Treasury Department blacklists Iranian businessman in UAE and Islamic bank in Malaysia for financial support for Iran’s nuke program
And yet the U.S. is allowing Turkey and China to ignore the sanctions on doing business with Iran. As long as that continues, the sanctions themselves are toothless, and actions like this one are just window dressing. “U.S. targets companies accused of evading Iran sanctions,” by Timothy Gardner for Reuters, April 11: (Reuters) – The […]

A Day at the Museum by Bat Ye’or Translated from the French by Jean Szlamowicz Last December, as I had been invited to give a lecture at a conference on anti-Semitism in London (2nd December 2012), I decided to make a quick visit to the British Museum. I used to visit this shrine dedicated to […]
Sam Harris vs. Glenn Greenwald: “There is no such thing as ‘Islamophobia.’ This is a term of propaganda designed to protect Islam.”
Be sure to read this entire exchange between Sam Harris and Glenn Greenwald. It is extremely revealing of how the “Islamophobia” canard works: those who further this manipulative propaganda term tar anyone and everyone, no matter who he is or what else he has done or not done, with charges of “racism” and “bigotry” for […]

Egypt: Muslim cleric calls Morsi a “Zionist” who shares security interests with Israel
This is the kind of pressure that Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood President is under to discard the Camp David Accords and go to war with Israel.

Robert Spencer: Why Jews and Christians Must Unite In Defense Against the Global Jihad
Over at Atlas Shrugs I explain why Jews and Christians (and all others) must unite in defense of freedom against the global jihad and Islamic supremacism.

New York Times blames Lars Hedegaard for jihadi’s attempt to murder him, likens him to jihad terrorists
It is a commonplace of Islamic supremacist propaganda these days that there are “extremists” on both sides: jihad terrorists on the one hand, and counter-jihadists on the other. Never mind that counter-jihadists have never instigated or advocated any violence, and are defenders of the freedom of speech and the principle of the equality of rights […]
