I don’t believe Obama is a believing Muslim, just the way I don’t believe he is a believing Christian. I think he has two religions: Socialism and self-worship. Nevertheless, I do think that many in the Muslim world are pretty darn certain that, when Obama lived as a child in Indonesia, he was a practicing [...]

Winston Churchill wrote the following in a book published in 1899 about the Sudan. It is remarkably prophetic (emphasis mine):
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are [...]

One of the lesser known, but very dangerous fronts, in the jihad war against the west is the Islamists’ habit of using our own Western laws against us. Right now, a front in that particular battle is being waged in Canada, where McMaster University is suing Dr. Paul Williams after he wrote about the peculiar [...]

The New York Times reports that, according to a Senate report, some American ex-prisoners who converted to Islam are heading to (or have already arrived in Yemen) to be part of terrorist forces against the U.S.:
Some American former convicts who converted to Islam in prison have moved to Yemen and a few may have joined [...]

I’ve been harping for years now about the fact that Obama’s emotional connection isn’t to America, but to something else. I’ve thought it was to Leftism. Rabbi Spero makes the very good argument that Barack Hussein Obama’s emotional affiliation is to Islam. He doesn’t say that Obama is a religious Muslim. He just notes that [...]

One of the defining features of Islam is its obsession with sex. Every rule regarding women is based upon a driving need to control their sexuality. They are married off as children, sequestered, dressed in clothes that rob them of any hint of femininity, deprived of any opportunities to function outside the reproductive sphere, and [...]

Michael Yon, Joan Rivers and a little boy clutching the Play-Doh his grandparents gave him. That looks like a peculiarly disparate list of people but, in fact, all three people are bound together by one thing: the TSA Department of Homeland Security.
As you already know, on Monday, the TSA Customs detained and handcuffed Michael Yon [...]

I got a letter from a good friend who not only linked me to this worth-reading Uncle Jimbo post, but who also added “Has anyone noticed that all of the airplane incidents since 9/11 have been perpetrated by muslims?” Since I live with a liberal, and I know the score, my response to him was [...]

For my birthday, my husband gave me an Amazon Kindle. It’s a sensible gift for me, since I read voraciously and often find myself waiting around in various places because of carpools. Since the Kindle fits in my purse, I always have something to read.
The only problem with the Kindle is the expense. Hardback books [...]

I’ve come to the conclusion that there are two types of control freaks in this world: those who prize self-control and those who try to control others. I fall in the former category. I often fall short of the mark, but I consider myself a self-improvement work in progress. I may drive myself crazy, but [...]

I’ve been saying for some years that the biggest mistake the Islamists made was impatience. Demographically, between their fecundity and the sterility of Western culture, Muslims were headed towards societal tipping points all over Europe within a couple of decades. Had they set tight, they could have completed what they started in the Middle Ages [...]

This is an important story that’s getting almost no play in the American press: the Indian government believes that an American Muslim who was arrested in connection with a plan to attack the Jyllands-Posten paper, was not only behind the horrific Mumbai massacre, but was also plotting attacks against Indian nuclear power plants. The Jawa [...]

In a field rich with excellent conservative writers, I always think Mark Steyn is the best. The joyful days, though, are the days when he outdoes even himself. In this week’s column about the fluffy multiculturalism that reared its head both before and after Hasan’s deadly terrorist attack at Fort Hood, Steyn outdoes himself. Here [...]

I’ve now received five emails bringing to my attention a post at Hillbuzz, a blog that (as best as I can tell) is written by two gay Hillary supporters. (And thanks to all of you who did bring it to my attention.) What makes the post at Hillbuzz so unusual is that it’s a frank [...]

American Thinker is a site I check regularly, at least twice a day. It’s not just that the editors are kind enough to publish my work occasionally. It’s because the articles that appear there routinely range from really good to out-of-the-park stupendous.
Today, there are two that fall in the latter category. These are the kinds [...]

I don’t think the media has ever before been so blatant in its desire to divorce an evil act from its ideological origins, but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen that game played out. More than two years ago, a short lived comedy show on Fox used the occasion of an abortive bombing in [...]

My liberal friend is a headline reader. That’s why we had a ridiculous conversation in which he wondered about the Fort Hood shooter’s motives. To the reader who scans, headlines that say “motives a mystery” trump even those articles that add, under the headline, little facts such as Muslim death cries (”Allahu Akbar!”), radical mosques, [...]

Insane people reflect the obsessions of their times. In the old days, insane people heard messages from the Devil. In the post-nuclear age, they were in contact with Martians. And nowadays, if their Muslim, Islam gives the impetus to their urges. Indeed, Islam is an all-purpose blank check for bad behavior. As my cousin, the [...]

It’s very simple, according to some British Muslims. You can be a soldier in your nation’s military as long as your military isn’t fighting against Muslims. However, if your military is fighting against Muslims, your military has become the enemy, and you should use your resources and abilities to kill your fellow troops. Have you [...]

Do I think all American Muslims are terrorists? No. Do I think the American military should bar Muslims? No. Do I think the American military should stop actively recruiting them and providing them with radical Imams? Oh, yes (emphasis mine).
The Fort Hood terrorist is being portrayed as an “anomaly,” an “aberration,” a “lone wolf.” Sadly, [...]

The following video purports to prove that Obama is a Muslim.
I actually think the video does not make its case. Here’s why:
I believe Obama fears Islam’s wrath, not at a God level, but at a practical level. Muslims can hurt people. He thinks if he makes nice with them (praising them beyond reason, bowing to [...]

Didn’t Obama bow to the king?
A Saudi court on Saturday convicted a female journalist for her involvement in a TV show, in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex, and sentenced her to 60 lashes.
Rozanna al-Yami is believed to be the first Saudi woman journalist to be given such a punishment. The charges against [...]

All of us have been worried that the Obama Administration, working in tandem with a wildly Democratic Congress, wants to clamp down on freedom of speech. Heck, in true Orwellian fashion, the House of Representatives has already taken myriad terms off the table for fear that they might be used against their Fearless (albeit whiny) [...]

We’re getting near the tail-end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month that requires dawn to dusk fasting. Now, I’m a gal who enjoys noshing during the day, so I’m not thrilled about abstaining from food and drink for 10 hours. I’d be especially unhappy if it was a hot day, ’cause any type of drink [...]

There are several distinct targets when Islam is in charge, two of which are women who offend honor concepts and apostates (that is, those who leave Islam for another religion). For both, the punishment is death. We’ve heard a lot about honor killings recently, so I won’t rehash that here, but it might be worth [...]
