Toronto Muslim wanted to join Islamic State, settled for attack in Canada
Why preventing jihadis from leaving the West to join the Islamic State is a bad idea. “T.O. man wanted to join ISIL, but would settle for terror attack in Canada, undercover RCMP officer told,” by Stewart Bell, National Post, May 20, 2015: TORONTO — An undercover RCMP officer described Wednesday how a Toronto man told […]

Garland, Texas imam calls for restrictions on the freedom of speech
By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2015 11:50 pm

Garland, Texas imam calls for restrictions on the freedom of speech
That is always the endgame for Islamic supremacists: to destroy the freedom of speech so that Islam cannot be criticized and the jihad cannot be opposed, so that it can advance unimpeded. People have no idea what is at stake in this controversy. “Group that hosted Prophet Muhammad Cartoon Contest has Houston supporters,” by Joel […]

Canada: 10 Muslims arrested at airport on suspicion of leaving to join Islamic State
Good thing they stopped them, eh? What assets they will be to Canada! “‘These are very difficult times for the relatives and loved ones of the persons arrested, as the decision to leave the country was not that of the family, but of a single family member. As a result family members often find themselves […]

Islamic State seizes Syrian city of Palmyra, threatening ancient ruins
Not to worry. John “Baghdad Bob” Kerry says the Islamic State is being driven back. Yes, they keep taking new cities, but really, they’re losing! “Islamic State militants seize Syrian city of Palmyra, threatening ancient ruins,” by Loveday Morris, Washington Post, May 20, 2015: BAGHDAD — Islamic State militants seized control of the majority of […]

Minneapolis airplane fueler joins Islamic State

Minneapolis airplane fueler joins Islamic State
No one would have dreamed of trying to determine whether Ahmed should really have been fueling passenger jets. That would have been “Islamophobic.” This report is attributing Ahmed’s turn to jihad to his unemployment and child support responsibilities. But lots of people are unemployed and have to pay child support, and don’t go wage jihad […]

By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2015 02:41 pm

FBI speaks to New Jersey high school students about Islamic State recruitment
“The FBI has targeted Bergen County, New Jersey to stop Islamic State militants from getting a stronghold there.” This is interesting — that the FBI considers it enough of a possibility that the Islamic State could get a stronghold in Bergen County that it does this. It seems from this article that the presentation was […]

“The American Conservative” submits to violent jihadist intimidation
By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2015 07:51 am

“The American Conservative” submits to violent jihadist intimidation
The American Conservative (TAC) has previously shown a tendency to downplay the jihad threat — as many paleocons do. I am no fan of Wilsonian interventionism and never have been, but TAC is veering toward active support of the Islamic supremacist agenda. Preposterous? Read on. “Pamela Geller’s Free-Speech Hypocrisy,” by Kelley Vlahos, The American Conservative, […]

Obama admin says “file footage of ISIL convoys operating in broad daylight” is “inaccurate” days before huge ISIL convoy in Ramadi
By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2015 05:25 am

Obama admin says “file footage of ISIL convoys operating in broad daylight” is “inaccurate” days before huge ISIL convoy in Ramadi
“We are urging broadcasters to avoid using the familiar B-roll that we’ve all seen before, file footage of ISIL convoys operating in broad daylight, moving in large formations with guns out, looking to wreak havoc. It’s inaccurate — that’s no longer how ISIL moves…” “A more accurate image, said Col. Steven Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, […]
