Funded by / Ownership

Analysis / Bias

In review, Jihad Watch holds an extreme right anti-Islam viewpoint. The main purpose of Jihad Watch is to portray Muslims in a negative light that often points toward violent tendencies such as this: Canada fights “h**e”, while jihadist sign threatening “massacre of Jews” flaunted at Toronto al-Quds Day rally and this, in which they seem to advocate for a fight against Islam: Can Islam Be Defeated? This propaganda piece is sourced to both the Bible and Quran as evidence. When it comes to sourcing, they use a variety of sources, some which are credible and others which are not, such as Breitbart. In general, all stories on Jihad Watch serve as propaganda to frame Muslims negatively, while portraying Christians/Americans as persecuted and in danger.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled Robert Spencer a White Nationalist, while the Anti-Defamation League has done the same. Robert Spencer is also the co-founder of Stop Islamization of America with Pamela Geller, which is considered a h**e group.

Couldn't ask for a less biased, trustworthy and loving source for valuable, reliable and non-prejudiced information.

First that is not what she wrote, she said the punishment should fit the crime. But, there is no proof against any BP agent yet, the investigation is in progress. I believe that US Citizens have not lost their moral compass nor have they become indecent.

I believe that those who have crossed the border are criminals..... meaning that they broke the law by entering the US without proper paperwork or permission from our government. As criminals, there should be no question about their disposition..... as criminals, they should be deported immediately after photographing and DNA taken. This would eliminate the need for additional holding areas, reduce cost for their maintenance while in custody, and free up the court system for legitimate asylum seekers who apply according to procedures, reducing their stress and wait times.

Blade; have you ever heard of The Holy Scriptures, more commonly called The Bible? It is the most printed book in the world, and is available in nearly every language known to man. In the Holy Scriptures, God provides the history of creation and of mankind. The books within are filled with easy to understand practical stories of man's history, presence, and future. I am raised to such an exalted position by my belief in God and His son Jesus Christ -who offered himself as the only acceptable sacrifice so that man's sins could be forgiven. I (like you) was created in God's image, and am gifted with His Holy Spirit. I do not "make judgments on His behalf" - I just study His word and work every day at becoming more like His son Jesus. If my pointing out the obvious offends you, perhaps you may look at "your beliefs" and reconsider. Of course, as with God, you have the right to choose whom (or what) you will serve -but as for me and my household, we shall serve the Lord -Joshua.

If the scenes were "staged' as in color schemes, lighting, etc., that does not detract the fact that Melania has posed nude or semi-nude for various magazines and publications worldwide. I can think of no other country where you can find nude pics of their first lady on the internet. period. I can remember a time, not so long ago, where we vetted our 'first family' and would never have allowed those with stained character like Trump to ascend to the presidency. I guess not too far in the future, drug barons, sex perverts, and child molesters will be all fair game to be president. sad.
