FINALLY SOME TRUE PATRIOTISM AND LOVE FOR THE UNITED STATES ! ! ! ! !
TRAITOR-MUSLIM HUSSEIN OBAMA DID HIS BEST BRING US FATAL JIHAD.
But that was then, and his legacy is headed for the sewer. He did plenty of damage, as much as possible, but there is now someone in the White House who will defend the Constitution and our Freedom.

Third Jihad (movie documentary by Clarioin Project) makes things very clear: we need to fight like lions.
BHObama is in Hawai’i for the Haole-daze mixing drinks with his judicial conspirators over the Travel Ban.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Everyone here on JW.
A Big Thank You to Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller and all freedom fighters who have eyes to see and ears to hear at what is happening to our world with Islam.
Thank you JW for allowing me to give my 2 cents worth and a lot of you-tube video’s on your site.
We are all freedom fighters in the world in which we live and can try to help people understand what is happening with the Islamization of our world.
God bless you and keep you with the great work you our doing.

Concerning the subject America’s homeland Security and of Islamic suicide/homicide – bombers /attackers: They are so thoroughly brainwashed and deluded that they actually think of their murderous actions as “martyrdom operations.” This jihad evil and madness is based on the Koranic doctrine, 9:111. , of a far-fetched and nonsensical doctrine of a sex- filled paradise with many virgins, hours, in it for the use only the jihadist/Muslim male who dies as a “martyr” fighting for the cause of Islam. This weird religious/Islamic teaching is found contained the Koran in 44:56. .55:56. 78:31. This bizarre and odd, irrational Koranic doctrine is not open, to the jihadist, to inquiry, questioning, logic or reason. So this blind unreasoning kind of “faith” in the Koran is a reminder that Thomas Jefferson had written. “Man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without a rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes helm from the hand of reason and the mind becomes a wreck.” Likewise, Benjamin Franklin had printed in POOR RICHARD’S ALMANACK something which may apply to this topic. For Mr. Franklin had printed “The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.”

As Americans we should and must remember that for the United States to continue as a great power in the world in spite of the current threats of the Islamic terrorism by jihadist /Muslim terrorists who are operatives of ISIS, Al Qaeda and other jihadists of other similar jihad terror entities. Americans then should have Vigilance, Conviction and, of course, Fortitude. As one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence had declared, Thomas Jefferson, “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.” and “A conviction that we are right accomplishes half the difficulty of correcting wrong.” Likewise, Mr. Jefferson had also stated “Fortitude…teaches us to meet and surmount difficulties; not to fly from them.” So in other words we , as Americans ,should have learned keep moving on strongly with Vigilance, Conviction and Fortitude.

