Hasan in 2007: “Offensive Islam is the Future”

The Washington Post has obtained a copy of a slideshow presented by Major Hasan to US military doctor colleagues in June 2007. Rather than speak about medical topics, as he was supposed to, he lectured on Islam, suicide bombings and threats the US military would face if it continued to fight in Muslim majority countries.

Death Threats, Part Of An “Exclusively Political Method”

Global Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) likes to claim that it is devoted to an “exclusively political method” which is non-violent. Even though HT would be happy to see the deaths of millions and its ideology and strategy has been well documented by my Spittoonite comrade Houriya (not least in the excellent, but somewhat prosaically [...]

Islamists set terms in war on jihad

Swapan Dasgupta has an interesting article in The Pioneer today. He explores the differences between the recent case of Major Nidal Malik Hasan and that of the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her bodyguards 25 years ago.

Fort Hood Murderer Shared Imam With 9/11 Hijackers

Zionist propaganda?

As a book read by nearly every child in Britain at some point, ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ is one of the most important ways in which children can be introduced to the horror of the Holocaust. And, given many Arab and Middle Eastern countries’ horrific levels of Antisemitism, it was great news when Paris-based [...]

Iceland Under Threat Of War

Thomas Friedman famously wrote about the “Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention”, that no two McDonald’s-having countries will go to war. Since Israel now has a kosher McDonald’s, since Saudi Arabia’s McDonald’s closes five times a day for Muslim prayer, since Egypt has 18 McDonald’s and Jordan is getting its first, the chances of a war [...]

Iranian government employee involved in British ‘Prevent’ programme
