Obama chose, early on, the egregious and execrable Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter’s man. Does Obama really wish to be associated with Jimmy Carter in any way? Brzezinski helped Carter abandon the Shah (with Gary Sick playing his little role as an “Iran expert”), though I doubt that Brzezinski had a hand in composing Carter’s treacly letter […]

The Last Patriot: Worse than Spencer’s books!
Islamophobia in fiction! Ho-gannnn!!! The former Nixon aide and convert to Islam Bob Crane (whose lackluster commitment to truth and accuracy I discussed here and here) reviews Brad Thor’s blockbuster novel The Last Patriot, and finds it (gasp) worse than Spencer’s books! “BOOK REVIEW: The Last Patriot: Islamophobia Triumphant in an Islamic da Vinci Code,” […]
Fitzgerald: A sign of weakness?
Obama, if elected, may be reluctant to do what McCain, if he could be made to see the Jihad in its worldwide context (especially the problems of Da’wa, demographic conquest, and the Money Weapon deployed in the countries of Western Europe) might more easily and swiftly do. After all, McCain doesn’t have to prove, so […]
Pakistani writer speaks out against “the absurdity that characterises this part of the world”
A bit of sanity in Pakistan. He said it: if I had, it would be “Islamophobia” — but Farooq Sulehria tells Muslims to stop blaming others for all their troubles, and to take responsibility themselves for the sorry state of the Islamic world. “Blaming others,” by Farooq Sulehria in Pakistan’s The News International, June 17 […]
Fitzgerald: Hate crimes involving Muslims
The UN’s Doudou Diène was recently in the United States, looking for “hate crimes” involving Muslims. And there have been all kinds of “hate crimes” involving Muslims in the United States. There was the Muslim from Saudi Arabia who, in a fit of islamitude, slit the throat of his former, and too-trusting, supposed close friend, […]
Spencer: War On Terror Ends?
More on Washington’s new Orwellian turn, in my Human Events column this week: Good news: the war on terror is over! Charles Allen, the Department of Homeland Security”s senior intelligence official, said last week that American officials should stop calling this conflict we”re in a “war on terror,” far less the president’s term, the “global […]
Fitzgerald: Cutting out Islam’s heart to undercut a few Infidels
In one of this articles criticizing Robert Spencer, CAIR”s Omar Subhani wrote this: Fitzgerald says that when Muslims say jihad is really a spiritual struggle they are not telling the truth. He asserts that the hadith that states that the struggle against the ego is the greater jihad has weak chains of transmission and he […]
“The theory and practice of jihad ““ bin Laden’s foreign policy ““ was not concocted in the Pentagon; it is directly derived from the Koran and the hadith, Islamic tradition”
Over at Atlas Shrugs, Fjordman reviews the great Ibn Warraq’s essential new book, Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said’s Orientalism. A couple of highlights: Amidst the praise he gives the West, Ibn Warraq warns that the “golden threads” running through this civilization – rationalism, universalism and self-criticism — can sometimes turn into liabilities: […]
Fitzgerald: Another case for the annals of idiocy
“Political science professor Michael Ross argues in a new paper that oil booms put more men than women into the workforce and decrease women’s political representation. “As a result, oil-producing states are left with atypically strong patriarchal norms, laws, and political institutions,” writes Ross, a professor at the University of California Los Angeles. Ross argues […]
Fitzgerald: The Sudan, American Power, and Samantha Power
Samantha Power is one of the two people (the other is Nicholas Kristof) whose careers have benefited from their deep expressed concern over the situation in Darfur. No one in particular made a career out of the mass-murder of non-Muslims in southern Sudan, now about to be put back into full gear, or seemed as […]
