2025: The Year Islamic Terrorism Went Mainstream

November 16, 2025/in Anti-Semitism, Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Immigration, Iranian influence, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Terrorism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

Al Qaeda, Hamas and Islamic terrorism have all become politically acceptable.

In 2025, Hamas and Hezbollah flags became regular sights on Ivy League college campuses, a Muslim immigrant who embraced an unindicted coconspirator in bombing plots in New York City became its mayor, presidential envoys chatted with Hamas and an Al Qaeda leader who used to have a $10 million reward on his head visited the White House and met with the president.

The mainstreaming of Islamic terrorism didn’t happen overnight. A decade ago, the Obama administration backed the Al Qaeda militias that would eventually go on to take over Syria and first forced Israel to negotiate with Hamas after the kidnapping and murder of three teens.

What went on under the cover of plausible deniability a decade ago, where our government pretended we were backing the Free Syrian Army, a ‘democratic’ and ‘secular’ movement, (which critics like me pointed out was just Al-Qaeda in drag), or where our negotiators did not directly meet with Hamas, where anti-Israel campus groups claimed that they supported BDS rather than mass murder, and Muslim politicians denied they were terrorists, is out in the open.

How we got here was inevitable once American leaders responded to 9/11 by trying to draw distinctions between good Islamization and bad Islamization, between moderates and extremists, between good terrorists and bad terrorists in the hopes of dividing our enemies.

The false ‘moderates’ and ‘extremists’ paradigm, which no Muslim leader or movement ever actually accepted, didn’t divide up Islamic terrorists, it mainstreamed them. We lost the ability to draw lines and with it any larger sense of who we were, who they were and what we had set out to accomplish by fighting them until all we wanted to do was find someone to surrender to.

Opportunistic realpolitik led us to the conclusion that a moderate was any Muslim terrorist group willing to pretend they weren’t our enemies, and an extremist was a Muslim terrorist group unwilling to lie to us. Only the purest ISIS terrorists are still considered extremists while the Al Leader and former ISIS ally who took over Syria has joined our anti-ISIS coalition to fight ISIS.

America has reached the stage of allying with ‘moderate’ Al Qaeda against ‘extreme’ Al Qaeda.

While the Al-Jolani visit to the White House was a low point, the unfortunate truth was that we had allied with Taliban warlords in Afghanistan, as long as they weren’t officially Taliban warlords right this moment, and we had backed Al Qaeda militias in Syria, as long as they pretended they weren’t Al Qaeda right now. What seemed like opportunistic realpolitik in the moment didn’t actually change the terrorists, it changed us by defining terrorist deviancy down to nothing.

That is also why we were taken in by the Taliban’s promises of a ‘peaceful transition’ in Afghanistan and why presidential envoys in pursuit of a ‘ceasefire’ are now meeting with and praising Hamas terrorist leaders. Instead of finding moderates, we just gave up our standards.

On college campuses and on the liberal side of the political nexus, support for non-violent opposition to Israel gave way to support for Oct 7 and the violent mass murder of Jews. After being initially greeted with polite revulsion, the terrorist side, including Zohran Mamdani, won the argument with the moral pragmatism of genocide lies. Accuse Israel enough of the worst crimes and suddenly no tactic, including rape and burning children alive, will seem too awful.

Mainstreaming Islamic terrorists happens when we think about anything and everything (regional stability, an end to the fighting, the horrors of war, the tribal cause) rather than look at what we’re doing and what the long term consequences of normalizing terrorism will be.

When the PLO and its Soviet-backed Jihadis first began hijacking planes, the whole thing was deplored, condemned and then rewarded. By 1977, Jimmy Carter became the first president to call for a ‘Palestinian’ state. What had the PLO done to merit a state? They hijacked planes.

What did Hamas and the PLO do this time around to merit a state? October 7.

What did the faction of Al Qaeda that seized control of Syria do to merit high-level diplomatic visits? They seized control of Syria.

That’s why we lost the ‘War on Terror’ because we weren’t fighting to win, but to compromise. And at the heart of every compromise was the notion that the aims of the Jihadists were finite, that they would settle for parts of Israel, for Afghanistan or Syria, and not want anything else.

Believing that we can give in, reward terrorists for their terrorism without encouraging them to pursue the furthest breadth of their Islamic supremacist ambitions, is foolishly naive and wrong.

All we were really doing by validating their demands was offering them a down payment, a finger that would later be exchanged for a hand, a country later to be exchanged for the world. There is no moderate Islamic Jihadist out there who is willing to settle for less than the Koran promised him. Men willing to kill and die on the promise of paradise are not compromisers.

Our compromises did not bring us peace with Islam, it only compromised our ability to resist even the worst Jihadists and even the worst atrocities because we have normalized evil.

College campuses where the PFLP was celebrated now fly Hamas flags and eventually will fly ISIS flags. We invited a local Al Qaeda leader to the White House and we negotiated with Hamas, how long until we’re directly negotiating with Al Qaeda and inviting ISIS over?

A decade ago, it would have been hard to find open supporters of Islamic terrorism among us, today, especially in certain university and liberal circles, they’re everywhere. Will it stop here?

Of course not.

If there’s any lesson this should teach us, it’s that it will not stop here. Radical movements have no brakes. Neither do we once we start appeasing them. The same political culture that has normalized every deviancy and evil, is now normalizing Islamic terrorism. The fallacy of the moderate/extremist terrorist has broken down so badly that hardly anyone mentions it now.

Al Qaeda, ISIS and Hamas, like our own political radicals, have shown that they can break down the walls of the civilized order through horrifying acts and make them into the new normal.

Whatever atrocity happens next, we will learn to accept it until we either wake up and start drawing lines, or wake up and realize that we no longer have the power to draw any lines.

2025 is the year Islamic terrorism went mainstream. 2026 can be the year we stop tolerating it.

But is it a red line for all conservatives?

There are red lines in the conservative movement and over the past few weeks we’ve been having a vigorous debate about what some of those red lines should be. Here’s one red line that’s gone unmentioned. Sharia Islamic law.

Sharia mandates the inferiority of Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims to members of the Muslim master race, it mandates the inferiority of women and eliminates any notion of human freedom.

