They sure don’t make em’ like they used to:
“I have found a certain type calls himself a liberal…now I always thought I was a liberal. I came up terribly surprised one time when I found out that I was a right-wing, conservative extremist, when I listened to everybody’s point of view that I ever met, [...]
Move along, nothing to see here. When a spokesman for a group that is linked to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and that has had several of its officials convicted of various jihad terror-related offenses, tells us where not to look in order to understand the motives and goals of…
Lone wolf white right-wing extremist update: more on this story. “Pakistan Has 2 Alleged Financiers in Custody in Times Square Bomb Case,” from the Associated Press, May 14: WASHINGTON — A senior U.S. military official says Pakistan now has at least two men in custody on suspicion of helping to…
As Rep. Hoekstra said, that should be a “game-changer.” But it almost certainly won’t be. Note also the claim that “the Punjab government was hoping to moderate such groups.” How? By rewarding bad (and decidedly “immoderate”) behavior? This story demonstrates the dangerous cop-out that “engagement” for “moderation” can be. “Politicians…

They first said they had no regrets about plotting jihad against U.S. forces. Then they claimed they weren’t terrorists, but merely jihadists, and that the latter should be quite alright. Then they claimed to have just been joking. Then they claimed to have been tortured. Next excuse: Ready… set… “American…
All quite true. This story again demonstrates the uselessness of the “moderate” label. As “moderation” is relative to extremes, all the term can tell us is that the “moderate” is perceived as not being as bad as the next guy. It does not, however, imply a forthright and useful engagement…
It’s been less than 48 hours and the terrorist attacks in Moscow are already being misunderstood.
