It is no political accident that New York City elected a mayor who openly embraces anti-Western and antisemitic positions. It is the predictable result of a long cultural drift in which mainstream liberals ceded their universities, newsrooms, schools and corporate bureaucracies to activists who disdain the very civilization that made their prosperity possible.

As Hamas nears defeat, the world seems determined to stop Israel — yet the stakes go far beyond Gaza.  The West is ignoring the warning signs: Israel’s survival is a test for the survival of Western civilization.

The Gaza war is not only about Israel’s survival; it’s about our own. The current conflagration in the Gaza Strip is much more consequential than most people believe it to be.

The Middle East finds itself, despite the catastrophe of Oct. 7 and the current conflagration, at its best chance for peace in 75 years. The only ingredient missing to achieve previously unachievable permanent peace is American leadership.

There is a direct relationship between radical Islamic successes and the recruitment of jihadists, domestically and abroad. When radical Islam suffers losses in the courts, in the realm of public opinion and on the battlefields of the Middle East, their membership suffers. This is key to their defeat.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a brutal surprise attack on Israel, killing over 1,200 through rape, torture, kidnappings, and child executions shocking the world with its barbarity. This assault immediately presented Israel with an impossible moral dilemma of having to choose between eradicating Hamas to secure its future or negotiating for the return of hostages, thereby allowing Hamas to survive

It is deeply ironic for European leaders to criticize Donald Trump for allegedly undermining President Volodymyr Zelensky as he seeks to create space for negotiations — especially given their own failure to prevent Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in the first place.

The only lasting solution for peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors is to permanently remove Israel and the Jewish people from the Palestinian dilemma. If Israel remains a landlord, policeman, or caretaker for the Palestinians, remnants of Hamas, Iran’s leadership, and Islamist groups will continue to spread hatred and obstruct peace.

Antisemitism is the world’s oldest continuous bigotry. While the reasons for it are multifactorial, conflicts involving Israel are accompanied by a rise in antisemitism. Oct. 7 was a massive intelligence and strategic failure.

History’s great events are often created by crisis.  The reprehensible, barbaric terrorism perpetrated by Iranian proxies (Hamas) on October 7 has cracked open a window in our country that has the potential to finally arouse us to see what we have become.

When Denver Broncos unapologetic Christian QB Tim Tebow takes a knee to thank G-d for his successful plays, he is mercilessly mocked by the left and the mainstream media.

WikiLeaks released all the DNC, Hillary Clinton and John Podesta emails that were in play during the 2016 presidential election. Julian Assange claims he did not receive any of these emails from Russia, Russia-related individuals, or Russian agents.

President Obama, unencumbered by re-election worries, is taking full advantage of “executive directives” or “end-runs” around that pesky Republican-controlled Congress.  This past week, the Obama administration has lessened the rules for would-be asylum-seekers and Middle-Eastern immigrants desiring entry into the United States.  A post-Sept.

Few noticed a disturbing and remarkable comment made by Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton yesterday. While taping a satellite television show for Arab women at Zayed University in Abu Dhabi, Ms. Clinton compared the alleged psychotic killer in the tragic Arizona shootings, Jared Loughery, to Islamic extremists.

Last month in Washington, the United States hosted an international conference to advance the implementation of UN resolution 16 / 18. The resolution was adopted “by consensus”—a disarming term that really means without a vote—at a session of the U.N. Human Rights Council last March.

With the presidential election looming, I thought it wise to revisit president Obama’s 2008 campaign theme. He ran on the adage, “hope and change.” Let’s look into hope and change, Obama style.

Make no mistake: one of two Americas will emerge on 7 November, and I hope and pray that it is the right America. The right America will end this president’s crusade to divide us by color, gender, income, and any other appeal to our tribal nature.

You will recall that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department filed a lawsuit in support of a Muslim public school teacher, Sefoorah Khan. After just 9 months’ employment in a Chicago area school, Ms. Khan chose to take a three week hiatus from her position to attend “The Pilgrimage” or Hajj — a trip to Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

Every once in a while an issue arises that can leave no doubt as to one’s true colors. Clear examples of this are the congressional bills that unambiguously prevent judges in American courts from citing or using Sharia in their rulings. If you support them, you oppose Islamic law in America; if you oppose them, you don’t. The purity of this issue doesn’t allow for prevarication.

