• We need a break from the Jihad
Henrik R Clausen 17 March 2010
Colleen LaRose, commonly known as "Jihad Jane" for her plans to kill Lars Vilks, is just another example of the worldwide Jihad movement, which seeks to impose Islam on our free societies. 
• The endgame for the euro?
Henrik R Clausen 16 March 2010
The news that some sort of bailout plan for Greece is in the works is bad, for the Europan Union, the euro and not least for European citizens. The decision, if carried through, would mark the end of the euro, and probably of the European Union as we know it.
Is Geert Wilders the new William of Orange?

The Kingdom of England is in a parlous state. Ruled by a rotten Scottish tyranny, the nation groans under the weight of oppressive, unconstitutional laws, the ruling elite is in the pay of its absolutist masters on the continent, and many Englishmen suspect their government is promoting an oppressive and reactionary religion against the will of the people. The nation’s only hope is a charismatic young Dutchman fighting almost single-handedly against the creation of a united Europe under the rule of an unelected tyrant in Holland’s southern neighbour.
Qaddafi, Wilders, and the Jihad Against Switzerland
PajamasMedia 15 March 2010

Ever since the triumphs of Islam’s prophet became the ultimate inspiration for jihadism almost 14 centuries ago, Muslims have especially revered the bellicose, conquering Muhammad of Medina. (For a pious contemporary example, see Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s "The Prophet Muhammad as a Jihad Model.”) According to a canonical hadith (Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0272), Islam in essence belongs to Medina, as a serpent to its lair, the specific words being, "Verily the faith [i.e., Islam] would recede to Medina just as the serpent crawls back into its hole.”
Moderate Islam: Pipes believes in it Sultan calls it a Western myth
Jewish Tribune 15 March 2010
By Joanne Hill
Two years ago, Syrian-born American psychiatrist and activist Dr. Wafa Sultan was forced to go into hiding after an Islamic scholar issued a fatwa (death threat) against her. Last week, she participated in a debate with Dr. Daniel Pipes at Shaarei Shomayim Synagogue and prefaced her remarks with, "I am used to debating with a Muslim imam, not with a dear friend like Dr. Pipes. The best part of our debate is, I know for sure at the end of this debate, he's not going to call me kaffir (unbeliever) or to issue a fatwa against my life.”
How to Make Defeatism Look Good: Let's Give Up and Cheer the Islamists
Global Politician 15 March 2010
By Prof. Barry Rubin
I'm not going to bash or rant about a Newsweek article about Turkey by Owen Matthews-shocking and dangerous as it is--but rather talk about what is wrong and inaccurate about it. That article is part of a new wave of defeatism sweeping the West, though it still remains subordinate to the more ostensibly attractive idea that there is no real conflict or at least one easy to fix by Western concessions.
Amnesty International Mainstreams the Jihad
Islamist Watch Blog 15 March 2010
By David J. Rusin
Amnesty International famously advocates on behalf of people persecuted just for expressing an opinion. However, last month the group suspended Gita Sahgal, the head of its gender unit, after she expressed an opinion of her own: that by working with Taliban supporter Moazzam Begg, Amnesty has betrayed its mission to advance human rights. Here is a look at the scandal that the American media — once known for championing whistleblowers — have all but ignored.
Interest rates: A coordinating economical principle
Henrik R Clausen 11 March 2010
Changes to the interest rates are usually eagerly followed by home owners, farmers, bankers and others, whose economical situation depends on the interest rate. But their desire to keep interest rates low constitutes a deadly fallacy. Keeping interest rates low will harm, not help, our economies.
Activist takes on radical Islam
THE JEWISH STATE 9 March 2010
By Sarah Morrison
Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff may not be a household name, but she is now a high-profile personality in the growing movement against radical Islam's steadying foothold in Europe.
Geert Wilders’ Speech in the House of Lords
Gates of Vienna 8 March 2010
Thank you. It is great to be back in London. And it is great that this time, I got to see more of this wonderful city than just the detention centre at Heathrow Airport.
