Mythmaking

Current intelligence and media hype have catapulted Islamic extremist Abu Musab Zarqawi into international superterrorist status, gotten him a bounty of $25 million, and credited him with far more importance than he deserves. According to Australia's Age, a report recently claims that Zarqawi's role... Sign in to see full entry.

Beheadings

I have steered clear of the Abu Ghraib issue, not because I am a closet condoner of the abuses reported or in open opposition to the measures used extract information from prisoners. I will say, however, that although normally I would not condone such abuses and misuse of authority when dealing with... Sign in to see full entry.

Giving Aid To The Enemy

There are those who believe that the Islamic threat is merely the hobgoblin of little minds (and, believe me, I do hate to generalize that all Muslims are wrong-minded, but the core ideology is the same, no matter if they are Wahabbist or Shiite or Sunni or whatever), that those alarmists who scream...

No Matter How Ascetic, There Is Always A Money Trail

Washington Post staff reporter David Ottaway has written a very good article on the money trails that snake around the world from Saudi Arabia and into the United States. It illuminates the proliferation of the extreme Muslim fundamentalism preached by Wahhabists, the state-sponsored religion of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sadr Side Of Things In Iraq

It should be understood by now that no government proffered, aligned, augmented, supported or otherwise collaborating with the United States and/or the Coalition forces of the West within a Muslim state will stand. Sadr or someone of his fundamentalist-nationalist ilk (or merely someone with enough... Sign in to see full entry.

"Maybe It Is A World War."

“Maybe it is a world war.” I cannot get those words out of my head, they echo my own thoughts on the subject so closely. And they were voiced by a radical anti-American, anti-Western jihadist in a Time magazine article, “The New Jihad.” Not only does he and his fellow extremists fight to rid Iraq...

Turnover: A New Leaf For Iraq?

They transferred partial sovereignty over to Iraqi leaders today in a surprise move to outmaneuver insurgents bent on disrupting the turnover that was to take place on June 30. Full sovereignty will come when the Iraqis hold their election in January and the United Nations removes its troops from... Sign in to see full entry.

Tracking Terrorism

In my readings I have come across a website that may be of interest to those alarmed enough or curious enough to keep tabs on the growing threat of global terrorism. The site is the home of the Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) and can be accessed at www.siteinstitute.org. It is... Sign in to see full entry.

A Killing Here, A Killing There

It seems that Muslim militants are everywhere these days: eastern and northern Africa (most notably Somalia and Sudan), the entire Middle East, parts of the former Soviet republics, Southeast Asia, parts of Oceania. It is a scourge upon the earth, no less. With beheading all the rage, some militants... Sign in to see full entry.
