"Last year, during my visit to Washington, in a very important briefing a day before I met U.S. President [Barack Obama], his national security adviser Tom Donilon, and senior White House officials, generals, and intelligence officials, the national security adviser met with me. He told me: 'The Taliban are...

But they stressed that this was just a temporary setback and reaffirmed their support for the "moderate" Syrian opposition, even as its hapless leader fled in the face of the Islamic jihadist advance. "U.S., Britain suspend aid to north Syria after Islamists seize weapons store," by Dasha Afanasieva and...

Last Monday and Tuesday I was in the studios of the Aramaic Broadcasting Network, filming two live shows and taping four more shows for future broadcast. While there, I was told that an imam named Bashir Abdul Haqq had contacted the network, asking to debate me on the question of...

Shekau "Few believe the Boko Haram terrorist network has such capability." Why not? With the U.S. importing whole communities from Somalia and elsewhere in the Islamic world, and making no effort whatsoever to screen those immigrants, how hard can it be to send in a few jihadists? "Islamic extremist leader...

Salim Idris Just weeks ago John Kerry and others were assuring us that the "moderates" were dominant among the Syrian rebels. This is the reality.

"When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads." -- Qur'an 47:4 That verse does seem to involve taking captives, and...

Yahya Hassan: racist? This shows the absurdity of classifying criticism of jihad terror and Islamic supremacism as "racism": Yahya Hassan and Mohamed Suleban are likely of the same race, or at any rate both would be considered "non-white" in today's political culture.

"President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono did not name the groups" that were threatening the Christians -- because he knew that if he did name them, they would take that in itself as a new offense, and possibly target him as well. The whole world is cowed and terrified in the...

The "Palestinians," as you can see from the story below, are in complete denial about why these killings happen. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide.

And remember: Jordan is supposed to be "moderate." In any case, this is an easy way for them to declare that they're against "terrorism" while continuing to support the jihad against Israel. And credulous Western analysts (who are legion) will dutifully classify them as "moderate" and "anti-terror." "Lower House...

Dr. Essam Abdullah, a professor of philosophy at Egypt’s Ain Shams University and a regular political commentator on Arabic media, including Al Jazeera, recently made some startling remarks on a televised program: that there are “more than 23 million Copts in Egypt,” out of a total population of nearly...

The nuns in captivity Yet another phenomenon with a long paper trail in Islamic history has just taken place, even as the Western “mainstream”—little acquainted with true history or reality—dismisses it as an aberration. Asia News has the details: Islamist rebels have kidnapped a group of nuns from the Greek...
