An Israeli saying has it that the “Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” Jared Kushner, architect of President Trump’s Peace to Prosperity plan, the so-called Deal of the Century, accepted this premise as a challenge, and devised an opportunity so good that no “Palestinian” could possibly miss it, or so he thought.

Iran’s Staggering Incompetence: The Islamic Republic Does It Yet Again
When a US drone strike killed Iranian terrorist general Qassim Soleimani in January, the clamor of condemnation of President Donald Trump eventually gave way to the more sober assessment that the US had shot and killed an Iranian general plus four other top-level terrorist leaders in a single military attack without any of its soldiers […]
When Muslims Who Reject “Man-made” Laws Resort to Non-Muslim Authorities to Advance Islam
Islamic supremacist Azfal Khan, alias Labour MP Afzal Khan, alias Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Commons Azfal Khan, has just bettered himself by appealing to the government he’s working to abolish for help in dealing with English nationalist and veteran counter-jihadist Tommy Robinson. Much as perpetrators of jihad loathe institutions that promulgate “laws […]
Guide for the Perplexed: Infidels, the Coronavirus and Ramadan
Eight days from now, Ramadan will once again be upon us. Some things will not change: Muslims will fast during the day and binge at night; jihad mass murders will spike; the mainstream media will carry double-page spreads extolling the virtues of these spiritually advanced people getting closer to God; and so forth. But some […]
The contradiction between “Allahu akbar” and “La illaha illallah” (There is no god but Allah)
“Allahu akbar” means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god. This is shirk at the very heart of Islam. It directly contradicts, “There is no god, but Allah.” If there is no god, but Allah, then who is the god that Allah is greater than? For Allah to be greater than another god, there […]
Hamas top dog: “If ventilators are not brought into Gaza, we’ll stop the breathing of six million Israelis”
The Gospels offer the world many words of wisdom. One of these is, “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces” (Matthew 7:6). Yesterday, the Times of Israel reported that Hamas terror chief Yahya […]
Jewish Dhimmitude under Islam Creeps into the Open
It’s little, it’s late, it’s tentative, but it is no longer a denial. Occasionally an honest and bold commentator mentions the unmentionable in the Israeli media: Jewish dhimmitude under Islam. It usually doesn’t get very far. The Jerusalem Post on March 23, 2020 puts a toe in the water with Rabbi Eli Kavon’s Maimonides on […]
Islam Comes Face-to-Face with Its Own Fundamental Contradiction
It is often asserted that Islam is incompatible with one or another of civilisation’s Enlightenment achievements, such as freedom, human rights, equality, democracy, Western society, individual autonomy, etc. All such claims are, of course, correct. Yet they present only a limited picture, for each of these incompatibilities represents only a particular manifestation of a far […]
Muslim Priorities in a Dangerous Pandemic
Yesterday I popped into hospital to have a recovering wound on my leg checked. The pedestrian entrance had been blocked off, with a temporary field hospital set up right on the road. The doctors at the entrance wanted to know whether I had any of the COVID-19 symptoms. I did not, but asked them to […]
Fiction in a Time of Lies
As the “Satanic Verses Affair” was ramping up, an influential Muslim spokesperson approached Salman Rushdie with a request that the author put a notification on the cover of The Satanic Verses that this was a novel, and that the story was fiction and not fact. The disappointed spokesperson later complained that despite his having approached […]
