Fasting causes terrorism
Slate makes an Islam expert out of a barely Muslim Iranian-American boy. Rezaian admits freely to being ''consulted...on matters I was completely unqualified to address.'' He feels so much better about Islam once he learns that some Muslims drink in hiding. This is ''pragmatism''. Wow. The anti-Islam attitude is striking. Somehow Islam is ...

Maroc: The Servile King And His Beaten People
King Mohammed VI of Morocco claims to be a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad (saaw), is he ready to be judged by the highest standard? Yes, Anne Applebaum, former AEI adjunct fellow, celebrates Morocco as a ''crowning'' improvement of her idea of an 'Islamic' state. But this word ''Islamic'' is being used as an adjective, not as a legal ...

The Feminist War: Deconstructing the Family
The feminist paradigm was born of women's conditions in the Judeo Christian Western Europe. But it has recently become a global crusade, in particular, on the Muslim world. While there are certainly chronic and systemic problems regarding women in the Muslim world, Islam is not the cause. Rather, there is NO country in the world today which ...

Does Iran Counter-balancing Israel bring Stability?
I suppose being an Israeli nowadays is quite bleak. Warmongers dominate all politics in Israel, apparently, and normal relations with allies who are distant neighbors can be destructive for them - Georgia being such an example. I suppose it seems like increasing Israeli military actions throughout the region is the only solution to protecting ...

Straight Talk About Israel
Mr Rosner does really invoke TRUTH regarding Israeli US relations. Instead, he calls for downplaying them. Why? Might it be that Rosner does not want the truth about Israeli US relations to be revealed? After 1948, Israel was an modern independent nation with its own foreign policy agenda which included expansion and inclusion of the ancient ...

Iran’s Missiles and the coming Mid-East War
Displaying its usual tin ear for news, the targets the MSM most often mention are Israel, U.S. troops in Iraq, and Europe. The ones that should take note of Iran’s missiles are the Sunni Arabs or almost all of the Middle East. The U.S. overthrow of Saddam and installation of the Iran friendly Shia in Iraq has drastically changed a Middle East ...

Iraq: Failure, mistake, or Success?
Much has been stated about the fact that we were wrong to enter Iraq. That success is measured by how quickly we can get out of Iraq. Consider this: Iraq is in the heart of what most extremist Muslims consider holy ground. By attacking Iraq we attacked the heart of what the extremist Muslim holds dear. They have responded in force. Millions of ...

Re: Power, Faith, and Fantasy...
Oren's book is fairly accurate regarding American foreign policy. But even it does not go far enough into elucidating the grander themes of American foreign policy's ''world vision''. Rubma, while you are reading the era between WWI and WWII, please note whom are the world powers at that time, whom are controlling and dominating the Middle East ...

Krebs Can't Shake Imperial Thinking
It seems like so many pundits, thinkers, politicans, and leaders in America just can't shake the mindset that America must advance its interests abroad through conniving double talk, backstabbing hypocricy, and cutthroat manicheanism. Its like the abuser that beats his kids, realizes its wrong, but resorts back to beating them because it just ...
