Iran once again up for a seat in UN women’s rights organization
It’s absurd enough that this would happen once, but it’s not the first time. And Saudi Arabia is up for a supporting role.

Stewart-Colbert “sanity” rally features Yusuf Islam, who called for the murder of Salman Rushdie

Pierre Rehov: Suicide Killing — Proliferation
A new film is coming from the great Pierre Rehov: SUICIDE KILLING – PROLIFERATION Billions have been invested by Saudi Arabia in US universities in the last years. At the same time, our western values have been eroded by moral relativism. This leads an entire generation to believe in new mythologies such as: a genocide […]
Max Boot in Commentary: American victims of Al-Qaeda and Taliban are “shaheeds”
Max Boot’s words here in the reliably dhimmi and consistently wrongheaded Commentary illustrate the problem with the enterprises in Iraq and Afghanistan in general: the analysts who pushed for American military action in both had no idea of the nature of Islam, and particularly of the central role of Sharia as a political system within […]
