July 20, 2016 We Could Attack In Groups And They’d Still Call Us Lone Wolves By Mustafa Rehzi, ISIS Recruiter Men, we have met the enemy and they are confused.

June 17, 2016 I Like Giving Conflicting Prophecies To Different Leaders By God It never ceases to amaze Me how you humans get hold of an idea and force everything else to fit that idea, no matter how bloody or unpleasant the consequences.

April 14, 2016 Nutjob Racists Side With Us. Checkmate, Zionists By Ali Qawasmeh For years, the pitched rhetorical battle for public opinion has waged, between the supporters of freedom, liberty, human rights, and everything good, and the Zionists.

February 24, 2016 Consequences Are For Jews By Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian President When I signed a slew of international treaties last year, making a big show of Palestinian legitimacy on the international stage, I had one more thing in mind: using those treaties as cudgels with which to strike Israel.
