The misconceived war against Libya
In “Symposium: The Mismanaged War Against Libya” at FrontPage today, a panel including Michael Ledeen, Lt. General Ion Mihai Pacepa, Walid Phares and me explores what American “” and Western “” interests are served by the coalition’s war against Libya. The answer: none. Robert Spencer, let us begin with you. What is your position on […]
UN wants to teach about Holocaust in Gaza: “The agency will open the gates of hell with this step”
Muslims can only be victims, and Jews can only be aggressors. Anything that could possibly arouse sympathy for those “strongest in enmity” to Muslims (Qur’an 5:82) is bad for business, and clearly Hamas cannot tolerate that. Toward the end of the report, we find out the Palestinian Authority can’t, either. And they’re supposed to be […]
Oklahoma tries again to outlaw Sharia
70% of Oklahomans voted to ban Sharia last November, but an ignorant Leftist judge, Vicki Miles-LaGrange, bought Hamas-linked CAIR’s deceptive line that Sharia was just private religious law, and ruled against the will of the people. The obvious problem with her ruling is that no one cares if Muslims choose to practice Islam; the only […]

Egyptian Sheikh: Yes, Islam forbids Christians to build new churches
This fatwa is noteworthy since Islamic apologists in the West routinely deny that Islamic law forbids non-Muslims to build new houses of worship or repair old ones. Not only does Sheikh Sa’id ‘Abd-al-‘Athim affirm that, but he also explains why it’s different when Muslims are forbidden to build mosques in Italy — which, of course, […]
Spencer: Firing on Libya — For What?
Human Events entitled my latest piece “U.S. Bombs on Libya May Backfire,” but it’s hard to see how something that lacks a clear objective in the first place can backfire. As the U.S. fired more than 100 Tomahawk cruise missiles into Libya on Saturday, the objective seems clear. Barack Obama declared that “we cannot stand […]
Wikileaks documents show growing concern in U.S. government over Gulen’s Islamic movement

S. officials over Fethullah Gulen’s attempts to create a New Islamic World and the “braining washing of […]
