Obama and others often invoke the Islamic State’s murders of other Muslims to support their claim that the Islamic State is un-Islamic. But since Islamic law mandates death for apostasy and heresy, this doesn’t establish their point. They burned these soldiers alive probably because they believe that they were involved in burning areas under Islamic […]
UK to train “moderate” Syrian opposition forces to target the Islamic State
Are we stuck in a time warp? For years it has been patently obvious that there are no “moderate” forces among the Syrian “opposition.” Even the New York Times acknowledged this, almost four years ago: “Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of.” (New York Times, April 28, 2013) Nothing has […]
NY Times calls Aleppo capital of ISIS, then capital of Syria while chastising Gary Johnson for asking, “What is Aleppo?”
Raqqa is the capital of the Islamic State. Damascus is the capital of Syria. The New York Times, the “Paper of Record,” is not only a tired Leftist propaganda organ, but also about as reliable as to fact as The Onion. The New York Times is emblematic of the political and media elites with their […]
Liberation? Woman in town freed from Islamic State casts off niqab to reveal…hijab
The niqab is the full face veil, leaving only the eyes uncovered. The hijab covers only the hair. Liberation from oppression? The ever-clueless MailOnline thinks so, but it isn’t. Just a lessening of the oppression. Both the niqab and the hijab are based on the same principle, that it is the woman’s responsibility to remove […]
Refugee mill in overdrive: Assad declares “War on Terror” against Erdogan
While the West has no adequate system to protect its citizenry from Muslim migrant chaos, violence and disease, the Middle Eastern despots continue their killing machines and shed more blood. Now Assad intends to win back “every inch” of Syria and said that “Aleppo would be a graveyard for the hopes and dreams of Turkish […]
Islamic State stones two people to death on charges of adultery
Stoning adulterers is not “extremist”; it is Islamic law. The caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s closest companions, even maintained that it was originally in the Qur’an: ‘Umar said, “I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, “We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the […]
Islamic State executes teen for missing Friday prayers
“Before carrying out the execution, a Sharia official read a statement issued by the ISIS Sharia Court, vowing everyone who misses prayers at the mosque to face a similar punishment.” Classifying missing Friday prayers as apostasy is extraordinarily severe, but on the other hand, there is nothing in Islamic law that would forbid or rule […]

Raymond Ibrahim: U.S. Leadership Ushers in New Age of Christian Martyrdom
Gatestone Institute Wherever U.S. leadership has helped Islamic jihadis topple secular autocrats in the name of “democracy and freedom,” indigenous Christian minorities are being forced to convert to Islam or die. Many are accepting death. Most recently, on August 28 near Aleppo, the Islamic State (IS or ISIS) tortured, mutilated, publicly raped, beheaded and crucified […]
Islamic State captures most territory in months, nears Aleppo
Time for Obama to tell us again about how they’re falling back and nearing defeat. Meanwhile, in real life no one is even fighting the Islamic State. The Russians are fighting other jihadis who are trying to topple Assad, and the Americans are restricting their activities to cosmetic airstrikes. “ISIS captures most territory in months […]
Islamic State flogs, puts in metal cages 94 who violated Ramadan fast
Sharia is a slow-motion reign of terror, enforcing the law of Allah by fear and terror. “Islamic State punishes 94 it said violated Ramadan fast: Syria monitor,” Reuters, July 16, 2015: BEIRUT (Reuters) – Islamic State militants have punished at least 94 people including five teenagers, accusing them of violations during the Muslim fasting month […]

Islamic State releases graphic images of man’s hand being amputated for theft
The purpose of releasing such images is twofold: it “strikes terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60), and it demonstrates to Muslims that the Islamic State is carrying out Islamic law in its fullness, including this: “The thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they […]
