Myra Buttle
"Maybe he [Bush] need not be "endured" any longer, Hugh, as there is a very simple, and legal, remedy for this problem: vote Democrat. Since the "Great Hallucinator" has pointedly refused to hear what the American people demand, impeachment will (justifiably?) be Item Number

more hallucinations
"Iraq has said it wants to join NATO."["Iraq" has said this? Or at some point some idle dreamer proposed this as he whispered sweet nothings in an American official's ear?]
"Iraq's democracy was interrupted by a military coup." [when was this? Is this a reference to the

The Great Hallucinator
The Great Hallucinator will not leave Iraq, nor Afghanistan, for he is convinced that he is right and, we are now told, he is telling others "I will stay in Iraq even if only Laura and Barney [his dog] support me." We are supposed to be impressed. Are you? Does this soothe you? Do you think

Tom and Jerry: Zionist conspiracy
Tom and Jerry were borrowed by Hanna-Barbera from tales of Regency bucks (I can't remember whether apaches or mohicans), by Pierce Egan, detailing the adventures of Jerry Hawthorne and Corinthian Tom. Pierce Egan, some seminar taught me, may have been an influence, or the characters Tom and Jerry may

Le Figaro, right wing?
"the right-wing daily Le Figaro..."-- from this news item
Why "right-wing"? Because Robert Hersant once owned it? Because it manages, from time to time, not to attack the United States? Because it carries articles critical of Islam, such as those by the acute Yvan Rioufol? What

Re: Suicide bombers' motivation
Many will have a stake in denying or stifling this -- the beginning of what should have been obvious long ago, and had it been obvious long ago, both in Western Europe and in the United States, would have permitted the former to severely limit Muslim immigration, and the latter from the messianic and

Samir Kuntar and other prisoners seeking release
Every time "Palestinian" prisoners are mentioned, Samir Kuntar and his act of derring-do (a "hero" of the "Palestinian" resistance) should be recalled. And make sure you have every detail straight. Did Samir Kuntar first smash in the skull of the older girl, the five-year-old,

more Ramadan
Of course, Tariq Ramadan could be teaching at Yale or a University Professorship at Princeton (well-appointed office right next to that of Cornel West, nubile secretary and adoring studentesse, the whole works), or possibly a Visiting Professorship arranged by Leila Ahmad, William Graham, and Diana

Non mollare. Do not relent.
Tariq Ramadan has once again been disallowed entry into the United States.
Who will translate into English "Frere Tariq" by Catherine (no, sorry, Caroline) Fourest, which tells you all you need to know? Now that Ramadan has been exposed in France, both through his televised debates and

"the Caroline / Catherine gaffe again. I will now Google to see which is correct. Yep, it's Caroline. Maybe she should change her name to Zenaida so there's no more confusion."-- from a reader

The Pakistan Problem
Pakistan has a nuclear program based on the thefts of secrets by "Dr." A. Q. Khan, national hero of Pakistan, and willing sharer -- a Secret Sharer -- of such secrets with Iran and North Korea. Pakistan has been the incubator and promoter and supporter of the Taliban, the same Pakistan that

The dream of unified "Arab Islamic states" is nothing more than a restatement of the pan-Arabism associated with, inter alios, Nasser and latterly, the newest claimant to being the champion of "the Arabs," Saddam Hussein. Seen for a long time as distinct from pan-Islamic sentiment

Secular Turks
Turkey will not be admitted to the E.U. That is no longer the question. The question is whether the beneficiaries of Kemalism will stop objecting to the army's use of force to protect them, and it, and to finally suppress the steady re-islamization of Turkey. About one-quarter of the Turkish population

Frere Tariq
NEW YORK Sep 25, 2006 (AP)— The government has rejected a prominent Muslim scholar's application to enter the country, contending that he gave support to a terrorist group, but his attorneys allege the U.S. is using charitable donations he made as a pretext for stifling his views.

Pakistan and India, compare and contrast
One can compare the history of Pakistan with the history of India since Partition. In political freedom, one has had steady democracy and the other a succession of mild or un-mild despots. In Hindu-dominated India, the Muslim population has increased, while in Pakistan (formerly West Pakistan), the

Re: Pipes' article
The attacks are not only intended to intimidate. They are also mere expressions of fury at Infidels, the natural expression of Muslim hatred for Infidels, who must somehow be implicated, somehow be blamed, for whatever goes wrong.
In November 1979 the Great Mosque in Mecca was seized by Muslims unhappy

No more Mozart
Berlin- One of Germany's leading opera houses, Deutsche Oper Berlin, announced Monday that it was cancelling a controversial production because of the likelihood that it might offend Muslims. The original opera, Idomeneo by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, makes no reference to Islam, but director Hans Neuenfels

Italian anti-dhimmitude
Thank god for Oriana Fallaci's books and haunting presence, and thank god for Magdi Allam at the Corriere and on the RAI. And thank god for the published views -- "Senza Radici" -- of the Pope discussing Islam and the future of the West with Michele Pera, views which he cannot take back, amend,

Muslim candidates for political office
No one should be shy or frightened away about discussing Islam on the theory that "a man's religion should not be an issue." If that "religion" is far more than a religion, if it is a complete politico-religio-socio-economico-whateveroyouwanto then it is legitimate, it is incumbent

Spain in 1492
Muslims were not expelled from Spain in 1492. A lot of things happened in Spain in 1492. World-shaking things. Jews were expelled. Columbus set sail. Nebrija wrote his grammar. But the expulsion of the Moors was not one of them.

Did Iraq harm the "war on terror"?
"If the report had argued that Iraq has weakened the U.S. position because we are effectively abetting an Iranian-backed Shi'ite takeover of the country, and thus aiding rather than weakening the global jihad, that would be a defensible, indeed a cogent, position."-- from Robert Spencer's

Chavez and Islam
Chavez is the worst kind of los-de-abajo caudillo (see "El Senor Presidente"), and he demonstrates one side of shape-shifting Islam: the ability of a belief-system that encourages the acquisition of wealth not through work but rather through the seizure of loot, and continuing to demand payment
