Just as I warned and predicted, the communist in Gracie Mansion is making good on his red promises. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio carried out one of his most vicious campaign promises: closing charter schools. His attack on the poor’s only option for a good education was in service to the teachers union.

At least 29 innocent people died, and more than 130 were injured in the attack as of 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, the local authorities said.

A group of knife-wielding Muslims attacked the Kunming Railway Station in the capital of southwest China’s Yunnan Province at around 9 p.m. on Saturday.

Tonight’s Saturday Night Cinema feature is Fort Apache the Bronx (1981), starring Paul Newman. Paul Newman plays a veteran policeman in this hard-boiled cop story. The men in blue are neither portrayed as heroes or brutes, but as “ordinary human beings who try to cope in a pressure-cooker.”
The film is a tough-talking street melodrama, both shocking and sorrowful, acted by Paul Newman and a huge cast with the kind of conviction that can’t be ignored.

Today a caucus, tomorrow the Congress. Politicians are so desperate to find “the moderate Muslims” that they’ll do extraordinarily stupid things. 15,000 Ahmadi Muslims and they get their own caucus? These “moderate” Muslims smear, defame and attack counter jihadists like Robert Spencer and me, so color me skeptical. I have debated them on television here and in print. They provide essential cover for the global jihad.

Memphis is one of those gateway cities in which the State Department dumps whole Muslim communities under the Refugee Resettlement programs. The OIC (Organizaion of Islamic Cooperation)-driven UN designates who and who isn’t a refugee. Is it any wonder that Christians are trapped in Muslim countries while jihadists are welcomed here with full entitlements? Now that beleaguered city is getting a seven-million-dollar, 63,144-square-foot mega-mosque. Who pays for these mosquestrosities?

CPAC’s unending blunders and missteps are the subject of a snarky Washington Post piece today. Once again, CPAC’s uninvited is making more news than the event itself. The Washington Post is running a piece on the uninvited. Of course, yours truly is number six on the list. Atlas readers won’t be surprised by that.

A Saudi teacher was caught on camera using a thick stick to lash school boys on their feet at the school’s mosque in the Gulf Kingdom.

A YouTube film carried by the Saudi Arabic language daily ‘Ajel’ showed the teacher using full force to whip the boys’ feet as other students looked on.

Court terror for Lee Rigby’s family as his Muslim killers are dragged from dock shouting ‘Allahu akbar’ while fighting prison guards – before judge tells them life will NOT mean life,” The British government barred Robert Spencer and me from laying a wreath at the site of Lee Rigby’s murder. Now I ask you. Who are the real misunderstanders of Islam? Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, or the dhimmwitted British government?

This ‘argument’ is very illustrative of the fallacious debate on jihad and the West’s misunderstanding of Islam and the jihadists themselves. We are told by media, cultural and political elites about “misunderstanders” or “hijackers” of Islam — the kuffar explaining Islam would be laughable if the human cost wasn’t so high.

What’s it going to take for the clueless kufar to get it? They” don’t know Islam is.” How many heads have to roll in the UK or Nigeria or israel or Egypt or Nigeria or China or Burma or Bosnia or Thailand or Banfgladesh or Manhattan or Fort Hood or …

A prominent Al Jazeera anchor with close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement praising the murders of police officers and advocating attacks on journalists who stand with Egypt’s current government.

Released GITMO detainees rehabilitated? The only way to rehabilitate these devout Muslims is to convert them out of the faith.

Former Guantanamo Bay detainees have either been confirmed as reengaging in terrorism or are suspected of doing so according to a September report from the Director of National Intelligence.

I will be on ‘’Insight Tonight with Ashok Vyas,’’ which is live from 7:30pm to 8:30pm (Eastern) on ITV tonight to discuss my work with the host.

We will discuss a range of subjects, including ….

A Muslim beat his Filipina wife with a stick to death after learning she was pregnant, saying she violated their agreement when they got married.

The Texas compound is called “Mahmoudberg,” located in south Texas’ Brazoria County on County Road 3 near the town of Sweeny, which has a population of about 4,000. Jamaat ul-Fuqra was the jihad terrorist organization that murdered journalist Daniel Pearl – he had gone to try to interview its leader. According to an informed source, one of Pearl’s murderers now lives at Mahmoudberg.