So is it a red line for all conservatives?

Paul Dans, currently being promoted for the Georgia Senate in a primary race against Sen. Lindsey Graham by Tucker Carlson, previously went on Al Jazeera (of all places) where he was interviewed by Marc Lamont Hill. A former CNN contributor, Hill had been ousted as being too extreme for CNN after he justified the kidnapping and murder of three Israel teens. (That was a while back and today that would be a point in his favor at CNN.)

Dans had been the director of Project 2025, the ill-fated Heritage proposal disavowed by Trump, (which also led to Heritage being sidelined within the Trump administration after Kevin Roberts bragged about it publicly). Project 2025 had good and bad parts to it, but talking about it was a sure way to undermine the Trump administration.

Going on Al Jazeera to talk about it seemed like an even worse idea. Al Jazeera is the state media of Qatar, an Islamic terrorist state accused of developing ties to some on the ‘woke right’, which also sponsors the Muslim Brotherhood. It loves the idea of implementing Sharia law in America.

And so Hill asked Dans about that. Dans was woefully unprepared when Hill asked him if a Muslim candidate wins an election, would he be able to implement Sharia law.

Dans could have answered that question by saying that America is based on Judeo-Christian values or (since he doesn’t like Jews, on Christian values) rather than Muslim ones, instead he seemed happy to play into the idea that America could be ‘Islamized’ if it was done ‘democratically’.

Sharia law should be a red line. And yet some of the people who talk about making America more Christian again seem open to the idea of Islamization.

You can’t claim to be making America more Christian, if you’re willing to allow Islam to take over.

This is all the more relevant now since Tucker Carlson, who sat out tough races in New York, New Jersey and Virginia, doing nothing to help conservatives, decided to get involved in the Georgia race to boost Dans. I’m no fan of Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has his own troubling record on Islam, but Tucker’s record is even worse.

And includes defending Sharia law.

A reminder (again): the Palestinian “resistance” (from the River to the Sea) is a central cause to the Muslim ummah. Islam is built on conquest, and has been actively at it for 1,400 years. Hamas is an offshoot of the global Muslim Brotherhood that has managed to infiltrate Western countries with its operatives, and has proliferated extensively.

Throughout the West, the history of Islam trying to obliterate the State of Israel has been ignored as since October 7, Israel battled Hamas, which many Muslim countries heavily support. On the actual day of the Hamas jihad massacres, October 7, 2023, Saudi Arabia joined Iran and Qatar to blame Israel for its own victimization because of the so-called “occupation.”

Leftist Western countries have been ganging up on Israel, having virtually joined the anti-Israel campaign, while ignoring Hamas’ use of human shields, which is what caused any actual humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Hamas stored weaponry among the Palestinian people, and hid among them as well. What was Israel to do? Allow Hamas to proliferate, protect its weaponry, commit more October 7-style attacks, and eventually wipe out Israel?

After October 7, useful idiots on campuses across the West took up the pro-Hamas movement, prompting Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei to “hail” pro-Hamas U.S. college students.

The “Globalize the intifada” chant became a battle cry for Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and more broadly, the global jihad.

Now, Mosab Hassan Yousef, aka Son of Hamas, has issued a warning, especially to those naive Westerners who actually believe that peace with infidels is possible. 1,400 years hasn’t taught them, so what will?

According to Yousef, the West was played; and has played straight into the hands of Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas:

Netanyahu: ‘There will be no Palestinian state,’ signs plan for settlement expansion

September 15, 2025/in Anti-Semitism, Culture War, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Terrorism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

Just as the UN General Assembly endorsed its own two-state solution, charting a path toward Palestinian statehood, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared “there will be no Palestinian state.”

Netanyahu believes the Palestinians when they state in their words and show in their actions that they are working toward the obliteration of the Jewish state. That goal is enshrined in the Palestinian National Charter, funded by the Palestinian Authority via its pay for slay program, while Hamas (which is an acronym for The Islamic Resistance) is fully on board.

There cannot be a Palestinian state; the “resistance” is based on a one-state solution, that is, the total destruction of Israel.

The UN vote precedes a meeting on September 22 “on the sidelines of the high-level U.N. General Assembly – where Britain, France, Canada, Australia and Belgium are expected to formally recognize a Palestinian state.”

Western leftist countries who are complicit in the jihad against the West (via their Islamic sympathies and alliances) and Israel are becoming increasingly exposed for what they are: anti-Israel, anti-West traitors.

“‘There will be no Palestinian state’: Netanyahu signs plan for E1 settlement expansion,” Times of Israel, September 11, 2025:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Thursday evening that “there will be no Palestinian state,” as he signed an agreement to push ahead with the controversial E1 settlement expansion plan that will cut across West Bank land Palestinians seek for a state.

“We are going to fulfill our promise that there will be no Palestinian state; this place belongs to us,” Netanyahu said during a visit to the Ma’ale Adumim settlement in the West Bank, on the outskirts of Jerusalem, where thousands of new housing units would be added.

“We will safeguard our heritage, our land and our security… We are going to double the city’s population,” he added….

Kamala Harris Calls for ‘Courage to Object’ to Term ‘Radical Islamic Terrorism’

July 28, 2024/in Commentary, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, National Security, Policy, Politics, Video/by Jihad Watch

Now that the Party of Democracy has done away with all that cumbersome “voting” business and anointed Kamala Harris as its presidential candidate, Harris is busy demonstrating that she holds all of her party’s deeply held principles. This reassures the Democrat base, in case anyone was worried, that she is a bona fide far-left ideologue of the kind they favor these days and can be trusted to implement the party program.

