From The American Spectator, if you read one thing today, read "Jihad Blows Up the Liberal Utopia." Jihad has blown up The Liberal Utopia. The visionary liberal land of political and social perfection. President Obama is not happy — and he isn’t alone. You know the place. The Liberal Utopia is a land where gun background [...]

Two excellent dissections about the inability of many to come to grips with the reality of Islamism in our society. First, Victor Davis Hansen: "The Paradoxes of the Boston Bombings": A certain American (or for that matter Westernized) resident or citizen — usually male, almost always young, born a Muslim, prone to guilt over temporary [...]

Read this book: These folks have been fighting the Soviets and Russians for generations. Very, very dangerous. You do not fuck around with these guys. P.S., This book was published in 2007. P.P.S., Bodansky was one of the analysts who very presciently wrote about bin Laden's intentions towards the United States well before the horrible [...]

Twenty years ago today, I happened to be in New York City on the last day of a consulting gig with a large international bank. As I left the offices of the bank to walk to my hotel to checkout, I decided to stop for a bite to eat on the way to LaGuardia for [...]

Panetta says cyber attackers accessed controls for critical US infrastructure: In a blunt admission designed to prod action, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta Thursday night told business executives there has been a sudden escalation of cyber terrorism and that attackers have managed to gain access to control systems for critical infrastructure. In a speech in New [...]

South African television and radio journalist, and war correspondent, Lara Logan, has blown the lid off the official position on the war against radical Islam, and the campaign in Afghanistan. "We think we've won the campaign when they haven't begun to fight." Former ambassador Ryan Crocker.

Superb essay: "The Anti-Blasphemy, Anti-First-Amendment President." Who said the following: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” Iran’s Ahmadinejad? Egypt’s Morsi? Some little-known, fatwa-flinging cleric increasing the bounty on Salman Rushdie’s head? None of the above. The words are President Obama’s, and he spoke them this week to the [...]

Jim Geraghty ponders a sentence from Obama's UNGA speech that, quite frankly, has vexed me as well since hearing it live a couple days ago. Let's look at it in Obama context, shall we? And as we have seen again and again, Obama context is always much worse than the 'out-of-context'... "The future must not [...]

The camel's body appears to be following its nose under the tent. An October surprise? Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood has given King Abdullah II notice that he has until October to bow to their demand to transform the Hashemite Kingdom into a constitutional monarchy or face Arab Spring street pressure for his abdication. Debkafile’s Middle East [...]

Nobody says it better, or more frankly than Pat Condell. More from Roger Kimball at PJM... It’s often observed that Islam is an iconoclastic religion: they don’t like images of many things, especially of the prophet-in-chief, Ab? al-Q?sim Mu?ammad ibn ?Abd All?h ibn ?Abd al-Mu??alib ibn H?shim, i.e., Muhammad. We know this from, Oh, many [...]

Bravo Senator Rubio. What a great patriot and leader.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – September 12, 2012 House Foreign Affairs Committee; Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Chairman:

Rep. Andre Carson (D-Indiana) is one of two Muslims currently serving in the U.S. Congress. Can you imagine the MSM if a Christian (of any denomination) or Jewish Congressman made such a declaration for America's schools? But Congressman Andre Carson appears to be walking it back now that it's out there... Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., [...]

On Friday Iran will quite possibly execute a Christian Pastor who converted to Christianity from Islam. On at least three occasions Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani was given the chance to "repent" ... Unlike the Apostle Peter, Nadarkhani has NOT denied Our Lord. Should Iran carry through with his execution the man will be a true [...]

The Palestinians are all pumped-up to meet the U.N. head-on and declare a Palestinian state for themselves. So who does the Palestinian Authority choose to send to the U.N. to speak out for a recognized state? The "mother of seven prisoners and of the Shahid (Martyr) Abd Al-Mun'im Abu Hmeid." Four of those sons are [...]
