How did they come to misunderstand Islam after being taught its true, moderate form in modern, moderate Malaysia? “Six men charged over terror plot in Malaysia,” Agence France-Presse, April 30 2015: Six […]

Georgian jihadi: “All Muslims believe that they have to go to jihad”

And so he went to wage jihad in Syria. He didn’t think his obligation to go to jihad was fulfilled by taking the kids to school or going to the gym. This looks like a job for Hamas-linked CAIR: to disabuse young Ali of his misunderstanding of Islam! No doubt Ahmed Rehab and Ibrahim “Honest […]

Capitulation to violent intimidation is the order of the day. Kowtowing to thuggery is today’s act of “respect” for the “disadvantaged” and “marginalized.” Yet the more we kowtow to thuggery, the more a thugocracy is enabled. “Top Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Luz says will no longer draw Mohammed,” AFP, April 29, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller): […]
Once magnet for foreign mujahedeen, Bosnia now exports them