And so Harris has been paying obeisance to all the left’s gods. This has meant a call for a ceasefire in Gaza that would allow Hamas to survive and murder more Israeli civilians in the future, as it has vowed to do. Harris also made an appearance on “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” as if to emphasize that she fully intends as president to perpetuate the left’s wholehearted embrace of sexual perversion, gender delusion, and overall insanity. And in a video that surfaced on X Thursday, Harris told an appreciative audience at the Islamic Center of Southern California, “We must have the courage to object when they use that term, ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’”

Courage? That’s like saying that we must have the courage to be a total conformist lemming who says exactly what everyone else is saying. If Kamala Harris really wants to demonstrate her courage, she should try bucking the prevailing winds and stating the readily demonstrable fact that core texts of the religion of Islam teach that Muslims should wage war against and subjugate unbelievers. She will, of course, never do such a thing, primarily because she isn’t aware of that fact, but also because she likely knows that if she said such a thing, she fairly quickly would be the former Democrat candidate for president.

Hillary Clinton summed up the predominant view, at least among leftist politicians, when she declared in Nov. 2015, “Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” Virtually every politician on the left and many on the right have said much the same thing, although usually, they didn’t go as all-out as Hillary did on the sweeping generalizations. In 2011, working from the same set of assumptions, the Obama administration removed all mention of Islam and Muslims from its entire counterterrorism program. The program has not been reformed since then; the same willful ignorance prevails to this day.

Harris’ statement at the Islamic Center of Southern California is just a variant of the same theme, as is her subsequent explanation that to speak of “radical Islamic terrorism” supposedly ignored the fact that Muslims have been “the greatest victims of terror.” Harris apparently assumes that someone who attacks a Muslim could not possibly be a Muslim himself. In making that assumption, however, she is herself ignoring the fact that Islamic law mandates death for heresy and apostasy. Throughout Islamic history, this has led to violence between Islamic sects and factions. If a Muslim kills another Muslim, the killing doesn’t necessarily signify that the killer is violating Islamic principles; abundant justification can be found within Islamic law for such behavior.

If there is any actual problem with the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism,” it is with the word “radical.” Violence against unbelievers is unfortunately mainstream in Islamic theology. Iraqi scholar Majid Khadduri, in his magisterial book “War and Peace in the Law of Islam,” says that the function of the Islamic state in Islamic theology and law is to “establish Islam as the dominant reigning ideology over the entire world… The jihad was therefore employed as an instrument for both the universalization of religion and the establishment of an imperial world state.” That’s the ultimate goal of Islamic terrorism: to weaken and ultimately destroy governments that aren’t based on Islamic law so that they can be replaced with Islamic ones.

This has been a consistent imperative throughout Islamic history. A Pakistani professor of Islamic law, Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee, quotes the 12th-century Islamic jurist Ibn Rushd: “Muslim jurists agreed that the purpose of fighting with the People of the Book [that is, Jews and Christians]…is one of two things: it is either their conversion to Islam or the payment of jizyah,” a tax on non-Muslims specified in the Qur’an (9:29). Nyazee concludes, “This leaves no doubt that the primary goal of the Muslim community, in the eyes of its jurists, is to spread the word of Allah through jihad, and the option of poll-tax [jizya] is to be exercised only after subjugation” of non-Muslims.

The problem with Harris’ call for “courage” is that it not only ignores the unpleasant reality of Islamic jihad violence, but it also perpetuates the longtime leftist strategy of shaming and silencing those who tell the truth about such violence. The ultimate beneficiaries of this willful ignorance are the Islamic jihadis themselves; if Harris and her ilk have their way and silence all those whom they smear as “racists” and “bigots” for speaking honestly about jihad, the jihadis will be able to go about their work unopposed and unhindered. Is that what she wants? If she doesn’t, what is she doing to stop them?

Non-Muslims: Islam’s Useful Idiots

April 18, 2024/in Culture War, Hot Topics, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Religion/by Amil Imani

Islam enjoys a large and influential ally among the non—Muslims: A new generation of ‘Useful Idiots,’ the sort of people Lenin identified living in liberal democracies who furthered the work of communism. This new generation of Useful Idiots also lives in liberal democracies, but serves the cause of Islamofascism—another virulent form of totalitarian ideology.

Useful Idiots are naïve, foolish, ignorant of facts, unrealistically idealistic, dreamers, willfully in denial or deceptive. They hail from the ranks of the chronically unhappy, the anarchists, the aspiring revolutionaries, the neurotics who are at war with life, the disaffected alienated from government, corporations, and just about any and all institutions of society. The Useful Idiot can be a billionaire, a movie star, an academe of renown, a politician, or from any other segment of the population.

Arguably, the most dangerous variant of the Useful Idiot is the ‘Politically Correct.’ He is the master practitioner of euphemism, hedging, doubletalk, and outright deception.

The Useful Idiot derives satisfaction from being anti—establishment. He finds perverse gratification in aiding the forces that aim to dismantle an existing order, whatever it may be: an order he neither approves of nor he feels he belongs to.

The Useful Idiot is conflicted and dishonest. He fails to look inside himself and discover the causes of his own problems and unhappiness while he readily enlists himself in causes that validate his distorted perception.

Understandably, it is easier to blame others and the outside world than to examine oneself with an eye to self—discovery and self—improvement. Furthermore, criticizing and complaining—liberal practices of the Useful Idiot—require little talent and energy. The Useful Idiot is a great armchair philosopher and ‘Monday Morning Quarterback.’

The Useful Idiot is not the same as a person who honestly has a different point of view. A society without honest and open differences of views is a dead society. Critical, different and fresh ideas are the life blood of a living society—the very anathema of autocracies where the official position is sacrosanct.

Even a ‘normal’ person spends a great deal more energy aiming to fix things out there than working to overcome his own flaws and shortcomings, or contribute positively to the larger society. People don’t like to take stock of what they are doing or not doing that is responsible for the conditions they disapprove.

But the Useful Idiot takes things much farther. The Useful Idiot, among other things, is a master practitioner of scapegoating. He assigns blame to others while absolving himself of responsibility, has a long handy list of candidates for blaming anything and everything, and by living a distorted life, he contributes to the ills of society.

The Useful Idiot may even engage in willful misinformation and deception when it suits him. Terms such as ‘Political Islam,’ or ‘Radical Islam,’ for instance, are contributions of the Useful Idiot. These terms do not even exist in the native parlance of Islam, simply because they are redundant. Islam, by its very nature and according to its charter—the Quran—is a radical political movement. It is the Useful Idiot who sanitizes Islam and misguides the populace by saying that the ‘real Islam’ constitutes the main body of the religion; and, that this main body is non—political and moderate.

