The FDD' s Long War Journal team has been researching and reporting for over two decades on the jihadists fueling this terror. “Generation Jihad” features LWJ Editors Bill Roggio and Caleb Weiss as they diagnose the black and white motivations behind the worl... more

  • Please improve your tone

    I’m giving this 3 stars because I support the Long War Journal and think everyone involved here does important work. But gentlemen, the tone has gotten absolutely unbearable. They guy who said “ever heard of Google” in the most recent episode is a child. You’re not funny and no one is listening to this to hear your jokes. Why can’t you just be professional and soberly address issues like an adult?
