Speaking yesterday on Bitna al-Kibir, a live TV show, Tahani al-Gebali, Vice President of the Supreme Constitutional Court in Egypt, said the time was nearing when all the conspiracies against Egypt would be exposed””conspiracies explaining why the Obama administration is so vehemently supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose terrorism has, among other atrocities, caused the […]
Spencer interviewed at Jumping In Pools
Here is an interview I did recently with Tim Knight of Jumping In Pools: In one of the most interesting interviews I have ever conducted via email Robert Spencer of the well-received Jihad Watch discusses the ever increasing terrorist threat to the United States, how to defeat sharia law, and his new book. This is […]
Fitzgerald: Obama Still Locked Into Folly In Afghanistan, Part III
Part I is here, and Part II here. We are all waiting for someone, a sensible Republican or a sensible Democrat, who recognizes that the best argument for staunching the flow in Afghanistan depends on recognizing the threat of Islam. Obama put himself into a box of his own making. When he gave his Cairo […]
As human rights abuses rise in Muslim countries, Obama abandons support for reform initiatives
“The last spark of life in the initiatives was quashed once and for all with the arrival of a new US administration.” Yet another Which-Side-Is-Obama-On Alert. “Arab countries fail on human rights–report,” by Samer al-Atrush for Agence France-Presse, December 9 (thanks to Pamela): CAIRO, Egypt — Human rights deteriorated across the Arab world in 2009 […]
Obama mum on arrests of American Muslims in Pakistan, praises “Muslim-American community”
In Oslo to pick up his Nobel Peace Prize for Nothing, Obama praises the advances Muslims in America have made since 9/11. And it’s true: since 9/11 Muslims in this country have made great strides. They have suffered no widespread “backlash,” despite constant media handwringing over the prospect, no discrimination. Americans should be proud of […]
Fitzgerald: Obama Still Locked Into Folly In Afghanistan, Part II
Part I is here. People of sense are dismayed. It is one thing to have someone in public life, anyone at all, at least present, sensibly and soberly, the facts about the ideology of Islam, and about the major theatre of the Jihad, which is not in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Pakistan, but in the […]
Cheney: Trying KSM in New York a “huge mistake”
“For example, just in the last two weeks the prime minister of Kuwait has gone to Iran on an official visit, the first time in 30 years. Why did he do that? Well, he wants to make sure he’s got a foot in all camps.” Weakness has consequences. “Cheney: Obama ‘more radical’ than seen,” by […]
Obama’s landscape of antisemitism
Jamie Glazov interviews Pamela Geller at FrontPage Magazine on the Obama Administration’s antisemitism: Geller: Obama had a disturbing track record from the beginning. The Obama landscape, the landscape of his personal and professional associations, is littered with anti-Semites and rife with Israel haters. Only three weeks after Barack Hussein Obama took office, Israeli pundit Caroline […]
Fitzgerald: Obama Still Locked Into Folly In Afghanistan, Part I
I’ve been listening to various discussions, on the radio, or rather not discussions but exchanges of firmly held non-negotiable views, about Obama and his speech on Afghanistan. No one seems fully satisfied. Those who support Obama’s decision to send 30,000 more troops mostly dislike the announced pull-out of all American troops from Afghanistan after eighteen […]
Obama and Hizballah top dog agree: America is in decline
The fruits of weakness and appeasement are increasingly apparent. “Barack and Hassan concur, the US is waning,” by Michael Young for Now Lebanon, December 4 (thanks to Barry Rubin): It’s not often that Barack Obama and Hassan Nasrallah agree, but both made important speeches this week, and both appeared to concur that American power was […]
Obama Administration officials starting to realize there’s a jihad on U.S. soil
…being waged by native-born jihadists. “U.S. sees homegrown Muslim extremism as rising threat: This may have been the most dangerous year since 9/11, anti-terrorism experts say,” by Sebastian Rotella for the Los Angeles Times, December 7 (thanks to Twostellas): Reporting from Washington – The Obama administration, grappling with a spate of recent Islamic terrorism cases […]
Obama adviser to McChrystal on defeating the Taliban: “Is that really what you think your mission is?”
Of course not. We’re way beyond “victory” now. Everyone knows that enemies are defeated by building schools, roads, and hospitals. In any case, now we know that Obama’s troop surge in Afghanistan is not intended to subdue (much less “kill every member of,” as an Obama aide describes defeating them) the Taliban. What it is […]
Spencer: What the 9-11 Plotters Will Say in Court
They’ve already told us. My column in
Obama: “The rituals of Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha both serve as reminders of the shared Abrahamic roots of three of the world’s major religions”
I’m a bit late with this, but it is still worth noting. The Islamic Feast of Eid al-Adha commemorates the end of the pilgrimage to Mecca, the Hajj, and Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son — Ishmael in the Muslim version. In thinking of Abraham, most Americans think of the Biblical figure. In Genesis 22:15-18, […]
Obama appoints anti-Israel lobbyist as anti-Semitism czar
The proliferation of czars is a Constitutional issue, but aside from that, the jihadis worldwide must be extraordinarily happy over Obama’s consistent anti-Israel line. “Anti-Israel lobbyist appointed to anti-Semitism post: J Street pick hints Jewish state to blame for hatred against its people,” by Aaron Klein for WorldNetDaily, November 26: President Obama’s new anti-Semitism czar […]
Saudi columnist: Obama will be President of the “United Collapse of America”
Hamad al-Majed can see it. Is it only Americans who can’t perceive the disaster that the post-American President is already? And it is doubtful that he will improve. “Saudi Columnist: Obama Will Be President of the ‘United Collapse of America,’” from MEMRI, November 25 (thanks to all who sent this in): In a November 16, […]
Obama may allow Americans to be tried for war crimes in The Hague
Why wouldn’t the Post-American President allow this? After all, he already plans to try the CIA members who interrogated jihadis at Gitmo, and Navy Seals who captured a top jihadist. Why should he have any problem with this? “Prosecuting American ‘War Crimes’: The International Criminal Court claims jurisdiction over U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan,” by Daniel […]
9/11 plotters start on their road to freedom: lawyers to argue they’re incompetent to stand trial
The glorious fruit of giving the 9/11 plotters civilian trials is already beginning to appear. Watch for these guys to walk — after wasting a few taxpayer millions, that is. “Mental State Cited in 9/11 Case,” by Jess Bravin in the Wall Street Journal, November 27 (thanks to Elisa): WASHINGTON — When five defendants are […]
Obama reaches out to Philippine jihadists

Obama’s “Christian” grandmother in Mecca for Hajj
Why the deception? And who was behind it? AP? The Obama camp? Someone else? What was its purpose? AP, March 5, 2008: “In the world of today, children have different religions from their parents,” she said. She, too, is a Christian. Is she really? “Saudi Arabia: Obama’s grandmother in Mecca for ‘Hajj’ ceremony,” from AKI, […]