As you read this, be mindful that it could just as easily be your community—and probably will be, eventually. Farmington, Michigan’s Public School Board of Education voted unanimously to sell their vacant Eagle Elementary School to the Islamic Cultural Association (ICA) for $1.1 million.

President Obama’s recent Middle East vision statement is highly disturbing—even for this president it stands out. His perfidious demand that Israel recede to 1967 borders is imprudent, callow and dangerously amateurish.

When I hear the phrase “rebel fighter” it conjures up images of Star War’s Luke Skywalker fighting the evil empire. So that must mean we are on the right side of this Libyan “kinetic” action, right? Perhaps. In regional conflicts as in most things in life, the facts surrounding them are not one dimensional or even two; they are complicated.

I was interviewed to discuss my book, Re-United States on Saturday, March 12, 2011. The radio interview on WGCH 1490 aired in CT and NY the week of March 14, 2011

I’m thankful that more and more people and their governments seem to be finding their voice as they speak out against the blight that is radical Islam. It remains, however, very much a mixed bag—more on that in a minute.

Most Americans agree that democracy is a desirable system of government for most people in the world. The route to reach it, however, is anything but simple.

When undeniable information is released that reveals the true radical face of Islamism at home or abroad, leftists simply cannot accept it for what it is—the truth.

All over the planet, Islamic extremists are plotting the murder of Americans by blowing airplanes out the sky. “Aviacide” seems to be the preferred method of terror by these hateful idiots whose minds have been poisoned by jihad.

As a few of you may already know, Juan Williams, the liberal Fox News commentator and civil rights champion, wasabruptly and rudely fired on Thursday after the Council of Arab Islamic Relations (CAIR) not-so-subtly urged NPR to cut him loose.

Earlier this week in New York, the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair stated in no uncertain terms that radical Islam has been winning several battles against the West.

I am struck by the glut of recent examples of how incredibly biased our mainstream media remains vis a vis radical Islam. To be frank, an ideologically driven obsession with not appearing intolerant has crippled our nation’s ability to report anti-Islamist activities.

The most recent attack from within is a seemingly benign story about a Muslim woman who just wishes to be treated fairly in America. In reality, this is just another example of the slow Jihadists’ deliberate, Trojan horse-like tactics.

I am enormously thankful that the Ground Zero Mosque (GZM) debate is still raging. It is the first “stealth Jihad” issue that promises to help bridge the gap between Right and Left. If we check our egos at the door, right and wrong will trump Right and Left every time.

he Cordoba House Ground Zero mosque issue has drawn a line in the proverbial sand. With all that we now know, this issue is black and white.

Charles Bolden, NASA’s Administrator, gave an interview with Al Jazeera’s Imran Garda on June 17th during a Middle East trip.

The Cordoba House plan would build a 15-story community center including a mosque, swimming pool, performing art center, gym, and “other public spaces” at the ground zero site.

Daniel Pipes blog regarding the Faisal Shahzad bombing attempt in New York (see link below) is spot on. I find it inexplicable that each new Islamic terror event is described as anything but Islamic terrorism by much of the media and the government.

The New York Times, once again exercising tortured journalistic standards, goes out of its way to avoid labeling Islamic terrorism as… well, Islamic terrorism.

Consistent with the premise of my book, Re-United States, a group of Muslim-American scholars (the Fiqh Council of North America) issued a religious edict this week that counsels Muslims not to submit to body scanner screenings at airports.

The Texas Supreme Court, in a potentially far-reaching decision, took the wind from the sails of “Lawfare Islamists” on January 15, 2010 when they denied a petition to revisit a lower court decision dismissing a defamation suit against journalist Joe Kaufman.

Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, the alleged “crotch bomber,” is currently begin held as a criminal in Michigan’s prison system. Obama administration representatives are on record stating that NW flight 253 was not a “battle field” and that this is a “criminal” case.

As Daniel Pipes discusses in his recent blog post, Europe may finally be waking up to the Islamization of their continent. If not for the fundamentalist nature of radical Islam that is hell bent on converting Europe and the West to their severe brand of Islam—not just the faith but the culture and the legal systems, no reaction by the West to Islam’s growth would be necessary.
