Why the wrong answer is killing the West, including America Introduction: An Epistemological Malady In his 2010 book, Revelation: Do We Worship the Same God? [1], Mark Durie addresses what is at stake when it comes to the “Same God Question”: The traditional Islamic view is that if you want to know what the God of […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Schengenland And Its Discontents
After World War II, under the leadership of the French statesmen Jean Monnet and others, European governments were determined to find ways to bind their countries together in ways that might prevent the 20th century catastrophes from being repeated. Their first effort, not unnaturally, was to create in 1951 the European Coal and Steel Community, […]
The hypnotic dance of death
The cultural totalitarianism of the postmodern era did the impossible: it changed the very nature of man In my correspondence regarding the events in Cologne, an editor of a Russian newspaper asked a natural but discouraging question. Perplexed, he asked me: “Where were the German men?” Indeed, for those of us who grew up in […]
Syrian refugees admitted into US since Paris jihad murders in November: 525 Muslims, 1 Christian
Relax, kaffir. What could possibly go wrong? Barack Obama and John Kerry have magic powers that shelter them from the consequences of their actions. They need not be concerned about the fact that in February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Task You Have Taken Upon Yourself
In the Western world, almost 15 years after the 9/11 attacks, and after many thousands of other terrorist attacks by Muslims, why are Western publics still so ill-informed about Islam? One reason has to do with the way people now find out, not only about Islam, but about so much else. The Internet has helped […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Sticking to the Details
Each day brings news of fresh problems — even horrors — that are the result of the Muslim invasion of Europe. Millions of Muslims have been attempting to enter Europe — 1.1 million have managed this year to settle in Germany alone. Many of these migrants are from Syria, and many others pretend to be […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Ten Things to Think When Thinking of Muslim “Moderates”
Note from Robert Spencer: The “moderate” Muslim never dies, and I thought that this 2004 Hugh Fitzgerald discussion of the “moderate Muslim” bears re-posting now. There are some references clearly reflecting the year of composition, but not a word has been changed, for it has stood, we think, the test of time — certainly compared […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Francis, Far From Infallible
At the beginning of every year, the Pope delivers an address in Rome to welcome the foreign diplomatic corps accredited to the Vatican. Pope Francis, a nice guy, has just delivered such a speech. It deserves attention. The main theme of Francis’s speech is immigration, the mass movement of peoples, now this way and now […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Good News: Muslim Yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ While Driving Into Troops Not Charged with Terrorism
Over at PJ Media I discuss a recent recurrence of the ubiquitous denial: Relax. The “Frenchman of Tunisian descent” (as Reuters described him) who drove his car at French troops — who were, ironically enough, guarding a mosque — was no terrorist. He just had a “fit of anger” according to Prosecutor Alex Perrin of Valence, […]
London Mayor: Worried about Islamic jihad terror? Remember the Alhambra
Johnson’s tortured reasoning here appears to be that, well, see, Muslims made a great civilization in Europe once, and so they may do it again, instead of simply mounting jihad terror attacks and promising imminent takeover. Very well. Maybe they will, but there doesn’t seem to be much genuine intellectual ferment among Muslims in the […]
