An amendment to the Oklahoma state constitution would ban the use of sharia law in court rulings.
In France, young Muslims have been rioting for days—not about the age of retirement but in a display of hostility towards the French Republic; some are now describing this violence as “anti-French racism.” In Holland, young Muslims riot incessantly and call out the vilest hate speech imaginable against America, Israel, Jews, Holland, and infidels—and yet Dutch politician, Geert Wilders, is still the one on trial for telling the truth about Islamic jihad because it offended some Muslims.
No, the Wilders trial is not yet over; three judges must first agree with both the defense and the prosecution who have both asked that all charges be dropped.
Meanwhile, in the United States, Juan Williams was just fired by NPR aka National Palestinian Radio for admitting that he, like so many others, including many Muslims, “feels” some trepidation when he sees Arabs in Islamic clothing board a plane.
But Americans face an even more serious danger than offended Muslims or foreign and home grown Muslim terrorists. read more…
It’s now official: Apartheid is a feminist issue. For years, I have been challenging feminists to take up this cause. Had I finally found oil, discovered gold?
I received an invitation via email, both in English and in French, which began:
Calling all feminists…We are inviting you to participate in the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sections) 2010 Conference…from October 22 to 24, 2010, artists, academics, activists…and concerned individuals will converge upon Montreal for this historic conference, which aims to consolidate and push forward the global movement for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israeli apartheid…”The Conference workshop ‘Israeli Apartheid as a Feminist Issue’…[will] explore ways in which feminist organizations in Quebec, Canada and beyond can contribute to the BDS movement.
Even as Chancellor Angela Merkel pronounces the failure of “multiculturalism” in Germany, the English-language German newspaper reporter, Marc Young, writing for the English-language German news at The Local, proclaims that “bigotry towards Muslims is the new anti-Semitism.”
As the author of a book with the title The New Anti-Semitism (with an edition in German), allow me to remind Mr. Young that one of the things that is “new” about this most ancient of hatreds is that it is pandemic in the Islamic world and in Muslim communities in the West and that the multicultural relativists in the world’s universities, media, and political leadership, are collaborating with it in the name of “political correctness.” read more…
Should the West ban the face veil and the burqa?
Wouldn’t it be religiously intolerant, racist, even “Islamophobic” to do so?
Let’s hear from some Arabs and Muslims on the subject. read more…
It is 2010, ninety years after American women first won the right to vote, and nearly fifty years after Betty Friedan’s influential work “The Feminine Mystique” was published, and women still do not want to vote for women. read more…
Holland is on my mind right now, partly because Geert Wilders is, unbelievably, still on trial for the “thought crime” of telling the truth about Islamic jihad but partly because a new study has just been released which shows that half the victims of honor-related violence in Holland (this means Muslim girls and women) who sought shelter through the social service network, Fier Fryslan, were also sexually abused by their own family members. read more…
A mass rally-demonstration entitled “For the truth, for Israel” will be held in Rome this Thursday. It is being organized by Fiamma Nirenstein – journalist, MP, and vice president of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Italian Chamber of Deputies –and other leading European personalities. Information at www.truthforisrael.eu, www.fiammanirenstein.com. This article was commissioned for it.
Potentially, Israel faces a Second Holocaust.
Indeed, many Europeans continue Hitler’s war against the Jews by supporting fifty seven Islamic apartheid nation states against the single Jewish democratic state. read more…
The first conference I ever attended about global anti-Semitism took place in New York City in early 2003 at the Center for the Study of Jewish History; my son accompanied me. The more I heard, the unhappier I grew. My son could not understand why. He asked: “Mom, why are you groaning? They are saying exactly what you’ve written in your manuscript.” My book, The New Anti-Semitism, was about to be published early that summer.
I explained: “But they are the world’s experts on this subject. I am only the new kid on the block. If they haven’t taken it further than I have, then we’re all in terrible trouble.”
I have lived long enough to have this eerie, humbling experience any number of times since then. read more…

This past weekend, a throng—nay, a large crowd of Harvard students publicly taunted, shamed, and stalked the venerable liberal intellectual Martin Peretz. Like the jihadists who distribute videos of their beheadings, the protesters also released their mini “Aktion” on YouTube. They call it: “Party for Marty.” read more…

In the '60s good-intentioned leftist women supported this gang of violent rapists. And history repeats itself...

It’s the 1960s all over again, and I am talking about the dark side, not the glamorous, glorious side.
What is happening on the West Bank reminds me of the American 1960s, when idealistic young white and Jewish women, who thought they were volunteering for Martin Luther King’s non-violent movement for black civil rights, found themselves up against many angry, sociopathic, criminal, and sexually violent members of the Black Panther Party. I was one. I have my war stories. read more…
I have been writing about a possible Second Holocaust against the Jewish state for a long time now.
I am pleased—but that is not the right word—I am saddened, sobered, frightened, by the fact that others have now joined me in this view. read more…
