The Way It Isn’t: Bruce Hornsby and the Myth of the Party Switch
My latest at PJ Media: The media establishment has made it a never-ending series: features on the political views of public figures who just happen to be far-Leftists. The latest ran in the Independent on Wednesday: musician Bruce Hornsby, author of the deathless eighties classic “The Way It Is,” reminiscences about growing up in the […]
Netherlands: Muslim who left fake bomb at kosher restaurants gets eight months prison
If Hassan N. had been a non-Muslim leaving a fake bomb at a halal restaurant, which should never happen, would he have gotten such a lenient sentence? What do you think? “Eight months in prison for leaving fake bomb at Amsterdam kosher restaurant,” by Janene Pieters, NL Times, August 29, 2020 (thanks to Henry): Hassan […]
‘The threat that is coming out of Turkey is similar to the threat that was coming out of Iran after the revolution’
David Lepeska here provides an excellent summary piece of Turkey’s movement away from secularism and back to Islam. And while it is certainly true that “the threat that is coming out of Turkey is similar in many ways to the threat that was coming out of Iran after the revolution,” Turkey’s transition into an Islamic […]
Spain: 200 Muslim migrants riot, throw rocks at police, injure 21 people
Note that the Vox tweet identifies the rioters as “magrebíes,” that is, North Africans. What is the likelihood that if these migrants are allowed into the Spanish mainland, that they will become loyal, productive members of Spanish society? “21 Police Injured After 200 Migrants Riot in Spanish City,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 29, 2020: […]
Florida: Muslim caught with Molotov cocktail, loaded gun, charged with terrorist activity
Abraham Naveed Quraishi was participating in a Leftist riot and apparently has a history of anti-police activity. So his alleged terrorist plotting may have nothing to do with jihad at all. Or he may be another Urooj Rahman or Dzenan Camovic, both of whom are prime examples of the Leftist-jihadist alliance, and who both emerged […]
Bangladesh: Muslims enraged, man arrested for making ‘objectionable’ comments about Qur’an on Facebook
“Local people said that Radhakanta wrote arrogant comments on the timeline of his Facebook account Tuesday night that created anger in the Muslim community of the area. Noticing the incident, a team of Fenchuganj police went to Ghilachara area Tuesday midnight and assured the local residents of arresting Radhakanta.” The arrest was thus carried out […]
Germany: Merkel says she would make ‘essentially the same decisions’ today as she did during 2015 migrant influx
Roughly 2,016,241 migrants entered Germany in 2015, many with the conviction that they had a model of society and governance that was superior to the German one, and that they would eventually replace the one with the other. But any concern about that, or about shocking levels of crime among migrants, indicating that many have […]
One Israeli General Who is Unworried by the F-35 Sale to the UAE (Part 1)
Opposition by Israeli military men to the sale of the state-of-the-art F-35 Stealth fighter jet to the UAE has been nearly unanimous. However, one important retired general thinks that even with that sale, there are other ways to preserve Israel’s “qualitative military edge” (QME). That story is here. A historic normalization deal between Israel and […]
NYC: Muslim who stabbed cop while screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ was illegal migrant with ties to jihadis
There are powerful forces in America today trying to prevent any action that would prevent illegal migrants from entering the country. Now, why is that? An update on this story. “Feds say man who stabbed NYPD officer was illegal immigrant with radical Islamic ties,” by Stephen Dinan, Washington Times, August 26, 2020: The man accused […]
Wisconsin: Muslima recruits for ISIS on Facebook, provides instructions on how to make explosive belt
Where did Waheba Issa Dais learn about Islam? Where did she go to mosque? Have the teachings of that mosque been investigated? Why not? “Cudahy Woman Sentenced to 90 Months in Federal Prison for Attempting to Provide Material Support to ISIS,” Justice Department, August 25, 2020 (thanks to Creeping Sharia): United States Attorney Matthew D. […]
Pierre Rehov Video: The Sunday People
Terrorized by their Muslim neighbors, many Christians in Bethlehem and other traditionally Christian cities now under the yoke of the Palestinian Authority denounce the Israeli occupation as the cause of all their misfortunes. However, one phrase is often repeated among the Muslim population of the Middle East. “First comes Saturday, then comes Sunday”. Literally, “When […]
What’s Wrong with Putting America First?
My latest in the American Thinker: The overarching lesson of the triumphant Republican National Convention this week is that America is great, and that it is good and proper for an American president to put America first. In that, of course, the RNC is echoing President Trump’s consistent statements since he began running for president […]
Texas: Muslim Who Honor-Murdered His Two Daughters is Finally Caught, and the Denial Begins
My latest in PJ Media: Yaser Said, who brutally murdered his two teenage daughters in Texas on New Year’s Day 2008 in an apparent honor killing, has finally been caught after being on the run for twelve years. This horrifying case points up the reality that honor murder can happen even in Western countries. But […]
UK: 14-year-old boy converts to Islam, tries to make bombs containing shrapnel for jihad massacre
Where did this boy convert to Islam? He converted when he was 14 and is now 15. From whom did he learn about Islam? British authorities show no sign of being troubled by the fact that this keeps happening among all too many converts to Islam. If their dogma of Islam being a religion of […]
Minnesota: Muslima admits to setting fires at university, trying to join al-Qaeda
At St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota, Tnuza Jamal Hassan called upon Muslim students to “join the jihad in fighting” and to “join Al Qaeda, Taliban, or Al Shabaab.” She set a series of fires around the campus, and said she wanted to “hurt people.” In response, students at St. Catherine University said: “St. […]
Norway: Muslims riot, attack police van after protester rips pages from Qur’an
The DW headline says “clashes break out,” but as you can see from the article, what really happened was that a SIAN member ripped pages from the Qur’an and spat upon them, whereupon counter-protesters began throwing eggs and attacked a police van. People in the West who should know better will blame SIAN for this, […]
Turkey grants citizenship to dozens of “most senior” Hamas jihadist operatives and their families
In mid-August, Jihad Watch reported that Turkey had been accused of giving citizenship to Hamas members who were planning jihad terror attacks, which Turkey denied. Just over a week after that, Turkish President Erdogan hosted a large Hamas delegation, including wanted jihad terrorists who murdered Israelis. Now comes more: Turkey has granted citizenship to a […]
UK: Illegal Muslim migrants go on hunger strike to protest a handful of deportations
After much embarrassment and accusations that Boris Johnson has lost control of immigration amid UK government cash payouts to Muslim migrants, there are small steps being taken by the British Home Office to confront the illegal Muslim migrant invasion via the English Channel. The Home Office “has managed to deport a small group of illegal […]
