Palestine ‘Refugees’…

As a follow-up on my previous post, which demonstrates even Arabs admitting that the ‘Palestinians’ are an invented people, let me show you another aspect, one that is central to the whole ‘Palestinian’ issue: their claim to ‘the right of return.’ Before passing you on to Daniel Pipes, whose article...

Another Islamic Leader Admits the Truth…

Dr. Daniel Shayesteh is an Iranian Muslim apostate, who has made it his task to convey to the world what Islamists say when they are speaking to one another in Arabic, rather than when they speak to the world at large. Here he is reporting on statements made by Fathi Hammadi, a Hamas official, who... Sign in to see full entry.

The Camel’s Nose is in the Tent…

The Ontario Ministry of Education does not monitor private schools, unless they issue degrees and high school diplomas, that is. It’s a policy of very long standing, and one that is in principle unobjectionable. Aside from some of the prominent private schools with levels of excellence far exceeding...

The Iranian ‘Negotiating Farce' Continues…

While Obama and other Western leaders are once again allowing themselves to be drawn into Iran’s Punch & Judy show of ‘negotiations’, threatening ‘sanctions’ where there should be no sanctions left in the bag, and fully aware the Ayatollahs are keeping the enrichment centrifuges spinning merrily,...

Maybe Ol’ Mo is like Santa Claus…

Social science recognizes that in many ways reality is a ‘social construct’; which means that when people treat something as ‘real’, it is real for them, and has to be understood even by others as part of ‘social reality.’ That is particularly true when it comes to myths, whether those of a...

US Academic Watches in Despair as Egypt Unravels…Part II

Much of the remainder of Kessel’s article on Dr. Stock’s view of Egypt deals with the prospects of the country’s relations with Israel, and what follows must be understood against the background of the recent Egyptian Islamic uprising. Mubarak, who was certainly no democrat, was nonetheless a man... Sign in to see full entry.

US Academic Watches in Despair as Egypt Unravels…Part I

Aside from Iran the most important country in the Middle East is Egypt. (Yes, there is Saudi Arabia, but it’s a special case.) I spent a bit of time reading and familiarizing myself with some background, and subsequently wrote a few posts. And you may recall that, all things considered, I am... Sign in to see full entry.

More on the ‘Arab Spring’…

When Obama declared in his Cairo speech, back in 2009, that “There’s one rule that lies at the heart of every religion – that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us,” he either showed his ignorance of Islam, or he decided to lie for the ‘benefit’ of his Western audience, an audience that...

Fruits of the ‘Arab Spring’…

Not that long ago I wrote a bit about the OIC’s aim to virtually eliminate criticism of Islam from public discourse by having such criticism declared criminal. Of course, their efforts are couched in terms palatable to liberals in the West, whose benighted ‘political correctness’ is impervious to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Islamic tsunami’s parallel is the rise of anti-Semitism...

For a long time now, I have been appalled by the way in which traditional anti-Semitism has been made ‘respectable’ by dressing it up in the rhetoric of ‘freeing occupied Palestine ’, a country that never existed. Occasionally, in rare moments of honesty, even Muslim Arabs admit that. Remember... Sign in to see full entry.