Regrettably, a large segment of the population goes along with these nonsensical euphemisms depicting Islam because it prefers to believe them. It is less threatening to believe that only a hijacked small segment of Islam is radical or politically driven and that the main body of Islam is indeed moderate and non—political.

But Islam is political to the core. In Islam the mosque and state are one and the same—the mosque is the state. This arrangement goes back to the days of Muhammad himself. Islam is also radical in the extreme. Even the ‘moderate’ Islam is radical in its beliefs as well as its deeds. Muslims believe that all non—Muslims, bar none, are hellfire bound and well—deserve being maltreated compared to believers.

No radical barbaric act of depravity is unthinkable for Muslims in dealing with others. They have destroyed precious statues of Buddha, leveled sacred monuments of other religions, and bulldozed the cemeteries of non—Muslims—a few examples of their utter extreme contempt toward others.

Muslims are radical even in their intrafaith dealings. Various sects and sub—sects pronounce other sects and sub—sects as heretics worthy of death; women are treated as chattel, deprived of many rights; hands are chopped for stealing even a loaf of bread; sexual violation is punished by stoning, and much much more. These are standard day—to—day ways of the mainstream ‘moderate’ Muslims living under the stone—age laws of Sharia.

The ‘moderate’ mainstream of Islam has been outright genocidal from inception. Their own historians record that Ali, the first imam of the Shiite and the son—in—law of Muhammad, with the help of another man, beheaded 700 Jewish men in the presence of the Prophet himself. The Prophet of Allah and his disciples took the murdered men’s women and children in slavery. Muslims have been, and continue to be, the most vicious and shameless practitioners of slavery. The slave trade, even today, is a thriving business in some Islamic lands where wealthy, perverted sheikhs purchase children of the poor from traffickers for their sadistic gratification.

Muslims are taught deception and lying in the Quran itself—something that Muhammad practiced during his life whenever he found it expedient. Successive Islamic rulers and leaders have done the same. Khomeini, the founder of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, for instance, rallied the people under the banner of democracy. All along his support for democracy was not a commitment of an honest man, but a ruse. As soon as he gathered the reins of power, Khomeini went after the Useful Idiots of his time with vengeance. These best children of Iran, having been thoroughly deceived and used by the crafty phony populist—religionist, had to flee the country to avoid the fate of tens of thousands who were imprisoned or executed by the double—crossing imam.

Almost three decades after the tragic Islamic Revolution of 1979, the suffocating rule of Islam casts its death—bearing pal over Iranians. A proud people with enviable heritage is being systematically purged of its sense of identity and forced to think and behave like the barbaric and intolerant Muslims. Iranians who had always treated women with equality, for instance, have seen them reduced by the stone—age clergy to sub—human status of Islamic teaching. Any attempt by the women of Iran to counter the misogynist rule of Muhammad’s mullahs is mercilessly suppressed. Women are beaten, imprisoned, raped and killed just as men are slaughtered without due process or mercy.

The lesson is clear. Beware of the Useful Idiots who live in liberal democracies. Knowingly or unknowingly, they serve as the greatest volunteer and effective soldiers of Islam. They pave the way for the advancement of Islam and they will assuredly be among the very first victims of Islam as soon as it assumes power.

Pope Francis Wants Everyone Except the Men Protecting Him to Give Up Their Weapons

December 28, 2023/in Courts & Law, Gun Rights, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Social Issues/by Jihad Watch

“Rome will be conquered in the near future, Allah willing.”

Great. It’s time for another call for “peace” that will be achieved by giving up all our weapons.

Pope Francis on Monday blasted the weapons industry and its “instruments of death” that fuel wars as he made a Christmas Day appeal for peace in the world and in particular between Israel and the Palestinians…

“It should be talked about and written about, so as to bring to light the interests and the profits that move the puppet strings of war,” he said. “And how can we even speak of peace, when arms production, sales and trade are on the rise?”

If he’s going to give up weapons, maybe start with telling the Swiss Guard to give up its “instruments of death”?

“For their protection and guard functions, the guards are equipped with Glock 19 and 26 automatic pistols, SIG 550 assault rifle (Stgw 90 ) and SIG 552 assault rifle (Commando), both in 5.56 mm x 45 caliber, OC-Spray and destabilizing devices (Taser X2). modernization of the already aging Stgw 90 (which was donated by the Swiss Army at the time), currently B&T APC 556 assault rifles and B&T APC 9 submachine guns are used.”

Beyond these, the only reason Vatican City isn’t overrun by guys with machine guns mounted on pickup trucks howling, “Allahu Akbar” is because there still is an Italian military, under the Lateran Treaty, such as it is, armed with some of those “instruments of death”.

Beyond it there’s the larger European community, NATO and the United States and all their instruments of death which serve as a guarantor of the security of the Vatican.

This is not a theoretical question.

Jihadists are obsessed with the idea of invading and conquering Rome to fulfill some of the genocidal prophecies of their cult.

On January 17, 2020, a video was uploaded to the Internet of an event at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on the anniversary of the 1453 AD capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire. The event was held by Hizb ut-Tahrir. Palestinian preacher Nidhal “Abu Ibrahim” Siam spoke before the crowd and said that the anniversary of the fall of Constantinople brings tidings that Rome will be conquered in the near future.

Nidhal Siam: “Oh Muslims, the anniversary of the conquest of Constantinople brings tidings of things to come. It brings tiding that Rome will be conquered in the near future, Allah willing.

Samir Zaqout, the head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Political Bureau in Gaza, said in a June 8, 2023 show on Al-Quds Al-Youm TV (Palestinian Islamic Jihad – Gaza) the Muslims will conquer Rome and Europe as the Prophet Muhammad foretold in the Hadith.” He said that this will happen “at its destined time.”

In a Friday sermon that aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV on April 11, 2008, Hamas MP and cleric Yunis Al-Astal said: “Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our Prophet Muhammad. Today, Rome is the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and has planted the brothers of apes and pigs [i.e., the Jews] in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam – this capital of theirs will be an advance post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe.

