Here we go again. On Day Eight of Ramadan, Islamic terrorists, most certainly from ISIS, struck once more in Britain, this time on London Bridge and in a bar down the street in Borough Market. As of now, six people are dead and over 40 are reported to be wounded. Three terrorists were shot and killed. Here we go again. At first there was the avoidance to label it as a terrorist act. It was a suspicious incident, a violent incident, a wreck; everything but the reality that it was another terrorist attack; everything, but the reality that these people...

Europe’s Next Big War Thousands of terrorists and thousands of soldiers. June 2, 2017 Daniel Greenfield Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on the radical left and Islamic terrorism. 2,000 cases. That was the most overlooked revelation to come from the testimony of the former FBI director. While the media parsed every Comey hiccup to bolster its election conspiracy theories, it ignored that number. Comey stated that there were around 2,000 terrorism investigations. 1,000 of those came from “home grown violent extremism” with no evidence of contact with foreign terrorists....

-"Ramadan has been not only a month of worship and of growing close to Allah the Almighty, but also a month of action and jihad aimed at spreading this great religion... throughout [Muslim] history, Ramadan has been a month of great conquests....". — 'Ali Gum'a, then Grand mufti of Egypt, Al-Ahram in July 2012. -"According to Islamic practice, sacrifice during Ramadan can be considered more valuable than that made at other times, so a call to martyrdom during the month may hold a special allure to some." — Report by the U.S. State Department-led Overseas Security Advisory Council, The Independent,...

-Europe still has not realized that the terror which struck its metropolis was a war, and not the mistake of a few disturbed people who misunderstood the Islamic religion. -We are apparently not ready to abandon our masochistic rules of engagement, which privilege the enemy's people over our own. -It appears that for Europe, Islamic terrorism is not real, but only a momentary disruption of its routine. We fight against global warming, malaria and hunger in Africa. But are we not ready to fight for our civilization? Have we already given up? This long and sad list is the human...

As the number of Muslims increase, the number of extremists increase. As the number of extremists increase, the number of terrorists increase. As the number of terrorists increase, so the word "terrorist" has to be defined down so that a beleaguered security state can refine its priorities: There's no time for your nickel'n'dime Isis recruits, brides of Isis, "Islamic Fighting Group" commanders, bomb-makers, embassy-bombing masterminds... When it's an ever more stretched net with ever more gaping holes, everyone slips through. Salman Abedi did not become a terrorist, a murderer, an "extremist", until the final moments of his life. But it's...

A new teaching aid telling primary school children that terrorists kill people because they believe they are treated “unfairly” has been slammed by education campaigners. Published just weeks before a suicide bomber attacked a concert in Manchester, killing 22 people including seven children, Talking About Terrorism recommends teachers “invite children to write a letter to a terrorist”.

The prime minister of Poland has launched a blistering attack on the “political elites” of Europe in the wake of the Manchester terror attack, warning the continent must put in place “strong politicians” willing to tackle the threat or risk “crying over your children”. Speaking in the Polish Parliament on Wednesday, Beata Szydło seized the moment to launch an excoriating attack on European Union leaders following the Manchester attack which, among others, claimed the lives of a Polish couple, leaving their two daughters as orphans. “We are not going to take part in the madness of the Brussels elite,” she...

Katy Perry, who seems to be devolving into a version of Miley Cyrus, once again proves the sheer vapidity and hypocrisy of wealthy entertainers. Following the terrible attack in Manchester England Perry offered a large dollop of what passes for thought in her head: Pop megastar Katy Perry made an impassioned plea for people to “co-exist” and said that “barriers” or “borders” could detract from that goal in an interview following the terrorist bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, U.K. on Monday night that claimed the lives of at least 22 people and injured dozens of others. In...

We have now learned that the Manchester Islamic Terrorist not only attended known Radical Mosques in the UK, not only went to Libya and Syria for training, was not only known by people in his local community as pro-ISIS, but also that he had know links to terror supporters, With all this knowledge (much of it was known even before the attack), what was the first reaction of the European Union?

The police and security services missed at least five opportunities over five years to stop Salman Abedi from carrying out his deadly terror attack, it has emerged. Following the deadly attack at the Manchester Arena by Abedi on Tuesday night, which claimed 22 lives, questions are being raised as to why the British authorities did little to follow up on repeated reports from friends and community members that Abedi was radicalised and had expressed support for suicide bombing. The reports date back five years, when two youth workers are said to have phoned an anti-terrorism hotline to report concerns over...
