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 […]
Obama official admits: “Violent extremism” is really “radical Islamic extremism”
Writing in the New York Times, Richard Stengel, who served as Obama’s under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs, is now open to admitting that the unnamed “violent extremism” against which the USA has been struggling with for more than two decades is actually “radical Islamic extremism.” He has the following reason why […]
CNBC frets that Trump victory has “enraged” jihad terror groups
“Jihadists used social media to warn that having Trump in the White House would unite the mujahideen, SITE director Rita Katz tweeted, with supporters of Al Qaeda (AQ) and the Islamic State (IS) saying the billionaire’s election exposed America’s hatred of Muslims and would contribute to America’s downfall.” That’s just bluster. If it weren’t Trump’s […]
Muslims in U.S. on Trump: “We know he sees us as less than human”
Nora Nashawaty, a 23-year-old Syrian-American student living in Chicago, said of Trump: “We know he doesn’t want to listen to us, and we know that he sees us as less than human.” She knows that? Muslims know that? On what basis? Has Trump ever said anything remotely to that effect? Of course not. She says […]
Muslims in U.S. after Trump victory: “I fear for my Muslim family”
Are roving bands of Trump supporters beating up innocent, pious, hijabbed Muslimas today? Of course not. But victimhood is a prized status in twenty-first century America, and so Islamic supremacists in the United States are today playing the victim card for all it’s worth. Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslims have on many occasions not hesitated to […]
“I’m disappointed because Hillary Clinton is good for Pakistan and Muslims all over the world”
This article is just one of the many Muslims-are-victims pieces to which the defeated mainstream media propagandists are treating us today. None of them contain any suggestions for containing or rolling back the jihad threat, or any recognition that people are suspicious of Islam because of jihad terror, not because of Donald Trump’s rhetoric. “I […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The People — and No One Else — Have Spoken
No elites, no media. This is a REAL uprising. My latest in PJ Media: The establishment media and the political elites are reeling, and we have every reason to believe they will never recover. Considering the massive coalition Donald Trump and his movement had to fight against, it may truly be said that the people […]
Netanyahu congratulates Trump, “a true friend of the state of Israel”
Education Minister Naftali Bennett said that Trump’s victory was an “opportunity for Israel to immediately retract the notion of a Palestinian state in the centre of the country, which would hurt our security and just cause.” That would be a good thing. A “Palestinian” state would, like Gaza, simply become another jihad base for renewed […]
Merkel warns Trump: Cooperation only if he upholds “dignity of man, independent of religion or political views”
Lofty words. Trump should uphold the “values of democracy, freedom, and respect for the law and the dignity of man, independent of origin, skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political views. I offer the next President of the United States close cooperation on the basis of these values.” Why does Merkel, and the rest […]
Muslim Brotherhood: Trump victory a “disaster”
“Goliath is coming himself, with his horses and men.” Oh, you’re David now? Let’s hope that “Goliath” comes for the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrators and Useful Idiots in the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and elsewhere in the government. “Muslim Brotherhood: Trump victory a ‘disaster,’” Middle East Monitor, November 9, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann): Donald […]
The preferred candidate of jihadists loses the US presidential election
Prior to Election Day, imams were out telling Muslims to vote, even launching a special campaign: October 7 is My Muslim Vote National Khutba Day a day meant to encourage American Muslims to get to the polls this November. During this week’s services, spiritual leaders will be ascending minbars, or pulpits, to preach a khutba, or […]
Lebanese Christian: “Donald Trump is good for Middle Eastern Christians”
Here is an eye-opening article that shows the mainstream narrative of Trump’s “racism” for what it is. “This piece is not a defence of Donald Trump.” It is something more insightful, and valuable, than that. “Donald Trump is good for Middle Eastern Christians,” by Najwa Najib, Medium, October 29, 2016: The 2016 presidential election has […]
Hillary hits Trump for insulting Iran and the Islamic State
Hillary Clinton tweeted out a list entitled “All the People, Places and Things Donald Trump Has Insulted on Twitter Since Declaring His Candidacy for President.” We are supposed to be appalled, of course, at this boor who would dare insult Bill Clinton, CNN, the New York Times, Bernie Sanders and Hillary herself. But included in […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Rigged? In What Way Is This Election NOT Rigged?
Even after the revelations yesterday about the new FBI investigation, this holds true. My latest in PJ Media: The political and media elites are outraged beyond measure by Donald Trump’s charge that the election could be rigged. How dare he suggest such a thing, they say, for the system is as honest as the day […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Third Debate: ‘What Kind of Country Are We Going to Be?’
Two fundamentally different visions of America clash on stage for the last time. My latest in FrontPage: The peculiar self-contradiction of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign was on abundant display Wednesday night during her third and last presidential debate with Donald Trump: running as the anointed heir of a two-term president in whose administration she served, […]
Nostalgia for the Gendarme
It is difficult to say who will be elected by American people, but the world (except for sterile Western Europe) has made its choice. And this choice, in spite of formal logic, is the “racist,” “sexist,” “imperialist,” “Islamophobe” Donald Trump. In New York, the President of Egypt, el-Sisi, has met with Trump and characterized him […]
Trump: Muslims in US need to warn cops about pending jihad attacks
Why is this even controversial? And the fact that it is is telling on many levels. Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) routinely oppose counter-jihad efforts and counsel Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement, and insist, along with the Left, that even to ask Muslims to warn police […]
Obama vetoes bill allowing families to sue foreign governments linked to terror attacks
Always ready to go to bat for the Saudis. “Obama Vetoes Terrorism Bill as Override Votes Loom,” by John T. Bennett, Roll Call, September 23, 2016: President Barack Obama on Friday vetoed a bill that would allow families of the victims of terrorist attacks in the United States to sue foreign governments believed to be […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: ‘Aid and Comfort’: Clinton Suggests Trump Committed Treason
Offending jihadists is treasonous now. My latest in PJ Media: Jennifer Epstein, a reporter for Bloomberg and clearly the very model of a modern Leftist journalist, asked Hillary Clinton today: Are you concerned that this weekend’s attacks or potential incidents in the coming weeks might be an attempt by ISIS or ISIS sympathizers, or really […]
Trump: “People who warn about radical Islamic terrorism are not Islamophobes”
Trump is challenging the sacred dogmas of the political and media elites in a way no candidate has in decades. That is why he so frightens and enrages them. “Trump says Clinton’s bodyguards should ‘disarm immediately’ and ‘see what happens to her,’” by Sean Sullivan and Jenna Johnson, Washington Post, September 17, 2016: …At the […]
