But I never got one like this before. Probably I […]

Mercer: ‘Islamikazes’ in our midst
Ilana Mercer has an excellent column in WND, with thanks to The One Who Must Not Be Named. Those who talk up the root causes of Muslim disaffection are cultural relativists with a difference. For example, they’ll be the first to point to how ignorant we are of the centrality of honor in Arab culture. […]
Watson: Risk management: Islam, the West’s unmanageable liability
DC Watson on reality and dhimmi wishful thinking: The warnings came for decades.

Syndicated columnist Deroy Murdock compares the rights of homosexuals in the West and in the Islamic world. This weekend’s Gay Pride festivities in New York City climaxed with Sunday”s 36th annual parade down Fifth Avenue.

“The Radical-Islamist Threat to World Peace and National Security”
In a world in which a US diplomatic official can assert that “the events of September 11 have brought into sharper focus the importance of recognizing and respecting religious diversity in America and around the world,” one of the chief problems we face is the near-universal unwillingness to face squarely what we are really up […]
