Islamic State’s top military commander was trained by U.S. Special Forces

This article maintains that Abu Omar al Shishani was “radicalized” in a Saudi-funded mosque that challenged the moderate Islam that had hitherto prevailed in that region. Yet despite this supposedly prevailing moderation, its men gained a “reputation as crazy Islamic warriors.” If this scenario is true, U.S. officials should think very carefully about the implications […]

Pope admits danger of Islamic State infiltration among refugees, still wants parishes to accept them

What could possibly go wrong? Last February, the Islamic State promised to flood Europe in the near future with as many as 500,000 refugees. And an Islamic State operative recently boasted that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 Islamic State jihadis had entered Europe. “They are going like refugees,” he said, but they were going […]

CNN Poll: 29% of Americans think President Obama is a Muslim

This story doesn’t persist because Americans are “racist” or “Islamophobic.” This story persists because of Obama’s behavior: his fulsome praise of Islam, his refusal to call Islamic jihad terrorism by name, his statements such as “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam,” his aiding the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt […]

U.S. Muslim killed fighting for Islamic State: “It’s Islam Over Everything”

John Kerry, Joe Biden, and the U.S. Catholic bishops are on their way to see Marchello McCain now, so as to explain to him how his brother was a misunderstander of Islam, and that only greasy Islamophobes think that putting Islam over everything means dedicating one’s life to killing Infidels. “Brother of American killed fighting […]

UK: Muslim teacher got children to write letters to jihadi “heroes and role models”

Given the state of the contemporary UK, it is a marvel that this teacher wasn’t given the Teacher of the Year Award.   “REVEALED: School teacher ‘brainwashing primary kids to write jihadis supportive letters,’” by Jake Burman, Express, September 12, 2015 (thanks to Anne Crockett): A SCHOOL teacher has been teaching primary school children into […]

NYU Professor Ali Adeeb Alnaemi: Muslims hate the U.S. because of Israel

Alnaemi’s answers here are slick and often quite dishonest by omission, but still at times revealing. He says jihad is “mostly for defense,” thereby leaving the door open to offensive jihad. In the main, with his finger-pointing he provides yet another example of how colleges are today dreary centers of anti-American indoctrination, not centers of […]

Muslim migrants fake being Syrian to claim European asylum

Leggeri said: “Faced with the influx, registration systems are overwhelmed. We have an idea of nationalities, but not a clear picture of who is entering and the real profile of these migrants.” Indeed. How many jihadis are among them? No one knows, and many think it is “Islamophobic” to raise the question. “Economic migrants FAKE […]

Iran: “The U.S. had no alternative but giving up its excessive demands”

“She said the United States ‘was forced into negotiating’ the deal with Iran due do the ‘failure of the U.S. policy of sanctions and threats.’” Actually the sanctions were working fine to limit Iran’s activities, and the threats are all coming from the Iranians, not from anyone else. “Iran: The Americans Had ‘No Option’ Besides […]

The Real Rogue Cop Problem

Over at PJ Media, I discuss where, and why, police are actually participating in the heinous targeting of certain population[s]: Do #InfidelLivesMatter? It’s open season on police officers these days, because many black Americans believe that it’s open season on them. And while some police officers are no doubt hateful, corrupt, and compromised to powerful […]

50 Intelligence Analysts: ‘CENTCOM Islamic State reports cooked’

“The fact that so many people complained suggests there are deep-rooted, systemic problems in how the U.S. military command charged with the war against the self-proclaimed Islamic State assesses intelligence.” Indeed. It shows that it doesn’t assess intelligence at all. It shows that it isn’t really interested in fighting or defeating the Islamic State. It […]
