Two al Qaeda terrorists who had killed American soldiers were able to enter the country as refugees, according to a report released Wednesday from the House Homeland Security committee.Waad Ramadan Alwan and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, two Iraqi refugees settled in Bowling Green, Kentucky, after killing American soldiers, whom they bragged about having “for lunch and dinner.” In 2010, they were caught handling weapons, including included a machine gun and a missile launcher, that they planned to smuggle to insurgents in Iraq.“I wouldn’t be surprised if there were many more than that,” said Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas), the chairman of the...

We hear so often about Muslims as victims of abuse in the West and combatants in the Arab Spring's fight against tyranny. But, in fact, a wholly different kind of war is underway--an unrecognized battle costing thousands of lives. Christians are being killed in the Islamic world because of their religion. It is a rising genocide that ought to provoke global alarm.The portrayal of Muslims as victims or heroes is at best partially accurate. In recent years the violent oppression of Christian minorities has become the norm in Muslim-majority nations stretching from West Africa and the Middle East to South...

On Oct. 31, 2010, a dozen Islamist gunmen stormed the Catholic cathedral of Our Lady of Salvation, in Baghdad. Striking during a service, they butchered some 60 priests and worshipers, notionally in revenge for insults to Islam. Ghastly as that crime might be in its own right, atrocities of this kind are quite commonplace around the world. Mobs sack churches in Egypt, Nigerian suicide bombers target worshiping congregations, and Eritrea has its hellish concentration camps for Christians. "Christians today," writes John L. Allen Jr., "indisputably are the most persecuted religious body on the planet." So widespread and systematic are the...

This post is the sixth in a series on the most prevalent modern myths about the Crusades and how to refute them.The world reacted in horror at the despicable and evil Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris.  It is natural, in the face of such evil, to ask why. Why did these attacks occur? Why are some Muslims drawn to groups like ISIS, and why are they willing to kill innocent people in the name of religion? Many believe  economics, Western foreign policy, or religion is to blame. Some believe that history—or, more specifically, certain historical actions—provide the answer. ISIS,...

Under federal law, the executive branch is expressly required to take religion into account in determining who is granted asylum. Under the provision governing asylum (section 1158 of Title 8, U.S. Code), an alien applying for admission must establish that ... religion... was or will be at least one central reason for persecuting the applicant. Moreover, to qualify for asylum in the United States, the applicant must be a 'refugee' as defined by federal law. That definition (set forth in Section 1101(a)(42)(A) of Title , U.S. Code) also requires the executive branch to take account of the alien's religion: The...

• Will the Obama administration's policy toward Egypt be based on a perception that the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood would be extremely dangerous? Or have they taken the position - voiced in parts of the U.S. foreign policy establishment - that the Brotherhood has become moderate and can be talked to? Initial administration reactions indicate that it does not rule out Muslim Brotherhood participation in a future Egyptian coalition government. • Since January 28, the Muslim Brotherhood's involvement has become more prominent, with its support of Mohamed ElBaradei to lead the opposition forces against the government. In the streets...

Osama’s One Size Fits All IslamismSeptember 12, 2010 By Sally NeighbourNine years after al-Qa’ida attacked the US, Osama bin Laden’s dream of establishing an international Islamic super-state is as remote and elusive as ever.For the militants who continue to wage jihad, restoring the caliphate — the Islamic empire founded by the prophet Mohammed in the 7th century and ultimately dismantled after World War I — remains an article of faith.So, what would the much vaunted caliphate look like? To Western critics it resembles a brutal totalitarian state, while many Muslims envisage the perfect system of rule, governed by the...

TOP Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson’s burka outburst could see “rivers of blood” on Britain’s streets. The TV loudmouth caused outrage by claiming Muslim women wear G-strings under their burkas on last Sunday’s show. And hate preacher Anjem Choudary warned Islamic fanatics will “go to war” to protect the honour of their women. He declared: “Clarkson may think he was funny or was telling a joke when he said these things. But this is not funny to everyone. And by making fun or disrespecting the burka and Muslim women he has deeply offended many people...." “"Clarkson has stirred a hornets’ nest...

Last week, John Brennan, the assistant to the President for homeland security and counterterrorism approvingly recalled a key point in the speech Mr. Obama delivered in Cairo in June: "America is not and never will be at war with Islam." Unfortunately, that statement ignores the fact that the decision as to whether the United States is at war with anybody is not entirely up to our leadership or people. The real question is: Is 'Islam' at war with us? It is certainly true that hundreds of millions of Muslims the world over are not seeking to wage war against the...

A single mega-colony of ants has colonised much of the world, scientists have discovered. Argentine ants living in vast numbers across Europe, the US and Japan belong to the same inter-related colony, and will refuse to fight one another. The colony may be the largest of its type ever known for any insect species, and could rival humans in the scale of its world domination. What's more, people are unwittingly helping the mega-colony stick together. Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) were once native to South America. But people have unintentionally introduced the ants to all continents except Antarctica. These introduced Argentine...

Radical Islam’s plan for world domination BY ED VITAGLIANO - AFA Journal, April 2008   In January 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped by Muslim radicals in Pakistan. A few days later, the 38-year-old journalist was beheaded.   In a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece in January 2008, Judea Pearl, a UCLA computer science professor and the father of Daniel, noted the implacable nature of such Muslim radicals. Pearl said, “The shocking element in Danny’s murder was that he was killed, not for what he wrote or planned to write, but for what he represented – America, modernity, openness, pluralism, curiosity,...

(Activism of) Islam is a political party of World Domination Submitted by Al.R.O'Ackbar (United Kingdom), Jan 4, 2006 at 16:48 Islam has a judicial code with laws laid down. These laws include subjugating non-muslims. Germany has banned the nazi party which had simliar beliefs to those expressed in the Koran and hadiths. Wearing nazi regalia and doing the nazi salute are both banned in Germany. Islam should be treated in the same way. Many, many muslims deny the holocaust, althou illegal in Germany...

Commentary: Iraq ripe for Iranian domination Richard Beeston, Foreign Editor of The Times Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was right to look smug at the end of his two-day state visit to Iraq. Not only did he become the first Iranian president to visit Baghdad, but he also took a big step towards achieving the victory that had eluded Ayatollah Khomeini, the father of the Iranian revolution.

Palestinians back caliphate over politics By Carolynne Wheeler in Kfar Aqab, West Bank Last Updated: 1:16am BST 27/08/2007 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/08/27/wpal127.xml By day, they are the middle class, putting in days as mild-mannered teachers, factory supervisors and office clerks.

The Muslim population in this country is not like any other group, for it includes within it a substantial body of people—many times more numerous than the agents of Osama bin Ladin—who share with the suicide hijackers a hatred of the United States and the desire, ultimately, to transform it into a nation living under the strictures of militant Islam. Although not responsible for the atrocities in September, they harbor designs for this country that warrant urgent and serious attention. In June 1991, Siraj Wahaj, a black convert to Islam and the recipient of some of the American Muslim community's...
