This leads inevitably to curtailing also of […]
State Dept tweets speech by Muslim cleric who blames Mideast unrest on “world Zionism”
The people at State who are responsible for this probably didn’t see anything amiss. They probably believe much the same thing, even if they wouldn’t state it in the same lurid terms: they likely think that if Israel would just go away, peace would prevail in the Middle East. “State Department Tweets Speech by Cleric […]
Nigeria lesbian fleeing Sharia death sentence asks UK judge to save her life

Boston jihad murderer’s widow under investigation, could face charges

Russia jails Muslim for fund-raising for the Islamic State
Is Russian-language media as choked as the English-language media with articles assuring readers that Islam is, despite the avalanche of appearances to the contrary, a religion of peace?

Pelosi, Democrats fume at Netanyahu “condescension”
Iran is a threat to Israel and the free world in general? The Democrats know that. Israel’s relationship with the U.S. should be above politics? They know that. Israel will stand alone if it has to?
