Panic in Washington: Is Iran and Syria’s Regime Winning and What to Do About It?

By June 14, 2013

  A new, important development has taken place in the Syrian civil war: Western panic that the rebels are losing has replaced optimism. This has spurred a desire to do something about the war. But how can the West do enough to prevent the feared rebel defeat? It isn’t going to intervene directly, nor with [...]

How to Understand Islamism: Read What its Leaders Really Say

By June 13, 2013

To read Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s 1984 book, Islamic Education and Hasan al-Bana, is to get an Islamic education. Nobody should be allowed to talk about Islam or political Islamism without having read this or similar texts. Just as Marx claimed in the “Communist Manifesto” for his movement, the Islamists, too, disdain to conceal their aims. Yet [...]

The West’s New Syrian War

By June 11, 2013

One day people will ask how the United States and several European countries became involved in mass killings, genocide, corruption, arms smuggling, and the creation of another anti-Western and regionally destabilizing government. Even if a single Western soldier is never sent, the West is on the verge of serious intervention in Syria. The choices are [...]

THE DOJ ENDS TERRORISM INDICTMENTS In April 2011, a top Department of Justice official informed this author that senior DOJ officials had quashed the indictment of CAIR cofounder Omar Ahmad in March 2010, along with other Islamic leaders, in the planned second round of prosecutions related to the Holy Land Foundation case. After two press [...]

Why Expanded Government Spying Doesn’t Mean Better Security Against Terrorism

By June 10, 2013

  What is most important to understand about the revelations of massive message interception by the U.S. government is this: In counterterrorist terms, it is a farce. The fallacy behind the current intelligence strategy of the United States, the collection of massive amounts of phone calls, emails, and even credit card expenditures, up to 3 [...]

Plagiarized?

By June 9, 2013

A BBC-Watch site accuses a BBC journalist of cribbing from one of my articles: Yesterday I praised Paul Danahar for his realistic and reasoned analysis of the situation in Syria and compared it favourably against the efforts of Mark Mardell whose reports seem coloured by his admiration for Obama. But I was looking at this [...]

Obama Middle East Policy: Wrong Team, Wrong Ideas

By June 7, 2013

In the Middle East, to paraphrase President Barack Obama’s mentor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the dodo birds are coming home to roost. At this moment, the administration’s policy team consists of CIA director John Brennan, father of the “”moderate” Islamism-and-the-Muslim Brotherhood-are-good school; the Secretary of State John Kerry who thinks he is going to make [...]

Kerry’s Embarrassing “Peace Process” Obsession

By June 6, 2013

There’s an old saying: it’s better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a fool than to speak and prove it. That is Secretary of State John Kerry’s problem. What is remarkable is how Kerry has painted himself into a corner, not just staking his term as secretary of state on making Israel-Palestinian peace but [...]

Make Room for Islamistgate: The Obama Administration’s New Scandal

By June 4, 2013

Up to now the Obama Administration has faced three big scandals—the IRS, the bugging of AP and Fox, and Benghazi. And now here is scandal Number 4: For the last four years the Obama Administration has conducted a major “outreach” program to Islamic groups in the United States and in the Middle East. Patrick Poole [...]

Palestinian Authority Finds Perfect Prime Minister

By June 3, 2013

The Palestinian Authority (PA) leader Mahmoud Abbas has appointed a new prime minister. He is Ram Hamdullah. Who? It is useful to remember that the post of PA prime minister was originally forced on PLO, PA, and Fatah leader Yasir Arafat ten years ago in the hope of getting the PA to be more moderate [...]
