On the day of judgment the idols the unbelievers invoke will leave them in the lurch (41:48). When Allah makes a man prosper, he forgets that he will one day die and be judged (41:50).

Al Qaeda urges lone wolves to target whites in America to clarify its message of jihad
Obama’s mulish resolve to steer clear of terms that identify America’s worst enemy, Islamic jihad, has been unexpectedly challenged by al Qaeda, of all groups.

Benghazi: Hillary’s “inaction on numerous requests for additional security…reveals a serious lack of competence”
“Placing trust in the various militia factions to set aside their longstanding differences and establish a governing body in the war torn country illustrates another amateur mistake.” This was no amateur mistake.

“Modern Islam Is Already Impossible”
“You can not reform a religion. If they are reformed, [the original meaning] is separated from it. Therefore, modern Muslims and a modern Islam is already impossible.
