Helping Gazans to emigrate? From the WSJ: "Gaza is one of the very few pieces of land not under the sovereignty of any nation, a status known as terra nullius in international law. ... Gaza has a sovereignty vacuum. A distinct Gaza Strip came into being as a result of Egypt’s…
Islamophobia is the POLITICAL and JUDICIAL SHEILD deployed by Islamists and Islamist sympathizers to evade scrutiny. As Muslims exposing Islamists we are most often silenced in this manner. This is distinct from anti Muslim xenophobia which is rightfully outlawed as is any other…
> I am accused of being "Islamophobic" even though I specifically said this is not about Mamdani's faith. As a Hindu myself, I won't accuse you of Islamophobia. OTOH, Hindus have legitimate reasons to be Islamophobic (i.e., afraid of Islamism). But I do find it hard to believe…

A recap the timeline of Iran’s war on Israel. Let’s examine who really started this war. 🧵
Shortly after the 2024 election, the news media would refer to Trump’s statements as “Trump repeats false claim of election fraud” on the grounds that reporting such claims, even attributed claims, without the adjective “false” would be a reckless provocation, possibly even…
What do foreigners learn at American universities? A liberal Pakistani says: "... all graduates who get the chance to the universities of US & UK, come back hardened leftists, postcolonialists or any such variant; ... They seldom return as Liberal enthusiasts." The result: "I can…
Ending Western funding of Hamas is the key to victory in Gaza, according to the WSJ. Yet Starmer, Macron, Carney want funding to continue funding & enact a ceasefire so that Hamas can refuel & kill Gazan opposition. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
“Classical liberalism isn’t magic. It doesn’t defend or renew itself. Every generation must relearn why it matters — and fight to safeguard it against threats foreign and domestic, and perhaps especially domestic.” Damn straight.
An explicitly illiberal project built on the delusion of achieving permanent political and ideological dominance. Politicize everything. Deploy lawfare against your political rivals (and anyone standing too close to them). Purge dissent. Expand executive power, even at the…
The Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s State Department deliberately and knowingly implemented a U.S. foreign policy to aid and abet Islamic jihadists — our enemies. The policy in 2011 was to help the Muslim Brotherhood Islamic uprising come to power in Tunisia, Libya…
Refusing to treat Islam as a political force—with its built-in legal code, territorial objectives, and totalizing worldview—is not virtue. It is civilizational naiveté. The term “Islamophobia” is not a defense of religious liberty. It is a semantic trap—engineered to…
In Belgium, a breaking of the Ramadan fast took place in a church, with women in hijabs singing and harmonizing ‘There is no God but Allah’. It’s mind-blowing to see this happening in churches across Europe as if it’s completely normal.

Sen. FETTERMAN on Trump saying the US will "take over" the Gaza strip and relocate all Palestinians while area is rebuilt: "It's a provocative part of the conversation, but it's part of the conversation, and that's where we are. The Palestinians have refused, or they've been…
Failed historians argue: "Islam can do no wrong — even when it invades, conquers, & persecutes; the West can do no right, even when it defends, liberates, & civilizes. While we are to exonerate contemporary Muslim terrorism as a product of “grievances” ... meforum.org/mef-online/is-…

.@InformaleEU published an interview with me in Italian & English: “Trump and the Art of the Double Pander.” The title refers to the new president's giving both his pro-Israel and his Islamist constituencies what they most want, triangulating to win the combined maximum…
The rise of Sunni Islamism is almost complete. Islamism has slowly replaced nationalist secular authoritarian models in the Muslim world since 1979 after the fall of the Shah, Saddam, Assad and the end of Ataturk’s model in Turkey. Arab nationalists had been humiliated by their…
It's hard to argue with this, unfortunately: meforum.org/mef-online/ham…
This is what Sharia laws look like: Hundreds of Muslim men cheered and chanted “Allah Akbar” while watching non-Muslim women and girls being burned alive as human sacrifices for the sake of Allah (Islam’s spiritual entity). The local Sharia council of the Islamic state in Iraq…
