Extensive discussion here of topic examined cameo-like in my Illinois Blues: How the Ruling Party Talks to Voters.

Don’t do it, son, said the Egyptian father.

TV host Mataz Matar demanded that El Shehaby withdraw: “My son watch out, don’t be fooled, or fool yourself thinking you will play with the Israeli athlete to defeat him and make Egypt happy. Egypt will cry; Egypt will be sad and you will be seen as a traitor and a normalizer in the eyes of your people.”

So. Don’t even “play with” him.

Comment by Jihad Watch’s Robert Spencer:

A normalizer. Islamic supremacists are determined never to treat Israel normally. They want it destroyed. That is all. No negotiated settlement will ever mollify them. But Western leaders persist in their fantasies nonetheless.

Western leaders, not least of them nor the least fantastic in his thinking, Pope Francis.

Nice going, Illinois.

Very good CNN rundown on this shady-lady Clintonian operation.

​Masterly screw-up:​

​Giuliani said Obama’s decision to withdraw troops from Iraq allowed ISIS to gain a foothold.“Here’s why it happened: He withdrew the troops from Iraq,” said Giuliani. "General [David] Petraeus had secured the eastern part of Iraq."

“It wasn’t in turmoil, it wasn’t in revolution and it wasn’t breeding terrorists,” he continued. "He had gotten the support of the Sunni tribes.

“When we pulled out, and the Obama administration and our secretary of State were unable to get a security of forces agreement for our troops, that’s when ISIS formed. That’s what [Trump] means by it.”​

​Legitimate point made by Trump​. Inexactly, yes. "Founded ISIS"? Not quite, and the jackals give not an inch. Giuliani excellent backstop for sometimes wild pitches.

Islamic State throws another gay man off building for “corruption of thought” and “homosexual acts”

No matter how often Islamic State jihadists inform Westerners that they are engaged in a religious war against infidels, Western leftist egocentrists insist that it is not a religious war. Even a “mainstream” imam called for the “merciful” murder of gays in an Orlando mosque weeks before the Pulse massacre.

They mean business.

Hello, Baby, give me rewrite. Wait. It’s on Trump supporters. Forget it. I forgot

It’s not important to know his out-of-school performance?
