http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=2343 Newsletter Friday December 23, 2011 ‘Radical Islamic elements are on the ascent’ Professor Moshe Sharon does not share in the excitement generated by the Arab Spring, nor does he leave much room for optimism: Not much is happening in the Middle East. Certainly not an Arab Spring. What was is what will be, only […]

Adam Bellow hopes to give voice to the tea party with new conservative imprint at HarperCollins

NEW YORK — Attention, conservatives: Adam Bellow says this is your moment.

The intellectual left, he contends, is in a vacuum. The right is where there are ideas, variety, excitement. And Bellow, a former liberal who has made a career of pushing conservative writers and controversial issues to the forefront of American publishing, wants to hear from you.
As an editor at the Free Press and then Doubleday, Bellow, son of the late novelist Saul Bellow, guided such provocative voices as Dinesh D’Souza (“Illiberal Education”), David Brock (“The Real Anita Hill”), Jonah Goldberg (“Liberal Fascism”), and Charles Murray and Richard J. Herrnstein (“The Bell Curve”) to the top of the bestseller lists.

Now he thinks he can do the same with representatives from the tea party, the decentralized protest movement that has energized conservatives, dismayed liberals and spooked presidential candidates with its focus on free markets, limited government, fewer taxes and balanced budgets.

ANDREW BOSTOM: A RESPONSE TO ROBERT SMALL

http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/01/response_to_robert_small.html Robert Small’s latest essay didn’t address any of the (irrefragable) arguments from my two prior evidence-based rebuttals (here, and here) — as per relevant Western, not Islamic, Sharia-compliant standards —  about the Nadhlatul Ulema’s (NU’s) faux “moderation”, and the ugly, living jihadist legacy wrought by the NU, as well other examples of “moderate” Indonesian […]

DANIEL GREENFIELD:The Year We Lost Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia and Most of the Middle East

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

About the only people having a Happy New Year in the Muslim world aren’t the Christians who are huddling and waiting out the storm, but the Islamists who use a different calendar but are having the best time of their lives since the last Caliphate.

The news that the Obama Administration has brought in genocidal Muslim Brotherhood honcho Yusuf Al-Qaradawi to discuss terms of surrender for the transfer of Afghanistan to the Taliban caps a year in which the Brotherhood and the Salafists are looking up carve up Egypt, the Islamists won Tunisia’s elections, Turkey’s Islamist AKP Party purged the last bastions of the secular opposition and Libya’s future as an Islamist state was secured by American, British and French jets and special forces.

Time Magazine declared that 2011 was the Year of the Protester, they might have more honestly called it the Year of the Islamist. In 2010 the Taliban were still hiding in caves. In 2012 they are set to be in power from Tunisia to Afghanistan and from Egypt to Yemen. They won’t go by that name of course. Most of them will have elaborate names with the words “Justice” or “Community” in them, but they will for the most part be minor variations on the Muslim Brotherhood theme.

DANIEL GREENFIELD: THE GENOCIDE DOCTRINE

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

Whether or not Ron Paul actually said that he would not intervene to stop the Holocaust, there is nothing particularly extraordinary about this position. The United States has never intervened to stop a genocide. Not in WW2 and not since when several genocides have taken place, most notably in Africa, without any military intervention.
The United States did participate in two NATO wars justified with phony claims of genocide, but the only ethnic cleansings that have taken place have been of Serbs from Kosovo and of Africans from Libya. Which is to say the closest thing to a genocide in either case was perpetrated by our allies against the people we were bombing on their behalf in two civil wars. And neither of those rise anywhere near the level of genocide.