While Pope Francis encourages the Muslim migrants swarming into Europe to complete these genocidal “prophecies”, the only thing standing between Vatican City and an invasion are brave men armed with some of those “instruments of death.”

AOC likens Palestinians to Jesus in Christmas message, calls Israel a violent, occupying force

December 27, 2023/in Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

As a purveyor of the most hateful anti-Jewish propaganda, AOC goes to such an extreme that she has forgotten that Jesus was a Jew from the house of David, and that the region of Judea wasn’t renamed “Palestine” until a century after the time of Christ. Also, as it is succinctly put in a Jerusalem Post article: “Jesus’s homeland is under attack by Islamic terrorists.”

AOC slammed over Christmas message about Israel-Hamas war: ‘Jew hate’

by Melissa Koenig, New York Post, December 25, 2023:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez likens Palestinians to Jesus while describing Israel as a violent occupying force in an online Christmas post, prompting critics to slam what they call her blatant “Jew hate.”

In her Instagram story on Christmas Eve, the lefty New York Democrat shared a photo of a child in rubble in the Gaza Strip and said she is praying “for the peace and protection of the innocent in Gaza and the occupied territories.

“In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents,” she wrote.

“He was part of a targeted population being indiscriminately killed to protect an unjust leader’s power. Mary and Joseph, displaced by violence and forced to flee, became refugees in Egypt with a newborn waiting to one day return home.

“Thousands of years later, right-wing forces are violently occupying Bethlehem as similar stories unfold for today’s Palestinians, so much so that the Christian community in Bethlehem has canceled this year’s Christmas Eve celebrations out of both [fear for their] safety and respect,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.

“And yet, also today, holy children are still being born in a place of unspeakable violence — for every child born, of any identity and from any place, is sacred. Especially the children of Gaza,” AOC said…..

Biden apologizes to Muslim leaders in U.S. for questioning Hamas death toll

November 28, 2023/in Culture War, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

Why would anyone expect truth from a people who indoctrinate their children to hate and murder Israelis, spread lies including blood libels, celebrate “martyrdom” and use human shields? The nature of jihad war was revealed on October 7. Jihad is savage, and marked by deceit. The deceit is the hallmark of the stealth jihad, which skillfully employs propaganda.

Taqiyya (dissimulation) is an encouraged practice in Islam, backed by a Qur’anic verse:

And they [the disbelievers] schemed, and Allah schemed: and Allah is the best of schemers. Quran 3:54

As accurately stated about Palestinian culture by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak:

“They are products of a culture in which to tell a lie… creates no dissonance….They don’t suffer from the problem of telling lies that exists in Judeo-Christian culture….Truth is seen as an irrelevant category……There is only that which serves your purpose and that which doesn’t. They see themselves as emissaries of a national movement for whom everything is permissible. There is no such thing as ‘the truth’.”

Yet despite copious evidence regarding the Palestinian zeal for the “resistance” no matter what, Biden is still groveling to Muslims. He’s likely trying to salvage a prior vow he made to serve Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups in exchange for their votes. Biden still faces the stark truth, as other Western leaders do: that Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood have offshoots all over America and other Western countries.

Biden offers apology to Muslim-American leaders for questioning Hamas death toll: report

by Stepheny Price, Fox News, November 26, 2023:

President Biden reportedly issued an apology to several prominent Muslim-American leaders after openly questioning the accuracy of the death toll figures from Gaza.

During a press conference on Oct. 25, President Biden openly questioned the number of causalities in Gaza, which are reported by the Hamas government.

“I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed,” Biden said. “I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s a price of waging war.”

Biden met with five Muslim American leaders the day after his Oct. 25 comments about reported Gaza deaths.

During the meeting, Biden listened to the leaders describe people they knew who were directly impacted by the conflict in the Middle East.

“I’m sorry. I’m disappointed in myself,” Biden told the group, according to the Washington Post.

The Muslim-American leaders who met with Biden urged him to show more empathy to the Palestinians and Biden allegedly hugged one of the participants at the end of the meeting….

Pope Francis’ Silence On Hamas

November 20, 2023/in Culture War, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Social Issues/by Jihad Watch

Pope Francis, terminally naïve about Islam, believes he has a true understanding of the faith based partly on the reassurances given him by his new friend, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb. “War is deceit,” says Muhammad in a famous hadith, and Al-Tayeb has been cheerfully deceiving the Pope every chance he gets. Pope Francis has learned a lot from Al-Tayeb. He insists in his new book, Non Sei Solo: Sfide, Risposte, Speranze (You Are Not Alone: Challenges, Answers, Hopes), that “either you are a terrorist or you are a Muslim.” A “true” Muslim, he thinks, cannot be a terrorist. No one has pointed out to the Pope that Muhammad himself says in another hadith that “I have been made victorious through terror.” (Bukhari 4:52.220) And Muhammad is the Perfect Man and the Model of Conduct, whose behavior is to be emulated by Muslims.

Islam talks about peace, all right — the peace that will prevail once Islam everywhere dominates, and Muslims rule, everywhere. Until then war must be made on the Infidels, who when conquered must be either killed, or made to convert to Islam, or to accept the inferior status of dhimmis, enduring a host of social, political, and economic disabilities, including payment of the extortionate jizyah tax. In his infinite wisdom, the Pope has declared on many occasions, and in his latest book, too, that “Islam, in truth, is a religion of peace and the majority of its members are peaceful.” He’s wrong, of course. He need only look around the world at the Muslim terror groups that have been waging war against Infidels, and even against less fanatical Muslims, in recent years: the Islamic State, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Sipah-e-Sahaba, Boko Haram, Al-Shebaab, and so many more. Muslims have committed more than 44,000 terror attacks around the world since 9/11. The Qur’an is filled with verses about violence and waging war on Infidels. The Believers are instructed to “kill them [the Infidels] wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5). But one has the distinct impression that the Pope has never read the Qur’an. Why should he bother to do so, when such authoritative experts on Islam like Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayyeb assure him that Islam is all about peace?

