How Islam breathed new life into slavery and the slave trade in Europe
Jihad Watch 2 February 2010
By John J. O'Neil
How Islam breathed new life into slavery and the slave trade in Europe. In my newly-published book, Holy Warriors: Islam and the Demise of Classical Civilization, I argue at length that a great majority of the things commonly regarded as "Medieval" were in fact introduced to Europe from Islam, and that it was Islam, and not the Huns, Vandals and Goths, which terminated Classical Civilization, the rational and humane civilization of Greece and Rome. This civilization survived in Europe and in North Africa and the Near East until the seventh century, at which point it was terminated by the Muslim conquests.
United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny and Terror

Dr. Jamie Glazov, editor of FrontPageMag.com, exposes the hypocrisy of leftists and liberals who claim to champion the principles of freedom, democracy, liberalism, and feminism yet support both
The Rotten Heart of the Union
Henrik R Clausen 20 January 2010
Book essay: Brussels laid bare
There's a lot invested in the European Union. Not only money (to the tune of €100 billion a year), also massive amounts of confidence from Europeans towards the Union, assuming that it will protect citizens / consumers from the evils of dangerous products, exploitative business and the dangers of the independent nation-state, all while protecting democracy and citizens' rights. Former Chief Accountant Marta Andreasen has a discouraging tale to tell.

Hommaforum 17 December 2009
This time at Hommaforum we have an interview with Nicolai Sennels from Denmark. The interview was carried out by e-mail. Before getting into interview , let me introduce Nicolai briefly for our readers.
Book essay: The Ascent of Money
In his bumper volume The Ascent of Money (television series here), historian Niall Ferguson sets out to tell the history of the world, not in terms of kings and dynasties, but rather in terms of money, credit and bubbles. This makes an awful lot of sense, for regardless of the greatness of kings and warriors, they can do little without the underlying assets of weapons, ships, supplies and funding. Studying the funding of events lead to an interesting understanding of what really drives history.
Book Essay: The strange world of Ayn Rand
By Henrik R Clausen 25 Dec 2009
Like many others, I've been fascinated by the magnum opus of Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged. This huge tale of Good vs. Evil, workers vs. looters, entrepreneurs vs. moochers starts off slow, but once one gets the plot, this tale of a future USA descending into the evils of Soviet-style Socialism is gripping and eerily relevant.
Danish Psychologist: “The one thing Muslim immigrants fear is being deported.”
The German Review of Books 18 December 2009
By Felix Struening
Nearly monthly, new studies and books about the problems with the integration of Muslims in Germany and whole Europe are published. In France, Great Britain and the Netherlands the problems seem to be most obviously, but also in small Denmark. In the aftermath of the Mohammed-cartoon crisis, there have been some changes concerning Muslims in politics and public opinion. The German Review of Books talked to Nicolai Sennels, a psychologist who worked for several years with young criminal Muslims in a Copenhagen prison, about recent developments.
Ex-Muslim's college speech disrupted by arson
WND.com 7 December 2009
Author Nonie Darwish, whose new book warns of the advance of Islamic law in the West, completed a scheduled speech at Boston University but not without the interruption of an apparent arson in a nearby restroom.
Darwish, whose recently scheduled addresses at both Columbia and Princeton were canceled following Islamic opposition, said the students who arranged her Boston University appearance this week believe the fire was an attempt to hinder her message.
"I am still in shock," she said in an e-mail to supporters. "Fifteen minutes before I was to speak at Boston University a fire was set on purpose in a bathroom near the room I was to speak at."
Who integrates successfully – sealing the fate of multiculti
The German Review of Books 6 December 2009
By Felix Struening
“Immigrants tend on average to be more poorly educated and more frequently unemployed and to participate less in public life than the native population.” This first finding of the study “Unutilised Potentials” of the “Berlin-Institute for Population and Development” is not surprising at all.
Yet behind the unassuming title, figures are conceal that are that brisance and distinct; it is hard to beat. The study is the first one in Germany that compared the success of integration of migrant groups from different countries of origin. For critical observers, the fact that the Turks got the worst results is hardly surprising, but it is a slap in the face for the defenders of multiculturism in Germany.
Intellectual Honesty
Brussels Journal 3 December 2009
Dr. Andrew Bostom, the author of the well-researched books The Legacy of Jihad and The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism, has reviewed Fjordman's book Defeating Eurabia, which is now available in a cheaper printed version:
"Fjordman’s collection of short works, 'Defeating Eurabia' marks his emergence as a uniquely informed European essayist. Remarkably curious and erudite, the author’s lucid essays are ultimately a testament to that rarest and most desperately needed attribute in our era—intellectual honesty. An unapologetic defender of the Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian values of Western civilization, and their apotheosis in Western Europe, Fjordman expresses alarm at Europe’s supine Islamization, and condemns the demonization of ordinary non-Muslim indigenous Europeans who have the 'temerity' to voice their objection to this ongoing cultural jihad. 'Defeating Eurabia' is a brilliantly argued, passionate critique of Western Europe’s contemporary utopian 'multiculturalist' governing elites—avatars of the latest fanatical European politico-religious creed—a bizarre, toxic brew of statism and unreformed, Shari’a-compliant Islam."
How Muslim Piracy Changed the World
Gates of Vienna 10 Nov 2009
By John J. O’Neill
In my recently-published book, Holy Warriors: Islam and the Demise of Classical Civilization, I argued that it was the coming of Islam, in the mid-seventh century, which effectively brought the Classical Civilization of Greece and Rome to an end and initiated the Middle Ages.

The secret behind the veil: Saudi women find solace in ‘safe love’
The Times Online 18 Oct 2009
In theory, Saudi Arabia should not exist — its survival defies the laws of logic and history. Look at its princely rulers, dressed in funny clothes, trusting in God rather than man and running their oil-rich country on principles that most of the world has abandoned with relief.

Book Exposes CAIR's Exaggerations, Efforts to Stymie Law Enforcement
Right Side News 18 Oct 2009
IPT News
A new book claims to give readers an inside look at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), arguing everything from its claims of financial and political clout to its genuine agenda are rooted in deception.
Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America is based in large part on access to CAIR operations obtained by Chris Gaubatz, the son of co-author P. David Gaubatz. Using an alias, the younger Gaubatz spent six months as a CAIR intern in 2008.
Working under the name David Marshall, Chris Gaubatz worked closely with CAIR leadership including Executive Director Nihad Awad, Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper, and Legislative Director Corey Saylor. Chris Gaubatz claims to have walked out with 12,000 pages of documents (most of which he had been instructed to shred) and 300 hours of clandestine video.
Turkey's EU bid fades with little drama

'Now we have proof' jihadis infiltrating D.C.
WorldNetDaily Oct 15 2009
In the wake of the sensational ACORN video sting operation by two young investigators, an even more daring and devastating undercover investigation – this one infiltrating the nation's most aggressive Muslim "civil rights" organization for six months – has produced stunning revelations about the supposedly "moderate" group, backed up by 12,000 pages of documents obtained during the secret op.
