Totalitarianism Featured Comparing Islam and Nazism: some common misconceptions The horrors perpetrated by the Nazis were concealed from the wider Nazi population for very good reason: they were not cruel enough to stomach it, despite their rabid anti-Semitism. This is why comparing Hamas to the Nazis makes no sense at all.
Totalitarianism Featured So you thought Corbyn was bad... When British police asked the public to report “hate crime” even if they have no evidence and even if no crime has been committed, we see the infrastructure within which “Islamophobia” makes perfect sense: if it's not a crime, it needs no definition. Control becomes arbitrary, power totalitarian.
Da'wah Featured Ayaan's da'wah, Part 4 They see it only as a matter of Muslims deserving the freedom to not be Muslim, rather than everyone deserving the freedom to not be Muslim. This latter freedom is conditional on Islam being eradicated, completely, with the only Muslims being ex-Muslims.
Totalitarianism Featured Biden-Sinwar-Khamenei Pact* Biden probably really believes that Israel should learn to live with a Palestinian state armed by Iran. If Israel is not ready for this, so be it—America will continue to pretend to defend human rights. The question of why this human must be a genocidal terrorist might be considered tactless.
Propaganda Featured What do those who can't see see?* The students fall silent, look at the ground, the journalist expresses thanks for the interview and leaves. When he's gone, one of the students goes "talk to someone about him." "It was weird," he says, brushing the dirt off his jeans. "The organisers need to know about it."
Apostasy Featured Had Orwell but known Islam. Part 3 The simple believer must cling to the meagre faith that has been ordained for his inadequate station, grateful for the little he has been favoured with. At the end of the day, the closest thing to a guarantee that a lay Muslim has of reaching Paradise, is to kill and be killed in the cause of Allah.
Propaganda Featured The resurrection of the monster, or love for crime* We are witnessing the resurrection of the monster of totalitarianism. Young and beautiful Westerners pant with love for murder. They talk about empathy, they hurriedly erase any trace that might tell them the truth about themselves.
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.
Propaganda Featured Decolonising Captive Minds* Is there any chance of the decolonising captive minds? In places like Gaza, it takes a resounding defeat of the organisation that nurtures sadistic murderers. In the democratic West, there is no hope for the time being.
Editorials Featured Editorial We need to remind ourselves of how we rose to become the kind of people who are sickened and revolted by the massacre of the Jews, and offended by being fed lies, and how Muslims sank to become the kind of people who revel in slaughter and lie all the time.
Propaganda Featured Who gets the credit for Muslim anti-Semitism: Hitler or Muhammad? Answer to Israel Academia Monitor By highlighting these cruelties, and in a tone of moral outrage, Dr Küntzel wishes to imply that this hadith is unfit to be Islamic, that by its cruelty and sadism it disqualifies itself. The implication, of course, is that anything in Islam that is cruel and sadistic could not possibly be Islamic.
Israel Featured The unsung heroes of the Israel Supreme Court controversy The Supreme Court setting itself up as the sovereign authority in the land impels the government towards "pragmatic" laws that will not fall foul of the Supreme Court, to err on the side of caution. This makes the Israel Supreme Court a politburo, the very negation of democracy.
Totalitarianism Featured Orwell, Jabotinsky, Fascism and Islam - Part 2 "At every hour of every day, I can tell you on which page of which book each school child in Italy is studying." — Benito Mussolini
Totalitarianism Featured Orwell, Jabotinsky, Fascism and Islam - Part 1 The process begins with tainting reality with the mark of the condemned: “2+2=4 reeks of white supremacist patriarchy.” From here it is a small step to 2+2= whatever the architects of Rubel’s mind decide it is today.
Totalitarianism Featured One year of Western escalation submission in Ukraine: what lessons? The power of nuclear weapons lies not in their use, but in their possession, provided you maintain escalation dominance. Conceding escalation dominance reduces you to one of two states: ineffective nuclear weapons; or nuclear war. Unless you are a nihilist, your nuclear weapons become useless.
Totalitarianism Featured As Holocaust clouds gather again, EU Commission rushes to appoint “Islamophobia” Czarina To be accused of “Islamophobia” is, by that very act, to be guilty of it, for it is an accusation against which there can be no defence, against which everyone has to constantly prove their innocence to avoid being accused.
Dissidents/Ex-Muslims While their voices may still legally be heard Tyranny does not begin with the end of freedom, it begins with indifference to the end of freedom.
Totalitarianism Featured And STILL they prattle on about a “women’s revolution” - Part 3 The Iranian regime is not against women per se; it is against everyone who is not the Supreme Leader. Everyone is subject to arbitrary control, and the arbitrary power of all strata ends up borne by women, in Iran instrumentalised in the hijab.
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.
Totalitarianism Featured Christopher Hitchens’s “Axis of Evil” speech, Part 2: Iran The Iranian mullahs lost so many young people in the suicide waves that they sent against Iraq, the sending of gangs of school children and teenagers to clear minefields on the Iraqi border. There's not enough room in large parts of Iran to bury the number of people they killed.
Polemics Featured Msreading Iran "Women Life Freedom" is not a feminist slogan and this is not a “women’s revolution.” The events unfolding in major parts of the Muslim world mean that after almost 200 years, the 1848 revolutions finally resume: the autonomous individual is far from dead, with a tip of the hat to George Orwell.
Polemics Featured "Islam is not a religion," Answer to Lloyd de Jongh - Part 5 Religion makes it possible for the "scholars" to pervert the lay Muslims' humanity to such an extent that they are willing to kill their own children, yet are ready to die for God. If that is not a religion, then I do not know what is.
Polemics Featured "Islam is not a religion," Answer to Lloyd de Jongh - Part 4 It might offend Lloyd de Jongh to learn that for Islam, his religion is not important enough to warrant "correcting" its errors.
Polemics Featured "Islam is not a religion," Answer to Lloyd de Jongh - Part 3 "You shouldn’t be in the totalitarianism business if you can't exploit a ready-made reservoir of credulity and servility that’s as big as that." —Christopher Hitchens.