Clerics in the UAE have deemed a colony on Mars as being un-Islamic.

The Muslim world, always making news in the silliest, most ridiculous ways. I suppose this is not as bad as the women breastfeeding their male colleagues fatwa, maybe not. But surely not the urine fatwa.

Does anyone really believe this 7th century savage culture has the intellectual curiosity to get to the North Pole, let alone Mars (or even the moon, for that matter)?

George Bernard Shaw adapted his own play for the screen in this blithe film version of the romance between Caesar (Claude Rains) and Cleopatra (Vivien Leigh). Shaw’s Caesar and Cleopatra are merely Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle cast back into ancient times, with Caesar doting with admiration and burgeoning love upon Cleopatra.

Muslims are demanding a “right of return in Spain – a return to Andalusia, the Golden Age of Islamic Jew hatred, Christian persecution and dhimmatude. Islamic supremacism rages on across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East. Here the weaponized “right of return” is being used against Spain (and why not? The Muslims are beating Israel to death with it.)

In what Sudanese Christians believe is part of a campaign by Islamist President Omar al-Bashir to rid the country of Christianity, bulldozers accompanied by local police and personnel from the National Intelligence and Security Services destroyed the Sudanese Church of Christ building in the Ombada area of Omdurman, across the River Nile from Khartoum, they said.

So for those who insist that sharia coming to America, step back. It’s here. A local Muslim took the podium to address concerns he had with the city. The man, who identified himself as Hassan, stated that he lived in Westland but had concerns he wanted to address as an individual who works in the city. He refused to publicly give his address fearing for the safety of his family.

Devout Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary warned on national British television that there would be more Muslims beheading infidels in the streets of London. “Many are questioning why he should be allowed on the programme.” Since when? Preacher Anjem Choudary, CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, Reza Aslan, Tariq Ramadan, and Rashid Khalidi are all given extraordinary platforms from which to preach their Islamic rhetoric. Muslims are given a national and international platform, while counter jihadists are blacklisted and silenced.

After I published my article “National Disgrace: 9/11 Museum to Charge $24 Admission” at Breibart last week, I sent a few follow-up questions to Museum officials. Anthony Guido, Communications Manager at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, sent me answers:

America “will come down on them like a ton of bricks.” Listen to this… The U.S. would come down on that company like a ton of bricks. It would destroy it.
By his craven capitulation and appeasement, Obama has made himself the object of scorn and derision in the Muslim world. Like shooting goldfish in a barrel.
ZerO elicits zero respect in the Muslim world. They come to mock Obama, not to praise him. They despise weakness, and he embodies it.

Members of the Russian femme activist group, Pussy Riot, are on a U.S. tour – a veritable tour de force. Having landed in the country last week, the Pussy Rioters are being feted by cultural, political and media elites. They are the cause celebre. The flavor du jour. Why all love and gush? The elites are prostrating themselves before these women because Pussy Riot staged a political protest in a church, a cathedral.

Madrid jihad bomber, Mohamed Larbi Ben Sellam, aka Abu Zoubair, a Moroccan-born member of the Al-Qaeda-inspired terrorist cell that carried out the March 11, 2004 Madrid train bombings, will be extradited to Morocco after completing a nine-year prison term in Spain. Beginning at 7:37 am and continuing for several minutes, 10 bombs exploded on four trains in and around Atocha Station in the city’s centre, leaving 191 dead and more than 1,800 injured.

140,000 dead, and the world obsesses over …. Israel. Muslims march into Cyprus and take over the northern half of the country, and the world obsesses over ….. Israel. Millions of refugees were displaced by the partition of India, and the world obsesses over fictional Palestinian refugees. Devout Muslim groups are waging bloody jihad in Nigeria, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Lebanon, Egypt, China, the Philippines, Syria, Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, the Central African Republic, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, and the world is obsessed with Soda Stream.

Tonight’s Saturday Night Cinema is the first and best of three Hollywood adaptions of W. Somerset Maugham’s gut-wrenching Of Human Bondage (1934). Bette Davis as the vicious object of Leslie Howard’s affections is unforgettable: cruel and unworthy of such love — but then, aren’t most of us?

