- "We will win
because Americans don't realize... we do not need to defeat you
militarily; we only need to fight long enough for you to defeat
yourself by quitting." — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the
al-Qaeda planners of the 9/11 attacks.
- "This
Spanish retreat [in 2004] will be perceived as a huge political
triumph for Al Qaeda and like-minded Islamic radicals -- probably
their most important achievement since September 11, 2001." —
James Phillips, Heritage Foundation.
- ISIS's henchmen
butchered 90 people at the Bataclan Theater. What did the French
government do to avenge them and to destroy the Islamists responsible?
Absolutely nothing. The day after an Islamist killed Westerners at a
Christmas market in Berlin, no German military flight took off to bomb
ISIS.
- The next
"peace conference" in Paris, on January 15, is where 70
nations will probably agree to another UN Security Council vote, to
establish a Palestinian State, presumably with the Old City of
Jerusalem, the heart of the Jewish people and sacred to the Christian people,
as its capital. It is another terrible sign of the West's soft
capitulation to terror.
- Like Israel
today, the Czechs in the 1930s were accused of being "disturbers
of the peace". "Peace," as in the inversions of George
Orwell -- sometimes means capitulation to Islam.

What inspired al-Qaeda to attack the United States, according to one
of the terrorists, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), who helped plan 9/11?
The American psychologist, James E. Mitchell, who crafted the
interrogation program that helped stop terrorist attacks and saved
countless lives after 9/11, just published a book, Enhanced
Interrogation.
In it, KSM is quoted as saying that al-Qaeda expected the United
States to respond to 9/11 as it had to the 1983 bombing of the US Marine
barracks in Beirut -- the United States "turned tail and ran." In
the end, KSM told Mitchell:
"We will win because Americans don't realize... we do not need to
defeat you militarily; we only need to fight long enough for you to defeat
yourself by quitting. ... Eventually, America will expose her neck for us
to slaughter."

- These numbers put
the total death toll in Turkey at 13,056, in a span of fewer than 17
months.
- Actually, ISIS's
terror attack was no more than a violent expression of the dominant
Islamist ideology ruling in Turkey.
- Elsewhere in
Turkey, banners were unfurled, showing a bearded man punching Santa
Claus; another banner showed a group pointing guns in the face of
another Santa. On December 31, a headline in an Islamist newspaper
read, "This is our last warning, DO NOT celebrate".
- Where, you might
ask, are the Turkish authorities? They are busy. The Turkish police,
unable to prevent ISIS's attack, instead detained a woman in Istanbul
who called for secularism in a speech protesting jihadist groups.
A video still from a security camera shows the moment
when an ISIS terrorist entered the Reina nightclub in Istanbul, where he
murdered 39 people, in the early morning of January 1.
Last year was no doubt an annus horribilis for Turkey.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that 1,178 people were killed between
July 2015 and December 2016 in Turkey's fight with the Kurdistan Workers'
Party (PKK). Bomb attacks by the Islamic State (ISIS) claimed another 330
lives. Those numbers exclude 248 people who died during the bloody coup
attempt of July 15, as well as 9,500 apparent PKK members who were killed
by Turkish security forces. Turkey also claims that it killed 1,800 ISIS
members since July 2015. These numbers put the total death toll in Turkey
at 13,056, in a span of fewer than 17 months.
Just when most people thought that would be the final death toll for
2016, on December 10, a twin bombing in Istanbul outside a soccer stadium
killed at least 38 people, and injured another 136. A week later, a suicide
car-bomb in central Turkey killed 13 off-duty soldiers aboard a bus and
wounded 56 more.
