“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of
those who could have acted;  the indifference
of those who should have known better; the
silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most;
 that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”
~ Haile Selassie ~

A Beheading Ends All Illusions About Islam
No matter how many times the Syrian Jihadists show their true face, there will still be calls to arm them. No matter how many times ISIS, Hamas and all their cousins around the world quote the Koran and declare their global aims, they will be dismissed as JV teams that have nothing to do with Islam. The price of Islam denial is death. It shouldn’t take a beheading for our elites to lose their illusions, but we have become the United States of James Foley. We don’t learn the truth until we lose our heads.
Just a Bit More Beheading than We Are Used To by Douglas Murray
Did anyone really still think that a British Islamist would not be capable of doing this? Why wouldn't he do it in Iraq or Syria if his allies had already done it in London? After all, it was only last year that two other Islamists beheaded one of our own soldiers – Drummer Lee Rigby – in broad daylight in London. And it is only twelve years since another Londoner – Omar Sheikh – arranged the abduction and decapitation of another American journalist, Daniel Pearl. Atrocity after atrocity is perpetrated by Muslims radicalized in the UK, and the debate over what to do about it remains bizarrely circumscribed and ineffectual. Surely somewhere in the conversation and response should be the expression of a desire for a strategy against ISIS which has at its base the utter eradication of the group -- wholesale battlefield victory against them, killing their members and leadership in their entirety. Would that not be a desirable objective? I have yet to hear a mainstream politician suggest this or even talk in these terms.
Understanding the ISIS threat
ISIS did not mysteriously or unexpectedly originate from vaporous pockets of Islamic terrorists in an area that is referred to as the Levant, or the geographical region roughly bounded by southern Turkey to the north, Egypt to the south, the Mediterranean to the west and Iraq to the East. No, ISIS was created through an intentional process of deliberate default by the U.S. and Western powers—including Israel, working in conjunction if not on behalf of the Saudis, Kuwait and Qatar. This unconventional alliance will be addressed later, but for now, it must be identified to understand the truly dangerous and evil confederation of complicity.
A Global Epiphany on ISIS
It is heartening that Middle Eastern, as well as Western, countries have realized the danger to their countries, have condemned the atrocities, and are preparing to react to them.  Countries not always friendly to each other or to the West are beginning to line up.  They now recognize that the mujahedeen fighters in Afghanistan, the jihadists in Algeria and Iraq, the Muslim Brotherhood, Boko Haram in Nigeria, and Hamas in the Gaza Strip all have the same disregard for human life and are characterized by inhumane zealotry.

Calling ISIS What It Is – Evil
Since 9/11 (and even before), the news media, academia, politicians, and even our own military establishment have done their best to deflect understanding and judgment of Islam and to explain away the evil done in its name as everything but Islamic. Islam is peace, they say. Jihad isn’t holy war, its inner struggle. Terrorism is blowback for our own oil-grubbing imperialism. The Ft. Hood massacre was workplace violence. Al Qaeda has hijacked and perverted Islam. Hamas are freedom fighters pushing back against Israeli occupation. ISIS is just an insurgent group seeking political legitimacy. And so on. We will only begin to win this forever war when we remove these politically correct obstacles to understanding the enemy, and embrace the moral clarity to identify evil and eradicate it.
Self-Defense is a Religious Obligation

“Children are being beheaded, mothers are being raped and killed, and fathers are being hung and crucified. Entire Christian and non-Muslim communities are being decimated by the radical Muslim group, ISIS.” These are the words from reporters out of Iraq. What is our obligation to those under fire from Islamic terrorists? Prayer is good, but not enough. Words of support are welcome, but not enough. What can one do when terrorists are not moved by our prayers or words of support for the hunted? Our religious obligation is to fight.  
   

Dangerous Times: ISIS: The End of Denial
I believe that the explosion of ISIS photos is finally putting an end to decades of massive Western denial of Islamist horrors.  For thirty years, the West has been in denial, ever since Jimmy Carter surrendered to Ayatollah Khomeini in the mass kidnapping of our embassy personnel in 1979.  Since then the OPEC cartel has simply bought up Western politicians and media owners, until the average American can no longer think straight about the clear and present threat of jihad war.

