America’s Two Wars: Strong on Iraq, Soft on Islamic Terrorists
Has anyone noticed the difference in the way America's two wars are approached? When the subject is Iraq, the U.S. government is proactive, articulate and specific. But when it comes to militant Islam, officialdom is reactive, awkward and vague. Take the issue of...

John Allen Muhammad: Convert to Violence?
It came as no surprise to learn that the lead suspect as the Washington, D.C.,--area sniper is John Allen Muhammad, a Black-American who converted to Islam about 17 years ago. Nor that seven years ago he provided security for Louis Farrakhan's "Million Man March."...
The Snipers: Crazy or Jihadis?
'Why now? Why? Why? Why? Why? That's the question I think everyone is asking." So agonized the half-brother of Lee Malvo, the alleged 17-year-old sniper, baffled by the causes behind the Washington, D.C.-area shooting spree that left 10 people dead.One answer came...
INS In Denial
The very first line of defense for the U.S. homeland consists of those who issue visas (the consular division of the State Department) and those who control the borders (the Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS). Trouble is, neither of those agencies has...
Politicians Ignore Militant Islam–As It Keeps On Killing
Militant Islam keeps on killing, but politicians and journalists still avert their eyes. One terrible example comes from Pakistan, where a sequence of assaults on Christians, both local and foreign, has taken place over the past year: Oct. 28: an attack on St....
Bureaucratic Leftism: The United Nations vs. American Sovereignty
In the debate over Iraq, the Democrats and most allied governments are demanding United Nations Security Council endorsement of a military campaign - or they are against it. This is a strange position. The U.S. government, with an over two-century record of forwarding...
The Arab-Israel Conflict on Campus
Last week, two prominent Middle Easterners traveled to two North American campuses to deliver speeches mainly about the Arab-Israeli conflict. Both met protests. One succeeded in giving the speech; the other did not. Therein hangs a tale. On Monday, former Israeli...
“Death to America”
America's war on terrorism did not begin in September 2001. It began in November 1979. That was shortly after Ayatollah Khomeini had seized power in Iran, riding the slogan "Death to America" - and sure enough, the attacks on Americans soon began. In November 1979, a...
Call Acts of Terrorism By Their Rightful Name
On the 4th of July, an Egyptian immigrant to the United States who believes in wild conspiracy theories about Jews, is known for his great "hate for Israel," and has possible ties to al Qaeda, armed himself to the teeth and assaulted the Israeli airline counter at Los...

Bush Rewards Terrorism
U.S. President George W. Bush has been adamant since Sept. 11 about stopping terrorism, but he took a firm step in the opposite direction in his speech at the end of last month. He should have told the Palestinians clearly and unequivocally that their 21-month...
Public Relations vs. Reality: The “American” Muslim Council
FBI directors don't make a habit of breaking bread with organizations their agents may soon be investigating, perhaps even closing. Robert S. Mueller III, however, is about to make precisely this blunder: On June 28, he is scheduled to deliver a lunch talk to the...
Patterns of Untruthfulness: U.S. State Department “Patterns of Global Terrorism”

Harvard Loves Jihad–But Hates America
Imagine it's June 1942 - just a few months after Adolf Hitler declared war on the United States. At Harvard University, a faculty committee has chosen a German-American to give one of three student orations at the festive commencement ceremony. He titles it "American...
Compromise: The Bush Administration’s Bankrupt Approach to Peace in the Middle East
What's the instinctive response to failure? Redouble your efforts, of course. Lost on the road? Don't admit it - you'd have to stop to figure out where you went wrong, maybe even suffer the humiliation of having to ask for directions. Instead, just step on the gas and...
CAIR: The NAACP for Islamic Terrorists
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations presents itself as just another civil-rights group. "We are similar to a Muslim NAACP," says spokesman Ibrahim Hooper. Its public language - about promoting "interest and understanding among the general public...
Are We Safer?
The carnage begun that awful day in the Iranian desert in 1980 will not run its course until Americans understand how much they need to fear and loathe militant Islam.
