I’m “kind of on the side of free speech”? That’s like being “kind of pregnant.”

“But he became religious during his second year and gradually grew more orthodox. Arman was no longer playing soccer, basketball and video games with friends. He was spending more time at the mosque.”

British authorities like to pretend that there is equal terror threat coming from both jihadis and “far-right extremists.”

“Confessions of an Islamophobe is an indispensable guide to how American leftists from Linda Sarsour to Bernie Sanders have joined forces with the Islamic enemies of women, gays, Jews, Christians, and other infidels, in an unholy alliance against America and its freedoms.”

The New York Daily News reported Friday that professional victim and dishonest Islamic apologist Haroon Moghul is set to speak at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in lower Manhattan.

Islam a feminist movement? In reality, the Qur’an taught that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience.”

Yes, after another article defaming us in another Leftist publication, PayPal dropped both the American Freedom Defense Initiative and Jihad Watch. And yes, after a huge outcry, PayPal reinstated both. But that was just a minor setback for the Left-fascists: the Left’s post-Charlottesville all-out assault against the freedom of speech is continuing.

This is Thelonious Monk, a true American original, on piano, playing his incandescent classic “Straight, No Chaser.”

The jihadis will keep killing people because they hold to an ideology that tells them they will receive rewards in this world and the next for doing so.

Another fake study – this time from the UN.

Two news items this week show us once again what the establishment media and almost all political authorities in the free world are determined to deny: jihad terrorism really is all about Islam.

It’s time to begin to keep track of the victims of “Islamophobia.” Not the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes that all too often turn out to have been faked by Muslims themselves, but the real victims of “Islamophobia.”

A few recent news items show how far Islamic blasphemy laws have advanced in the West.

The Catholic Church has come a long way since the days of Pope Callixtus III, who vowed in 1455 to “exalt the true Faith, and to extirpate the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet in the East.”

Led Zeppelin ripped off this song shamelessly in their “Lemon Song,” but — as is so often the case — the original is much better.

If jihad is simply a a word of truth spoken in front of a tyrant, why have thousands upon thousands of Muslims worldwide joined violent jihad groups? Why are there any violent jihad groups at all? Why is this misunderstanding of jihad so widespread?

Much of the hysteria about “Islamophobia” in the U.S. is driven by ignorance: not, as is commonly claimed, the ignorance of racist, redneck yahoos about the true, peaceful nature of Islam, but the ignorance of well-meaning non-Muslims about the violent and supremacist aspects of Islam.

Ellison was, as will come as a surprise to no one familiar with his career, lying.

Not much has been heard from the imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the former public face of the Ground Zero mosque initiative, since Pamela Geller and her team of patriots defeated that project.

This is what the British police are concerned about in the wake of the jihad massacres in Manchester and London: bacon.

Theresa May said it herself after the London jihad attacks. “It is time,” she declared, “to say enough is enough.” Great idea, Prime Minister. Enough is enough: it’s time for you to do the decent thing and resign.

“The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah.”

Linda Sarsour is a pro-Sharia Jew-hater; that means the New York Times loves her.

Once every foe of jihad terror is demonized and silenced, who will be left to speak out in resistance?

Mohammed Shafiq is the Chief Executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, which claims to be dedicated to combating “extremism.” In this interview with Sky News presenter Dermot Murnaghan after the Manchester jihad massacre, he does his best to equate jihad terrorist killers with the forces who oppose them (which he smears as “far right”), dissembles about Islamic teaching, and blames the Manchester attack on the British government’s foreign policy.

Do Linda Sarsour’s feminist friends and allies simply take everything they say at face value?

At the end of this disgraceful but all too typical Huffington Post article, John Guandolo says that the information he provides “can’t be debunked with facts, only by name calling.” Christopher Mathias proves that abundantly in this hit piece.

Here we go again. If President Trump’s National Security Adviser, H. R. McMaster, wields influence over the President, and if his characterization of the President’s upcoming trip to the Middle East is to be believed, Trump is now set to repeat all the mistakes that his last two predecessors made in dealing with the global jihad threat.

“The far right thrives on global networks. They must be fought online and off,” writes Julia Ebner in the Guardian. By “far right” she means, of course, Pamela Geller and me.

Apparently she intends to argue that female genital mutilation (contrary to constantly repeated establishment media myth) is justified in Islam, and that therefore Dr. Attar was just exercising his freedom of religion.

Now it’s “Islamophobic” to notice that a jihad killer screamed “Allahu akbar” after committing mass murder.

What is it about converts to Islam? Why do so many of them get the idea that their new religion commands them to commit treason and mass murder?

The Huffington Post must be getting nervous that too many people are discovering the truth about what Islamic texts really say.

If Anne Aly succeeds, the jihad can advance in Australia, and no one would be able to say a word in opposition to it.

An ongoing controversy in Canada shows the perils of assuming, as nearly everyone does, that mosques in the West teach peace and tolerance, and that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are moderate and loyal members of secular societies.

I have never met Donald Trump, and probably never will, but I have known him all my life.

As a movement today the Left is frankly authoritarian, intolerant of dissent, and increasingly intent on demonizing and destroying its opponents, rather than engaging them in rational debate.

These are difficult times — as Tom Paine would say, times that try men’s souls, with forces vying for the very soul of the nation.

Hate crime is a booming business in America today: both Leftists and their Muslim allies are making as much of use of hate crimes as they possibly can in order to discredit President Trump and his supporters, as well as foes of jihad terror and Sharia oppression, as racist, redneck, violent yahoos who deserve no place in the public square.

We can only hope that with the departure of these failed State Department officials, their failed policies will be swept out along with them.

Our long national nightmare didn’t end on January 20.

On January 6 at St. Mary’s Cathedral, the Scottish Episcopal Church’s cathedral in Glasgow, a passage of the Qur’an was read out denying that Jesus is the Son of God, a core tenet of Christianity.

The Mirror reported Sunday that the Muslim who “gunned down 39 people and injured 69 with a machine gun in an Istanbul nightclub ‘screamed Allahu Akbar’ during massacre.”

Christmas takes place today amid heightened security all over Europe and North America. And this year’s tense and nervous Christmas is just the beginning: get used to it, because Christmas is going to be like this for many years to come.

The establishment media has been running a series of stories since the election with the not-so-hidden subtext that Trump’s policies regarding Muslims will only make the global jihad worse.

The Daily Caller reported Thursday that “the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) considers the Orlando nightclub shooting, an ISIS-inspired attack that left 49 dead, a right-wing plot, along with the shootings of police officers by anti-white terrorists.”

This latest jihad attack on American soil vindicates President-elect Trump on Muslim immigration.

Fidel Castro is finally dead, and the old despot has left us with a parting gift: another demonstration of just how out of touch the American Left really is.

The “Hamilton” fiasco, with self-righteous Leftist cast members of the hit Broadway show berating Vice President-elect Mike Pence from the stage, brought to mind another New York event from 44 years ago, when entertainers – at least some of them – had a vastly different idea of their place in American culture.
