Leahy’s got some things right, others still wrong…

The former Australian Army Chief of Staff, now Professor Peter Leahy of the University of Canberra has more of a historian’s view of the world than many, capable of comprehending periods of time that go far beyond that of the average politician’s four-year span and even that of most citizens.

Today, a SANE Voice…

Those few who have the courage to read what I have been writing about here for quite a while now – years, actually, LOL – will know I have come to the conclusion the Islamic disease can be cured only from within. Muslims need to confront the violence and intolerance imbedded in their ‘sacred’ texts,... Sign in to see full entry.

Immoderate Voices...

Al Tauba 9:5 But when the forbidden months are past then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them and seize them beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity then open the way for them: for...

I don’t even know where to begin…Part IV

Today my time is rather limited, so I’ll just answer comments again. Here’s Jimmy’s: Maybe we can't bomb them into complete submission, but I say, let's give it a try… And Kabu’s (in part): Well Ok Naut...Maybe bombing isn't the answer but at least it is doing something. You have gone on here in... Sign in to see full entry.

I don’t even know where to begin…Part III

But I shall begin! And since the beginning is so complicated, I shall start with the conclusion, my conclusion, that is – just give me a few minutes... I have told you a lot about Islam, what it is and what it is not. And of course the apologists here tell me I’m wrong because I don’t speak Arabic... Sign in to see full entry.

I don’t even know where to begin…Part II

And I still don‘t, at least when I’m thinking of the main topic, so I’ll respond to a few comments today. Two of them I can deal with together: First there’s serioushelpneeded, who writes: “WAR HERO???????? I keep hearing this war hero crap about Mc Cain. The man got shot down and captured. They...

I don’t even know where to begin…

Last Monday there was this big conference in Paris on how to deal with the Islamic State. I remember a week or so ago Kerry was talking about 40 countries, but in Paris the number had shrunk to 26. Anyway, they sat around and talked a lot, and I’m sure they all had a pretty good time – I mean, how... Sign in to see full entry.

Useful Idiots…

Remember the term ‘useful idiots’? It was used by Lenin to describe Westerners, mainly socialist politicians and intellectuals, who spoke in glowing terms of the new paradise being established in Russia, the dawn of a new and glorious age for all humanity, which, under Stalin, killed about 30...

It’s a DUCK…

You know the old story: If it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck – it’s a duck! Obama and British PM David Cameron insist that, even if it does all that, it’s still not a duck – and apparently many people believe them; they are clearly giving these two credit for...

I’m no longer the only one…Hurray!

Something I have told you for years now, though very few of you have believed me (many will no longer even read me, disgusted with my racist, Islamophobic nonsense – ‘he doesn’t even speak Arabic, what does he know?’ LOL) – is finally beginning to dawn on a few people! The cracks in the in the walls... Sign in to see full entry.
