Do NOT read this unless you have a strong stomach...

I am NOT posting this merely to show one man’s unspeakable depravity – we know human beings are capable of unspeakable depravity. And please don’t say such humans are animals – there is no such thing as a depraved animal! Depravity is a phenomenon unique to humans! So it is not this individual case...

On the life of ol’ Mo...Part III

Before going on to the final part of William Muir’s book, I want to answer an observation and a question; both are Wiley’s, and they were his response to Part II of this short series... The observation is one I have often encountered when people are confronted with certain phenomena prevalent in the... Sign in to see full entry.

On the life of ol’ Mo...Part II

Now we are getting to the second part of William Muir’s description of ol’ Mo’s character. And, as I have mentioned before, this is essentially taken directly from the Hadiths, which Muir was able to read in their original. In other words, all this is not ‘invented’ by some hostile infidel, but is... Sign in to see full entry.

On the life of ol’ Mo...Part I

Among other things, I’ve been reading William Muir’s book, Life of Mahomet, published in 1861; some of it ‘diagonally’ - it’s massive. Muir (1819 – 1905), a Scotsman, was an administrator in the British Colonial Service in India, and he also was a historian who spoke Arabic. Some of his writing will... Sign in to see full entry.

Al Gore and the Parade of Butts...

I have nothing against people with money! I am not one of those who believe ‘the rich’ are evil and ‘the poor’ are virtuous. I do believe that the distribution of human attributes is pretty well evenly distributed among all the classes, with the proviso that ‘the rich’ generally smell better, have...

The Muslim Brotherhood in the White House?...Part II

This is the second part of Moore ’s article, which in turn is based on the piece in the Egyptian magazine. In my next post, I may address some of the comments people have made in response to this post... Direct link The Egyptian magazine noted Alikhan is a founder of the World Islamic Organization,...

The Muslim Brotherhood in the White House?...Part I

As I have pointed out on numerous occasions, I do not concern myself with US domestic affairs, but I will address issues of foreign policy. I have also written about the Muslim Brotherhood, as those few who read this blog are undoubtedly aware. Now, I know actually quite a bit about the Ikhwan and... Sign in to see full entry.

So now it’s John Kerry...

So John Kerry has been confirmed as the Amateur’s (according to Bill Clinton) new foreign secretary. Will he be better than Hillary Clinton? Whose sorry performance during the hearings on the Benghazi disaster should have completely destroyed her chances for running in 2016, had it not been for the... Sign in to see full entry.

Are the riots in Egypt a bad thing or a good thing?

Whether the recent developments in Egypt are a good thing or a bad thing depends on your point of view. If you’re an Islamonazi, they’re a very bad thing, because it is becoming clear that fewer Egyptians than you (and we!) thought have bought into your program. If you are the Amateur in the White...

And about the situation in Egypt...

It is very interesting to me that the Amateur in the White House (according to Bill Clinton) is “strongly condemning the violence in Egypt.” Now, he must have been informed by his people that much (though not all) of that violence is directed against the new Islamonazi dictator Morsi and his...
