This is a historic speech. Viktor Orban is a champion of freedom amid the enveloping darkness. “We must therefore drag the ancient virtue of courage out from under the silt of oblivion. First of all we must put steel in our spines.” Luminous and lapidary words shining like a spotlight out of the gloom. Here […]

This shouldn’t even be controversial. But it is likely it won’t pass. “Bid to ban Muslims from replacing UK law with Sharia courts to be put before MPs TODAY,” by David Maddox, Express, March 11, 2016: A private members bill due to be voted on today would stop religious organisations from pretending to be able […]
The Islamic jihad against Christendom started before anyone ever heard of a Crusade

Lyons, Washington Times, March 10, 2016 (thanks to Jim): In an earlier column in these pages, “Reforming Islam,” I documented the need for Islam to experience an internal reformation. This is not just a question of abstract […]

Netanyahu: “The words of the U.N. secretary general give a tailwind to terrorism”
“The Palestinian murderers do not want to build a state — they want to destroy a state and they say that out loud. They want to kill Jews wherever they are, and they say that out loud.” Good to see a political leader finally telling the truth about this. “Netanyahu Chides Ban Ki-moon for Settlement […]
Cruz: “If you wage jihad against us you’re signing your death warrant”
A bit more realism than what is coming out of the Oval Office tonight. Even calling it “jihad” is a departure from the prevailing fantasies. “‘President Cruz’ ad promises: ‘If you wage jihad against us you’re signing your death warrant,’” by Carmine Sabia, BizPac Review, December 6, 2015: Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz released a […]
Pataki dares Lynch to arrest him for urging “war on radical Islam”
How he proposed to distinguish between benign, chummy Islam and radical Islam, he didn’t say — but that is not the key point here. Lynch has clearly thrown down the gauntlet on the freedom of speech.

Islamocritical ex-Congressman to Atty General: “Prosecute me. I dare you.”
Loretta Lynch’s statement warning that “Islamophobic” speech would be prosecuted was just another in a long line of statements opposing the freedom of speech from Obama Administration officials.

Free speech victory: California school board allows students to draw Muhammad
“Agua Dulce resident Chris Burgard, a parent with school-aged children, made a heart-felt speech in which he said it was unreasonable, and a direct violation of every American’s First Amendment rights, to be prohibited from drawing images of Moses, Jesus, Abraham, Muhammad or other patriarchs as a result of one parent’s complaints. ‘If our kids wanted to draw […]