Scroll down for more of the threats populating social media networks. “Another Lee Rigby style beheading is long overdue.” “It is fard ayn to attack the crusaders in their own land.” Fard al-Ayn. In Islamic law, refers to legal obligations that must be performed by each individual Muslim, including prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage. One…

Valentine’s Day is banned in many Muslim countries. Exhibiting, yet again, their extra special brand of tolerance and interfaith dialogue, the Muslim war on the day of love continues with ….. stoning. While one group of students of Peshawar University celebrated Valentine’s Day, another celebrated Haya Day (modesty day) leading to a clash that turned violent. Students threw rocks at fellow students celebrating Valentine’s Day, forcing the police to intervene. Violence escalated as the students pulled out weapons and started firing at police officers as well.

Religious leaders in Uzbekistan have condemned St. Valentine’s Day as a harmful holiday that contradicts both Islam and local traditions.

Muslim Student Action Union (Kammi) urged Indonesian Muslims to avoid celebrating Valentine’s Day.

“Valentine’s Day should be strictly rejected and [not] celebrated by young people by committing immoral deeds….” Jabar Zurniawati, the head of Kammi’s women’s empowerment division, said on the sidelines of the rally, as quoted by news portal Detik.com.

The Valentine’s day ban under the sharia force roses force hidden trafficking of red roses and heart-shaped chocolates. Sold under the counter for fear of religion police…..

Malaysian state of Selangor have surprised high school students by distributing pink-colored leaflets with the guidelines of the day deemed by many scholars as haram or banned.

The survey is hardly surprising. Muslim hate of love day is nothing new. Let’s hope that the death toll is not too high today. Valentineophobia can be vicious. The Muslim’s attitude towards Valentine’s Day (Islamweb): “The Muslim’s attitude towards this holiday should be clear: “He should not celebrate it, or join others in their celebrations of it, or attend their celebrations because it is forbidden to celebrate the festivals of non-Muslims.”

Like every other library in America, Boston University library books are shelved according to the Dewey Decimal System, not by title or “importance.” Muslim students told administrators that they were offended because the Koran wasn’t given a place of honor on a top shelf, as dictated by Islamic law and custom. Library staff were then ordered to shift entire sections of books in the stacks so that the Koran could be “honored” appropriately.

This corrects a grave injustice. But it won’t be over until they clear his name.
On March 20th, 2009, Army Ranger 1st Lieutenant Michael Behenna was sentenced to 25 years in prison for killing Ali Mansur, a known Al Qaeda operative, while serving in Iraq. During an interrogation, Mansur attacked Lt. Behenna, who killed the jihadist in self-defense. The government subsequently prosecuted Lt. Behenna for premeditated murder. Unconscionable.

Khurram Syed Sher, a doctor of pathology from London, Ont., is being tried with conspiracy to facilitate terrorism.

Seattle Transit refused to run the FBI’s Global Terrorism ad, so AFDI submitted it, and was refused. Of all the free speech legal battles I am embroiled in, this one is the most absurd. And the most fun, because it is so ridiculous on its face, but it illustrates the crippling submission and capitulation of government authorities to Islamic supremacist demands.

California Muslima Shaima Alawadi was honor killed by her husband. Kassim Alhimidi has been charged with the beating death of his long suffering wife. The Chicago Monitor, which is a front site for CAIR in Chicago, featured an article claiming that “Shaima Alawadi was beat to death inside her home and left next to a note that read, ‘This is my country. Go back to yours, terrorist.’ She was a 32-year-old mother of five who had left her country, Iraq, with her family following the Shiite uprisings, in hopes of finding peace in El Cajon, CA. These two now-lifeless Americans represent the true victims of America’s inherent racism and prejudice.”

Another requirement of Bazian’s class, entitled De-Constructing Islamophobia and History of Otherness, is for students to get reactions from “people of color” on ads critical of radical Islam placed by Pamela Geller, author of the blog Atlas Shrugs.

Geller said she believes Bazian is indoctrinating students.

“The very idea that he is surveying ‘people of color’ about my ads is ridiculous and offensive. Jihad terrorism is not a race. The Islamic oppression of women, gays, and non-Muslims is not a race. What has Hatem Bazian ever said or done in defense of the non-Muslim ‘people of color’ who are victimized by Islamic jihadists in Nigeria, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and elsewhere?” Geller said in an email to the Free Beacon.

