Nobel Prize-winning author V.S. Naipaul says ISIS represents the closest thing the world has seen to a “Fourth Reich” and urges world leaders to expand the military campaign against them to ensure their “annihilation.”
It has long been feared that ISIS could ally with Somali terror group al-Shabaab, which has been tied to al-Qaeda. As Osama bin Laden’s gang fades and the Islamic State rises, ISIS might look like a better partner for the Somalian militants. ISIS recently accepted an oath of fealty from Boko Haram in Nigeria.

HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher declared “this idea we cannot call it ‘Islamic terrorism’ seems Orwellian to me” on Friday. Maher began by stating that President Obama’s argument that “no religion is responsible for terrorism, people are responsible for
The Obama administration has no shame whatsoever about its denialist approach to radical Islamic terror. Rather than admit that its conference on “violent extremism” was, at best, window-dressing after the embarrassment of avoiding the Paris anti-terror march, it is attempting to turn political correctness into a foreign policy doctrine.

The president’s speech at the conference on combating violent extremism Wednesday wasn’t nearly as bad as some of his other recent statements on the topic. He did not repeat the silly claim that ISIS is not Islamic. He did not refer to the Crusades or the Inquisition.

The Obama administration made a kind of parlor game out of refusing to connect the Islamic State with Islam. The president himself said it most directly last year when he announced in a prime time TV address, “ISIL is not ‘Islamic.’”
Shouting the jihadist battle cry declared by Islam’s prophet Muhammad himself, “Allahu-akbar” (“Allah is greater”), on Saturday, February 14, 2015, a Muslim gunman opened fire on participants at a Copenhagen, Denmark, conference on freedom of expression, killing 1 and wounding 3 others.
