$3,500,000,000 from 9/11 Victims Being Held by U.S. for the Taliban
President Trump can undo one of Biden’s worst crimes. Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan, the United States has sent over $3.8 billion to Afghanistan. While President Trump has frozen most U.S. aid to Afghanistan, $120 million was still dispatched this quarter. And, more problematically, the UN continues to send billions in American hundred dollar bills to […]
Why Is Duke’s Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies Department Spending So Much Time Maligning the Jewish State?
Mishana Garschi is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Duke University gender studies program. According to her very own web page, Garschi’s interests “include Black feminist theory, feminist theory, popular culture, and the politics of diversity and inclusion.” She liked a post so much that she reposted it on X: “having a phd and being a […]
Left Outraged After Military School Libraries Dump Book That Called 9/11 Firefighters ‘Not Human’
The police officers and firefighters who died on September 11 “were not human to me.” The question isn’t why the Pentagon has begun getting toxic trash like this out of military school libraries. The question is why they were there in the first place. But the Huffington Post has a list of what they’re calling […]
The Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke: An Introduction
I have already written here about Duke Professor Frances Hasso and her anti-Israel animus that has sunk ineluctably into outright antisemitism. But Hasso is only one part of a much bigger problem. It turns out that her entire department, the Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies, appears to be engaged in a multi-year orgy […]
Hamas severely tortured hostage Edan Alexander, left him handcuffed in cage for extended period
Of course they did. It’s part of their religious obligation: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60) “Report: Edan Alexander suffered severe torture in captivity, was kept handcuffed in a cage,” […]
Afghanistan: Taliban government bans chess, says that in Islamic law, it’s ‘a means of gambling’
“O you who believe, strong drink and games of chance and idols and divining arrows are only an abomination of Satan’s handiwork. Leave it aside so that you may succeed.” (Qur’an 5:90) This ban is ironic in light of the fact that “Muslims invented chess” has been a core element of the fictional wonderfulness of […]
Trump and Qatar: The Blame Falls Mainly on the Plane
Trump is in the Middle East, drumming up investment for the country and for himself. It’s the “for himself” that is so worrisome. The Saudis have now agreed to spend more than $142 billion on the most advanced American weaponry over the next four years. Do we know, are we certain, that Saudi Arabia will […]
Uganda: Muslims murder Christian preacher after he led several Muslims to faith in Christ
Islamic law forbids Christians and other non-Muslims to proselytize and try to convert Muslims. It’s a death penalty offense. Islamic law states that a subject non-Muslim in an Islamic state can be killed if he “leads a Muslim away from Islam.” (Reliance of the Traveller O11.10 (3)) The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic […]
Afghanistan: Taliban arrest 14 people for playing music and singing
“‘Imran bin Husain narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: ‘In this Ummah there shall be collapsing of the earth, transformation and Qadhf.’ A man among the Muslims said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! When is that?’ He said: ‘When singing slave-girls, music, and drinking intoxicants spread.’” (Jami at-Tirmidhi 2212) “It was narrated from Abu Malik […]
