Why Do We Keep Bowing Down To Islam?

The following is a statement released by General David Petraeus and and NATO Ambassador Mark Sedwill: KABUL, Afghanistan (April 3, 2011) – In view of the events of recent days, we feel it is important on behalf of ISAF [i.e., the International Security Assistance Force] and NATO members in Afghanistan to reiterate our condemnation of any [...]

Defining and Defeating the Global Jihad, Islamism

As Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad (above) was being sentenced to life in prison, he told the judge defiantly: “We do not accept your democracy or your freedom because we already have shariah law and freedom.” This notion of already possessing shariah law and freedom, rather than fighting to attain those things, offers the West a [...]

Obama Can Absorb Defeat

The United States Congress should move swiftly to censure President Obama for his remarks that, “We (the United States) can absorb a terrorist attack…” And most assuredly the American people should vote him out of office in two years. For a sitting president to declare to our enemies that it is, in effect, okay to attack [...]

OIC: ‘It’s Slander When We Say it’s Slander’ (Part 2)

[Editor's Note:  The author of this post has requested anonymity.]  Read part I here.

Will Obama Enforce Shariah Blasphemy Laws?

At his White House press conference Friday, President Obama once again endorsed the placement of a triumphalist mosque in immediate proximity to Ground Zero, declaring it the “inalienable right” of the increasingly transparently immoderate imam determined to build it there. Troubling as this evidence is of Mr. Obama’s submission to shariah – the supremacist political-military-legal [...]

Stoning: A Nightmare

Stonings at Ground Zero — that’ll be the day, right? The concept has no manifestation beyond the cold sweat of a dark-hours nightmare. Still, there’s something worth gleaning from the not-so-free association process that inspired it. It clicked when I read a riveting investigation by Christine Brim here at [...]

WaPo: WikiLeaks Undermined the Afghan Surge

  Marc Thiessen writes in his Washington Post column: “WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has made clear that his objective in releasing tens of thousands of classified documents was to ‘end the war in Afghanistan’ and ‘oppose an unjust [war] plan before it reaches implementation.’ He may well achieve his goal. Assange’s illegal disclosures are helping the Taliban [...]

Eyeless in A-stan

“Live our values,” Gen. David Petraeus wrote recently to troops in Afghanistan. “This is what distinguishes us from our enemies.” Unfortunately, this is also what distinguishes us from many of our “friends.” This culture-chasm is what makes the infidel struggle for hearts and minds across Islamic lands so recklessly, wastefully futile, something I was once again [...]

Wiki-leaks: Enemies of the State

What do we make of the Wiki-leaks and the Washington Post series on the growth of the “Classified Industry”? First, the big news on the wiki-leaks is that our journalistic embed program is working very well precisely because the Wiki-leaks produced no big news. Of course the ISI is helping the Taliban and certainly our top [...]
