Remembering December 7, 1941
In December 1941, I was a member of the Junior Society of New York’s Temple Emanu-el. On Saturday evening December 6, 1941, the Junior Society held a formal dance. I was within a month of my 18th birthday and the dance was the first time I wore formal dress. I actually wore an overly-formal, ...Read More...

What I Learned on Obama's Rabbi Call
Dr. Richard L. Rubenstein
I listened to President Obama’s rabbi call yesterday. The whole operation was managed by the Reform movement with leftist Rabbi David Saperstein acting as chairperson and droolingly thanking the President for all he had done. Rabbi David Saperstein is married ...Read More...

Remembering William Styron: A Small Detail
Today’s NYT Book Review section contains a review of Alexandra Styron’s new biography of her father, William Styron, Reading My Father. The review reminded me of the enormous debt I owed to Styron.
In 1975, a book I authored, The Cunning of History, was published. It was almost completely ...Read More...

They know us; we don’t know them
This morning (March 25, 2011), the New York Times published an important article, “Islamist Group is Rising Force in a New Egypt.” We should not be surprised at this development. For all the NPR, NYT, and CNN talk of a "moderate," new Muslim Brotherhood (MB), what has ...Read More...

In a SPIEGEL interview, Dutch Islam-opponent Geert Wilders discusses his fight for a Koran ban, why German Chancellor Angela Merkel is running scared on the immigration issue and his belief that the Netherlands' debate over Muslims has now crossed the border into Germany.

Iran's Nuclear Coup
As this WSJ editorial suggests, this is a strategic fiasco. Add to this, Iran’s de facto alliance with Cuba and Cesaar Chavez’s Venezuela, Russia’s arms deal with Syria, China’s deals with Iran, and we have the basis for a global anti-American coalition with America ...Read More...

The Seventieth Anniversary of the Start of World War II
by Rabbi John Crites-Borak
September 1, 2009. The seventieth anniversary of the start of World War Two. The invasion of Poland. I mark this day with a profound sadness that may seem odd for one who was born seven years after the war ended, and especially since Viet Nam is seen as the war of ...Read More...

September 1, 1939
Today marks the seventieth anniversary of the start of World War II. In our worst dreams, those of us who were old enough to have an inkling of what was happening - I was a high school senior - we never imagined how nightmarish that war would be. On a personal note, there has always been ...Read More...

To the Editor of the New York Times Book Review Section:
I was dismayed that a scholar of Fouad Ajami's eminence would state in his review of Christopher Caldwell's Reflections on the Revolution In Europe, "The question of Islam in Europe has occasioned calls of alarm about 'Eurabia'” (Book Review, August 2, 2009). There is ...Read More...

A Personal Notice
I have just completed the manuscript of Jihad and Genocide and sent it off today to the publishers (Rowman and Littlefield in US & UK , Editions Les Provinciales in France .) It is not a cheerful book. One of my conclusions after four grueling years working on it, is that they mean ...Read More...

A Nation of Christians and Muslims?
In his Inaugural Address our new president described the United States as “a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and non-believers.” As a graduate of Harvard Law School and a former editor of the Harvard Law Review, President Obama, knows the significance of words and the order ...Read More...
