Muslim Brotherhood visits the White House
The Obama administration appears to be reaping what we warned against sowing – a Muslim Brotherhood-led Egypt. The Ikhwan (Brotherhood) has reneged on its pledge not to offer up a presidential candidate. This is what clear-thinking people knew would happen if Mubarak was toppled. White House spokesman Jay Carney explained the decision by the White […]
Turkey’s Prime Minister accuses United Nations of backing Bashar Al-Assad
The divide between Turkey and Syria’s Assad government continues to widen. Turkey is supporting the rebels in Syria and the longer this drags on, the more likely it will be for this Turkey / Syria divide to continue.

EXCLUSIVE: Shoebat video shows Egyptian Presidential candidate practicing Muruna
His name is Abol Futuh and he very well may become the next president of Egypt. Though he was allegedly expelled from the Muslim Brotherhood for running for president in Egypt, this video shows he is also a practitioner of Muruna, which would permit him to leave the Brotherhood with nothing more than a wink […]
Hillary Clinton seems to have no problem with Muslim Brotherhood taking over in Egypt (think Huma)
The Muslim Brotherhood pledged that it would not run for the Egyptian presidency. They have since reneged on that promise (are you shocked?). While visiting Istanbul, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – who has been known to go back on a word or two – didn’t seem to much mind. Via CNS News: Secretary of […]
South Sudan mobilizing for possible War with the North?
In January of 2011, the people of South Sudan overwhelmingly voted for Independence from Sudan when it elected a devout Christian named Salva Kiir to lead them. The official inauguration took place last summer and South Sudan was finally free. That doesn’t mean they won’t have to soon fight to keep that freedom. The youth […]
Iraq’s Sunni Vice President flees to Qatar; Shiite Prime Minister Al-Maliki demands he be returned
Syria is not the only place where the Sunni / Shiite divide is heating up. It’s also manifesting itself at the highest levels of government in Shiite-controlled Iraq. Last December, it was learned that an arrest warrant had been issued for Iraq’s Sunni Vice President – Tariq al-Hashemi – who fled to northern Iraq to […]
About Hillary Clinton’s meeting with Saudi King…
The Obama administration seems bound and determined to see a Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan) victory in Syria. Make no mistake. If Bashar Al-Assad is overthrown, that’s what will happen. This greatly serves the interests of Turkey, which borders Syria to the north. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Saudi King Abduallah this week, ostensibly, to […]
Grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder says Islam not responsible for Jihad in France
Ok, this is rich. The French Jihadist behind the Toulouse shootings hate crimes was a Sunni who had ties to Al-Qaeda, which is an off shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. The grandson of Hassan al-Banna, Tariq Ramadan, has not denounced his grandfather. In fact, all signs point to his having the utmost reverence for him. […]
Report: Sudan cancels Summit, bombs South Sudan Oil fields
The situation in Sudan is growing increasingly precarious.

Via […]
Sarkozy bans Yusuf al-Qaradawi from France; other Islamists who hate his country welcome
That headline conveys good news, right? Well, yeah, I guess it’s a start but check out the first few paragraphs from the Global Post. See if you can identify the problem without scornfully mocking Sarkozy’s ignorance of the elephant in the living room: Muslim preachers whom the French government considers radical will be banned from […]
Iran, Hezbollah step up support of Syria’s Assad (why that is a good thing)
Folks, please do not be fooled into thinking that because Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah are aggressively coming to Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad’s aid means that the United States should support the Syrian rebels. Some of our most senior Senators – McCain, Lieberman, and Graham – have already fallen into that trap. As […]
Retired General seems to make case for Leftists being afflicted with Stockholm Syndrome
Retired 3-star General Jerry Boykin makes one compelling case that leftists are the equivalent of sheep who are supporting wolves that will turn on them as soon as it’s a viable option. Boykin was interviewed by the Daily Caller: “The left has become apologists for the Muslim Brotherhood — that includes not only the gay […]
Yusuf al-Qaradawi denouncing… Hezbollah?
So, the Shiite / Sunni divide DOES exist. These guys are so predictable. If ever there was an ideology that has “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” as a central component, that ideology is Islam, which also adds another component; drop your “friend” in the grease as soon as you don’t need him […]
More reasons not to assist Syrian Rebels?
While prominent U.S. Senators like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Joe Lieberman all seem to think that providing assistance to the Syrian rebels in the form of weapons or bombing campaigns is a good idea, more reasons such a strategy would be foolhardy can be found to America’s south. Remember, by siding with Syria’s rebels, […]
