Of course. I certainly don't want to violate any rules here.
Are the opinions of Stephen Emerson (writer for The New Republic and author of the book Warriors: Inside the Covert Military...
I agree that quoting verses out of context is a dubious practice. However, more persuasive sources of information on Islamic tradition and law are often the Islamic scholars themselves. Such as...
Interesting symposium on the state of the Jihad.
One participant -- Bill Roggio -- claims Al Queda is shifting focus to the Middle East to form a caliphate, away from attacking the West directly.
Iran's Hormuz fleet includes more than 1,000 heavily armed speedboats
The difference between belligerent quotations in the old testament and belligerant quotations in the Koran is that in the first, scholars have not interpreted them to mean an unending Holy War...
Absolutely. Jihadists are trying to recruit young Muslims throughout the world to attack infidels/further the Jihad. There are many ways to attempt to counter this -- socially, politically,...
The article also refers to the success that the Islamists are having in recruiting these youths. There is the matter of ideology here and terror recruitment -- that is why we don't see Hindu teens...
Iran moves closer to Nuclear Bomb
I'd be happy to call them an "alliance" instead of an "axis". Not everything is "just like in World War II".
Great piece by Michael Yon
Surrender or Die
On the scene of Arrowhead Ripper.
Absolutely. Although Jimmy Carter was a terrible president and an even worse ex-President, the forces of Shi'ite radical fundamentalism were operating as history sometimes does, as a grand, almost...
Thanks for trying to clean up my grammar. I appreciate it.
My question is whether the respondent believes in the existance of a Syrian-Iranian alliance? If so, why the talk about "neocon...
No, the Koran quite clearly offers infidels three different options -- convert, die, or pay the jizyah and "feel themselves dominated"
I'm not sure where you get the information that scholars...
I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to. Is there a point that Walid Phares made that you disagree with?
Do you believe that Syrian and Iran are not working together to furhter their...
Is the problem that the West is "misundersanding" Islam? It seems that the author is claiming that the West is indeed misunderstanding Islam -- by a craven appeasement of more and more demands. It...

Walid Phares, middle east scholar and author of Future Jihad, on the Hamas grab in Gaza:

Remarkable article in the leftist Guardian about the challenge posed by Islam. Remarkable for its forthrightness and its placement in such a left-wing, anti-American publication.

Iran has been at war with the United States since 1979. I believe that the "everything bad in the world can be traced back to US blunders" theory is simply not respectful of our opponents -- their...
Iran and Syria have a defense agreement. Hezbollah is an Iranian creation and there are many reports of Iran's funding of Hamas. To not call this an "axis" is fine -- what would you like to call it?...
Hamas is now trained and funded by Iran. The Iranian-Hezbollah-Hamas-Syria axis is in ascendance. To compare this axis with Israel and say "they deserve each other" is hard to understand. Our...
Israel doesn't want to allow Hamas to build up the kind of strength Hezbollah did in So Leb
