FBI Probes Belgian Terrorist Threat

  As I’ve previously explained, Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs first alerted America to the danger of Belgian extremists, and whenever The Flemish Menace™ makes another terrorist attack, it’s important to give Charles credit. Consider the latest news from Pensacola: The F.B.I. was investigating but did not confirm a report that the Saudi trainee […]

His Name Was Mohammed Alshamrani

  If I had to guess, I’d say he’s probably from Belgium: Four people are dead including the suspect after an active shooting incident at a naval base in Pensacola, Florida, police said. The shooter was identified as Mohammed Alshamrani, a Saudi national [oops, I guessed wrong — RSM] and member of the country’s air […]

‘Austere Religious Scholar’

  In the carnival of #FakeNews self-ownage, the hits just keep coming: The Post’s obituary briefly acknowledges the circumstances of al-Baghdadi’s death before painting, at length, a rather sympathetic portrait of al-Baghdadi’s “canny pragmatism.” This is how the Post describes his background: From his teens, he was fascinated with Islamic history and the intricacies of […]

Report: U.S. Special Operations Raid Kills ISIS Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

  The identification is still tentative: A “high value ISIS target” believed to be Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been killed by U.S.-led forces in Idlib, Syria, a well-placed military source told Fox News on Saturday night. The U.S. military cannot yet confirm the identity of the deceased target. But at 9:23 p.m. Saturday, President Trump […]

Self-Destructive Illusions of ‘Social Justice’

Christine Douglass-Williams reports at Jihad Watch: A stunning finding about American Jews polled in the U.S. on the threat of antisemitism: more Jews believe that the “extreme political right” poses a bigger threat than Islamic “extremism,” according to an American Jewish Committee (AJC) poll: Almost 90 percent of Jews who responded said that the extreme […]

Ilhan Omar Is Divorcing Her Husband (The One Who’s Not Her Brother)

  Democrats are such high-quality people: Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar filed for divorce Friday, just over a month after she denied to a local TV reporter that she was separated. Omar sat for an on-camera interview with WCCO reporter Esme Murphy on Aug. 27, who asked “Are you separated from your husband? Are you […]

Is Your Far-Right Anger Stoked Yet?

  According to the Washington Post, you are a far-right extremist if you think blowing up a church on Easter Sunday is . . . I don’t know, wrong or something. So apparently, it’s now OK to blow up churches, because only extremists would object. The headline here could have been: “Dead Christians? Totally Awesome […]

Radical Muslim Group Suspected in Easter Sunday Bombings in Sri Lanka

  Earlier this month, intelligence agencies reported a radical Islamic group called National Thowheeth Jama’ath was planning attacks in Sri Lanka, and apparently they decided to strike on Easter morning: At least 156 people are dead in an Easter Sunday terrorist attack targeting Christians in Sri Lanka after eight explosions ripped through high-end hotels and […]