Given the Pope’s affection for Islam, it is not surprising that he has been circumspect in his remarks on the atrocities carried out by Hamas on October 7. More on his failure to forthrightly condemn those attacks, which is risking the Vatican’s relations with the Jewish world, can be found here: “The Vatican is risking its relationship with the Jewish world,” by Vittorio Mascarini, JNS, November 16, 2023:

Relations between Israel and the Vatican have become tense in recent weeks.

In the immediate aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem, an ecumenical group of Christian leaders that includes the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, issued a joint statement in which they made no explicit mention of the Hamas atrocities. They included only a vague condemnation of any act that targets civilians.

The Israeli embassy to the Holy See criticized the statement’s “immoral linguistic ambiguity,” which failed to be clear about “what happened, who were the aggressors and who the victims. … It is especially unbelievable that such a sterile document was signed by people of faith.”

This controversy is only the latest in the fraught history of Israel-Vatican relations, which were officially established in Dec. 1993. Besides the Catholic Church’s historical antisemitism, the Vatican was long reluctant to formally recognize Israel for several reasons: Israel did not have internationally recognized borders, the status of Jerusalem and access to its holy sites had not been internationally guaranteed, and Catholics and their institutions were, the Church claimed, not adequately protected under Israeli law.

In addition, the Vatican had concerns about the treatment of Palestinians in the disputed territories and feared that relations with Israel could have negative repercussions for Catholics in Islamic countries.

This may explain why, to date, Pope Francis has not labelled Hamas a terrorist organization and has not met with families of Israeli hostages. The latter has not gone unnoticed, especially because the families were received by many leading national figures, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

According to the Catholic news site Cruxnow, the pontiff’s behavior can be explained as “positioning the Vatican potentially to play a mediating and peace-making role.” In addition, “The bulk of the Christian population in the Holy Land is Arab and Palestinian, so Middle Eastern bishops and clergy tend to be strong supporters of the Palestinian cause.”

Given the deplorable treatment of Israel by the Vatican — of which the failure to condemn Hamas is just the latest example, it is doubtful that Jerusalem would accept the Vatican as a mediator between the Jewish state and those who would destroy it.

Moreover, Cruxnow sees a historic shift underway in terms of the Vatican’s interfaith priorities: “Since the Second Vatican Council in the mid-1960s, Judaism has been the Church’s primordial relationship, unquestionably the highest priority in inter-religious dialogue. Under history’s first pope from the developing world, that’s no longer necessarily the case, as other relationships, especially the dialogue with Islam, have become at least an equally compelling perceived priority.”

Given this, it is not surprising that, since war broke out, Pope Francis has spoken with numerous world leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden, but there are no reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been among them.

Wouldn’t you think that after the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, the Pope would have wanted to speak with the leader of the Jewish state, if only to express his solidarity and understanding? But though the Pope has spoken with many world leaders about the ongoing war in Gaza, he has apparently snubbed the Israeli President. How does he hope to ever be a mediator if he will not talk to the Israeli prime minister?

The larger Catholic world has shown equal ambivalence towards the war. Among Eastern Catholic leaders, the Latin Catholic and Eastern churches in communion with Rome have issued what Israel deems a lukewarm and insufficient condemnations of Hamas. Their first communiqué, issued on Oct. 8, contained a generic statement “against any acts that target civilians, regardless of their nationality.” The next, on Oct. 13, decried the humanitarian situation in Gaza and called for de-escalation. It singled out only Israel in connection with humanitarian issues….

Instead of deploring the Hamas atrocities, the Eastern Catholic leaders uttered a generic condemnation “against any acts that target civilians.” They were afraid of the Muslim reaction if they singled out Hamas — as they should have — which would, however, make the lives of Catholics in the Arab countries more difficult. And just like Pope Francis, they did not mention the 240 hostages held by Hamas, or call for their release.

The Pope has to understand that the Jews of Israel now deserve his unambiguous support as they fight to destroy a murderous enemy that has pledged not only to destroy the single Jewish state and replace it with a twenty-third Arab one, but to kill Jews everywhere. No moral equivalency should be allowed. And he must also denounce, as he has not yet done so, the tidal wave of antisemitism, prompted in part by the war in Gaza, that threatens to engulf much of the world. He needs first to unambiguously denounce Hamas and all those who support the terror group. But will he? The signs from this Pope, who believes “Islam is all about peace,” are not good.

So far, Pope Francis has been weighed and found wanting.

Rolling Stone becomes latest Leftist publication to glamorize ‘Palestinian’ jihad terrorists

August 11, 2023/in Culture War, Hot Topics, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

This is not the first time that Rolling Stone has glamorized jihadis.

Rolling Stone Jumps On Pro-Terrorist Bandwagon

by Karen Bekker, CAMERA, August 3, 2023:

Although they’re slightly late to the party, Rolling Stone seems to have gotten the memo that the latest trend in antisemitic agitation posing as journalism is glamourizing young Palestinian terrorists. A nearly 6000-word piece by Jesse Rosenfeld – who has previously written for +972, The Nation, and Al Jazeera – fails to inform readers of Palestinian rejectionism, payments of salaries to convicted terrorists, or the effect of terror on Israeli society.

Instead, Rosenfeld portrays “Gen Z” terrorists as having no alternative but to take up arms against Israeli civilians: “‘Israel has left us no choice,’” he quotes his 22 year-old interview subject, a member of a Jenin-based terror cell, saying. “‘The occupation has proven that the more we are silent, the more it will take from us.’” What Israel has attempted to give to the Palestinians – that is, independence – isn’t mentioned.

And at the same time, the article portrays Israeli actions as wantonly evil. (“Generals, Peaceniks, and Palestinian Fighters Agree: Bibi Must Be Stopped,” July 22, reprinted on Yahoo.)

The piece brings to mind the adage that “a half-truth is a whole lie.” Consider the following passage from Rosenfeld’s article:

Elias and Mohammad al-Ashqar are in a state of shock. Sitting in the living room of their modest ground-floor family apartment in the Askar refugee camp on a brisk winter evening, they are surrounded by men from the community. The al-Ashqar brothers’ father, 61-year-old Abdel Hadi, had been shot and killed during an Israeli-army raid in the adjacent northern West Bank city of Nablus hours earlier.

