Some European Politicians Are Waking Up…

To me and many others with an understanding of history the connection between Official Multiculturalism and aggressive Islamist jihadism in its various forms has always been obvious. It may even be clear to many (though certainly not all) of our politicians, but if so, they have been extremely... Sign in to see full entry.

Reflections on the Middle East…Part V

When starry-eyed Western liberals, among them many politicians and of course the bulk of the mass-media and their ‘analysts’ see fires burning in the streets of Cairo, they take that as the light of liberal democracy dawning over the Middle East. But it’s a false dawn. Westerners who hear the voices... Sign in to see full entry.

Once Again, Washington is Clueless…

For tonight I shall refrain from giving you more historical background for the current situation in the Middle East; I shall instead give the podium to one of the many knowledgeable Israeli voices. And I know you’ll be delighted to hear again from one of our favourites: Caroline Glick. Tonight she... Sign in to see full entry.

Reflections on the Middle East…Part IV

I’ve been here for five years now (my God, how time flies!), and although there were other occasions when I wasn’t terribly happy about what I had written, I have never been so ticked off at myself as this time, over my last three posts here. What was I thinking? In attempting to provide background,... Sign in to see full entry.

Reflections on the Middle East…Part III

I had better get going before events in Egypt overtake me, LOL. This brief ‘series’ is simply intended to provide a bit of background and show why my pessimism about the situation in Egypt is well founded. That is not to say I may not be wrong in my conclusions – I hope I will be. On the other hand,... Sign in to see full entry.

Reflections on the Middle East…Part II

I still have to say a few more words about the relationship between population and the economy, especially types of economy… You may well be familiar with most of this, but reminders are useful. To begin with, we have to remind ourselves that during the earliest part of human history, for hundreds... Sign in to see full entry.

Reflections on the Middle East…Part I

In the turbulent streets of North Africa and the Middle East we see history unfolding along cultural and economic fault lines usually hidden from view. In our Western media you find the usual mix of naiveté and wishful thinking in describing these events as ‘democratic protests’ or ‘democratic... Sign in to see full entry.

Apostates of Islam, I Salute You…

I came across an interesting site the other day – it’s called Apostates of Islam, and makes for some fascinating reading. Here’s the website if you want to check it out for yourself: http://www.apostatesofislam.com/index.htm I would especially urge any of our Blogitville Muslims and liberal...

For Once, Some Good News…

It isn’t often that I have the opportunity to post something positive about politicians – simply because they rarely give me that opportunity these days. But there are exceptions, and the article you’ll find below shows that we do have some people in Ottawa we can be proud of. Despite Threats,... Sign in to see full entry.

The ‘WTC Mosque’ Issue (Briefly) Revisited…

Let me begin by emphasizing that I don’t know the current status of this Muslim project, nor is that even important for my present purposes. But I was reminded of it when an acquaintance of mine made some remarks and wondered what ‘all the fuss’ was about. Hence this post. Let me remind you of the... Sign in to see full entry.
