Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6 are here. XII The Peace to Prosperity plan also holds dangers for Israel. After Oslo, the “secular,” PLO brigades were let into Judea, Samaria and Gaza, purportedly to fight and defeat the “Islamist” Hamas. According to Nabil Shaath, a top PLO official: “You […]
Jihading the Holocaust: Auschwitz and the Knesset (Part 6)
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 are here. XI On top of all the complexities of the Muslim identity, discussed earlier, the Muslim Israeli Arab grapples with multiple entangled conundrums. The dominant narrative holds that “Palestinian Israelis” are forced to have Israeli citizenship, not by the Israeli state — many Arabs […]
Jihading the Holocaust: Auschwitz and the Knesset (Part 5)
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 are here. X One can only wonder whether Jewish denial of Islam’s hatred and final plan for them is of a piece with the denial of Jewish dhimmitude under Islam. It would seem that at the heart of the whole Jewish experience lurks denial. Confront one denial […]
Jihading the Holocaust: Auschwitz and the Knesset (Part 4)
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 are here. In Part 3 of Jihading the Holocaust, we looked at the identity of Muslim Arabs in Israel against the background of Jewish delusions and wishful thinking concerning “Israeli Arab” allegiances. Some of the ideological and cultural aspects of Islam were situated within its barbarous political economy. We […]
Dhimmis Are Not Second-Class Citizens
A dhimmi is a qualifying infidel who has turned down an “invitation” to accept Islam, for which refusal the Muslims, by command of Allah, not to mention personal affront, should kill him. As an act of gracious magnanimity and mercy, though, the Islamic state “protects” such a qualifying infidel by conditionally suspending Allah’s command to […]
Jihading the Holocaust (Part 3)
So far, in examining the Muslim hijacking of the Holocaust for Jihad, we have introduced two related phenomena: Muslims pretending to commemorate the Holocaust along with Jews, and non-Muslims duped by such deceit (both in the Knesset and in the “interfaith” world), especially around commemoration events such as the liberation of the Nazi death camp […]
Jihading the Holocaust: Auschwitz and the Knesset (Part 2)
Part 1 can be found here. III Delusion, extreme wishful-thinking, relativism and that lowest of low bars, have been dished out in spadefuls in response to MK Mansour Abbas’ Holocaust Remembrance Day speech in the Knesset. Here is a small sampling from the comments sections of articles and from Twitter: “This is really and incredibly […]
Jihading the Holocaust: Auschwitz and the Knesset (Part 1)
An Israeli saying has it that the “Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” Jared Kushner, architect of President Trump’s Peace to Prosperity plan, the so-called Deal of the Century, accepted this premise as a challenge, and devised an opportunity so good that no “Palestinian” could possibly miss it, or so he thought. […]
Iran’s Staggering Incompetence: The Islamic Republic Does It Yet Again
When a US drone strike killed Iranian terrorist general Qassim Soleimani in January, the clamor of condemnation of President Donald Trump eventually gave way to the more sober assessment that the US had shot and killed an Iranian general plus four other top-level terrorist leaders in a single military attack without any of its soldiers […]
When Muslims Who Reject “Man-made” Laws Resort to Non-Muslim Authorities to Advance Islam
Islamic supremacist Azfal Khan, alias Labour MP Afzal Khan, alias Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Commons Azfal Khan, has just bettered himself by appealing to the government he’s working to abolish for help in dealing with English nationalist and veteran counter-jihadist Tommy Robinson. Much as perpetrators of jihad loathe institutions that promulgate “laws […]
Guide for the Perplexed: Infidels, the Coronavirus and Ramadan
Eight days from now, Ramadan will once again be upon us. Some things will not change: Muslims will fast during the day and binge at night; jihad mass murders will spike; the mainstream media will carry double-page spreads extolling the virtues of these spiritually advanced people getting closer to God; and so forth. But some […]
The contradiction between “Allahu akbar” and “La illaha illallah” (There is no god but Allah)
“Allahu akbar” means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god. This is shirk at the very heart of Islam. It directly contradicts, “There is no god, but Allah.” If there is no god, but Allah, then who is the god that Allah is greater than? For Allah to be greater than another god, there […]
Hamas top dog: “If ventilators are not brought into Gaza, we’ll stop the breathing of six million Israelis”
The Gospels offer the world many words of wisdom. One of these is, “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces” (Matthew 7:6). Yesterday, the Times of Israel reported that Hamas terror chief Yahya […]
Jewish Dhimmitude under Islam Creeps into the Open
It’s little, it’s late, it’s tentative, but it is no longer a denial. Occasionally an honest and bold commentator mentions the unmentionable in the Israeli media: Jewish dhimmitude under Islam. It usually doesn’t get very far. The Jerusalem Post on March 23, 2020 puts a toe in the water with Rabbi Eli Kavon’s Maimonides on […]
Islam Comes Face-to-Face with Its Own Fundamental Contradiction
It is often asserted that Islam is incompatible with one or another of civilisation’s Enlightenment achievements, such as freedom, human rights, equality, democracy, Western society, individual autonomy, etc. All such claims are, of course, correct. Yet they present only a limited picture, for each of these incompatibilities represents only a particular manifestation of a far […]
Muslim Priorities in a Dangerous Pandemic
Yesterday I popped into hospital to have a recovering wound on my leg checked. The pedestrian entrance had been blocked off, with a temporary field hospital set up right on the road. The doctors at the entrance wanted to know whether I had any of the COVID-19 symptoms. I did not, but asked them to […]
Fiction in a Time of Lies
As the “Satanic Verses Affair” was ramping up, an influential Muslim spokesperson approached Salman Rushdie with a request that the author put a notification on the cover of The Satanic Verses that this was a novel, and that the story was fiction and not fact. The disappointed spokesperson later complained that despite his having approached […]
“Scholarly” COVID-19: Science, Democracy, Allah and Totalitarianism
In a blistering 6 March New York Times op-ed, How Iran Completely and Utterly Botched Its Response to the Coronavirus, former Iranian doctors Kamiar Alaei and Arash Alaei conclude that, “The most important lesson of the coronavirus crisis in Iran is that health policy must never be politicized, especially in terms of emergency medical response.” […]
Allah’s Mischief, the Ummah’s Misery
“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and make mischief in the land is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in […]
The Muslim’s Inner Struggles (Part 8)
A contemporary Muslim is an anguished being preoccupied with mediaeval concerns. Never before in the history of Islam has it faced a danger such as this. For the first time, Muslims en masse are reclaiming their place in humanity and rejoining history. Islam has always relied on Muslims being unequivocally Muslim in clear contradistinction to […]
