Jihad has rapidly taken a new and ominous shape. In the past, bombs were exploded—either human homicide bombs or car/truck bombs. Rockets were launched. Unbelievably, planes were once flown into major Western targets. Now, President Obama empowers the radical Islamic world further by refusing to join the words “terrorism” and “Islam” and by
Five separate sets of potential fireworks have been igniting simultaneously in the Middle East for the last few weeks, each of them adding fuel to the fires caused by the others. If and when these developments reach the kindling point, the entire region may go up in uncontrollable flames. These are the sources of
It is good to be an American. That was the gist of President Barack Obama’s speech tonight before a packed house – mostly Republicans. Few were smiling. The President focused on the economy, which he did gladly, since both unemployment and gas prices are downץ Nowhere, however, did he mention that about
Obama's State of the Union address was laudable for some of what he said and frightening because of the things he did not quite say or said inaccurately.

In an extraordinary speech (translated on Raymond Ibrahim’s blog and virtually unnoticed by the world media) delivered on New Year’s Day by Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to the religious imams of
It was a year of tragedy and disaster for the Jews of Europe, but also a year in which some of the seeds of the Jewish state were planted. The year 1915 was a difficult time for the world and for the Jewish people which was caught in the middle of the storm. As
Has anyone at all woken up? Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Arab leader who giggled his way through the solemn anti-terror rally in Paris, is ready to try the UN again. He wants recognition of “Palestine” as an independent state (which it never was). Should he get the required votes this time around
My fellow Europeans. It is very sad to bury so many young innocent people, murdered by extremist Islamists just because they criticized Mohammed in cartoons or were born Jewish. The murderers are not just 'terrorists'. They are murderers. The difference between them and other murderers is the purpose behind their evil deeds. They don't
