Denying radical Islam: Deadly for Brussels

"Radical Islam, then, is at war with all forms of non-radical Islam (including differing forms of radical Islam), which is why Muslims kill more Muslims than any other group of people, with Shiites murdering Sunnis and vice versa, among other factional wars. And radical Islam is at war with all non-Muslims. . . "

World Net Daily   "To a Muslim terrorist, unbelievers are unbelievers, be they children, women, or men, and killing them is doing Allah’s work.

"That’s why Muslim terrorists could carry out their horrific acts in Brussels this week, indiscriminately murdering and maiming people who, in all likelihood, never lifted a finger against a Muslim in their entire lives.

"It didn’t matter. To the radical Muslim, they are guilty and deserve to die.

"But before I explain this murderous mentality, it’s important that we say a word about terminology.

"I am constantly criticized for the use of the term “radical Islam,” some claiming that radical Islam is not Islam at all and others claiming that all Islam is radical.

"In my judgment, both criticisms are wrong.

"On the one hand, radical Islam represents a genuine stream of Islam. It can be traced back to Muhammad himself and to centuries of Islamic history and mountains of Islamic texts, and so it is completely justifiable to use the term “radical Islam,” and it is false to make the blanket statement that “Islam is a religion of peace.”

"As for Islam being a “religion of peace,” was it a religion of peace during Muhammad’s warring years, which marked the culmination of his career? Was it a religion of peace during its expansionist conquests of Jerusalem, Egypt, Damascus, Cyprus, Armenia, Andalusia, Granada (Spain), all within a century of Muhammad’s death?" . . .

Hashtag: We are Neville Chamberlain!

Ann Coulter   "Immigration is the new "No Nukes/Save the Whales" movement, only with more body bags. 

"After the mass murder committed by Muslims in San Bernardino, which came on the heels of the mass murder committed by Muslims in Paris, Donald Trump proposed a moratorium on Muslim immigration. 

"Explaining the idea on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," he talked about how Muslim immigration was infecting Europe: "Look at what happened in Paris, the horrible carnage. ... We have places in London and other places that are so radicalized that the police are afraid for their own lives. We have to be very smart and very vigilant." 

"Trump's reference to London's no-go zones was met with a massive round of sneering, which is what passes for argument in America these days. Jeb! said Trump was "unhinged," Sen. John McCain called him "foolish," and former vice president Dick Cheney said Trump's remarks went "against everything we stand for and believe in." (Based on Trump's crushing primary victories, Cheney is no longer qualified to say what "we" believe in.) 

"To prove Trump wrong, reporters called British authorities and asked them: Are you doing your jobs? They responded, Why, yes we are! The head of London's police said, "Mr. Trump could not be more wrong," and London mayor Boris Johnson called Trump's comments "utter nonsense." 

"Within days, however, scores of rank-and-file London policemen begged to differ with their spokesmen, leading to the following headlines: " . . .

'Trump's not wrong – we can't wear uniform in our OWN cars': Five police officers claim Donald Trump is RIGHT about parts of London being so 'radicalised' they are no-go areas   . . . "But one serving officer in west London said: 'Islamification has and is occurring', adding: 'You have to have extra vigilance in certain parts when you are working'.

. . . 

"A Lancashire Police officer, who wished to remain anonymous, told MailOnline: 'There are Muslim areas of Preston that, if we wish to patrol, we have to contact local Muslim community leaders to get their permission'. 

. . . 

"He added: 'In this instance he (Trump) isn't wrong. Our political leaders are best either ill-informed or simply being disingenuous.

" 'He's pointed out something that is plainly obvious, something which I think we aren't as a nation willing to own up to - do you think a US Police Department would ban officers from wearing their uniforms under jackets etc due to FEAR of their cops being killed by extremists?

. . . 

"One female officer in the Met said if a police officer was attacked it would be written off.

"She said: 'Even if one of us did get killed or dragged off in a van. It would just be reported as a 'one-off incident' and no reason to change the 'British style of policing.'"

Liberalism kills.  

Obama's feckless defense of human rights in Cuba

Hat tip to Greg Hogan; Denver, CO

WND    . . . "Castro was asked about Cuba’s political prisoners by CNN’s Jim Acosta during a joint news conference with President Obama. Castro’s response raised belligerent sarcasm to an art form:

“ 'What political prisoners? Give me a name or names, or when, after this meeting is over, you can give me a list of political prisoners and if we have those political prisoners, they will be released before tonight ends.”

