Geller: Charlie Hebdo’s PTSD

In the wake of the jihad slaughter of cartoonists at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo last January, the remaining employees of the magazine have said a number of outrageous, grotesque, and weak-willed statements. This is, of course, forgivable in light of the horrible jihad slaughter of their editorial staff because of a couple of sophomoric and inane cartoons of the humorless Muhammad.

Tornadoes Kill 11 in Texas

At least eleven are dead after tornadoes hit Texas near Dallas. The deadly storms left massive destruction in their wake and officials are still accessing the damage and death toll. Thousands are without power.

Geller: San Bernardino was Garland Without Guns

The similarities between the jihad attack on our American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) free speech event last May in Garland, Texas and the San Bernardino jihad slaughter are both striking and unnerving. Both events – our Muhammad Cartoon Contest and the San Bernardino Christmas party — offended Muslims. Both events violated the sharia: one was an art exhibit with depictions of Muhammad in art and literature over the past 1400 years, and the other celebrated a Christian holiday. Both deeply offensive to Muslims.

Leaders Sentenced in Holy Land Foundation Terror Financing Trial Lived Near Home of ‘Clock Boy’ Ahmed

A north Texas mosque, near the home of “Clock Boy” Ahmed, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in United States history. The judge found there was ample evidence that the mosque, the Islamic Association of North Texas, assisted the Holy Land Foundation in funding millions of dollars to a Palestinian military terrorist organization that has killed Israeli children.

‘High Level of Confidence’ ISIS Recruiter Linked to Garland, Texas Jihadis Killed in Drone Strike

CNN reports that U.S. military officials believe they have racked up another major ISIS leadership kill with a drone strike in Syria, presumably launched from the Incirlik airbase in Turkey. The top deputy of the Islamic State’s “caliph” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was taken out last week. The new target is British-born ISIS recruiter and hacker Junaid Hussain, who was linked to the gunmen who attacked the Mohammed Art Exhibit in Garland, Texas.

The American Challenge: One Man’s Statement of Love for His Country

Joseph Offutt is the patriotic Texan who held an American flag for 14 hours outside the reopened Curtis Culwell Center, following the failed terrorist attack against the Mohammed Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland on May 3. He’s still raising that flag at a more convenient intersection nearby, six days a week, and he’s never alone.

Op-ed: Stopping ISIS at Home and Abroad, by Congressman Will Hurd

Due to the diligence and hard work of our military and intelligence agencies, we haven’t seen a large-scale terrorist attack on our homeland since September 11, 2001. But our enemy has adapted its methods and is now using a digital network to radicalize individuals thousands of miles away from any ISIS camp.

Texas Terror Shooter’s Parents Say He Was ‘Pushed’ Into Jihad

Nadir Soofi was, by all accounts, the junior partner in the Texas Terror jihad attack. His roommate Elton Simpson was a “known wolf” who was very much on law enforcement’s radar screen, which is giving rise to some awkward questions about why counter-terrorist agencies could manage little more than a last-minute heads-up to the Garland police.

Texas Shooter’s Imam Warned Members to ‘Be Careful’ of FBI Informant

The Iman of the Phoenix, Arizona, mosque attended by Texas terror shooter Elton Simpson gathered members years ago to warn them about a potential danger in their midst–but it was not Simpson he warned them about. According to a recent New York Times article, the Iman warned others in the mosque that he was concerned that an FBI informant had infiltrated the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix.
