I-F, The Veiled Presence…Part XXVI (A Former Terrorist Speaks)...

In spite of recently voiced rumors to the contrary, and since it appears to be a difficult notion to grasp, let me reiterate that I do not deny the existence of large numbers of moderate Muslims – what concerns me is their silence. And their silence is tolerated and, in a sense, made possible by the... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F, The Veiled Presence…Part XXV (A PoetRaye Special)…

Dear PoetRaye, I think our ‘debate’ has come to an end. To be quite frank, I am getting a little tired of your subtly insulting tone. “People like yourself?” What ‘people like myself’ do you have in mind? Let me guess: Biased? ‘Baselessly’ paranoid? Maybe even racist bigots? Let me assure you, none... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F, The Veiled Presence…Part XXIV (A Message from Mr. A.)…

One of the most persistent myths circulating in the West is that Islam is a religion of peace, or even a Religion of Peace, LOL. Not really surprising, since Islamists trumpet that message relentlessly, and it is of course further disseminated by our media, for all the beautiful reasons of... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F, The Veiled Presence…Part XXIII (There will also be talk of mice...)

I had originally planned to address another point, but PoetRaye’s latest comments got my attention, and made me change direction, slightly. She writes, in part: “Well, Naut, it seems to me that your research and writing is selective and subjective - hope this doesn't offend, but I call them as I see... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F, The Veiled Presence…Part XXII (Are Women Buses?)

Lack of time prevents me from doing much writing of my own today. PoetRaye made a couple of comments to my previous post, and I do welcome them. For now let me just say. ‘Thank you, PR, I know you mean well, but as so often, because you tend to raise a number of issues at once, kind of shotgun... Sign in to see full entry.

Islamo-Fascism, The Veiled Presence…Part XXI

Today we shall resume our debate, using another of PoetRaye’s comments as our starting point. She chides me mildly for a) given you a wrong impression, b) for turning opinion into fact and c) for omitting that the Koran warns against wife beating; she also tells me that the majority of Muslims do...

Islamo-Fascism: The Veiled Presence…Part XX

Tonight a change of pace again, before we resume the debate, which offers some more interesting and above all instructive ‘clarifying moments.’ The piece you find below was sent to me by Betty Chatterjee, better known as Elinjo in Blogit circles, with whom I am keeping up a friendly correspondence....

I-F: The Veiled Presence…Part XIX (Wife-Beating Special)

Well, well, we do have ourselves a debate. In her comments PoetRaye is certainly determined to demonstrate that my interpretation of things Koranic is merely subjective and hence probably erroneous. And she’s bringing to bear her (or somebody’s) knowledge of the Arab language as well her conviction... Sign in to see full entry.

Islamo-Fascism: The Veiled Presence…Part XVIII

Some of my readers have become a bit testy - they’re sick of hearing about Islam, LOL. I don’t blame them – so am I, actually. However, the widening influence of Islamo-Fascism is the fundamental political problem of our age, the often unrecognized or at least unacknowledged subtext to many of... Sign in to see full entry.

Islamo-Fascism: The Veiled Presence…Part XVII

Between watching several of the goings-on at the Olympics I was checking out the Jerusalem Post last night, which I do regularly, and which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to know what’s really going on in the Middle East, as well as in other places. Among other things, that paper has the... Sign in to see full entry.
