Reflections on the Islamization of Europe…Part I

A friend of mine recently returned from Europe. His first, and on the return-trip also his last stop was London, where he spent a few days each time. He hadn’t been there in a while, and when I asked him about his experiences, his very first word was, ‘Whew!’ It is probably impossible not to find... Sign in to see full entry.

Muslims Throw Their Women Overboard…

As the result of the ‘democratic revolutions’ taking place in the Middle East, new waves of Muslims are literally forcing their way into Europe. And our Media are silent… Here is an article that’ll give you an idea of the scope of the problem, and the horrific tragedies being played out there. You... Sign in to see full entry.

The Case of Turkey…Part II

This is the second part of Caroline Glick’s piece on the Turkish situation. Read it and weep... ‘ In less than 10 years, the AKP regime has dismantled Turkey ’s strategic alliance with Israel. It has inculcated the formerly tolerant if not pro- Israel Turkish public with virulent anti-Semitism. It... Sign in to see full entry.

The Case of Turkey…Part I

Not surprisingly, the eyes of the Western media are focused on the more dramatic events in the Middle East. But there have been other developments which have largely escaped notice, even though they are of far-reaching importance. One reason they are significant is that they show a trend that belies...

Fun with Fatwas…

A friend of mine recently asked me about fatwas. He was reading Salman Rushdie’s The Enchantress of Florence, and reading that novel he was wondering if the fatwa against the author was still in place. He asked me, “What exactly is a fatwa anyway - is it an expression for some kind of curse?” To... Sign in to see full entry.

Mr. Bergen’s Error…Part V

If, as I suggested in the previous post, jihadists see themselves as revolutionaries with a goal whose ‘distance’ is immaterial to them as long as they are working towards it, they not only have more time, they have another psychological advantage over us. They are working towards establishing a... Sign in to see full entry.

Mr. Bergen’s Error…Part IV

It is not likely that Anwar al-Awlaki read my Series entitled ‘The Islamist Tsunami’, written back in ’06, although not impossible, of course, since he was still around in these parts. For anyone interested, it begins here: http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos/422393 His choice of title... Sign in to see full entry.

Mr. Bergen’s Error…Part III

You may now begin to see why I raised the whole issue of time, and why I am convinced Bergen is in error. He has failed to understand that the Muslim-Arab world and particularly its militant factions have a different attitude towards time, and think in time-frames different from North American or...

Mr. Bergen’s Error…Part II

Where were we? Oh yes, I mentioned time. Time, this mysterious ‘something’ that we all ‘know’, but don’t really understand. Some of you may remember my series on Time, where I discussed some of these things, including the fact that some very bright people think that time doesn’t even exist. At least...

Offences against Reason…

Before continuing to discuss Peter Bergen’s ‘error’, I feel compelled to go back to another issue. A couple of posts ago I touched briefly on Jones' burning of a Koran and called it a ‘stupid’ act, since it was inevitable to cause Muslims to become enraged, and hence made the task of our troops in...
