Hillary’s Uphill Fight Against Sexual Violence

Posted on August 22, 2009 by marc

imageHillary Clinton has arguably done more to combat sexual violence in Africa in her short time as Secretary of State than the entire U.N. has in the last decade.

There are lessons that people in the U.S. and the rest of the civilized world can learn simply from her.  We do not have to visit Africa and see the mauled and maimed women first-hand to realize that, whatever our differences politically, we really have a minimal number of problems to deal with in our lives and that it is our general adherence to the rule of law, with all of its compulsions and flaws, that creates the sense – and more than that, the reality – of security most westerners enjoy day in and day out.

Abdul-Latif Moussa, Gaza’s David Koresh?

Posted on August 14, 2009 by marc

Abdul-Latif Moussa leads an Islamic terrorist group called Jund Ansar Allah that as of now is literally fighting for its survival in the Gaza Strip.  But their opponent isn’t the Israeli Defense Forces as one might expect; rather, Moussa’s group is holed up in a mosque surrounded by hundreds of armed members of Hamas.  At…

image At least 6 Christians – all but one women and children – have been killed in Gojra, Pakistan by a rampaging mob of Muslims. The reason? It was rumored that a Koran was damaged in a Christian wedding held in the town.

Not surprisingly, officials said the rumors which led to the murders and torching of homes were false.

Obama Addresses the Muslim World

Posted on June 6, 2009 by marc

Barack Obama’s speech to the Muslim world was one worth making.  He made some important points and made them more firmly than I had hoped he would.  True, the president could have done more to clarify our country’s intention to hold to its own values, regardless of public opinion among foreign Muslims, but then he…

Obama on America, Islam, and Progress

Posted on June 3, 2009 by marc

In Cairo, Barack Obama said something that’s both singularly offensive and utterly fallacious when he stated that “one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.”  Taking the inaccuracy first, estimates vary but…

Nour Hadid beat 2-year-old niece to death over a period of 4 days after her husband accused Nour of stealing from him.

Denmark’s ex-Leader to Kowtow to Islamofacists

Posted on April 5, 2009 by marc

Michael van der Gailen reports that Denmark’s just-resigned Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen will publicly apologize to the Islamic world because Danish newspapers printed what have become known as the infamous Mohammed cartoons. If true, the reports are the latest in a long string of unfortunate moral failures on the part of European leaders in…

What It Takes to Fight Terrorism

Posted on March 14, 2009 by marc

At the Telegraph, Con Coughlin lays out what’s wrong with Britain’s effort to fight Islamic terrorism to-date, saying: No one can claim that we in Britain don’t understand the nature of the threat we face. In recent months, there has been a succession of reports highlighting the increasingly pernicious influence British Islamists are having on…

A Sade Looke Upone Mightye Englande’s Falle

Posted on February 18, 2009 by marc

Iowawawk’s Chaucer-esque recounting of Great Britain’s fatal affair with accommodation and appeasement is, sadly, both hilarious and true.  It starts a bit slow, but give it a chance!

Quotes To Remember

Posted on February 17, 2009 by marc

Mark Tapson: As for Islamophobia, an “irrational fear of Islam” does not even exist; it is a trumped-up charge designed to bully us into silence and deflect criticism from the Islamists as they go about plotting terrorism and trying to shoehorn sharia law into our culture.  A perfectly rational concern about the demonstrable threat of…
