News from the ‘Front’…

The few who read this blog know what to expect – it’s either about Islam or about Israel. Why is my ‘political’ blog, with seemingly mind-numbing regularity, confined to these two topics? Well, even though many people, either out of ignorance or because of their political convictions will deny it,... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Assassinations, Two Worlds…

In a terrible tragedy on January 8, an American Congresswoman and thirteen more were gravely injured in an assassination attempt, and six people were killed, including a little girl. The perpetrator was caught, has been charged, and will be dealt with according to law. Aside from a few nutbars who... Sign in to see full entry.

A Thinking Liberal’s View of Israel…Part II

Here’s the sequel to Dr. Harris’ piece that I posted yesterday. Now, nothing he writes here is news to me, I have over time written about or at least mentioned some of it myself. And you also may be familiar with all of this – if so, forgive me for being repetitive, but it helps sometimes to get... Sign in to see full entry.

A Thinking Liberal’s View of Israel…Part I

In the past few posts I have regaled you with tales of the way ancient fantasies are bedeviling our lives to this day. But I feel compelled to add that this fact does not translate into a demand for getting rid of all ancient fantasies. That, among other things, was Marx’ project when he spoke of...

Ol’ Mo and Santa – What’s the Connection? Part IV (Final)

Well, in a sense we’ve come full circle. Having spent the previous three posts talking largely about the world of fantasy, with occasional glimpses at the world of historical fact, we shall now look squarely at some of today’s reality. And that reality entails that there are people in the world who,... Sign in to see full entry.

Ol’ Mo and Santa – What’s the Connection? Part III

Now, I think I have reasonably well established that Santa’s exploits are, shall we say, more or less confined to the world of fantasy. I say ‘more or less’ because one could argue that the ‘less’ might apply if you look at the whole situation from the point of view of say, a four-year old; while... Sign in to see full entry.

Ol’ Mo and Santa – What’s the Connection? Part II

Some people say, so alright, Ol’ Mo made up that story about his trip to Heaven, just as we’ve made up the story of Santa cruising around the world in his sleigh, but aside from the fact that it says more about the people who believe this stuff than about Mo, who cares? Good point! Except it does... Sign in to see full entry.

Ol’ Mo and Santa – What’s the Connection? Part I

This being the time of year it is, I thought it might be fun to examine the question posed in the title of this post. On the face of it, there could hardly be a greater difference between the rotund and jolly old elf who delights children at Christmas, and the probably fairly lean Arab bandit who,...

Britain’s Disease…

In the face of the ever more discouraging news coming out of Europe, particularly Britain, it is difficult to maintain one’s optimism and any semblance of hope that things will somehow improve. I am not talking about the economic situation in the Euro-Zone (to which Britain doesn’t belong anyhow),... Sign in to see full entry.

Islam and the Failure of Feminism…

Those of you who have been reading me for a while may recall that on a number of occasions I have expressed my concern over the silence of the vast majority of Muslims about the crimes committed in the name of Islam by Islamo-Fascist jihadists. You may also remember that I have expressed my surprise... Sign in to see full entry.
