Want to be inspired?

What we’ve all been waiting for, another issue of al-Qaeda’s web magazine ‘ Inspire ’ has finally come out. Mind you, it’s not all that easy to find. I have looked for it, but don’t have the time for a lengthy search, and haven’t found an original ‘copy’. Luckily there are those with more time for... Sign in to see full entry.

Thoughts on the The Geert Wilders Case...

My apologies to all my Blogit friends for neglecting you. What with travel and other urgent matters, I have simply been too busy to read much, let alone write anything. But I am back at home now, and hope to catch up with everyone soon. There are things I want to write about in my other blogs, but... Sign in to see full entry.

‘Islamophobia’ and the Jews…Part II

This is the second part of Isi Leibler’s article in the Jerusalem Post. I really don’t have much to add, although there is a remark of mine in square brackets. Candidly Speaking: Islamophobia and the Jews By ISI LEIBLER 27/09/2010 ….Alas, Jews who exaggerate the presence of Islamophobia become... Sign in to see full entry.

‘Islamophobia’ and the Jews…Part I

Jews are once again faced with an existential threat. And if those who are aching for the chance to perpetrate another Shoa believe they have the strength to carry it out with relative impunity, they will try. I treat this threat as a fact. If called upon, I could demonstrate its ‘facticity’ to just... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogger Refuses to Become a Muslim…

Well, this blogger anyway! Some Blogit blogger suggested once that putting the term ‘Blogger’ in the title is a sure way to get your piece read. I’m not sure that’s correct, but it’s worth a try. Because I do want people to read this, even though it’s actually not my own piece. But that’s really not... Sign in to see full entry.

The Koran-Burning Project Revisited…

Now that the excitement over Terry Jones’ Koran-burning project has died down, it might be instructive to consider its wider implications. At the time I thought that the reaction to what ended up as a ‘non-event’ offered an interesting glimpse of the current state of affairs with respect to the... Sign in to see full entry.

And the Islamist beat goes on…Part II

In Part II, Caroline Glick discusses Europe’s and America’s role in this development, and especially Obama’s failure to comprehend these issues. I have added a few comments in square brackets. Our World: Who lost Turkey? Caroline Glick, Jerusalem Post, 09/20/2010 …AS FOR the US, President Barack... Sign in to see full entry.

And the Islamist beat goes on…Part I

I was ‘away’, even more so over the last few days than before, away even from my current abode in Halifax, visiting friends in other parts of this beautiful province of Nova Scotia, dropping in on former colleagues at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, and spending time at the charming old...

9/11 Has Come and Gone…

And I had made some notes in preparation for a piece to be posted on that occasion. But as so often these days, other matters intervened, and I couldn’t complete it. However, the conflict for which this event has become an iconic representation continues to occupy much of my thinking, and I thought... Sign in to see full entry.

A Voice from Israel: “Pure, Unadulterated Barbarity”

As we are witnessing the beginning of peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, greeted by many with a public display of enthusiasm and optimism that may not exactly reflect their privately held expectations, a few remarks from this corner. Let me be absolutely clear on this: I am... Sign in to see full entry.
