Reflections on the Origins of our Malaise...Part II

A couple of comments by a couple of regular readers, one by Tzippy and particularly one by Sinome, prompt me to write another a brief post on this topic, only to clear up a misunderstanding. When I made reference to Bruckner’s views being informed by the ‘psychoanalytic paradigm’, I did not mean to... Sign in to see full entry.

Reflections on the Origins of our Malaise...

These days I like to read books that offer perspectives different from my own, or I read books for information. (And reflecting on all this, it occurs to me that I no longer read many novels, which I regret, because I used to like novels, and still do…) But sometimes I encounter books I don’t have...

Onwards, Iran marches…

While we are fearfully waiting for the devastation of Boobquake, as predicted by the eminent Imam Sedighi (who, incidentally, is not just the Muslim equivalent of a country parson, but ensconced in the upper regions of the Iranian theocracy), let us get on to possibly more serious matters, not...

I-F: Mo the Teddy Bear - the U.S. Version of the Danish Cartoons? Part III

This story has legs, as they say in journalism circles. Today there was more on CNN about this episode, and as far as I am concerned, that’s a good thing. Actually, it is a very good thing, because it may force a debate on important issues. It may, in some miraculous way, begin to induce the ‘silent... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F: Mo the Teddy Bear - the U.S. Version of the Danish Cartoons? Part II

Here is a little more on and by that fine New York organization, the Muslim Revolution. Abu Talhal al Amrikee (Abu the American) has more to say about their ‘warning’ to Parker and Stone; and at the end you’ll find an edifying message from another chap by name of Younes Mohammed, who acknowledges...

I-F: Mo the Teddy Bear - the U.S. Version of the Danish Cartoons?

The other day South Park aired a show in which Muhammad apparently showed up dressed as a bear. I didn’t watch that show (I have never watched South Park ) and I have no clue what story line would require ol’ Mo to appear as a bear. But this rather boring event was made interesting by the fact that... Sign in to see full entry.

Discussing I-F and Israel: A Few Procedural Observations…

While I was making notes to myself in preparation for another post, I got sort of side-tracked in my thinking and ended up putting down what you read below. I got side-tracked because of a recent comment. While it obviously pains some people, I intend to continue discussing what I consider to be one... Sign in to see full entry.

Ed Koch speaks out about Israel...

I have talked a lot about silence – the silence of the wider Muslim community about Islamo-Fascism, and the silence, particularly on the part of American Jews, about Obama’s treatment of Israel. I hadn’t planned writing about that tonight, and had actually begun a post on a different, though not... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F: Did Obama have a Chat with Erdogan?

I have a several things on my plate, and haven’t found much time to read you, let alone write. But in view of recent developments, such as Obama’s Israel policies as well as his astonishing directive that henceforth we (well, at least Americans ) must no longer talk of Islamist terrorism (which many...

“Jews can’t afford to be Liberal…” Part II

My previous post, as you may recall, consisted mainly of an article by Shmuley Boteach, in which he spoke of American Jewry’s lamentably short-sighted voting behavior. However, there was one observation in Boteach’s piece I wanted to address, but did not have the time for then. Yet address it I... Sign in to see full entry.
