What? The American government was behind 9/11? Not the Zionists? This new Iranian regime really is moderate! “CNN: Former U.S. Embassy in Tehran Now an Anti-American Museum,” from the Washington Free Beacon, January 30: The former U.S. embassy in Tehran is now an anti-American museum, CNN’s Jim Sciutto reports. The “museum” continues to promote tired […]

The questioning in this article, quickly deflected by people at the mosque, is probably all the scrutiny the mosque is going to get. So most likely if the mosque is teaching the virtues of jihad warfare, it will keep right on doing so. “Terrorism spotlight falls on Islington as brothers become Al-Qaeda poster boys,” by […]

After the Westgate mall jihad mass murder attack, Kenyan police are not inclined to buy the line that jihad is an interior spiritual struggle. Smoothly crafted propaganda such as that pictured above is harder to sell amid the carnage. “Police on high alert as youths plan ‘jihad’ meeting,” by Ishaq Jumbe for Standard Digital News, […]

This is a face-saving gesture. The clueless, politically correct, willfully ignorant Feds discounted intel they received from Russia about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and failed to investigate the mosque the Tsarnaev brothers attended in Boston, despite the fact that it has numerous ties to jihad terrorists. Now, when it is far too late, they’re trying to look […]

Fjordman noted a few days ago that the media blackout about the mass murderer Anders Breivik’s confession that he associated with the counter-jihad movement in order to try to destroy it showed “how rotten and dishonest Western mass media are, how much information they hide and how much they distort.” Indeed, and that rottenness and […]

How clueless and compromised are this country’s moneyed Leftist elites? This clueless and compromised. As you can see in the screenshot above from Intersections International’s website, Reza Aslan is being “honored for his work at the intersection of religion, scholarship, and global peacemaking.” (Thanks to Pamela Hall.) Reza Aslan is a Board member of the […]

The Iranians know how much the disastrous “nation-building” misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan have weakened the United States. They also see how weak and feckless Obama and Kerry are, giving them everything they want for nothing in return and then boasting that they have brought about peace. Their boasting, in other words, doesn’t come from […]

To call the police officers taghout is a serious charge: the word means “rebels,” “evil powers,” even “idolaters.” “Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, who believe in superstition and false objects of worship [taghout] and say about the disbelievers, ‘These are better guided than the believers as to […]

Michael Adebolajo’s Muslim name is Mujaahid Abu Hamza. The BBC doesn’t use it because it wants to obscure the fact that this was an act of Islamic jihad, motivated by the Islamic texts and teachings that jihadists like Mujaahid Abu Hamza invoke to justify violence. In fact, Mujaahid Abu Hamza referred specifically to the ninth […]

Mainstream analysts see all these jihads as separate, discrete conflicts that have nothing to do with one another. This is because they discount and choose to remain willfully ignorant of the jihad doctrine that these jihadists all believe in, and that binds them together, leading them to see these conflicts all as part of the […]

Establishment “experts” on foreign policy and Islamic jihad terror generally suffer from willful ignorance about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, and traffic in comforting politically correct fictions about Islam being a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists — a fiction that has led the U.S. […]
