RUTHFULLY YOURS

As the dire threat of ISIS to the West continues to escalate, with recent reports now indicating that 5 thousand ISIS jihadists are at large in the EU, we continue to witness mass denial within the West’s leadership, media and culture about the Islamic nature of the Islamic State.

Nonetheless, the Islamic nature of the Islamic State is clear for all to see. Just recently, for instance, a Syrian Christian, John, testified about life for Christians in the Islamic State’s controlled city of Raqqa, where he revealed that Christians are paying the jizya, the “tax” that conquered non-Muslims must pay to their Islamic rulers to spare their lives — and that is mandated by the Qur’an (9:29).

In response to John’s testimony, and to shed light on the Islamic nature of the Islamic State and the huge price the West is paying in denying it, we are running The Glazov Gang’s feature interview with Shillman Fellow Raymond Ibrahim on ISIS’s Islamic Inspirations, in which Raymond unveils the Islamic roots of ISIS and the hazardous danger of the West deceiving itself about it.

Don’t miss it!

It would be funny if it weren’t so serious.

Yet again a campus speaker is slammed and silenced by a crowd of students and alumni for failing to understand the “horrors” of “the Occupation,” and for failing to hold Israel sufficiently accountable.

But this time, at this campus, with this speaker, it is hard to imagine a more absurd scenario.

Bassem Eid, a Palestinian Arab who is a human rights activist and who not only worked for the United Nations and the far leftist NGO Btselem, he also founded the Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group, was the speaker at the University of Chicago on Thursday, Feb. 18.

The topic of Eid’s speech was “A Palestinian Point of View.” His talk was sponsored by the University of Chicago Hillel, the Pozen Family Center for Human Rights, J Street U Chicago (which later apologized for the sponsorship) and several international groups, plus the Israel Education Center.

But although Eid spoke about his own first hand experiences, having lived in and around Jerusalem all of his life, several of the students were outraged that he dared to criticize the Arabs, and was insufficiently harsh – in their view – on the Israelis.

One speaker after the next, during the Question and Answer session following Eid’s talk, demanded to know how dare Eid not speak about the horrors of “the Occupation,” and why he spent any time at all criticizing the Palestinian Arabs for their violence.

The questioners all made demands of Eid, all were livid that he failed them by not attacking the true and primary wrongdoer – in their opinion – Israel. It did not matter whether it was someone who identified himself as a “Palestinian,” “someone from Gaza,” or a “Jewish alumna of the University of Chicago,” all were infuriated by Eid’s talk.
