Just in case you believe...

Just in case you believe that the Muslim craze is confined to the Middle East, the Far East and Europe, I got news for you – it’s growing by leaps and bounds even on this continent. “ Tennessee imam: Jews and Christians filthy, their lives and property can be taken in jihad by the Muslims” There’s...

Yet another scandal – I’m losing count...

Unlike many others, I didn’t get my knickers in a knot over the fact that the W.H Amateur (according to Bill Clinton) is having the NSA collect meta-data of US telephone traffic for the purpose of providing clues to potential jihadist activity. It may indeed have helped in preventing some Muslim... Sign in to see full entry.

What Unravelling?

These days there is a lot of interesting commentary on the W.H. Amateur’s (according to Bill Clinton) performance in the international media. For instance, Daniel Pipes quotes Andrew Roberts, a well-known British historian, who writes in the magazine Standpoint: “[Obama is] credibly accused by the... Sign in to see full entry.

And here’s the latest on the Benghazi Disaster...

You may have forgotten about it by now, and if you have, the W.H. Amateur (according to Bill Clinton) and Hillary Clinton would like nothing better. Especially Hillary who, it’s been said, is thinking of running in ’16... The W.H. Amateur wouldn’t mind either if you forgot about it, even though with... Sign in to see full entry.

The Situation in Egypt: Deteriorating or Improving?

I guess it depends on your perspective... Of course, the country is in a mess! Here’s the latest from the Jerusalem Post: CAIRO - Hundreds of supporters and opponents of Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi clashed in two cities north of Cairo on Wednesday, throwing rocks and causing numerous injuries,...

Incompetence or Design?

As you will know by now, I have been suggesting that the W.H. Amateur’s (according to Bill Clinton) foreign policy has been a dismal failure because of his glaring incompetence. However, the article you’ll find below makes me think that I may be wrong. Maybe it’s not incompetence, or at least not... Sign in to see full entry.

“I’m only giving you what Islam says”...

If you really want to learn what Islam is all about, you have to study it; and yes, it does take some effort. But one of the interesting aspects of such study is that you don’t have to get too heavily into secondary sources, useful as they may be at times. Often it is sufficient to look at what...

So, the ‘Leaker’ has landed in Moscow...

...And the talking heads at CNN are all a-chatter, although I have better things to do than listen to them go on and on. Let me just say that this is not so much a repudiation of the U.S, but of the current U.S. administration. I have no doubt that it’s a reflection of Putin’s view of the W.H....

Weapons to Syria...

I have already commented on the W.H. Amateur’s (according to Bill Clinton) unspeakably stupid decision to help arm the Syrian ‘rebels.’ (I say ‘help’, since they’re already getting just about all the help they need from the Sunni states in the Middle East, Egypt, Qatar and particularly Saudi...

A new career path for American boys (not girls)…

The Muslim communities in the US are flourishing. Poking around a bit I found an interesting article bemoaning the lack of home-grown imams able to take care of the increasing numbers of the faithful, and containing some other interesting facts; it’s highly relevant even if it’s almost a year old,...
