Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

There is no such thing as “Islamophobia”

Nov 15, 2017 7:28 am By Michael Devolin

“If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.” — Abraham Lincoln, speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854. There is no such thing as “Islamophobia.” This fact has been proven by sharper minds than mine. People are not so much afraid of Islam and Muslims […]

Those Who Show Their Good Qualities In Action

Jul 29, 2017 2:52 pm By Michael Devolin

“In the arena of human life the honours and rewards fall to those who show their good qualities in action.” — Aristotle Khadija Khan’s article in Gatestone Institute titled “Hero Imams” has become the latest proverbial light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel story in regard to the modern-day bane of Islamic terrorism. Khan writes: “More than 60 Islamic leaders and […]

The Worst of All Tyrannies

Jul 19, 2017 10:54 am By Michael Devolin

“Of all the tyrannies of humankind, The worse is that which persecutes the mind.” -John Dryden Facebook recently blocked me because I used an expletive to describe Omar Khadr, the convicted jihad terrorist (still a Canadian citizen) who just received 10.5 million dollars and a public apology from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Of course, it’s […]

The World Wants To Be Deceived

Jul 3, 2017 9:07 am By Michael Devolin

“The world wants to be deceived.” — Sebastian Brant, Ship of Fools, 1494 Immediately following every terrorist attack there is always the usual burst of exculpatory commentary on how the religion of Islam is in no way connected to the terrorism committed by Muslims. Muslims are the most common victims of terrorism, so how can […]

Those Who Have Differed

May 9, 2017 9:37 am By Michael Devolin

“We owe almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed, but to those who have differed.” — Charles Caleb Colton, 1825 Nothing brings the unpleasant truths of a thing to light as much as the apologetics constructed to conceal them. If it is true that “a crooked tree casts a crooked shadow,” it […]

Islam Is As Islam Does

Apr 29, 2017 11:13 am By Michael Devolin

“No religion can be considered in abstraction from its followers, or even from its various types of followers.” — Alfred North Whitehead, from Adventures in Ideas (1933) Publilius Syrus wrote long ago that “there are some remedies worse than the disease.” We could say as much about most of the Western world’s erroneous ideas about […]

Making Things Appear What They Are Not

Apr 6, 2017 5:03 am By Michael Devolin

“Half the work that is done in the world is to make things appear what they are not.” –E.R.Beadle Recently there was a terrorist attack in London, England. Police confirmed there were five dead and forty injured. The attacker, a devout Muslim, was shot by police, but not before he stabbed to death one of […]

Turning Our Backs on One Half of the World

Mar 3, 2017 10:12 am By Michael Devolin

“It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world.” – George Dennison Prentice George Dennison Prentice, I’m sure, will always be judged by a majority of readers as hard-hearted and […]

A Fixed Way of Looking at the World

Feb 10, 2017 9:18 am By Michael Devolin

“A myth is a fixed way of looking at the world which cannot be destroyed because, looked at through the myth, all evidence supports that myth.” — Edward de Bono In a recent article in the Huffington Post, Thomas Woodley tells his readers that “Islamophobia” is defined as a “dislike of or prejudice against Islam […]

Islam’s Litigious Paranoia

Jan 15, 2017 10:12 am By Michael Devolin

“Though anti-Zionism formed a core principle of pan-Arab solidarity since the 1920s — it is easier, after all, to unite people through a common hatred than through a shared loyalty — its invocation has almost always served as an instrument for achieving the self-interested ends of those who proclaim it.” — Efraim Karsh, from ‘Justice […]

The Left Has Become the New Right

Nov 7, 2016 5:53 am By Michael Devolin

“After the death of Jozef Pilsudski in 1935, anti-Semitism increased in Poland and particularly in the universities. Right-wing students attacked Jews and demanded ‘ghetto benches’ in the lecture halls to segregate Jewish students. Although many eminent Polish scholars protested, the situation continued to worsen.” — Samuel D. Kassow, from Who will write our history? (rediscovering […]

We Are Living In A Nihilistic World

Oct 13, 2016 2:01 pm By Michael Devolin

  “Americans have learned to expect, after every Islamist terror attack, lectures instructing them that such assaults should in no way be connected to Islamic faith of any kind.” — Dorothy Rabinowitz In Vancouver, B.C. they are now handing out free heroin to addicts. Turns out that the B.C. government is spending more money on […]

Children Who Will Never Have Time To Become Adults

Sep 22, 2016 8:55 am By Michael Devolin

“…everything began like a children’s game, a game played by children who will never have time to become adults.” — Marc Levy, from Children Of Freedom   One of my greatest fears today is that my children will never have time to become adults. As a teenager, my greatest fear was of having to go […]

The Love of Justice

Jul 11, 2016 3:15 pm By Michael Devolin

“The love of justice in most men is simply the fear of suffering injustice.” – La Rochefoucauld A CBC Calgary headline reads: “Calgary among 6 Canadian cities to sign charter against Islamophobia.” As a Canadian, I am concerned that this same charter will inevitably be used to silence all criticism of Islam the religion for […]

“Modern Islam Is Already Impossible”

Jun 28, 2016 10:16 am By Michael Devolin

“You can not reform a religion. If they are reformed, [the original meaning] is separated from it. Therefore, modern Muslims and a modern Islam is already impossible. If there is no separation between religion and state, there will be no democracy especially without equality for women. Then we will keep a theocratic system. So it […]

“Don’t ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.” — Robert Frost In a recent article in Canada’s National Post, Tom Blackwell writes about the findings of an Alberta study which suggests that there is “a culture clash…common for graduates of foreign medical schools.” He recounts that some doctors new […]

Mediocre Minds

May 3, 2016 10:14 am By Michael Devolin

“Mediocre minds usually dismiss anything which reaches beyond their own understanding.” -La Rochefoucauld The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (now there’s a contradiction in terms!) has issued a statement conveying its disapproval of Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu’s declaration during a recent cabinet visit to the area when he assured Israelis that “the Golan will always remain […]

What We Fear

Apr 2, 2016 10:37 am By Michael Devolin

“What we feared has happened.” — Charles Michel, Prime Minister of Belgium I’ve been expecting Islam’s defenders and apologists to accuse Belgium’s Prime Minister Charles Michel of Islamophobia. So far, weeks after the attack, no journalist has dared brand this leader an Islamophobe, even though he has openly admitted to being afraid of and anticipating […]

A Malignant Ape

Feb 16, 2016 9:31 am By Michael Devolin

Hypocrite Lecteur

Jan 13, 2016 5:46 pm By Michael Devolin

“And you, hypocrite lecteur, What makes you so superior?” -Louis Simpson, from There You Are I find it so very telling that whenever a majority of the population show their support for a cause or a personality the media and the Left disagree with or disapprove of, that support is deprecated as populism–as though populism […]