If 'Evil' Doesn't Apply to Islamic State, What Does?

Sanitizing the language only works so long as people aren't paying too much attention. That's why the Islamic State is so inconvenient to those who hate the word "evil." Last week, after the group released a video showing American journalist James Foley getting his head cut off, the administration's rhetoric changed dramatically. The president called the Islamic State a "cancer" that had to be eradicated. Secretary of State John Kerry referred to it as the "face of ... evil."


Hundreds of women from the Turkish PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ party) have crossed into Iraq to help push the IS fighters out of the north of Iraq. "Recruitment is boosted by the deployment of women soldiers on the front line, often in all-female units.

"The jihadists don't like fighting women, because if they're killed by a female, they think they won't go to heaven," said one female fighter.

"They are striking fear into the hearts of the Jihadist thugs who believe if they are killed by a woman in battle they will not reach heaven," writes the WSJ.


A Who's Who of the Good Guys and Bad Guys in the New Jihad

Wars are never simple. With the incredible success of the terrorist group ISIS, now called the Islamic State, and the recent news that Egypt and UAE have engaged in air strikes against the jihadists in Syria, Breitbart News has decided to cut away some of the fog of war and explain who stands where in this latest Holy War for the future of the Middle East and North Africa.


ISIL Sends 'A Message to America'
Until a competent and coherent national security strategy and policy against the radical ideology of Islam – be it ISIL, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah – is formulated, we will continue to face the wrath of Islamic terror.  If this state of affairs is allowed to continue, we may well be the ones defeated.

Obama's Hypocrisy on Hamas, ISIS, and Iran

Islamist groups like ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and Iran-backed Hamas and Hezbollah, all seek the destruction of Western values and civilization. The pursuit of nukes by the Islamist state of Iran – which could eventually enable nuclear terrorism by Iran's jihadi proxies – poses the greatest threat of all. The West ignores these facts at its peril, and should therefore support Israel's war against Hamas, and its efforts against Iranian nukes, just as the U.S. has rightly (albeit tardily and minimally) supported the Kurds in their fight against ISIS.
World turned upside-down: Former progressive British author explains how ‘Obama is aiding the enemies of the West’ by Melanie Phillips
Obama is aiding the enemies of the West. I mean he’s aiding Iran. He’s enabled Iran to become this really strong force in the region. He’s aiding people like Qatar and Turkey. He is aiding the Muslim Brotherhood. He’s trying to punish General Sisi…General Sisi is intent on stopping the Muslim Brotherhood, and he probably alone in the region can stop the Brotherhood; he can stop them in Egypt, and he should be given every assistance by us [the West] because the Brotherhood are a mortal threat to us. Egypt is not a mortal threat to us. Instead Obama is taking the side of the [Muslim] Brothers.
The Un-Islamic Delusion of Smart Diplomacy
Exonerating Islam from the butchery and atrocities committed in its name will somehow lessen the butchery? Teaching ignorant Westerners of the wonders of Islam will mollify Islamic supremacism? Purging the phrase “Islamic terrorists” from government manuals will banish terrorism in the name of Islam? Inventing phrases like “manmade disasters” for terrorist bombings will bring an end to bombings by Islamic terrorists? The idea that convincing us folks that “Islam has nothing to do with it” by word magic and bowdlerizing Islamic history and holy texts is a key to defusing Islamic animus towards the West, as if something has thereby been accomplished, is a serious delusion
Islamic terrorism -- terrorism in the name of Islam -- is the problem. And as long as the president thinks that reciting the mantra that terrorism is un-Islamic is a crucial component to dealing with Islamic terrorism, the president is one of Islam’s useful idiots.

The Islamic Terror Orchestra
It has been 13 years since 9/11 and the West is still reluctant to link the non-ending parade of jihad groups with Islam. What everyone misses here is the right of the American people to know the full truth about their new enemy directly and honestly from their politicians and media. By caring about the feelings of Muslims more than American citizens’ right to the truth, and without naming Islam by name, the US government and media will usher America into a dark phase marking the beginning of tyranny and the end of liberty.
Solution for ISIS: Obliterate Them

We have seen this happen before, over and over again. We try to make nice with savages and they play upon our goodwill. We end up having to fight a larger war.  Obliteration is the only solution for ISIS. They are evil incarnate. The sooner they feel the full force of the world led by the American people and our military, the sooner we can move to a peaceful solution and an eventual victory over radical Islamic terror that wants to control the world.

