The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a multinational coalition consisting of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates has warned it may intervene militarily in Yemen to depose the Shiite Houthi revolutionary government if the United Nations Security Council does not properly react to the threat.
Dr. Charles Jacobs, President of Americans for Peace and Tolerance appeared on Breitbart News Sunday with Breitbart News Executive Chairman and host Stephen K. Bannon and informed him that the Islamic Center of Boston has become a breeding ground for radical Jihadists.
On Wednesday, February 18th, the Obama White House will showcase what it considers its counter-terrorism successes at the Countering Violent Extremism Summit.
It must be said that Obama’s “countering violent extremism” formulation is a craven euphemism meant to hide the truth. Even Obama’s own supporter, Thomas Friedman of The New York Times, understands that the main threat to America and the world at large comes not from just any kind of violent extremism, but from “Islamic extremism,” a term Obama is unwilling to utter.
On Fox & Friends Saturday morning, Breitbart National Security Editor and Major General Horner Chair of Military Theory at the Marine Corps University Dr. Sebastian Gorka warned that the Islamic State is a terror group “far, far more dangerous than Al Qaeda ever was,” and that only a coalition of Arab ground troops with U.S. advisors would eradicate the threat from the Middle East permanently.
The pair of deadly shootings on Saturday in Copenhagen–one at a free-speech debate, one near a synagogue–reprise last month’s terrorist attacks in Paris by targeting journalists and Jews once more. If, as suspected, the shootings are the work of Islamic terrorists, it is clear that the West faces an enemy determined not only to kill, but to destroy our core values. That, in turn, means that the West must wage ideological war against radical Islam. “Pinpoint” air strikes are not enough.
A federal prosecutor has formally charged Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman, and a number of other high-ranking officials of working to remove Iranian terrorists from Interpol’s wanted list in exchange for preferential economic treatment from the Islamic Republic.
For centuries, Westerners have been lured by the “mysterious” East. Fortune hunters, explorers, adventurers, businessmen, diplomats, journalists, artists, missionaries, and humanitarian aid workers have all fled the confines of the West for lives of drama and danger.
The Nigerian jihadist terror group Boko Haram has staged what is believed to be its first deadly attack on the nation of Chad, crossing the Nigerian border overnight and killing a number of soldiers. Their passage across Lake Chad from Nigeria follows a deadly female suicide bombing in northeast Borno.
Notorious German-born “gangster rapper” Denis Cuspert, 39, went from a tumultuous youth to converting to Islam and pledging allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) this past spring, before being placed on America’s global terrorism watch list. He was published in the U.S. government’s Federal Register on January 27.
The new issue of Dabiq, the Islamic State English-language magazine, is officially out. Its headlining story boasts the capture of a Mossad informant, but the magazine serves less to bring news than to reframe the war between the Islamic State and civilization as a revisiting of the Crusades.
In contrast to others, I confirm Radical Islam exists. Political scientists, including Muslim political scientists, know it as Islamism. Only part of Islamism expresses violence – violence frequently identified as terrorism. Much of Islamism pursues non-violent ambitions devoted to a new but entirely 20th Century totalitarianism, which is now the preeminent threat of our age. Islamism is the new totalitarianism.
While the U.S. government continues to search for an information campaign that can effectively weaken ISIS and other radical groups, Christians have been waging a surprisingly successful war of ideas against radical Islam.
Sanity has just prevailed in Muslim-majority Indonesia. An attempt to impose virginity tests on female high school students in the city of Jember has failed. A public outcry, led by human rights groups, as well as by Indonesia’s Muslim clerics, has led to the rescinding of a virginity requirement for girls-only in high school. Non-virgins would not have been entitled to their diplomas.
On Wednesday from 9 a.m.– 2 p.m. ET, Breitbart News will livestream the “How to Defeat Jihad Summit” from Washington, D.C., brought to you by Frank Gaffney and the Center for Security Policy. Among those participating in the Defeat Jihad Summit will be Sen.

Montreal’s El Forkane school, which focuses on teaching Arabic and the Koran, has been shut down after it was alleged that the school has been promoting radical Islamist ideals on its website.
It didn’t take long.
Dr. Andrew Bostom, an independent scholar and recognized authority on Islamic anti-Semitism, spoke on February 4th to the Lawfare Project on Iran’s “Annihilationist” ideology and the theocratic reasoning behind their intentions to destroy Israel.
The government of Panama has announced that it will become the first Latin American nation to join the United States-led coalition against the Islamic State in the Middle East. The nation did not specify how it would aid the coalition, a particularly curious question given that Panama has no standing military force.

National Security Advisor Susan Rice formally released President Barack Obama’s new National Security Strategy at the Brookings Institution on Friday, to mixed reviews. The document repeated many of the president’s controversial claims from recent days, such as that talks have “stopped the progress of Iran’s nuclear program.” One element of the strategy is already obsolete: it commits to “seek a stable Yemen” on the day Iranian-backed rebels have taken control of the country.
ISIS has released a Manifesto on women and girls. Titled “Women in the Islamic State,” it is far more extreme than even Hitler’s vision of women as belonging in the nursery (Kinder) the kitchen, (Küche) and the Church (Kirche).
Al-Qaeda is condemning ISIS’s “deviance” following the burning of Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh.
The King of Jordan has declared vengeance against ISIS and a number of Muslim clerics—and even Al-Qaeda—have condemned the fiery public murder of the Jordanian pilot.
The one glaring fact concerning the persecution of approximately 100 million Christians around the world today is that the overwhelming majority of it is being committed by Muslims of all races, nationalities, languages, and socio-political circumstances.