"Obama stood mute. It would have sent a powerful message to Castro if the president had ticked off a list of Cuba’s remaining political prisoners by name – such as Carlos Manuel Figueroa Alvarez – and demanded that they be released. But sending powerful messages to dictators is not one of Obama’s talents." . . .

Stop Whining About Islamophobia And Start Focusing On Islamic Jihadis

Stop apologizing to Muslims and start telling them to deal with the fact that millions of Muslims across the world support Islamist terrorism.

The Federalist

. . . "After San Bernardino, Paris, and now Brussels, to name just a few recent cities attacked by the same global terrorist network that shares one religious identity, it’s intellectually dishonest at best and evil-enabling at worst to focus on Islamophobia rather than examine Islamic jihadism for what it is. By Islamophobia, of course, I mean what the Left means when it essentially accuses people of bigotry for expressing valid concerns about radical Islam.

"Concern for perpetrators over victims is a hallmark sign of political correctness gone awry." . . .

Europe’s Fear Of ‘Islamophobia’ Led Directly To The Belgium Attacks   . . . "This latest attack in Brussels would not have been possible without this network of native-born, disaffected Muslims. For that, Europe has no one to blame but itself.

Obama and the Brussels attack

Krauthammer Blasts Obama’s ‘Ideological Holiday Trip in Cuba While the World Burns’  . . . “ 'Obama gave the terror bombing 51 seconds of his speech today in Havana. I thought the whole story of his presidency and its foreign policy was seen in a split screen,” 
. . . 

“ 'But Obama had to go, because its his legacy. This is settling the Cold War arguments of the academic left of Obama’s Columbia University Days, the people who worship the Cuban Revolution, the Sandinistas. Obama had his picture taken in front of a relief of Che Guevara, which sort of stated his world view of his adolescent days and now he does it as president.' ”

Giuliani, General Hayden RIP Obama – If he can’t figure out his strategy isn’t working on ISIS, we need someone else in that job!

Obama relaxes at baseball game in Cuba while Brussels burns  . . . "But even the horrific strike against Brussels would not deter the president from having a good time. He was just too busy making history to take time to acknowledge the fact that western civilization is under assault." . . .


IBD says Obama has checked out. If only it were true  . . . "Not to worry. This is the courageous — or clueless — leader who went golfing when ISIS beheaded American James Foley. The Nobel Peace Prize winner who took his family on a South American jaunt five years ago while launching the disastrous war that created today’s failed state of Libya.

"Who managed to attend not one, but two big-buck Vegas fundraisers before the bodies of the Benghazi Four were cold." . . . 
This president is cold, very cold.

Andrew C. McCarthy writes of the failure of our president and other national leaders to recognize Islam for what it is. He gives an honest look at radical Islam and a hopeful assessment of moderate (yes, moderate) Islamic interpretations. Apparently there some:
 Brussels and Willful Blindness  ". . . this is not a tragedy. It is a war crime targeting a civilian population in the course of an ongoing war. . . "
. . . "It was simply shocking this morning to watch split screens. On one, we saw President Obama spend fleeting seconds on a peremptory acknowledgement of the attacks before moving on to his long, celebratory speech about how he has put the Cold War to rest in Cuba by working with “President Castro.' ” . . . 

'A Void of U.S. Leadership': Gen. Flynn Says Our Anti-Terror Strategy Isn't Working  . . . "He said we need to stop apologizing like we're going after some religion or religious ideology, and deal with the problem in a more mature and comprehensive way.

" 'We have to quit kidding ourselves about what we're facing," Flynn said.

"He explained that the problem is that there is "a void of U.S. leadership" under the Obama administration, and our strategy in the Middle East is piecemeal and uncoordinated." . . .

" 'I think it's time for a new administration.' "

After Brussels Terrorist Attack, Watch Cruz And Trump Say What Obama Can’t   

CRUZ: This is not an isolated incident. This is not a lone wolf. This is a war with radical Islamic terrorism. ISIS declared jihad on Europe and on the United States of America. The first priority of the commander-in-chief should be keeping America safe. And it is long past time that we had a president who will acknowledge this evil, will call it by its name and utilize the full force and fury of the United States to defeat radical Islamic terrorism, to defeat ISIS. . . . 

 TRUMP: I would close up our borders to people until we figure out what is going on. The city is in fear. And we have to be smart in the United States. When people come in, I mean, we’re taking in people without real documentation. We don’t know where they’re coming from. We don’t know where they’re from, who they are. You look at them, look at it from any standpoint. They could be ISIS. They could be ISIS-related. And we just don’t learn, we don’t learn.

Still not as evil as the Republican Congress