Hamas is a Danger to World Peace
The danger of Hamas is increasing. It is more sophisticated militarily than previously believed, as shown by the large number of tunnels it built since it has been the occupier and controlling government of the Gaza Strip. It should be the policy of the U.S. Administration and of the democratic countries of the world to react to the Islamist ruthlessness of Hamas and its refusal to stop the onslaught against Israel. Two other things are relevant. In the continuing turmoil of the Arab world, one thing is clear, the fact that the country of Qatar is the main sponsor of Islamist terrorism in the world.


1,400 Child Victims of Muslim Rape Gangs Discovered in Rotherham, UK
A horrifying news report in The Telegraph has confirmed that 1,400 children were discovered as victims of Muslim rape gangs and prostitution rings in Rotherham, UK, while authorities and child protection services turned a blind eye in order to avoid being called “racist.” 
On this occasion, Frontpage is re-running The Glazov Gang’s special 2-part series with Gavin Boby of the Law and Freedom Foundation, on this horrifying reality of Muslim rape gangs in the UK and how the Left is facilitating their vicious and barbaric crimes against helpless young girls. The series crystallizes why the horrible details emerging about the discovered 1,400 children victims in Rotherham was a Muslim crime the Left allowed to occur.
UK Police Arrested Parents Trying to Stop Muslims from Raping their Children
We’re still only seeing the tip of the iceberg in the horrifying crimes committed by Muslim settlers against the children of the UK. For at least 16-years gangs of mainly Asian (Muslim) men were able to target, groom and abuse girls as young as 11, with little to fear from the authorities.“No one knows the true scale of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham over the years. Our conservative estimate is that approximately 1,400 children were sexually exploited over the full inquiry period, from 1997 to 2013. Victims were gang raped, while others were groomed and trafficked across northern England. What we do know is that the authorities were complicit in it.
The town rejected the Islamic center on zoning grounds, but at a meeting, some opponents of the project “made disparaging remarks about the Muslim faith.” Time to call in the Thought Police! Time for Obama’s feds to force the mosque on this city! It is impossible to have a mature discussion about mosques in the U.S. It is impossible to point out that 80% of mosques in the U.S. are Saudi-funded, and that four separate, independent studies since 1998 have found that 80% also teach hatred of Jews and Christians and the supremacy of Sharia over Constitutional law. Anyone who points out such things is immediately accused of “racism,” “bigotry,” “hatred” and “Islamophobia.”
Council on American–Islamic Relations: Its Use of Lawfare and Intimidation
There are a lot of things that the average citizen can do to help defeat CAIR and its agenda.  Educate yourselves on the issues and try to raise the awareness of your friends, neighbors and family members. If you can only forward one article a week to people you know, it’s a start. Above all, make sure you don’t become complacent. America was originally an experiment in freedom. It ought not to be taken for granted. If you want to pass on the freedoms you enjoy to future generations, become active. You must be vigilant to keep America free.
CAIR: Anti-Constitutional, Anti-Israel, and Anti-Semitic Hate Group

The purpose of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is to promote donations to genuine charitable, educational, religious, and humanitarian activities that benefit our society. “If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land,” said Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch. It is difficult to see how a seditious statement of this nature is consistent with any kind of charitable, educational, humanitarian, or legitimate religious mission.  Advocacy of the overthrow of the Constitution's Bill of Rights makes matters even worse.


Declare War on Shariah
Nearly thirteen years after 9/11, it is past time to recognize that we are at war not with one group of “terrorists” or another. Rather, adherents to a doctrine or ideology they call shariah are at war with us. Shariah is, at its core, about power, not faith. While some small percentage (some estimates suggest ten-percent) of its dictates prescribe the religious practices, the rest of it defines comprehensively how every relationship must be ordered – between individuals, families, neighbors, business associates, all the way up to how the world is governed.
Most importantly, shariah obliges its followers to engage in jihad (or holy war). Don’t be misled by those who argue jihad means “personal struggle.” The Koran makes clear that jihad is “holy war.” And for shariah-adherent Islamists that war has two goals: the triumph of shariah worldwide and the establishment of what is, for want of a better term, a theocratic government to rule the entire planet according to that doctrine.

