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.

Propaganda Featured Muslims are “scum and rubbish,” said Muhammad. The Simchat Torah massacre proves him right.

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.

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.

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.
