Would they do such a thing? Trust in our government has lowered to the point that some people are suggesting that the New Orleans jihad massacre was aided and abetted, or even concocted, by the feds in order to stir up unrest as Trump prepares to return to the presidency, or to create a pretext for some other action. Some of those who are making suggestions of this kind, such as Candace Owens, just want to find some plausible way to blame Jews, or to claim that it’s all in the service of trying to get the U.S. involved in...

Will Western governments now start to admit that there is such a thing as the global jihad, and that it is advancing? No, they’re much more likely to continue in their delusions and fantasies until the jihadis get around to confronting them directly.

As President Biden makes his way to the US Capitol for the State of the Union Address, a large crowd of pro-Palestine activists are obstructing the motorcade route on Pennysylvania Ave. At present, a large gathering of pro-Palestine protesters has effectively closed off Pennsylvania Avenue just outside the US Capitol. They are seated around a sizable Palestinian flag, actively aiming to impede the motorcade route as President Joe Biden makes his way to the US Capitol for the State of the Union address in Washington, D.C. The demonstrators are calling for a permanent ceasefire.

The headline is regarded as far worthier of condemnation than the fact that thousands in one city repeatedly celebrated the indiscriminate massacre and rape of men, women, and children.. Last Friday, The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed titled “Welcome to Dearborn, America’s Jihad Capital,” by Middle East expert Steven Stalinsky. While the usual corners of the political left, including President Biden himself, excoriated the article, no one has proven it to contain a single incorrect fact. Stalinsky outlined how, in the wake of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack in Israel, the Detroit suburb erupted in pro-Hamas protests. At these,...

MOSUL, Iraq — The Civil Defense Directorate of Iraq announced that 143 bodies had been exhumed from a mass grave in Mosul, Nineveh Governorate.

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO Tweeted Feb 1, 2022: In a closed door hearing this morning on the Islamic terrorist attack against the Jewish synagogue in Texas, FBI assistant director repeatedly refused to acknowledge the FBI was wrong jn failing to call the attack what it was - terrorism directed against Jewish Americans.Feb 1, 2022 Why is this difficult? Why can’t the FBI acknowledge Islamic terrorism when they see it. And why are they even now defending their original asinine comments saying the attack was “not related to” the Jewish community.

Salem Talk Radio host Sebastian Gorka reports tonight that hundreds of Aghani citizens were flown to Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. “Officers escorting them were ordered: ‘Once the foreign nationals hit the public concourse, do not stop them from leaving if they decide to separate from the group,'” Gorka noted. It’s not clear if these individuals have been vetted or if they have undergone any screening to make sure they are not radical extremists or infected with the China virus. Fox 5 DC reports that the Afghanis have been landing at the airport for several days. “We’re told that...

Having captured key districts and border posts with Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, the Taliban are now hunting for women in these areas. “All imams and mullahs in captured areas should provide the Taliban with a list of girls above 15 and widows under 45 to be married to Taliban fighters,” read a letter issued in the name of the Taliban’s Cultural Commission for Islamic preachers in the region. The Taliban has promised to marry these women to their fighters and take them to Pakistan’s Waziristan. There, these women will be converted to Islam and reintegrated. Is anyone talking about...

Islamic Republic of Pakistan army instructed jihadis to wear military uniforms to dodge foreign observers NOV 2, 2019 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER “War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268).

The intense fire fight was over in just seven seconds, and quickly led to the militant group's surrender of the stronghold. The covert operation took place on an Islamic State outpost in Baghdad, Iraq. Several other terrorists emerged from the building but immediately surrendered and began panicking as two of the bodies didn’t have heads – they thought they were about to be executed.'

Virginia: jailed “rock star” jihadist may be released early over “vague” crime law JUN 26, 2019 3:43 PM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema has given prosecutors a month to explain “why she shouldn’t overturn three of the 10 counts” on which Islamic scholar Ali Al-Timimi of Fairfax was convicted at his 2005 trial. “The review in the case….comes after the Supreme Court….struck down part of a federal law regulating crimes of violence as unconstitutionally vague.” So now Judge Brinkema may toss out parts Al-Timimi’s conviction, allowing him an early release. Justice Brett Kavanaugh warned about the many...

Syria regime plans to open new front to regain momentum Amman - Turkey has equipped an array of mainstream Syrian rebels it backs with fresh supplies of weaponry to help them try to repel a major Russian-backed assault, senior opposition officials and rebel sources said on Saturday.

More Islamic terrorists released from prison after having been sent through “deradicalization” programs are returning to terrorism

A man who lent his flat to two jihadists involved in the November 2015 Paris attacks has been sentenced on appeal to four years in prison. Jawad Bendaoud, 32, was accused of harbouring Abdelhamid Abaaoud and Chakib Akrouh following the killings. He denied knowing they were attackers. He was cleared at the trial in 2018, but prosecutors immediately appealed. The co-ordinated suicide bombing and mass shootings around Paris killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more.

Exactly 233 years ago this week, two of America’s founding fathers documented their first exposure to Islamic jihad in a letter to Congress; like many Americans today, they too were shocked at what they learned. Context: in 1785, Muslim pirates from North Africa, or “Barbary,” had captured two American ships, the Maria and Dauphin, and enslaved their crews. In an effort to ransom the enslaved Americans and establish peaceful relations, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams -- then ambassadors to France and England respectively -- met with Tripoli’s ambassador to Britain, Abdul Rahman Adja. Following this diplomatic exchange, they laid out...

An inveterate fan of Christmas music, I added to my Sirius presets the Hallmark Radio Channel -- Channel 70, if you are looking -- the day after Thanksgiving. I have been rotating this channel, which plays standards from the American songbook, with a Christian station that features more traditional Christian music. I was pleased to hear that the Hallmark Channel continues to play the slightly naughty, 1949, call-and-response classic, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” Hallmark, in fact, may very well play this song in its multiple versions more than any other. Composed by Frank Loesser of “Guys and Dolls” fame,...