Hillary Clinton's Foreign Policy Failures
While shrinking from geopolitical rivals in Russia and China is a severe error, Clinton and Obama’s most lasting legacy may be the slaughter in the Middle-East.  Clinton was Secretary of State when the U.S. pulled all troops out of Iraq, the first inexplicable and obvious mistake that opened the door for the Islamic State. IS began as an insurgent group in Iraq, a former al-Qaeda affiliate supposedly ostracized for being too extreme.  Once U.S. troops left Iraq in 2011, IS expanded rapidly. 
Allowing IS’s rise and the resultant carnage in Iraq and Northern Syria does not even touch on the horrors of the Syrian civil war itself.  Hundreds of thousands have been killed.  Millions displaced across borders to Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and even Iraq threaten to further destabilize those countries.  Assad has targeted civilian populations, used chemical weapons, and systematically raped, tortured and murdered.  Despite intermittent reports that the U.S. would arm rebels, the U.S. still has done nothing of substance to bring Assad down.

Canadians in terrorist armies threaten us all
Earlier this summer, the terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) released a chilling recruitment video calling on young people in the West to leave their families and come to the Middle East to train for what it calls holy war. It featured a Canadian who had embraced a violent ideology, travelled to Syria, and was killed there in a firefight last year.
Courting the Extremist Vote
Justin Trudeau doesn’t campaign a lot in churches these days. Not since he announced his ban on Liberal candidates who are pro-life Christians.Trudeau doesn’t spend much time in Jewish synagogues either, other than the occasional fundraiser. But he always makes time to visit a mosque during his travels. It’s his central ethnic outreach strategy.
Justin Trudeau’s aversion to the word ‘barbaric’
Although those on the far left are known for their moral equivalence, unlike politicians who are unable to make clear and unequivocal statements, the “hair apparent,” said exactly what he meant. Practices such as female genital mutilation and honour killings should not be criticized even when the victims are Canadian citizens. People who commit these heinous acts (sorry, Justin), should be sympathized with because they are carrying out their own culture which is no worse than the culture of Canada or the civilized West. Mutilate away.
The boy wonder was shocked his comments created an uproar. He has no appreciation of the views of most Canadians who abhor these practices and believe, rightfully so, they have no place in Canada. The simple fact that Trudeau spends a lot of time in mosques, pandering to Muslims including radical Islamists in order to get votes cannot excuse his extreme un-Canadian views.
Suicide Bombers in Canada? By David Harris
Our Islamist ranks are hugely reinforced by almost unparalleled, politically motivated – and economically unjustifiable – mass immigration from terror-producing countries where we have no meaningful capacity to do background checks. And the “homegrown” element may have helped Calgary alone contribute about two dozen to foreign jihad. Dozens more Somali-Canadian youth are estimated to have joined al-Shabaab terrorists, the group that destroyed a Kenyan shopping mall. Tellingly, this number outstrips per capita the size of the U.S. cadre that’s gone to jihad in Somalia and environs.
Muslim Female Police Officers Being Permitted to Wear Burkas or Niqabs


This has been quietly passed by the Toronto Police Services Board.

Multiculturalism — The Final Solution
Finally, the mainstream media are beginning to acknowledge the poisonous fruits of multiculturalism. For years journalists have been afraid to speak the truth about what is happening in Britain, just as the council workers in Rotherham who were responsible for child welfare were afraid to speak the truth. And what is the truth they have been so afraid to give voice to? Multiculturalism is a failure, both as a political theory and as a matter of fact.
Most Preposterous Story of the Week:
The Punitive Bureaucracy's Day Off by Mark Steyn 

I wrote two weeks ago about two New Hampshire teenagers having their bagpipes seized at the northern border by US Customs & Border Protection. This would be the same "border" "protection" agency that has turned the southern border into an express welfare check-in for any of the world's seven billion people minded to show up there.