America is doing great with President Trump at the helm, What a change within a year especially in its foreign policy,
Its a shame that many in the US media and opposition party, are hell bent in sabotaging realistic economic progress, that ensures the prosperity of ordinary people.
Notwithstanding that, they oppose a wall on the Southern boarder with Mexico, the abolishing of chain and lottery migration, that undermines the safety of their own citizens.
Can we have Trump here for a year or two.
Sarahsays
There’s a queue, Malcolm!
I call first dibbs LOL – Australia could do with a year or two of him, too.
Mr Robert Spencer, I am a great follower of you (for at least 10 years) and I have learned a great deal from your knowledge of Islam, I have my own small yt channel called “Irishinfidel” which points out some of the obvious errors of quran, but I would like to point out something to you that is worthy of investigation,from my own research I actually learned this from an ex-muslim, he basically said that muslims are not supposed to prefer or choose to live in the lands of the mushrikeen where the religion of islam is oppressed, it more or less says so in sura 4:97, the context of this verse is about the muslims that remained in polytheist mecca when the muhammad set up the first islamic state in medina, it promises these muslims with hellfire and their excuses will never be accepted if they failed to migrate to a land where islam was not oppressed.
Of course this will reign true today in regards to the western world or any civilized nation that oppresses allahs laws, such as public amputations, executions of blasphemers, apostates, adulterers,homosexuals etc.
As you know muslims are commanded to live in a land of barbarity, sura 5:33 dictates that the muslims must live an islamic state and are to kill dissenters/corrupters of the islamic land with limb chopping and crucifixions, I have studied the bukhari hadiths regarding emigration, these all point to muslims moving to a place for the cause of allah, that is moving to an islamic state and obeying allah’s laws, then there is authentic hadith as follows…
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I have nothing to do with any Muslim who settles among the mushrikeen.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (2645)
Of course I have seen some of the counter arguments, such as muslims going on their first hijrah to christian king negus for protection and religious rights, when muhammad opportunistically stayed behind in mecca to preach the “satanic verses” where King Negus of 7th century Abbysina actually gave protection and also the precepts of the 2nd hijrah where muslims went with muhammad to medina were given protection and full religious rights by the jewish and pagan tribes, but these differ in the fact that no muslim governed land existed prior to these examples, therefore sura 4:97 came after, it is also ironic that one of the last revealed suras in the chronological quran was when muhammad was a powerful demi-god and it states states that christians and jews should never be taken as protectors of the muslims, thus showing the obvious and blatant hypocrisy of muhammad in sura 5:51, who had already used christian and jewish protection for himself and his followers to reach his status.
I have being aware of these texts for quite sometime, to the best of my knowledge they are entirely accurate and I have always found them the best at countering islamists online as they never seem to have a prepared defense against them, but I am only a small cog in the anti-islamic wheels and have only a small following of mostly exmuslims to share my thoughts with, so I wish you could investigate this further and if you think it is a strong argument then maybe you can make it public knowledge as you are one of the most outspoken or indeed the most public and commendable critics of islam and you have a bigger base of followers than you may think, I have provided my email address if you want to contact me in person to share further thoughts, but regardless of that i would like still like you to investigate it further as it will help our cause and indeed the cause of humanity to put muslims like linda sarsour and her ilk in their place, they argue trumps ban on muslims is without foundation, but sura 4:97 calls mushrikeen settling muslims “hell goers” for preferring to live amongst us, so they have no argument, if you are not personally reading this comment, I hope the moderator or another reader will pass it directly onto you, all i want is for truth and reason to prevail over barbaric sharia, I may repost this comment again, until I get affirmation it has reached you, amen

Hi Kevin, please contemplate:
“The higher rank with Allah is for those who believed AND MIGRATED and strove in His cause with their belongings and their persons. It is they who are triumphant.”
So all those young men flooding into Europe are following true Islam and seeking a “higher rank with Allah.”

Kevin, this is very simple.
Muslims are not supposed to go to Infidel lands if they plan on living under Infidel governance.
If they go in order to eventually conquer Infidels and impose Shari’ah law, then it is perfectly Islamic.

I am first an American and a Patriot! I love our Constitution, Bill of Rights, Rule of Law, our Sovereignty, and our Freedoms; however all of the above have been compromised beginning in 1848. The Federal Government cannot in accordance with our Constitution own public lands however, they stopped ceding public lands to the newly formed Western States on or about 1848, at the same time our courts stopped using Constitutional Law in favor of Case Law which led to a very corrupt judicial system. The very reason they stopped ceding lands was they knew that if controlled the water, forests, gold, silver, precious metals, oil and gas reserves, they controlled this nation, and it only got worse from this time forward.

