VIDEO: Islamic State Marks Gay Marriage Ruling by Throwing 4 Gay Men Off a Roof

Yet gay activists in the West tend to side with Leftists who consider resistance to jihad terror to be “Islamophobia.” Suicidal short-sightedness. Apparently the Islamic State was not moved to repentance by photos of gay marriage supporters — which will come as a surprise to the editors of Foreign Policy. “Horrific moment ISIS kill four gay […]

Foreign Policy thinks tweeting photos of gay marriage supporters will defeat the Islamic State

It is much, much more likely that the Islamic State will see the Supreme Court decision on gay marriage as evidence of the U.S.’s decadence and societal decay, and that will only serve to embolden and encourage them. But there is another glaring fallacy in this “analysis”: “That’s the lesson of history,” Rosa Brooks asserts: […]

U.S. troops face eating, drinking restrictions during Ramadan

Do U.S. troops fast during Yom Kippur? Lent? No? Why not? “U.S. Troops Face Eating, Drinking Restrictions During Ramadan,” by Jeryl Bier, Weekly Standard, June 26, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller): A top commander in southwest Asia reminded U.S military personnel stationed in Muslim countries in the Middle East of the restrictions placed on them […]

Where’s the Pope’s Encyclical on Christian Persecution? by Raymond Ibrahim

Pope Francis recently released a new encyclical. Portions of it deal with environmentalism, global warming, and climate change. Naturally, this has prompted controversy. It’s noteworthy that Francis didn’t merely make a passing comment on global warming during this or that sermon, but that he issued a papal encyclical on the matter. Encyclicals are much more formal and […]

Are Fake Virus Warnings a New Method to Disrupt Free Speech?

This has been driving me nuts: Avast, an Anti-Virus product that I have in the past recommended, has been flagging JihadWatch.org as having malware, with warnings such as “Infection Blocked,” “Avast WebShield has blocked a harmful web page or file,” and “A threat has been detected.” Of course, this is not true. There is no virus. […]

VIDEO: Muhammad cartoons shown on Dutch TV

Standing for the freedom of speech and refusing to submit to violent intimidation. When will the American media have similar courage? Or will it continue to signal that Islamic jihadists can get Americans to do whatever they want by threatening murder if they don’t? Muhammad Cartoons shown on Dutch TV Today, a selection of Muhammad […]

Iran Votes to Ban Access to Military Sites

Nothing to be concerned about. Barack Obama and John Kerry say they want peace. And they wouldn’t lie to us, would they? RELATED VIDEO: Iranian Parliament Chants “Death to America” – Votes to Ban Nuclear Inspections “Iran votes to ban access to military sites amid chants of ‘death to America,’” Associated Press, June 21, 2015 […]

Reign of Terror: Inside the Islamic State

In FrontPage today, I discuss new gruesome details that have emerged of life inside the Islamic State. The Islamic State’s caliphate turns one year old on June 29, and few inside its domains, aside from the true believers who have traveled all over the world to live in the Islamic promised land, are likely to […]

That Imaginary War Room by Hugh Fitzgerald

We have all had fantasies — have we not? — of being President or Chief of Staff, and being present, somewhere in the Pentagon, in a War Room that, we like to think, directs that campaign of self-defense against the hydra-headed Jihad. And we like to imagine, too, what might go on in that room, […]

Muslim student arrested for Islamic State NYC jihad mass murder plot

Saleh “denied sympathizing with Islamic State and granted them permission to examine his computer, authorities said. Investigators found the computer contained Islamic State propaganda, according to court filings.” War is deceit, as Muhammad said. In any case, the glib dismissal by Western authorities of the Islamic State as having nothing to do with Islam fails […]