The Israeli army stormed the crowded city at 10 a.m., opening fire as residents scrambled, abandoning their midmorning shopping to run for their lives down the winding streets.

Several paragraphs later, Rosenfeld does add that “the bloody Feb. 22 raid-turned-firefight was directed against the Lions’ Den.” From his description of events, however, a reader could easily think the IDF opened fire on Palestinian civilians for no reason at all. In fact, the Times of Israel reported, “The Israel Defense Forces said troops had entered Nablus to arrest [Hussam Bassam] Isleem, a senior member of the Lion’s Den terror group, who was allegedly the third member of a cell that killed Staff Sgt. Ido Baruch during a shooting attack in October.” According to a military source, “soldiers surrounded a home where three suspects, all members of the Lion’s Den terror group, were holed up, demanding they turn themselves in,” a gun battle broke out between the members of the terror cell and the IDF, and civilians were tragically killed in the crossfire. But Rolling Stone would prefer its readers to think the Ashqar brothers’ grief is solely a result of gratuitous Israeli violence.

This is typical of the nature of the entire piece, which is so one-sided as to be grossly dishonest. As another example, Rosenfeld tells us that in 2022, “29 Israelis were killed in Palestinian attacks.” But he did not humanize a single one of those Israelis, or the 20 civilians, including four children, that were killed so far in 2023, with the kind of story that he told about the Ashqar family. Posting the article, Rosenfeld tweeted, “I spoke to Palestinian fighters, leaders and occupied residents; former Israeli PM’s, a Shin Bet officer, a General and an army refusnik for this @RollingStone long read about Palestinian revolt in West Bank and unprecedented mass protest in Israel.” But he doesn’t appear to have spoken to any of the Israelis whose family members were lost to the terrorism he glamorizes, or those whose day-to-day lives have been damaged because of it.

Nor does he, in a 6000-word piece that took several months to report, relay any conversations with any members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s own party, or with any of the approximately one million Israelis who voted for it. He does, however, speak to many Israelis who oppose Netanyahu. The Palestinian Authority has exacted retribution on its critics in the past, which is presumably at least one reason why Rosenfeld’s Palestinian interview subject “Abu Nidal,” uses a pseudonym. But the many opponents of the Netanyahu government in Israel, including his political rivals, feel free to speak openly to Rosenfeld, who obligingly quotes them at length and uncritically. They know that no harm will come to them as a result of their words….

French President Blames ‘Video Games’ Instead of ‘Islam’ for Riots

July 11, 2023/in Commentary, Courts & Law, Culture War, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

“The video games that have intoxicated them” — Emmanuel Macron

While I don’t think modern digital entertainment is especially healthy, national leaders blaming movies and games instead of dealing Islamic violence is even less mentally healthy.

Here’s France’s President Macron trying hard not to talk about the thing you’re not supposed to address.

President Emmanuel Macron has mostly blamed social media for the devastation, but he has also claimed that video games have inspired copycat violence and vandalism.

“It sometimes feels like some of them are experiencing, on the streets, the video games that have intoxicated them,” Macron said in a press conference on July 1.

There were massive riots in France long before video games and while feedback cycles of simulated violence are probably not doing anything helpful for the minds of France’s youth, the bigger problem is that the youth increasingly consists of North African Muslims who have no investment in the country, a great deal of hostility to it and every reason to act out their version of the BLM riots.

Social media is playing a role here, but talking about the digital element ignores the real issue. Much like the arguments that video games caused school shootings, the vast majority of kids playing games don’t shoot up schools, and those who do have specific motives. Entertainment is rarely a motive, it may just occasionally suggest a means. Macron wants to talk about the adrenaline high rather than the underlying hatred.

Islam does not need video games to inspire violence in its followers and the clash of civilizations in France is not just a misfiring reptile brain. Everything else is a distraction from that simple reality.

The ‘LGBT Pride’ Flag’s True Colors are Blood Red with a Splash of Gold

June 15, 2023/in Commentary, Culture War, Hot Topics, Policy, Politics, Religion, Science, Social Issues/by Jihad Watch

pride

noun

a feeling of great satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements.

Achievements.

It might be news to some, especially to the left’s useful idiots on the left and the right, but the “LGBT Pride movement” is a communist movement. Same with the “Black Lives Matter movement,” the “Feminist movement,” etc. Because a naked communist movement might wake up too many Americans, and leftists know that, they hide behind race, sex and sexuality to push communism.

And we really need to stop calling leftists “liberals,” as even so-called conservative pundits continue to do. Leftists aren’t “old school classical liberals”; they’re fire-breathing anti-American commies looking to do us in from within, and if the last few years didn’t convince you of that, nothing will. As for the “old school classical liberals” who still exist, however few of them there are, some of them are under the delusion that the answer to leftism is liberalism, when it was liberalism that was subsumed by leftism, which showed its Achilles heel.

With the left now openly communizing and sexualizing children, through “entertainment” and government schools, and no doubt even some private schools, Americans who are known for their tolerance and acceptance, no matter what intolerant leftists claim, have had about enough of the left. We can tolerate a lot, we can accept a lot, and adults are free to do what they want, so long as they don’t hurt others, but once leftists went after children in such an obvious way that no one can deny, an actual resistance to leftist madness began to take place, and is growing stronger. The left’s response to this resistance, particularly the resistance by fed up parents, is for our leftist government and its now KGB-like FBI to identify parents who object to gay pornography in children’s books, etc., as “terrorists.” “Terrorists.”

And then you have the left’s useful idiots on the left and the right who celebrate “Pride” as if were a celebration of actual pride, which isn’t the case, as pride is a personal thing for individuals, for their achievements, not one’s sexuality. Then there are also the “Pride” celebrations at churches, held by Christians who are also the left’s useful idiots.