Good Lord, I’m Australian and watching this, makes me envious! You guys have someone in charge who seems to genuinely care about his country – and is determined to put his country and its people, first.
Show me ANY other Western political Leader on the planet who is doing the same thing right now. Because I genuinely cannot think of another one.
And while I’m floating after watching that – might I add, damn he can knock out a smooth speech. He’s a very good orator and is compelling to listen to. Especially when he starts listing off on the achievements he has secured for America so far, since his inauguration. The Lefties can froth at the mouth all they like, they may hate him, they may hate his decisions and actions – but they can’t deny that Trump and his team have absolutely hit the ground running and have achieved far more than the usual first year results from most of the other Presidents.
The biggest fault I can find with Trump is that he loves Twitter too much and needs reining in. Of late, I’ve heard very little regarding his twitterisms, so either he HAS been reined in, or the mainstream media has finally gotten bored with stalking his Twitter account and trying to turn it into ‘news’.
I didn’t think he’d do a great job, to be honest. I was supportive of the idea of voting for him though – and if I were American, I would have voted for him – but my approval in that respect sat mainly with the revolutionary aspect of his candidacy. Voting for Trump was sending a sign to career Politicians that they are not welcome and not wanted anymore. I’m so far, quite sincerely pleased to have been proven wrong in my initial concerns that he’d be a lame duck POTUS.
The world has not come to an end. WW3 has not erupted at the hands of the Americans. America itself has not dialed down into a recession, or spun into civil war, despite the hysterical predictions from the Left.
And by God, it is WONDERFUL to hear a Western political Leader discuss Islam and its risks to the national security of a nation. To hear basic honesty come from his mouth, gives me so much hope for the future of all our nation’s.
Keep up the good work, Trump.

It’s just a speech, the actual strategy document is:
The “Jihadist terrorists” expression is used exactly 30 times. “Jihad” is used once.
acsays
Except for that positive aspect, there’s a lot inside that I don’t like at all:
Some parts are getting the form that even Hillary would have in her strategy. She was the candidate of the he military-industrial complex, now Trumps is “strengthening the military” to the max and the “strategy” is also writing about Russia very differently from Trump’s election speeches.
Other parts are the “pleasers” for those who voted for him because of their own beliefs and not based on (even their own) reality. That includes the reality the Pentagon is still aware of:
TRUMP RETURNS “JIHAD” TO INTELLIGENCE
But will it reverse decades of entrenched indoctrination?
December 20, 2017 Raymond Ibrahim
President Trump’s new national security strategy is set to return words relevant to understanding Islamic terrorism—such as “jihad”—that had been expunged from the Intelligence and Defense communities’ lexicon, most notably under the Obama administration. According to the new strategy document, “The primary transnational threats Americans face are from jihadist terrorists and transnational criminal organizations”; the document also vows to “pursue threats to their source, so that jihadist terrorists are stopped before they ever reach our borders.”
This is significant on several levels—the first being as basic as “knowing one’s enemy,” which President Obama had refused to do. In 2011 it was reported that “the Obama administration was pulling back all training materials used for the law enforcement and national security communities, in order to eliminate all references to Islam that some Muslim groups have claimed are offensive.” One Obama official explained the logic: “I want to be perfectly clear about this: training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong, they are offensive, and they are contrary to everything that this president, this attorney general and Department of Justice stands for. They will not be tolerated.”
