Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Last week, a story broke that received surprisingly little attention from the MSM: a 14 year old Bangladeshi girl, after first being raped, was then accused of adultery and beaten to death. I say “surprisingly” because, since the women’s lib era, the dominant trope on the Left when it comes
Continue readingActually, it’s not a new face at all — it goes back to Mohammed himself, and his paranoid, resentful rants when the Jews refused to accept him as a prophet. What makes it new is that, thanks to the modern age and the Leftist media, these messages, which used to
Continue readingMy sister, who is fairly non-political, thinks it’s a dreadful thing that so many Americans think Obama is a Muslim. She was shocked when I suggested that Americans are not alone in this belief. I started with a classic Jewish joke: Sammy gets rich and buys himself a yacht. He
Continue readingMark Steyn harmonizes with my thoughts about liberal wars and multiculturalism, and Andy McCarthy gives an in-depth, erudite analysis of something I’ve also pointed out before: the totalitarian statism that ties together the Left and radical Islam.
Continue readingMy condolences to the family and friends of the two airmen killed in Germany. And my best wishes for a safe and speedy recovery for the two airmen who are seriously wounded. And a plague and a pox on the media which tries so desperately to hide that this was
Continue readingI got the following email. I don’t know the essay’s true provenance, but the sentiments expressed are interesting, especially if it did indeed originate in EuropeL ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez and published in
Continue readingI’m reading a thriller written in 1987. The bad guys are Soviet spies. They’re really bad. That was par for the course with Cold War thrillers. H0w many thrillers can you name now that have radical Islamists as the bad guys? I know there are a handful, but usually the
Continue readingIf you want a good lesson in the depth, breadth and virulence of Muslim antisemitism, Andrew Bostom provides it. Then think long and hard about the fact that the current administration is siding with these Muslims at the United Nations. I’m still struggling to come to terms with the appalling
Continue readingYour matched set for today: Andy McCarthy writes about the elephant in the liberal living room; namely, Islamic attitudes towards rape: Women are almost always asking for it, especially Western women, and, once having forced an innocent man to give in to his base animal nature, they deserve to be
Continue readingRobert Avrech, at Seraphic Secret, nails the dirty secret underlying all the “democracy” revolutions in the Muslim world. They’re not about individual freedom. They’re about Jew hatred. I saw another link that made precisely the same point and, as soon as (or, rather, if) I track it down, I’ll update
Continue readingLet’s think about Israel from the Israeli viewpoint for a minute, shall we? It is, by any standards, an extremely small country. Within its own borders, it is a sophisticated Western-style nation that leads the world in scientific innovation. Its political system is a parliamentary style democratic republic. Although its
Continue readingPakistan? No. Britain! If the British government, under PM Cameron is serious about cutting down the multiculturalism monster, this is a good place to start. Old multi-culti pieties prevented British institutions from daring to criticize the Muslims amongst them. A serious commitment to Western values would mean cracking down on
Continue readingThe Archbishopric of Canterbury used to be a pretty important job. The guy who held that position, going back to the earliest Middle Ages, was the premier leader of the English church, whether that church gave allegiance to Rome or the British Monarch. The current Archbishop, Rowan Williams is, as
Continue readingOne of the things the Leftist multiculturalists refuse to acknowledge is that Islam does not assimilate. Individual practitioners of the faith may, periodically and superficially, espouse the culture in which they live, but the fact remains that Islam, by its nature, is the Borg. Borg-like, the Islam collective’s motto is
Continue readingWhen I read that the Obama administration is good with having the Muslim Brotherhood on board in Egypt, because it’s really not such a bad organization, I keep thinking of 1930’s rationalizations about Mussolini: He made the trains run on time. Surely our standards of decency are higher than that?
