  • By Selwyn Duke They don’t call it “Little Mogadishu” for nothing. The Cedar Riverside section of Minneapolis is home to the University of Minnesota, supplying college graduates who fight for jobs in a tough market. But this one neighborhood is also supplying something else: Dozens of jihadis — drawn from the area’s large concentration of…

  • By Selwyn Duke One tactic Soviet-bloc countries would use to stifle dissidents was involuntary confinement to mental institutions. After all, you have to be crazy to oppose state ideology, right? Now, though, 26 years after the Berlin Wall’s fall comes a similar shocking story — from well west of where the wall stood. It is…

  • By Selwyn Duke Hey, isn’t creating sacrilegious images brave? That’s what we heard years ago when at issue was “art” such as a crucifix immersed in a glass of urine or a Virgin Mary picture smeared with feces. But that wasn’t quite the response to pundit Pamela Geller’s Mohammed cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, was…

  • By Selwyn Duke Perhaps he just wants to show he’s doubleplusgood, but the man who may be Britain’s next prime minister has pledged to stop at nothing to stamp out “Islamophobia.” Labour Party leader Ed Miliband (shown) — who now enjoys a slight lead in election polls — made the promise during an interview in…

  • By Selwyn Duke It was a solution right up there with “Let them eat cake.” Addressing the issue of Jews fleeing Europe due to increasing Islamic terrorism and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for them to seek safety in Israel, Bill Nye “the Science Guy” had an interesting solution: “Get to know your neighbors.” The…

  • By Selwyn Duke Americans have very little faith in Obama’s faith. In fact, accepting that he’s “Christian” seems a leap of faith many citizens are unwilling to take, say polls. And Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin (shown) appears no exception. Asked recently by two Washington Post reporters if Obama is a Christian, Walker replied, “I…

  • By Selwyn Duke You’ve probably never heard of Founding Fathers named Gamal bin Washington and Thamar Jefferson, and neither has Barack Obama. But this didn’t stop him from making the claim that “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding.” While speaking in the White House’s South Court Auditorium during…

  • By Selwyn Duke It doesn’t require stupid people for the utterance of stupid things — just smart people embracing stupid ideology. In the wake of advocating a counter-terrorism plan mercilessly mocked by critics as a jobs-for-jihadists program, State Department spokesman Marie Harf has provided more comedic-commentary gold. Downplaying the threat posed by Islamic jihad while…

  • By Selwyn Duke You might have heard about those people hailing from Western countries going off to fight where ISIS reigns. Or maybe not. No, these aren’t the jihadists who speak flawless French or English and leave the comfort of their Occidental cocoon to aid the Islamic State terrorists. Rather, they’re driven by a desire…

  • By Selwyn Duke “I was going to behead you, but I have to be at work in five minutes.” U.S. Department of State deputy spokesman Marie Harf certainly did a job on her reputation this Monday while offering an analysis that critics have mockingly dismissed as a jobs-for-jihadists solution to terrorism. While a guest on…