It should be noted, however, that the politically correct induced paralysis that Obama championed was already well entrenched before him. Speaking in 2006 during the George W. Bush administration, William Gawthrop, a former Pentagon official, said “the senior Service colleges of the Department of Defense had not incorporated into their curriculum a systematic study of Muhammad as a military or political leader. As a consequence, we still do not have an in-depth understanding of the war-fighting doctrine laid down by Muhammad, how it might be applied today by an increasing number of Islamic groups, or how it might be countered.”
Similarly, a 2008 government memo that also appeared under Bush warned against “offending,” “insulting,” or being “confrontational” to Muslims: “Never use the terms ‘jihadist’ or ‘mujahideen’ in conversation to describe the terrorists. A mujahed, a holy warrior, is a positive characterization in the context of a just war. In Arabic, jihad means ‘striving in the path of God’ and is used in many contexts beyond warfare. Calling our enemies jihadis and their movement a global jihad unintentionally legitimizes their actions.”
Needless to say, such instructions were and are wrong on so many levels. Jihad is the antithesis of Just War; the former by nature is aggressive the latter defensive. The claim that jihad literally means “striving … and is used in many contexts beyond warfare” is as disingenuous as claiming that the words “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” literally denote a friend of one gender or the other, and nothing more. In both cases reality is more complex: just as a “boyfriend/girlfriend” implies a very specific kind of friend to Western ears, so too does “jihad” imply a very specific kind of struggle to Muslims ears—armed warfare against the infidel to make Islam supreme. Finally, the claim that “calling our enemies jihadis … legitimizes their actions” is beyond silly: Muslims are hardly waiting for Americans—“infidels”—to confer or withhold Islamic legitimacy on anything. They have their own Islamic scriptures, law, and clerics for that.
Stripped of all words dealing with Islam, how were analysts to understand jihadi motivations, tactics, strategies, goals, and a myriad of other considerations? Far from taking the most basic advice regarding warfare—Sun Tzu’s ancient dictum, “Know your enemy”— the U.S. government could not even acknowledge the enemy.
Nor does much seem to have changed, at least in the Legislative branch. Five months ago, and by a vote of 208-217, the U.S. House of Representatives voted down an amendment that would require the Defense Department to conduct “strategic assessments of the use of violent or unorthodox Islamic religious doctrine to support extremist or terrorist messaging and justification.” The rational given by those voting it down is familiar: Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that “terrorist killers have used religious doctrines and concepts from every major religion on earth … Focusing on (Islam) exacerbates the problem by fomenting the myth that religious fanaticism and terrorism are unique to the charlatans and predators of Islam.” Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) denounced the amendment’s inability to “apply its arbitrary surveillance equally” by “includ[ing] assessments of White supremacist terrorism or terrorism committed against abortion clinics and doctors.”
But as Clifford Smith observes: “While few people in the U.S. military are likely to come face to face with an angry and armed racist or anti-abortion activist in the line of duty, radical Islamists make it their business to kill Americans in nearly every corner of the world…. [I]t is unsupportable to say that all religions are the same, or that all religions have equally threatening ideological trends at all points in history.”
Here, then, is the greater point: that a majority of the House of Representatives voted down what is an otherwise commonsensical amendment is a reminder that the issue of ignoring jihadi ideology and seeing only generic terrorism has always transcended the activities of Obama and permeated a significant portion of American society—including, no doubt, in the Intelligence community.
Trump’s return of terminology relevant to the question of Islamic terrorism is certainly a step in the right direction. Yet, he is one man; and just as Obama was one man who did not create but rather championed the politically correct approach to Islam, it still remains to be seen how far the return of such terms will overcome decades of indoctrination.