The US charge d’affaires in Khartoum Joseph D Stafford has informed the Sudanese government that he has resigned from his post after converting to Islam. Apparently an Islamic nation and a free nation are not compatible.

Oh, happy day. Abe Foxman is resigning after more than 50 years at the increasingly damaging ADL. I thought that Foxman was going to go out feet first. And in a way, he is. Lord knows the man is brain dead.

He took a once vital organization and turned it hard left going after fierce proud Jews like me. Foxman’s ADL freely criticized Israel and Joan Rivers (I kid you not), but walked on eggshells with anti-semitic Muslim groups.

Of course, his successor could be worse, but let’s not think about that now. Foxman is gone; perhaps the ADL will finally recognize the Armenian Genocide.

A student enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley, who along with 100 kids in his class is being forced to tweet on “Islamophobia” as a requirement in a course on that subject called “De-Constructing Islamophobia and the History of Otherness.” This “course” is taught by a notorious anti-Semitic, terror-supporting professor, Hatem Bazian.It’s not islamophobia, it’s islamorealism.

What, pray tell, is the difference between “savages” and “those engaged in savage acts”? That is the question to which only the MBTA knows the answer. And I am not so sure that they even they know …. We have just filed a follow-up lawsuit in continuing legal fight against the MBTA for its arbitrary and absurd violation of out First Amendment freedoms.

Tonight’s Saturday Night Cinema feature is an MGM musical, albeit an unusual one, directed by the great George Cukor, and starring Gene Kelly and Cole Porter music. I love an MGM musical and Cukor, Cole and Kelly… need I say more? Les Girls is the Rashomon of MGM musicals. “For its cast of exquisite performers, under George Cukor’s fine directorial hand, makes feminine ferocity about as charming as anyone could possibly want it to be.”

The Muslim Brotherhood, just another Muslim liberation movement, that’s all, but Robert Spencer and I — we are the real trouble. Well, that’s the world view of the British government. The British people should sleep well at night, knowing that their safety and security are in the hands of those who are so well informed and in touch with reality. What is striking — well, so much of this is ….

Increasingly over the past decade, Al-Qaeda and devout Muslim groups and sympathizers have been aiming their outreach and recruitment efforts at pre-teens, and even much younger children. As part of these efforts, Al-Qaeda sheikhs are reaching out directly to Muslim youth.

Thanks to Obama, Lynne Stewart was released from prison on New Year’s Eve. Like the Lockerbie bomber, she, too, apparently has cancer. Lynne Stewart, the terror lawyer whom the libs love and jihadists adore, was released early after being convicted and sentenced to 10 years back in July of 2010, after her outrageous first sentencing of only 28 months (she should have gotten life for sedition, or better yet, death by hanging)….

The Nazi-like march of Islamic supremacists into influential positions of power in media, politics and academia hit a new low this week. Tarek Fatah received a panicked message from a student enrolled at the University of California Berkeley.

He wrote: “I’ve been told by one of my professors I will be required, as part of my grade, to start a Twitter account and tweet weekly on Islamophobia. I can’t help but feel this is unethical. This is his agenda not mine.”

The professor conducting this exercise was Hatem Bazian as part of a course titled, “Asian American Studies 132AC: Islamophobia”.

Joe Daniels, President and CEO of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, has announced a $24 mandatory admission fee for the 9/11 Memorial.

It’s a museum, not a movie. It’s a memorial, not a theme park.

What do they charge at Gettysburg? Pearl Harbor?

Salaries at the “non-profit” 9/11 Memorial and Museum are obscene. This allegedly non-profit organization is supposed to be a tribute to 9/11 victims. “It was built to tell the story of 9/11 to future generations about the worst day in American history. It was never intended to be a revenue-generating tourist attraction with a prohibitive budget and entrance fee.”

A Saudi cleric has proposed this solution to molestation of young girls: they should be required to wear burqas. Mind you, here is no attempt or criticism of a man being sexually attracted to a baby or young girl. And that is because Muhammad, the “prefect model,” married his favorite wife, Aisha, when she was of the tender age of six.

Sheik Abdulla Daoud suggested that covering the babies in burqas would keep them from being raped.
