Lone Wolfpack-Three New York Immigrants Charged with Aiding ISIS By Bridget Johnson

Federal officials today charged three New York residents on charges of trying to join ISIS, with one offering to assassinate President Obama for the Islamic State.

Two Uzbekistan citizens — Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev, 24, and Abror Habibov, 30 — were charged, along with one Kazakh, 19-year-old Akhror Saidakhmetov. Each faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.

The New York office of the FBI said authorities began watching Juraboev in August 2014 when he posted on an Uzbek-language jihadi website. He and Saidakhmetov forged a plan to travel to Turkey to join ISIS, and the latter was arrested today at JFK trying to board a flight to Istanbul.

Obama U.S. Attorney: Anti-Muslim Backlash More Dangerous Than ISIS (!!!!???) By Lloyd Billingsley

With nearly 40 million people, California offers an inviting target to Islamic terrorists. Ahmed Ressam, for example, aimed to blow up LAX in 1999, stopped only by a sharp-eyed customs agent. Since then, the Golden State has been free of attacks of 9/11 magnitude, mass murder in the style of “Soldier of Allah” Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood, Texas, and the kind of attacks now occurring in Europe. That could change under the strategy that emerged from the president’s recent “Summit on Countering Violent Extremism.”

In attendance was Obama appointee Benjamin Wagner, U.S. Attorney for California’s Eastern District, the territory from Los Angeles County to Oregon. Steve Magagnini of the Sacramento Bee asked Wagner, “What’s our first line of defense?”

A journey into the dark world of Jihad’s key tactic and signature.

ISIS’s savagery ensues without pause, as the terror group continues its diabolical barbarity with its recent kidnapping of at least 90 people from Christian villages in Syria.

In response to this ongoing terrorism perpetrated by the Islamic State, Frontpage is running The Glazov Gang’s feature interview with Dawn Perlmutter, the Director of the Symbol Intelligence Group and one of the leading subject matter experts (SME) in symbols, symbolic methodologies, unfamiliar customs and ritualistic crimes.

The discussion focused on Why ISIS Beheads, taking us into the dark world of Jihad’s key tactic and signature:

A Day in the Life of Teaching “Islamic Radicals & Terrorism” on Campus – Jamie Glazov Interviews Courageous Teacher Ford Campbell

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Ford Campbell, a teacher who has, for the past eight years, been teaching a graduate class, “Islamic Radicals & Terrorism,” at the Intermediate Unit 1 in California, PA, that appears to be the only one of its kind in the United States. He also teaches another graduate course called “Israel & Middle East Issues.” He has taught social studies for over 30 years and has a master’s degree in Biblical & Theological Studies from Luther Rice Seminary.

Frontpage: Ford Campbell, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

Let’s begin by you telling us about the two graduate courses you are teaching.

Ford: Thanks Jamie.

The two classes are for school teachers to take so that they can further their certification with ACT 48 credits and continue to teach in PA. Both classes have been approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and I am thankful for the foresight and courage that the Department of Education has shown in approving it, especially with the rise in Islamic terrorism around the world.

FP: Tell us about your Islamic Radicals & Terrorism class. What are some of the readings you assign?

Why Rudy and Walker Were Right By Ben Shapiro

This week, the media broke news that former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said, at an event attended by prospective Republican presidential candidate Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, that he does not believe President Barack Obama “loves America.” This isn’t news. Barack Obama doesn’t love free enterprise, believes founding philosophy was fatally flawed and sees the American people as rubes with antiquated religious and racist tendencies. Sure, we can all agree that Obama likely loves America’s scenery; perhaps he loves America, but doesn’t like her very much. But that’s not what Giuliani was talking about, and everyone knows it.

But in any case, Giuliani wasn’t the media’s true target. The true target was Walker.

DANIEL GREENFIELD: JEW WHO EMBRACE THEIR ENEMIES ****

After Israel’s victory in the Six Day War, the Israeli satirist Ephraim Kishon summed up the absurdity with the book “So Sorry We Won.” Israel’s greatest defeat was its victory. Thousands of years of persecution had taught Jews what to do when they lost. It had not taught what to do when they won.

Instead they had learned to feel guilty when they won as if there was something wrong with winning.

Last February, a divestment resolution went before the UCLA student government. Despite intense pressure, harassment and hate, Jewish students pushed back against it. And the resolution failed 7-5.

In November, a divestment vote came up again and UCLA Jewish student groups chose to sit it out.

U.S., Israel Trade Barbs Over Iran Talks By Carol E. Lee , Michael R. Crittenden , Nicholas Casey

Top U.S. officials sharpened efforts to undermine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of his visit to Washington next week as tensions rose over his push to scuttle a possible nuclear deal with Iran.

At what U.S. officials say is a historic low point in relations between the longtime allies, the White House now sees Mr. Netanyahu as a serious threat to President Barack Obama ’s efforts to reach an agreement with Iran to limit its nuclear program.

U.S. officials are deliberately moving to undercut the Israeli leader’s influence ahead of his controversial speech to Congress next week by casting him as opposing any deal with Iran regardless of the terms.

Islamic State’s Scariest Success: Attracting Western Newcomers By Yaroslav Trofimov

Extremist Group Gains Appeal Well Beyond its Ultraconservative Roots

Islamic State’s ability to lure thousands of Westerners is unprecedented in modern history, and may be its scariest success. It is especially disturbing because the bulk of these women and men flocking to Syria are relative newcomers to Islamic observance—a sign the murderous group is gaining appeal well beyond its ultraconservative roots.

Either outright converts from Christianity or people raised in nonobservant or atheist households, they are often rebels in search of a flag of convenience, terrorism researchers say. In rejecting modern society and its rules, many of these newly baked jihadists have embraced Islamic State’s genocidal cult simply because it is the most obvious counterpoint to the West.

Shiryn Ghermezian-Students for Justice in Palestine Outraged by Mysterious Flyers Showing Hamas Executions

UCLA’s chapter of anti-Israel group Students for Justice in Palestine
(SJP) was enraged by a series of posters depicting Hamas executions
that appeared early Sunday around the school campus.

“These posters are a clear example of hate speech directed against
Students for Justice in Palestine, as well as supporters of
Palestinian freedom and equality,” SJP asserted in a statement. “They
rely on Islamophobic and anti-Arab tropes to paint Palestinians as
terrorists and to misrepresent Students for Justice in Palestine as
antisemitic.”

DANIEL MANDEL: OF COURSE THERE IS A CRISIS IN US/ISRAEL RELATIONS

We are, again, in the midst of that periodic occurrence: a crisis in Israel/US relations. This one revolves around White House pique over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s acceptance of an invitation by House Speaker John Boehner to address the US Congress on Iran’s nuclear weapons program, an issue on which the White House and Jerusalem have been divided for some time.

But any remotely careful analysis of the US/Israel relationship will show that Jerusalem and the White House (but rarely the Congress and, by extension, the US electorate) have often clashed on issues deemed vital to Israel’s security and existence.

In fact, Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, declared Israel’s very independence in the face of strong opposition from US Secretary of state George Marshall.
