A Christmas Message…

It’s getting close to Christmas, in our culture a time dear to Christians and non-Christians alike, a time for joy, love, friendship and good cheer! And I thought it really wasn’t the time to post stuff about the nastiness out there… And then I thought – wait a minute, isn’t this exactly the time... Sign in to see full entry.

Just a moment…

As the world’s attention (such as it is) is focused on the Sunni Muslim menace in the form of ISIS and others (the Boko Haram outfit has just abducted another 180 people or so), Obama tries to close another ‘legacy deal’ with the Shia Muslims of Iran, no less a menace. … Yes, I know – it’s not just...

It always gets back to the source…

It really makes little difference that many moderates do not agree with all of this – the root problem is the ‘divine message’! And as long as that message remains part of the package, true believers will act accordingly, as they have throughout history when the conditions allowed. And because we no...

Back to the 2nd century AD…

In keeping with their 7 th century beliefs, Muslims are reaching back, way back… Waging war against infidels and the civilized world, they’ve revived a weapon once used when the tribes inhabiting what is now Iraq defended themselves against the Roman legions. Here’s the latest… ISIS launch SCORPION... Sign in to see full entry.

Remember Pravda?

Well, it’s still around – once the official public voice of the USSR’s Communist Party, it’s again the official paper of the The Communist Party of the Russian Federation, after an interregnum by some Greek tycoons. But while a mere shadow of its powerful presence in former days, and neither the... Sign in to see full entry.

European Voices…

We here in North America haven’t got a clue yet…But they do now have a clue in Europe, even though it’s still very dangerous to express certain truths... Take the case of Geert Wilders, an elected politician and leader of the ever more popular Party for Freedom PVV), who of course has understodd the... Sign in to see full entry.

The latest out of Jerusalem

I cannot find an equivalent in our own cultural experience that would resonate with people, so I shall simply describe the barest, almost skeletal details of this bizarre situation... Jerusalem ’s Temple was destroyed in 70 AD by the Romans, although one of the walls as well as the Temple Mount... Sign in to see full entry.

Not just Europeans are flocking to the cause…

Americans and even Canadians are joining the war in increasing numbers – and they rarely if ever come from the ranks of the downtrodden! Unless it’s someone from a Muslim family, it’s usually a ‘seeker after meaning’ who converts to Islam, and quickly decides to become one of Allah’s warriors… Like... Sign in to see full entry.

A lost opportunity?

Yesterday I wrote about some stupid remarks by Pope Francis, and I spent some time thinking about the whole problem, the disease of Islam that appears to be darkening our world inexorably… And thinking back, it occurs to me that there was a moment, back in 2006, when we had an opportunity to bring...

A ‘politically correct’ Pope?

One of the consequences of ‘political correctness’ is the utter failure of Western politicians and ‘spiritual leaders’ to even acknowledge the ever growing menace of Islam, let alone confront it. Yes, I know we’re fighting ‘terrorists’ – spare me… I have mentioned it before, and I have also drawn... Sign in to see full entry.
