Tariq Ramadan more honest about Benghazi than Obama administration?
Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al-Banna, appeared on Democracy Now just two days after the attacks in Benghazi on 9/11/12. In light of what has been learned about U.S. reaction to that attack since, this is definitely an interesting piece of video, shot three days before U.N. Ambassador […]
Time Magazine’s Joe Klein: Susan Rice’s talking points on Benghazi were ‘accurate’
With the onset of YouTube, we’ve become somewhat desensitized to what used to be considered incredible videos. The bar is raised on a near daily basis now. However, the level of absurdity displayed by Time Magazine’s Joe Klein in the clip below from his appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe hits the mark. This excerpt from […]
Video: Islamists Attack Christians In Syria
By Theodore Shoebat The Jihadist motives of the Syrian revolution are revealing themselves more and more every day. Just yesterday it was reported that the Christian village of Rablah has been taken hostage; the perpetuators involved are Lebanese Islamists from a terrorist group called Ahmad Ammoun. As I said yesterday, these thugs will be found […]
Video: White House is telling us exactly why Muslim riots happening
Every once in a while, a paradox comes along that’s so blatant, it makes complete sense. For example, White House press secretary Jay Carney is adamant that the protests in the Middle East are in response to the anti-Muhammad video. In reality, the protests are about getting people like Carney to blame it on the […]
Egypt’s BEARD DAY: Friday Demonstrations In Support of Bearded Officers
Walid Shoebat You read that right. According to Arabic sources, the demonstrations sparked by The Egyptian Salafists planed for Friday 14th, 2012 seem to have transferred away from being about the film that insulted Prophet Muhammad and toward enforcing the rights of police officers and military to grow beards. Yep. Egyptian Salafists, of the party […]
Video from Libya: ‘Don’t Shoot us! We were sent by Mursi’

Arabic Sources Reveal the Truth Regarding Attacks on U.S. Embassy in Egypt: One of Culprits to visit U.S. on September 15th
Walid Shoebat The attacks on U.S. Embassies had very little to do with the latest film and much more to do with the old story of the Muhammad Cartoon and the failure of Muslims to prosecute internationally the culprits who drew the Muhammad cartoons. This will be another attempt to change the laws globally. Wisam […]

Germany conducts Raids on Salafists; bans one Salafist group
The primary difference between the Salafists and the Muslim Brotherhood is that the former is far more open and honest than the latter but both seek the same ends. When it comes to developments in Germany, the Brotherhood is likely shaking it’s head at the Salafists and muttering something about ‘we told you so’. Via […]

Video: Wafa Sultan exposes Religious Bigotry of Omar Bakri Muhammad
The left loves to point to the Christian right as a group of intolerant bigots who want to impose their beliefs on others. In reality, though Christians are commanded to hold very strict beliefs while ministering to others, they are absolutely not commanded to impose those beliefs on others or subjugate those who fail to […]

Washington Post reports Egypt’s Coptic Christians fear ‘Ultraconservative’ Muslims
Leila Fadel at the Washington Post has now officially chimed in on the fears of the Coptic Christians in Egypt as a direct result of the removal of Hosni Mubarak last year. Interestingly, she affixes a curious label to the ideology of those who threaten the Copts. A year after an attack by ultraconservative Muslims […]
Germany: Muslims beat up Leftists… No, Really
Perhaps the perfect microcosm to demonstrate the left-right-Islam dynamic. A right-wing / anti-Islamist movement in Germany gathered for a protest at which Muhammad cartoons would be displayed. Apparently, some Salafists became so enraged that they began beating the leftists. Via Islam vs. Europe, h/t BNI: Hundreds of assorted Muslims and far-left extremists turned up to […]
Muhammad Cartoons incite Salafists to attack Police in Germany
This debate is very simple. When cartoons of Muhammad lead to violence, who’s to blame? Is it A.) the drawer of the cartoon, B.) the people who showcase the cartoons at a rally on a public square, or C.) the hypersensitive Muslims who become unhinged and commit assault because the cartoons were in their presence.