We’re halfway through “LGBT Pride Month,” and have yet to see MAGA hat-wearing homosexuals being celebrated by the “LGBT community,” furthering my point that this is a leftist movement, through and through. We’re told that it is an “inclusive” movement, but can you think of any non-Democrat/non-leftist/non-communist gays being celebrated during “LGBT Pride Month”? But we did see trans boobs being flopped around on the White House lawn, with the boob-in-chief saying about “LGBT” people, that they’re “the bravest and most inspiring people I’ve ever known.” He doesn’t know them, but he does know his son, Hunter, and he’s called him “the smartest man I know.” And the YouTube video of trans boobs being flashed on the White House lawn was slapped with age restrictions by YouTube, even though the leftists at YouTube are all in on sexualizing and communizing children.

As for those who still think they can get away with saying that they have no clue as to why decent Americans are objecting to the “LBGT” movement, they need to be reminded that most Americans didn’t give a damn about gay people, trans, and drag queens until they targeted children. Americans truly have a live and let live attitude, but leftists in America, who’ve embraced the foreign idea, leftism, don’t have that live and let live attitude. They not only want to drive electric cars, but they want to force all of us to do that. They don’t only want to take covid “vaccines,” they want to force all of us to take them. And so on. Leftists crossed the line when they explicitly went after children, and they can’t now pretend that they haven’t done that. That was the flashpoint for Americans. And I see that even some gays, notably the group, Gays Against Groomers, understand that the communist gays simply cannot resist crossing the line and upending years good will from average Americans.

In sum, the LGBT movement is a gay communist movement that now expresses a triumphalist attitude about their position in 2023, where they moan about how “marginalized” they are, while shoving their lifestyle in our children’s faces. As one of these gay supremacists put it the other day, “Straight sex is just not natural. Those are biological facts.” I would tell this gay supremacist that without natural straight sex, he and billions of people wouldn’t exist.

172,202 Murdered by Muslims Since Marvel’s Muslim Superhero Debuted

May 20, 2023/in Culture War, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jihad Watch

Marvel Wants Us to Mourn Her Fictional Death.

After ten years of failing to make their Muslim superhero popular, during which they’ve tried everything except making her compelling, Disney/Marvel just killed off Ms. Marvel in the comic books, likely in an attempt to try to make her relevant through sympathy as she will appear in an all-female movie that no one asked for, The Marvels, this November. The Ms. Marvel live action streaming show on Disney Plus is their lowest-viewed show. And Disney/Marvel only allows Muslims to write her adventures (unlike with Captain America, where they only allow anti-American leftists to write the patriot’s exploits), and dishonest Muslims at that, who are as leftist as they are Muslim. I attempted to become a watchdog for the comic book when it debuted, but I tapped out after only four issues, as it was mind-numbingly boring, and underhandedly propagandistic: Islam is good, Muslims are good, and there’s no such thing as jihad. The only reason we began to talk about Islam was jihad, and so of course the leftists at Disney/Marvel kept jihad out of their comic book, streaming series, and upcoming movie.

Marvel often boasts that their fictional world is “the world outside your window.” Well, the world outside of Marvel’s New York windows saw the atrocity of 9/11 take place, and Marvel mainly responded with crying fireman and crying cops, as if that’s what was needed in the face of evil. And they had their superheroes helping do the clean-up after the attacks, but didn’t have any of them hunt down the jihadists. If you’re going to allow the reality of 9/11 into your comic books, then you better allow at least one of your superheroes, one of the ruthless ones, to do what needs to be done, even if only in fiction.

So back to Ms. Marvel and her death, which Marvel is trying its best to create a buzz over, but the problem is that most people don’t even know about her. Also, she’s not being killed off in her own comic book, because she currently doesn’t have her own comic book. She’s being killed off in the pages of Marvel’s most popular superhero, Spider-Man, in order to try to make her appear important by association. And in a cover for an upcoming unearned tribute to Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man is on his knees, with his hands over his face, hysterically crying over the death of someone he barely knows. It’s embarrassing, but Marvel’s entire attempt to try to make her appear as a worthwhile character has been embarrassing. Based on her words and actions, no one would ever assume that she’s a Muslim. She’s Muslim the way Biden is president.

And in the ten years of her appearances across comic books, video games, cartoons, streaming shows and movies, Marvel kept her clear from doing what they now routinely do with their characters, that is, making them lock lips with someone of the same sex. I guess they thought twice about doing that because Muslims aren’t as permissive as most are about such matters.

Also, there’s another factor that may be behind this unexpected killing of a Muslim character. The Muslim Marvel editor who’s to blame for this relentlessly unpopular character is named Sana Amanat. She wears an Arafat scarf at comic book conventions. Amanat saw the gutless leftists at Marvel and made her move by pitching a Muslim superhero that she knew would not be denied, and once in, they’d never dare cancel the comic book. And so “Marvel’s First Muslim Superhero!” was born, which isn’t even true, as a British comic book writer, Grant Morrison, who tellingly declared himself a pacifist right after 9/11, created a Muslim mutant character, Dust, for the X-Men. And there likely were others before that. But since no one remembers those characters, Marvel touted its first Muslim superhero, as if having one were somehow a badge of honor. As for Amanat, as is often the case these days, whenever a non-white, non-straight employee of major companies such as Disney/Marvel acts in ways that are either scandalous or criminal, these companies never outright fire them, but quietly remove them from their positions. And that appears to be the case with Sana Amanat, who was once a reliable media whore, but who hasn’t been seen for a long time. And despite Disney/Marvel’s silence on the matter, some who claim to be insiders have said that she violated company policies in some damning way. So maybe getting rid of the character has something to do with getting rid of Amanat.

And while I mock Disney/Marvel and its Islamophilia, and it should be mocked, there really is something sinister about what it has done here. The comic book and streaming series is enemy propaganda produced by a domestic enemy for a foreign enemy. Even though innocent people continue to be murdered around the world by Islam’s true believers, a major American entertainment company has promoted a character who shares the same ideology as the Islamic enemy.

Superheroes were once a way for cartoonists during World War II to smash our enemies, to give themselves and their readers a much-needed taste of victory over them. Can you imagine Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, instead of creating Captain America in order to fight Nazis during World War II, creating a German superhero, while completely ignoring Nazis and the Holocaust? That’s what was going on with Disney/Marvel’s ten-year run of Islamic propaganda in wartime.