Today I stand before you, in this extraordinary place. Indeed, this is a sacred place. This is, as Malcolm always says, the mother of all Parliaments, I am deeply humbled to have the opportunity to speak before you.
EU: Prison of Nations
Alternative Right 5 March 2010
Nigel Farage, a British member of the European Parliament, was fined an equivalent of $4,000 on Tuesday for "insulting" the new European Union President Herman van Rompuy (r.) and refusing to apologize.
The Wilders Momentum
Brussels Journal 5 March 2010
By Paul Belien
Yesterday’s local elections in the Netherlands resulted in a victory for the Freedom Party (PVV) of opposition leader Geert Wilders.
On June 9th the Dutch will again be called to the voting booth for the general elections. Yesterday’s outcome reinforces the PVV’s momentum, which may result in a political landslide next June with repercussions all over Europe.
Geert Wilders Slams Socialist Islamic Alliance
Geertwilders.nl 5 March 2010
By Atlasshrugs.com
Here in a nutshell, and something we have to yet to see our way clear of here in the States, is Wilders's essential point: that if you want to live in the Netherlands, then accept its laws, culture and people, its way of life.
If not, don't come. And if you are there, don't stay. If you accept, then you will be welcomed. Why is this controversial? It is common sense.
Geert Wilders vs. The Multicultural Inquisition
Global Politician 5 March 2010
By Fjordman
Some observers have compared the ongoing trial against the prominent Dutch Islam-critic Geert Wilders in the Netherlands to the case against Galileo Galilei in seventeenth century Italy. There is no question that the trial against Galileo represents a dark chapter in the history of the Roman Catholic Church, but there are some popular misconceptions regarding it.
Artists Against Hatred: Confronting Genocide in the Middle East
PajamasMedia 5 March 2010
By Phyllis Chesler
Everywhere I turn — or so it seems — attacks on Israel and Israelis are in process. The other day, after a long day of writing, I idly, instinctively channel surfed — and there was the infamous Christiane Amanpour grilling Israeli Foreign Minister Ehud Barak. Oh, how this half-British, half-Iranian journalist relished this task. All her questions were hostile and were meant to embarrass or castigate both him personally and Israeli policies in general. CNN’s poor excuse for Oriana Fallaci never paused to take a breath; she gave Minister Barak absolutely no quarter. Except once.
US: A Brief Taxonomy of Campus Free Speech Foes
Islamist Watch Blog 1 March 2010
By David J. Rusin
Efforts to suppress politically incorrect speech on campus continue apace, as seen in the hostility directed toward Michael Oren, Israeli ambassador to the U.S., during a lecture on February 8 at the University of California, Irvine. Based on this and other recent events, one may identify four general villains in the struggle to uphold the rights of speakers:
Muslims Have a History of Fighting Each Other
History News Network 1 March 2010
By Efraim Karsh
The Islamic Solidarity Games, the Olympics of the Muslim world, which were to be held in Iran in April, have been called off by the Arab states because Tehran inscribed "Persian Gulf” on the tournament’s official logo and medals.
In Mideast, Bet on a Strong Horse
Daniel Pipes Blog 1 March 2010
By Daniel Pipes, National Review Online
The violence and cruelty of Arabs often perplexes Westerners.
Not only does the leader of Hizbullah proclaim "We love death," but so too does, for example, a 24-year-old man who last month yelled "We love death more than you love life" as he crashed his car on the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge in New York City.
Poll: PVV wins big in Almere
De Telegraaf March 1 2010
In the municipal elections in Almere, the Party for Freedom (PVV) may become by far the largest party. TNS NIPO predicts this result from a poll commissioned by newspaper De Volkskrant and the University of Amsterdam.
In the poll, which was conducted just before the fall of the Balkenende Cabinet, the PVV receives 30 percent of the votes. The PvdA follows with 20 percent as the second party.
A Day of Infamy: The "Field Mattress” Reborn
Gates of Vienna 27 February 2010
By Kepiblanc
Early this morning, Editor-in-Chief Tøger Seidenfaden of the Danish newspaper Politiken — "The New York Times of Denmark” — announced that his paper had reached a settlement with the "descendants of the Prophet Mohammed”.
