Muslim Brotherhood Subversion vs. Jihadist Rage
FrontPage Magazine What do Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri—that is, the late leader of ISIS, and the late and current leaders of al-Qaeda—have in common? That they’re among the world’s most notorious Islamic terrorists? Yes, but there’s something else, something more subtle, that binds them: they all began their careers as […]

Jamie Glazov, of the Glazov Gang, recently interviewed me on an article I wrote, titled “The Jihadist Obsession with Houris, Islam’s Heavenly Whores.” The 20-minute video follows:

Turkey: Arming Genocide of Christians in Nigeria?
Gatestone Institute Concerning Turkey’s increasingly suspect role in supporting jihadis — most recently, ISIS’s slain leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was found hiding in Syria’s “last refuge” for jihadi rebels, just three miles from Turkey’s border — one of the least mentioned is Turkey’s apparent alliance with the “other” ISIS, that in Nigeria, Boko Haram.

Ilhan Omar’s Anti-American, Pro-Islamic Polemic on the Armenian Genocide
Earlier this week the House voted overwhelmingly (405-11) in favor of formally recognizing the Armenian Genocide, which was perpetrated by Ottoman Turks.

The “Most Colossal Crime of All Ages”

On October 29, the US House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly (405 to 11) in favor of Resolution 296, which officially acknowledges the Armenian genocide perpetrated by Ottoman Turks during WW1.

A Dead Caliph vs the Eternal Jihad
FrontPage Magazine Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (above), the head or “caliph” of the Islamic State, is finally dead.
