In this video from 2014, Ben Shapiro points out the fallacy that radicals are a small percentage of muslims. It also exposes that the majority of muslims follow or believe Sharia Law which is antithetical to the Constitution. Ben Shapiro: The Myth of the Tiny Radical Muslim Minority

Each and every act of Muslim terrorism is followed by a wave of denial. The politicians who have done the most to cause the latest disaster are the eagerest to blame it on something, anything else. The San Bernardino Muslim massacre was blamed on postpartum depression at CNN. Bill Nye blamed the latest Paris attacks on Global Warming. According to Hillary Clinton, Benghazi was a movie review with artillery. Islamic terrorism was blamed by the State Department on a lack of jobs, but Syed Farook had a good government job and his wife was the daughter of a wealthy family....

Islam is similar to Judaism in the importance it gives to legal interpretation. As one Muslim scholar put it, “Shariáh instructs man on how he should eat, receive visitors, buy and sell, slaughter animals, clean himself, sleep, go to the toilet, lead a government, practice justice, pray, and perform other acts of [worship].” Unlike Christianity in the West, where divisive debates often have focused on theological doctrines, in Islam the most important schools of thought reflect differences in jurisprudence. There are four main schools of law for Sunnis (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafií, and Hanbali schools) and one for Shiítes (Ja'fari). The...

Too many Muslim immigrants are angry rather than grateful toward their new country. Why would Ms. Tashfeen Malik, who was born in Pakistan but lived most of her life in Saudi Arabia, want to come to the United States? She obviously hated the United States and its values, at least enough to help stockpile an arsenal and to kill 14 people and wound another 21 in San Bernardino. Or for that matter, why did her husband and co-mass-murderer Syed Rizwan Farook, if he was unhappy with his native America, not return to his parents' Pakistan, where he might, in greater...

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she does not use the term "radical Islam" because it sounds hostile to Muslims. Clinton told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday that the term "sounds like we are declaring war against a religion."

Seldom have I been prouder of my alma mater, Liberty University. Last week the President of Liberty, Jerry Falwell, Jr., was speaking to the students in convocation, the world's largest weekly gathering of Christian students. In that gathering, Mr. Falwell said that students should arm themselves and receive handgun instruction in the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris and California; incidentally two of the places in the world with the strictest gun control laws. President Falwell also said that if Islamic terrorists tried to harm his students, they would have another thing coming to them. Mr. Falwell's comments were right...

A Facebook profile established under an alias by Tashfeen Malik, one of the suspects in the California shooting, was removed by the company for violating its community standards, which prohibit praise or promotion of "acts of terror," a spokesman said Friday. Content celebrating leaders of the Islamic State would be removed under the company's standards, said a Facebook Inc spokesman, who asked not to be named.

SERIOUS QUESTIONS IN THE WAKE OF SAN BERNADINO There are some serious questions that need to be asked about what is happeneing in the United States. One of them IS NOT about further restrictions on firearms for law abiding citizens. Quite frankly, the best solution to criminals of any type (be they individuals, or radicalized groups) is NOT TO DISARM THE PEOPLE. Rather it is to have as many law abiding, honest citizens armed as possible. In that scenario, if two or three people walk into a crowded conference room of fifty, with the intent to kill, as soon as...

Originally published by the Jerusalem Post. Since the Islamic State attacks in Paris on November 13, we have seen the development of a new, and strange justification for the Obama administration’s insistent refusal to jettison its manifestly failed strategy of contending with IS specifically and with Islamic terrorism generally.

Republican presidential candidates respond to the ridiculous Democratic National Committee ad you can see here. Huckabee’s comment is most apposite, and is true not just of the DNC, but of the Obama Administration and the mainstream media — as well as much of the Republican establishment.“EXCLUSIVE: Republicans Slam DNC Ad Attacking Them for Using Term ‘Radical Islam,’” by Patrick Howley, Breitbart, November 21, 2015: WASHINGTON -Republicans are slamming the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) new attack ad criticizing the GOP for using the term “radical Islam.”After radical Islamists carried out deadly terrorist attacks in Paris, the DNC released an ad hitting...

Citizens of Belgium's capital Brussels haven been told to avoid crowded places like cafés, restaurants and theaters because of "precise information" about a planned terrorist attack. The city's metro has been shut down for the day. The steps were taken immediately after the Belgian government raised its terror alert to the highest possible level, implying that a terror attack is "imminent." The Belgian prime minister explained that the alert is a result of "quite precise information about the risk of an attack like the one that happened in Paris." A few days ago, the country raised its threat level to...

Joe Scarborough opened today's Morning Joe with coverage of the unfolding terror attack in Mali, and promptly turned to Ayman Mohyeldin for a report. The very first words out of Mohyeldin's mouth were "it's important to emphasize we still don't know the identity of these gunmen who have taken the hotel hostage." Great point, Ayman. I mean, sure, they were yelling Allah Akhbar, and released hostages who could recite passages from the Koran. But can anyone prove they're not a bunch of Yale frat boys on early Spring Break wearing hideously inappropriate Halloween costumes? Or perhaps some insufficiently sensitive Mizzou...

As the cleaning crews were mopping the dried blood from the stage and the seats of the Bataclan concert hall in Paris, a depressing act appeared on stage in distant Iowa. Saturday night the three contenders for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination took to the stage in Iowa for a debate. The moderator asked them whether they would be willing to use the term "radical Islam" to describe the ideology motivating Islamic terrorists to massacre innocents. All refused. Like her former boss, US President Barack Obama, former secretary of state and Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton not only refused to accept...

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump says the United States has "absolutely no choice" but to close down mosques where "some bad things are happening." "Nobody wants to say this and nobody wants to shut down religious institutions or anything, but you know, you understand it," Trump said on Fox News's "Hannity" on Tuesday. "A lot of people understand it. We're going to have no choice." Trump said on Monday he would "strongly consider" closing mosques if elected in response to the terrorist attacks in France last Friday that killed at least 129 people and injured hundreds more. Pressed to explain...

Danish police have raised their country's threat level after the terror attacks in Paris. Like other European countries, the Danes fear that terrorists may target them for attacks. Only minutes after word came out that the Danes raised their threat level, Dutch media reported that Copenhagen Airport was partially cleared after a "suspicious bag" was found. Every passenger in Terminal 3 has been asked to leave, and the metro won't stop at the airport until the bag has been taken care of. Clearly, Danish authorities fear the bag may contain a bomb. Passengers who have already checked in are allowed...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that it was time for the "world to wake up" and come together to fight terrorism which he asserted is fueled by "radical Islam." "In Israel, as in France, terrorism is terrorism and standing behind it is radical Islam and its desire to destroy its victims. The time has come for the world to wake up and unite in order to defeat terrorism," Netanyahu said at his weekly cabinet meeting, where he also described the attacks as "vicious." On Saturday, he likened the West's fight against radical Islamic terrorism to a civilizational battle...

My tweet simply said, "We know that most Muslims today are not terrorists. We also know that most terrorists today are Muslims." I tweeted this out on Friday night in the midst of the terror attacks in France, and I didn't think it would be controversial at all. In fact, it seemed self-evident. To my genuine surprise, the tweet generated a flood of negative responses. How dare I make such a statement! But is it really debatable? According to Middle Eastern scholar Daniel Pipes, since 9/11, there have been "27,000 attacks globally connected to Islam," many of which have involved...
