The usually reliably dhimmi Philadelphia Inquirer has unaccountably printed this generally accurate overview of the present conflict: “One Last Thing | Post-9/11 conflicts rooted in history: It’s not just Afghanistan, Iraq and a ‘war on terror.’ It’s the West vs. the Islamic world, a clash that has never abated.” By Jonathan Last (thanks to Kaosktrl): […]

Fitzgerald: Keep Tariq Ramadan out
Tariq Ramadan has once again been disallowed entry into the United States. Who will translate into English “Frere Tariq” by Catherine Fourest, which tells you all you need to know? Now that Ramadan has been exposed in France, both through his televised debates and through articles and books by no-nonsense people who set out his […]
Fitzgerald: A tribute to Henry Kissinger
Henry Kissinger’s accent has deepened ever since his Sammy-Glick days working for Nelson Rockefeller and training those Future Leaders of the World at Harvard Summer School (making his contacts, filling his Rolodex, spreading his fame, making his moves). He did all this no doubt to the chagrin of those who, purely in intellect but not […]
Fitzgerald: Podsnaps all
“…Mr Podsnap settled that whatever he put behind him he put out of existence. There was a dignified conclusiveness–not to add a grand convenience–in this way of getting rid of disagreeables which had done much towards establishing Mr Podsnap in his lofty place in Mr Podsnap’s satisfaction. ‘I don’t want to know about it; I […]

Fitzgerald: A farce, but not by Feydeau
Azzam Tamimi insists on telling the truth: of course there is no such thing as “European Islam.” There is no different text of Qur’an and Hadith and Sira stamped “European edition.” Islam does not offer different versions of its immutable texts, the texts that inhibit free and skeptical inquiry, or any possible interpretive escape, a […]
In Christian-Muslim relations, peace not served by ignoring history
Honesty and realism, i.e., anti-dhimmitude, from Charles Chaput, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Denver (thanks to Uncle Jeff): …Catholics who do know history may remember the following: Islam has embraced armed military expansion for religious purposes since its earliest decades. In contrast, Christianity struggled in its divided attitudes toward military force and state power for its […]
Malkin: Welcome to theater of jihad absurd
A terrific Michelle Malkin column on the Qana jihad propaganda: Welcome to the marquee performance of “Qana: The Fraud and the Furious,” brought to you by the Acting Guild of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage. The drama unfolded over last weekend with mob scenes across the Muslim world, ostensibly — ostensibly — in response to […]
Jihad playbook
More on the Al-Qaeda manual that reveals the sophistication and careful planning of the mujahedin. “Terror’s playbook,” from the New York Daily News, : Most Americans know that Al Qaeda and its franchises are willing to sink to any depth to destroy the United States. But few people realize just how deep those depths are. […]
