry eagerly carry water for those who oppress them elsewhere. “ISIS Claims Reasonability [sic] For Suicide Attack At […]
Bethlehem: Muslims greet Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem with a hail of stones
Knowledgable Christians in the U.S. know that the sole person at fault here is Fouad Twal. Why was he poking Muslims in the eye and provoking them by daring to enter Bethlehem? Doesn’t he realize that to be a Christian, much less the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, in Bethlehem presents a continuing danger? He should […]

“Palestinian” Muslims torch Christian town’s Christmas tree

Germany: Muslims beat Christians after Christmas celebrations: “I’m a Muslim, what are you?”
This is all the Christians’ fault, obviously. They didn’t show enough solidarity with Islam. Perhaps Fr. Ron Rolheiser can jet over to Berlin and apologize to the attackers on behalf of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles and Christians everywhere who know better than to “provoke” Muslims and “poke them in the eye.” “Christians […]
Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles: “It’s time to establish a greater solidarity with Islam”
The contemporary Catholic Church has wholeheartedly endorsed that idea that Islam is a religion of peace, and that Muslims are the first victims of jihad terrorism. This proposition is enforced as an iron dogma, the one non-negotiable point in today’s comfortable suburban Church: anything goes, everything is winked at, moral teaching is discarded or ignored […]
World’s oldest Qur’an supports claim that an existing text was changed to create the Islamic holy book
“This gives more ground to what have been peripheral views of the Quran’s genesis, like that Muhammad and his early followers used a text that was already in existence and shaped it to fit their own political and theological agenda, rather than Muhammad receiving a revelation from Heaven.” Or that others later used a text […]

Bosnia foils Islamic State jihad mass murder plot in Sarajevo

Islamic State caliph al-Baghdadi: “Jews, soon you shall hear from us in Palestine which will become your grave”
Meanwhile, however, opposition forces are getting so close to the caliphate’s capital that he might not have a chance to make good on his threats against Israel. “Islamic State leader Baghdadi goads West in rare audio statement,” by Josie Ensor, Telegraph, December 26, 2015: The leader of Islamic State has released an alternative Christmas message […]
Illinois: Muslim National Guard soldier planned Paris-style jihad mass murder on US soil, tried to join the Islamic State
He was in the National Guard. He converted to Islam and plotted to massacre 150 non-Muslims and join the Islamic State. Authorities remain uncurious, however, about the process of converting to Islam and how Islamic texts and teachings may incite converts to commit acts of violence. “National Guard soldier ‘who planned Paris-style attack on US […]
UK Muslims provide less than 10% of terror tips, boycott anti-radicalization program
Yet remember: David Cameron is betting the future of Britain on cooperation and loyalty from these Muslim communities and leaders. He is, in other words, ensuring that Britain’s future will feature bloodshed, chaos and civil war. The situation in the U.S. is little different, as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the media’s go-to […]
Robert Spencer at Breitbart: “Allahu akbar” doesn’t mean what media says it means
Over at Breitbart today I explain how the phrase “Allahu akbar” means almost everything — except what the establishment media says it means: Media outlets routinely mangle the true meaning of “Allahu akbar,” the ubiquitous battle cry of Islamic jihadists as they commit mass murder. The war-cry is mistranslated in the Western media as “God […]
