Less than four days after a gunman held four Jews hostage inside a Texas synagogue in a doomed attempt to free a convicted terrorist, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) thinks it is ready to renew its campaign to achieve the same objective. “It’s time to push back,” CAIR’s Dallas chapter…
A pretty remarkable thing happened last weekend. The leaders of two organizations which are supposed to be in business to fight bigotry took turns accusing each other of engaging in bigotry. One party is right. But having us say so doesn’t go far. So consider this an invitation to American news outlets which…
The Washington Post posted a profile Sunday about the police chief of a small Georgia town who has a fairly revolutionary training program. Rather than teaching his officers to shoot at a suspect’s “center mass,” LaGrange Police Chief Louis Dekmar wants his cops – when possible – to aim lower. The objective is…
He is a retired U.S. Army colonel and once a top aide to then-Secretary of State Colin Powell. He now works as a “distinguished adjunct professor of government & public policy” at the College of William & Mary, and serves on the Military Religious Freedom Foundation’s board. But Lawrence Wilkerson doesn’t believe…
As we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attacks, the pain endures for the survivors and for the family members of the nearly 3,000 people who perished that day. New York lost hundreds of first responders at the World Trade Center, and 2,500 U.S. soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan.…
The Taliban has returned to power in Afghanistan. Iran is racing toward a nuclear weapon. Lebanon is on the brink of collapse as Hizballah – the Iranian proxy – stands to gain even more power as it waits for the day it unleashes 130,000 rockets and precision missiles on Israel. Despite all these realities, anti-Israel activist Osama Abuirshaid stood outside…
Monday, Taliban spokesman Mohammad Naeem said after Kabul fell, was “a great day for the Afghan people and the mujahideen. They have witnessed the fruits of their efforts and their sacrifices for 20 years. Thanks to God, the war is over in the country.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is going…
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Georgia chapter was intent on making news Monday, but apparently it couldn’t decide how. The objective was clear – to smear the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE), because GILEE takes American police leaders to Israel. It’s part of a years-long campaign by Israel-bashers to discredit…
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) rescinded a 2018 job offer to run its Dallas-Fort Worth chapter at least in part because the candidate was a Christian. A year earlier, the staff at CAIR’s New York chapter was so concerned about the behavior of National Litigation and Civil Rights Director Lena…
Work changed for most people during the COVID-19 pandemic. For writers and thinkers, including best-selling author Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the question was clear: How does someone who relies on public speaking to get her message out when public events pose a health risk? The answer, in part, is the Ayaan Hirsi…
A Southern California imam called Israelis “child killers” and urged Muslims to “sacrifice whatever resources we can in defense of that land,” in a talk live-streamed last Thursday on YouTube. Sheikh Tarik Ata’s remarks came after Jews were targeted in at least two anti-Semitic attacks in Los Angeles. The video remains available on the Orange County Islamic Foundation‘s YouTube…
San Francisco State University’s scheduled program Friday with PFLP terrorist Leila Khaled is in doubt, as the online registration for the Zoom-hosted event has been taken down. Zoom has not responded to requests for comment Tuesday and Wednesday. A spokesperson told the Investigative Project on Terrorism last week that the online video conferencing…
