Jihad Featured Changing perceptions of Islam, Part 4: "Hassan Nasrallah’s children: During His Final Days, Our Father Was Depressed" The Iranian regime is forced to accept it lacks the means to intimidate Israel, and to order an invincible force to stand down has to be extremely carefully handled. The members of such a force would question the motives of a Supreme Leader who capitulates. Shari'a takes a dim view of such things.
Jihad Featured The jihad against Israel: Muslim Brotherhood seizes the spear from Iran Seize Damascus, for pity's sake. When a jihad army takes control of Damascus, they will slaughter like nothing we have ever seen. Do it for those hapless people, if you cannot do it for yourselves. It is a genocide waiting to happen and you can prevent it.
Judaism Featured Are Jews smart and brave enough to save the world?* The best Israel can expect from the Muslim world is to be respected because it is wealthy, powerful, and fearsome. Anything else is the pipe dream of people who learned nonsense at workshops and conferences sponsored by European donors and the New Israel Fund.
Shari'a Featured The butcher with privilege Eagerness to be seen complying with Shari’a is why Western leaders fall over themselves to support the Palestinians, appease Iran and pay their respects to the butcher of Tehran.
Propaganda Featured Dialogue with the deaf and hungry* “Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one.” - Charles MacKay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
Israel Featured Happy 76th birthday, Israel* It doesn't make any difference whether you are pro-Israel or not. If another holocaust looms, it leaves Israel with no alternatives but to lash out without pause or restraint at those who wish to destroy the Jewish State.
Jihad Featured Left, Right and Canary in the Mine* Among the defenders of old-fashioned liberalism, we are increasingly seeing the faces of newcomers born into tyrannies who understand better than others that Israel is a canary in a mine, that its destruction will mean that the fumes of poison are so strong that they are killing civilisation.
Jihad Featured The Annexation of Territory in War: Answer to Dr Meir Finkel, Part 1 Some societies and cultures consider themselves as permanently at war. When not shedding their enemies' blood, they are preparing to shed their enemies' blood. Such cultures understand relations only as domination and submission. To fail to annex their territory in war is to ask for perpetual war.
Propaganda Featured Muhammad said Muslims are “scum and rubbish.” The October massacre proves him right. I see in this War Cabinet the makings of a coup to form a new, unelected government around Benjamin Netanyahu, Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot that excludes Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich to outright disenfranchise the Jews of Judea and Samaria. It's what the US demands.
Propaganda Featured Muhammad said Muslims are “scum and rubbish.” The October massacre proves him right. While Gazans remain in Gaza, their priority will be the destruction of Israel. Normal human priorities will only come when far from the Middle East. What Gazans make of themselves once away from Israel is none of Israel’s concern. Israel needs to worry about those who remain.
Propaganda Featured Muhammad said Muslims are “scum and rubbish.” The October massacre proves him right. Contrary to the ruling orthodoxy, the Palestinians are not a nation without a land, but a nation without a people. In place of the positive principle of a people preserving their kind, they can only boast the negative principle of annihilating another people.
Holocaust Remembrance Day Featured Yom HaShoah 2023 series - 3 For three nights, in commemoration of Yom HaShoah on 27 January, Murtadd to Human is publishing a series of articles that draws attention to the rising anti-Semitism around the world. Our third article is Andrzej Koraszewski's critique of the media's reporting on Israel and Palestinian terrorism.
Polemics Featured There are NO human rights violations in Iran: Answer to Dr Alon Ben-Meir There are no human rights in Islam, so there can be no human rights in an Islamic Republic. There are no human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, so there can be no human rights violations in Iran.
Totalitarianism Featured And STILL they prattle on about a “women’s revolution” - Part 2 I point this out neither to absolve men, nor to tarnish women, but only to make the point that the woman-man divide obscures, rather than illuminates, the events in Iran. It obstructs, rather than facilitates, understanding.
Totalitarianism Featured And STILL they prattle on about a “women’s revolution” - Part 1 If it were up to women like this, there would never be a revolution in Iran. It is unclear why anyone would be interested in what Banafsheh Zand has to say on the events in Iran, other than that she’s a feminist.
Jihad Featured Anatomy of a madness, Part 3 I read The Satanic Verses in the winter of 1996-97, unemployed and frozen, and again in the winter of 2014-15, Charlie Hebdo on TV 24/7. The third time was in that magical realist summer of 2020, with a fresh-ish MFA to my name, to study the work as art. 12 August 2022: the author survived.

Jihad Featured "Will Nupur Sharma ever lead a normal life? Should moderate Muslims speak up?" - A commentary - Part 4 I hate to be borne out in such a horrible way, but this sorry state of affairs obtains only because too many people, in their self-righteous ignorance and arrogance, insist on making a distinction between so-called "radical" Muslims and "moderate" Muslims.
