Why do Islamic terror attacks increase so dramatically during the ‘holy’ month of Ramadan in Islam? Because Islam teaches that during that time, their moon god Allah will ‘reward them double’ for acts of martyrdom where they kill themselves and innocent people around them. Allah is angry all the time, it would seem, and the only thing that serves to pacify him to any degree is when his followers murder the ‘infidels’ who don’t believe in him. Ironically, most of the people killed in Islamic terror attacks during Ramadan are Muslims. Go figure. Ramadan Rage 2019: Jihadis Kill 165, Wound...

Omar, who said she experienced a surge in death threats in the days after the April 12 tweet, pressed Dorsey to explain why the company...

Shoes and debris litter the steps of St. Sebastian church as residents reveal shock of attackWhen the first wave of blasts rocked St. Sebastian Church on Easter Sunday, more than 1,000 people had gathered to celebrate the holiest day in the Christian calendar. As details start to emerge and the investigation gets underway, residents reveal their shock at being targeted.

Minuri, 26, said she was outside the church when the explosion occurred and...

Sri Lanka: Jihad murderer Mohamed Azzam Mohamed blew himself up in busy Easter Sunday hotel buffet line “‘It was 8:30 am and it was busy. It was families,’ the manager told AFP. ‘He came up to the top of the queue and set off the blast,’ he added.” He wanted to maximize the carnage; his god promised Paradise for those who “kill and are killed” for him (Qur’an 9:111), so he might have thought he could increase the reward he would receive by killing as many people as possible. “Eight blasts at churches, hotels across Sri Lanka kill at least...

We need to build the wall. Americans awoke Wednesday to yet another awful reminder that we still live in a world beset with radical Islamic terrorism.

CNN released an image of the device delivered to the Time Warner Center today in New York that forced the building to evacuate. Snip Some online noted that if you look carefully at the image, there appears to be an ISIS flag: The media is largely consolidating around the theory that these packages were sent by a Trump voter who is lashing out at perceived enemies of the president. An ISIS flag on one of the bomb’s detonators would of course complicate that theory.

There is no reason for the United States not to push for a better deal—mainly one that addresses legitimate concerns without blowing up the agreement itself.On Monday, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu dramatically unveiled records detailing “Project Amad,” Iran’s “comprehensive program to design, build, and test nuclear weapons.” The information was taken from 100,000 pages of documents Israel had secretly obtained in January from a warehouse in Tehran. The records do not deal with ongoing aspects of Iran’s nuclear program—Project Amad was suspended in 2003—but they do show that Tehran had been lying about the program’s peaceful intent. They also...
