This is why we must fight the Islamic State: so that people won’t misunderstand Islam. Because as Kerry’s boss would say, the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. “Remarks on the Formation of the Iraqi Government,” remarks by John Kerry, September 8, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): As we […]

The Rev. Professor David Thomas is a professor of Christianity and Islam at the University of Birmingham. Here he writes a very strange article. Most of it is a brief and reasonably accurate history of the caliphate, in which he notes that in declaring a caliphate, the Islamic State has “reverted to a model that […]

When two staunch foes of Israel like Obama and Erdogan discuss combating anti-Semitism, they are either performing for the cameras or mean that they need to put yet more pressure on Israel. For in the view of Leftists and Islamic supremacists, if there is any anti-Semitism, it is because of the alleged misdeeds of Israel. […]

Obama envisions the Free Syrian Army as providing combat troops to fight the Islamic State. But the Free Syrian Army is either giving its arms to the Islamic State, or cannot prevent it from capturing them. “Islamic State fighters using US arms – Report,” AFP, September 8, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas): Islamic State fighters appear […]

The learned analysts know that you cannot look at the scriptures of a religion in order to understand that religion. After all, you can find violent passages in all scriptures, right? And all scriptures are subject to interpretation and reinterpretation, emphasis and de-emphasis, etc. Religions, we are told, are what their believers make them to […]

He says that “these young people do not see themselves as being part of this [Western] society: they were not brought up to blend in in a positive way.” Whose fault is that? Imams all over Europe preach against assimilation and integration. Then he adds: “There is also some discrimination and indirect persecution against Islam […]

Was it the Islamic State? Was it the Shi’ites? That is as yet unclear. The only thing we do know is that the attacker thought he was claiming Allah’s promise of Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111). But of course, it would be “Islamophobic” to discuss that, and how to […]

This ridiculous situation points up again how drastically the U.S. needs to reconfigure its alliances in light of the global jihad. The old Cold War arrangements simply don’t make any sense today, and lead to this: NATO promising to defend Turkey against the Islamic State that exists today in no small degree because of Turkish […]

Mohamed Elibiary, who believes that the U.S. is an Islamic country and that the return of the caliphate is “inevitable,” has left the Homeland Security Advisory Council. He did not say why he was leaving. There have been questions about Mohamed Elibiary’s true allegiances for years. For quite some time, his twitter profile incorporated the […]

These are not ranked in any particular order, and there are many other culprits besides these. But when Britain completes its descent into madness, these people can stand up and take a bow. My latest at PJ Media: With 600 Muslims from the United Kingdom now making up over twenty-five percent of the foreign jihadists […]
