Early in his book, Zahid Hussain, a well-known Pakistani journalist, labels his native land as "the most ungovernable country in the world." He then describes President Pervez Musharraf as a military dictator who, by siding with the United States in the so-called "war on terror", has led Pakistan "to war with itself." The 11 chapters that constitute the book, however, reveal a different picture. Each chapter deals with one aspect of the problems that Pakistan faces, including the role of the military, the ascendancy of Islamist groups, the nuclear race with India, the various wars in Afghanistan since the 1970s,...

UK mosques call for beating of unveiled women, "throwing homosexuals from mountains," crucifixion of "apostates," and hostility to "kaffirs." Koran says women are "deficient" "If she doesn't wear the hijab, we hit her." "Go out and perform the jihad." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MSFbhIG-sk&eurl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoi5DWt3b0w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_TjzCcTkE8

Dr. Tawfik Hamid doesn't tell people where he lives. Not the street, not the city, not even the country. It's safer that way. It's only the letters of testimony from some of the highest intelligence officers in the Western world that enable him to move freely. This medical doctor, author and activist once was a member of Egypt's Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (Arabic for "the Islamic Group"), a banned terrorist organization. He was trained under Ayman al-Zawahiri, the bearded jihadi who appears in Bin Laden's videos, telling the world that Islamic violence will stop only once we all become Muslims. He's a...

Two recent articles on National Review Online demonstrate what I consider to be the two biggest failures to date in thinking about the War on Terror: a studied refusal by most westerners—including American conservatives who support the war—to admit that we are in a clash of civilizations with militant Islam, and a comcomitant failure to recognize that America and her allies have not fought this war with anywhere near the ferocity required to win.

Just announced on the Fox News Channel that the Israeli Security Cabinet has approved a wider ground war.

In operations that began overnight in the southern Lebanese villages of Bint Jbeil, Ramya, Itrun, and Ayara Al-Mantzuri, IDF forces eliminated in excess of 30 Hezbollah terrorists, among them four members of an anti-tank missile cell. The force arrested three terrorists in the village of Shihin and two more in Bint Jbeil. During the operation forces found and destroyed eight missile launchers and a Hezbollah war room in Ayara Al-Mantzuri, and another missile launcher north of the village of Maron A-Ras. In addition, IDF reserve forces operating near Ayara Bayde, also in the western sector of southern Lebanon, destroyed a...

AUGUST 2, 2006 ED KOCH NEWS & COLUMNS Israel’s response to Hezbollah has demonstrated to the enemies of the Jewish state that Israel will stand up and fight. This is in marked contrast to Spain, France and Germany under Schroeder, who have blinked and withdrawn responding to Islamic terror or threatened terror. Thankfully, our country’s leaders appreciate that we are at war with international terrorism. The West confronts a war of civilizations that is not for the fainthearted. There are those who believe that negotiations without the will to engage in military action will suffice. They are wrong. For 58...

Desperate, desperate to be evil! When I first heard that the Islamists that carried out the 9/11 massacre were desperate, I wanted to find out what it means, does IT refer to the huge sums of money Al Qaida has fed their families, to the sex with dhimmis before the act, or their private, relatively, normal material conditions. When I heard about propagandists whining hypocritically about "desperate" Arab Muslim 'Palestinian' genocide bombers' "plight", I was very curious if it refers to the various cases of those having a relative normal and even established life or to those radical clerics, that...

When Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the Holocaust a "myth" this week, he wasn't only embracing one of the key tenets of modern anti-Semitism.

Experts say his harsh rhetoric was also an...

It is time that we take the word liberal away from the left. The word that is identified with liberty and freedom has been hijacked by those who loath the very concepts that liberty implies. Words such as liberal, socialist and communist have become archaic, and have lost their true meanings. We should choose a new fitting and more descriptive word that better illustrates what leftists are really all about. Liberal theory will always fail because it denies the very nature of human beings. We are individuals and will always live and act in our own self interests. To the...

The Islamic Saudi Academy in Alexandria is an outpost of militant Islam, say critics who point out that the school's 1999 valedictorian is charged with joining al Qaeda and plotting to assassinate President Bush. Two other persons connected to the academy also have been linked to terrorism-related cases, and a U.S. senator has asked the Justice Department to investigate the school. The school was founded in 1984, primarily to serve children of the Saudi diplomatic corps. Today, the student body is more diverse, with nearly three dozen countries represented, but much of the funding still comes from the Saudi government....

Some European Muslims are being drawn towards militant Islamism while still in their teens, in a trend which is increasingly worrying security services. Police and intelligence officials say they are concerned about evidence that disaffected young Muslims, born and bred in Europe as children of immigrant families, are easy targets for radicalisation. Examples include the radical Dutch "Hofstad Group" linked to the accused killer of film maker Theo van Gogh, and a group of young Muslims recruited in France to fight in Iraq. "Radical Muslims are becoming younger," said a Dutch security source who said some youths were being drawn...

TROUBLE SPEAK Ward Churchill copied 'original' art piece Takes a swing at TV reporter who confronted him -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 26, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Professor Ward Churchill Adding to a growing list of allegations, controversial University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill appears to have violated copyright law by claiming a reknowned artist's work as his own. Churchill, whose integrity has been challenged since news broke earlier last month of his paper blaming victims of 9-11 for the attacks, made an Indian-theme serigraph in 1981 called "Winter Attack" and printed 150 copies. But one of the buyers,...

Ward Hill as a member of the schismatic Boulder/Denver branch of AIM [American Indian Movement] as spent his whole life trashing the FBI and police. Here is what he said in his "Roosting Chickens" article. He is an anarchist who publishes his books through anarchist publishers. He wants to trash our law enforcement and intelligence organizations so that we will be destroyed. He doesn't want to make them better. He want the USA off the planet. He has often depicted the FBI and CIA as terrorist organizations.

Ward Churchill is the professor from Colorado University who called the dead in the World Trade Center "Nazis" and also said that the US deserved 9/11, and that we should have not fought back. Prof Churchill may get fired from the University of Colorado-Bolder He may appear on March 1st, time pending, if the administration approves of it.

In his FrontPage Magazine article Andrew Alexander’s Lies About the Cold War, Jamie Glazov speaks of the Soviet regime’s aggressive and expansionist designs against the West in the post-WWII period, and how de-classified Soviet sources prove that they had extensively infiltrated their agents into Western society. "...the Venona transcripts are thousands of Soviet intelligence messages that were intercepted and decoded over four decades by the FBI and the NSA (National Security Agency). Released over the past few years, these files prove that there was a large-scale Communist penetration of the U.S. government, and that Communist spies passed on valuable information...

<p>An excerpt: "The Jews take pride in something they lie about - the Jews and the Christians. Allah says that the Jews and the Christians say: "We are the sons of Allah and His beloved." and they declare this throughout the world, to modern intellectual streams, to international organizations, and to nations and countries. They say: "Oh people, we, the Jews and Christians, are the sons of Allah and His beloved. Allah made us His sons." They are lying, Allah's wrath upon them."</p>