And by God, it is WONDERFUL to hear a Western political Leader discuss Islam and its risks to the national security of a nation. To hear basic honesty come from his mouth, gives me so much hope for the future of all our nation’s.
Keep up the good work, Trump.

It’s just a speech, the actual strategy document is:

Fitting for the name of this site:
The “Jihadist terrorists” expression is used exactly 30 times. “Jihad” is used once.

Except for that positive aspect, there’s a lot inside that I don’t like at all:
Some parts are getting the form that even Hillary would have in her strategy. She was the candidate of the he military-industrial complex, now Trumps is “strengthening the military” to the max and the “strategy” is also writing about Russia very differently from Trump’s election speeches.
Other parts are the “pleasers” for those who voted for him because of their own beliefs and not based on (even their own) reality. That includes the reality the Pentagon is still aware of:

TRUMP RETURNS “JIHAD” TO INTELLIGENCE
But will it reverse decades of entrenched indoctrination?
December 20, 2017 Raymond Ibrahim
President Trump’s new national security strategy is set to return words relevant to understanding Islamic terrorism—such as “jihad”—that had been expunged from the Intelligence and Defense communities’ lexicon, most notably under the Obama administration. According to the new strategy document, “The primary transnational threats Americans face are from jihadist terrorists and transnational criminal organizations”; the document also vows to “pursue threats to their source, so that jihadist terrorists are stopped before they ever reach our borders.”
This is significant on several levels—the first being as basic as “knowing one’s enemy,” which President Obama had refused to do. In 2011 it was reported that “the Obama administration was pulling back all training materials used for the law enforcement and national security communities, in order to eliminate all references to Islam that some Muslim groups have claimed are offensive.” One Obama official explained the logic: “I want to be perfectly clear about this: training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong, they are offensive, and they are contrary to everything that this president, this attorney general and Department of Justice stands for. They will not be tolerated.”
It should be noted, however, that the politically correct induced paralysis that Obama championed was already well entrenched before him. Speaking in 2006 during the George W. Bush administration, William Gawthrop, a former Pentagon official, said “the senior Service colleges of the Department of Defense had not incorporated into their curriculum a systematic study of Muhammad as a military or political leader. As a consequence, we still do not have an in-depth understanding of the war-fighting doctrine laid down by Muhammad, how it might be applied today by an increasing number of Islamic groups, or how it might be countered.”
Similarly, a 2008 government memo that also appeared under Bush warned against “offending,” “insulting,” or being “confrontational” to Muslims: “Never use the terms ‘jihadist’ or ‘mujahideen’ in conversation to describe the terrorists. A mujahed, a holy warrior, is a positive characterization in the context of a just war. In Arabic, jihad means ‘striving in the path of God’ and is used in many contexts beyond warfare. Calling our enemies jihadis and their movement a global jihad unintentionally legitimizes their actions.”
Needless to say, such instructions were and are wrong on so many levels. Jihad is the antithesis of Just War; the former by nature is aggressive the latter defensive. The claim that jihad literally means “striving … and is used in many contexts beyond warfare” is as disingenuous as claiming that the words “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” literally denote a friend of one gender or the other, and nothing more. In both cases reality is more complex: just as a “boyfriend/girlfriend” implies a very specific kind of friend to Western ears, so too does “jihad” imply a very specific kind of struggle to Muslims ears—armed warfare against the infidel to make Islam supreme. Finally, the claim that “calling our enemies jihadis … legitimizes their actions” is beyond silly: Muslims are hardly waiting for Americans—“infidels”—to confer or withhold Islamic legitimacy on anything. They have their own Islamic scriptures, law, and clerics for that.
Stripped of all words dealing with Islam, how were analysts to understand jihadi motivations, tactics, strategies, goals, and a myriad of other considerations? Far from taking the most basic advice regarding warfare—Sun Tzu’s ancient dictum, “Know your enemy”— the U.S. government could not even acknowledge the enemy.
Nor does much seem to have changed, at least in the Legislative branch. Five months ago, and by a vote of 208-217, the U.S. House of Representatives voted down an amendment that would require the Defense Department to conduct “strategic assessments of the use of violent or unorthodox Islamic religious doctrine to support extremist or terrorist messaging and justification.” The rational given by those voting it down is familiar: Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that “terrorist killers have used religious doctrines and concepts from every major religion on earth … Focusing on (Islam) exacerbates the problem by fomenting the myth that religious fanaticism and terrorism are unique to the charlatans and predators of Islam.” Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) denounced the amendment’s inability to “apply its arbitrary surveillance equally” by “includ[ing] assessments of White supremacist terrorism or terrorism committed against abortion clinics and doctors.”
But as Clifford Smith observes: “While few people in the U.S. military are likely to come face to face with an angry and armed racist or anti-abortion activist in the line of duty, radical Islamists make it their business to kill Americans in nearly every corner of the world…. [I]t is unsupportable to say that all religions are the same, or that all religions have equally threatening ideological trends at all points in history.”
Here, then, is the greater point: that a majority of the House of Representatives voted down what is an otherwise commonsensical amendment is a reminder that the issue of ignoring jihadi ideology and seeing only generic terrorism has always transcended the activities of Obama and permeated a significant portion of American society—including, no doubt, in the Intelligence community.
Trump’s return of terminology relevant to the question of Islamic terrorism is certainly a step in the right direction. Yet, he is one man; and just as Obama was one man who did not create but rather championed the politically correct approach to Islam, it still remains to be seen how far the return of such terms will overcome decades of indoctrination.
