DANIEL GREENFIELD: THE ISLAMIST/ENVIRONMENTALIST ALLIANCE

The Islamist-Environmentalist Alliance Posted By Daniel Greenfield URL to article: http://frontpagemag.com/2011/11/23/the-islamist-environmentalist-alliance/ Saudi Arabia has no better friend than the Sierra Club, and the Emirates have no better salesmen than the environmentalists who keep the country hooked on conflict oil. The administration’s sabotage of the Keystone XL project through delays aimed at killing the pipeline is […]

BRYAN PRESTON: SCORING THE CNN DEBATE….ROMNEY, GINGRICH, PERRY ON TOP

Scoring the #CNNDebate http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2011/11/22/scoring-the-cnndebate/ The 11th GOP debate of the year began with an odd note. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer started things off by introducing himself to show the candidates how to introduce themselves briefly, and in his intro Blitzer noted that yes, his name is in fact Wolf Blizter. When Mitt Romney’s turn came, the […]

SHOSHANA BRYEN: WHERE RON PAUL MEETS BARCK OBAMA

http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2011/11/where_ron_paul_meets_barack_obama.html Where Ron Paul Meets Barack Obama By Shoshana Bryen They look like political opposites: Ron Paul is a traditional isolationist; Barack Obama sees himself comfortable with many cultures and religions.  But they share an odd understanding that the United States is, by nature and by history, a cause of tension in the world, and […]

THE DECLINE OF NATIONS: DANIEL GREENFIELD

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

No country falls but from within. Given a sufficient population and resources to hold off its enemies, the only sufficient explanation for its fall is internal.

Take the decline of the West, which is often talked about and attributed to leftist conspiracies and Islamic colonialism. But why is Japan, a First World nation whose culture and geography differs dramatically from America and Europe also in a state of economic, political and cultural decline? Not to mention demographic decline.

The Japanese left is certainly active, but blaming it for the country’s decline is a more difficult proposition. Japan has a long history of Islamic outreach, but it isn’t about to be Islamized and immigration is not a factor. Nor did Japan have a religious heritage that was lost to secularism. Nevertheless with its dwindling population, escapist culture, dysfunctional politics and tremulous foreign policy– Japan’s follies seem to resemble those of the West. The origins of its problems may be different, but the outcome is the same.

ROBERT SPENCER’S RICK PERRY PROBLEM…..SEE NOTE PLEASE

Rick Perry’s Jihad Problem By Robert Spencer

Rick Perry is woefully unfit to be president of the United States, but not because he couldn’t remember a key element of his own program during a recent debate, or because he gave a speech while possibly drunk. Rick Perry is woefully unfit to be president of the United States because he is a tool of Grover Norquist, the man who may be more responsible than anyone else for enabling Muslim Brotherhood access to the highest levels of power in the U.S. While it is hard for any Republican candidate to avoid Norquist altogether, so all-pervasive is his influence and power, Norquist is clearly much closer to Perry than to other candidates. Perry and Grover Norquist held a joint press conference in March 2011. Perry appeared at a fundraiser for Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform group. Also, Norquist actively campaigned for Perry back in 2009. Their association is longstanding: Perry was investigated by the Texas Ethics Commission in 2004 for allegations that the governor illegally used campaign money to finance…. (Read Full Article)

What a ridiculous hit piece. Most people who actually do any type of research on Rick Perry will see that he is a absolute friend to Israel. And the fact that he’s been associated with Norquist would cancel out just about anybody in the GOP race. The fact an article like this has been written goes to show the desperation of Perry’s opponents in the race.

If you listened to Gov. Perry’s entire speech, you will agree he was not drunk. Actually, he reminds me of the minister who served my grandparents’ Texas church for over 20 years. It a “style of presentation” issue. I don’t know where or how any of the other complaints affect Perry personally. He serves a large state representing many religions and cultures and various businesses. His position on tax reform differs very little from many fiscal conservatives. Mr. Spencer, your bias is showing. Do some research before using the term “jihad”.

I have seen some hack pieces in my time but this one is beyond the pale. Mr. Spencer obviously also writes copy for Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura. What a piece of tripe – unsubstantiated scurrilous accusations, not a shred of sourcing, a total hack-job. Good lord.

I must plead guilty to ignorance about Grover Norquist. All this time the only thing I knew about him was that he is adamant about tax reform. His views are frequently discussed in articles on NRO. Imagine my surprise when I learned right here on AT that he is a vile jihadist…a covert Muslim Islamist out to subvert the GOP and the USA. That he describes himself as a plain, white bread Methodist only PROVES he’s diabolical. Why…he MARRIED a women from Kuwait! Imagine my shock and dismay when I read his Wikipedia profile and learned this “subversive” was a co-founder of something called the Islamic Free Market Institute. I’m just sure this is code for “Muslim Brotherhood.” Of course we should now shun Perry because he once rode on an airplane with Norquist.

Until very recently I was quite fond of Robert Spencer. I thoroughly enjoyed the Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam. Believe me…I ain’t no fan of Islam. But this dreadful article was a shameless and pointless hit job on Perry. It truly disgusted me. I enjoyed the line prom a previous commenter that Spencer must be writing copy for Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura. This article was as big a load of hooey as Pamela Geller’s article yesterday when she described the barbarism of halal slaughter…which is identical to kosher slaughter.

CLARE M. LOPEX: AND NOW A LITTLE “TAQIYYA” ON THE PRAIRIE

http://www.radicalislam.org/newsletter/issue_55.html?utm_source=MadMimi&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Taqiyya+-+The+Muslim+Wolf+in+Sheep%27s+Clothing&utm_campaign=RI+Newsletter+55&utm_term=View+it+on+the+web_

While Muslim countries across the Middle East and Muslim communities around the world become increasingly radicalized, an American cable TV channel has just premiered a new reality series called “All-American Muslim”. Is this an honest attempt to de-mystify Muslims and their traditions, or does the show simply gloss over the reality of Islamic ideology, whitewashing us into believing that American Muslims are “just like you and me”? Clarion Fund Senior Fellow Clare M. Lopez takes a deeper look behind the show and the media hype.

CLARE M. LOPEZ: MUSLIMS USE “TAQIYYA’ TO DECEIVE ABOUT ISLAM

http://www.radicalislam.org/content/muslims-use-taqiyya-deceive-non-muslims-about-islam?utm_source Muslims Use “Taqiyya” to Deceive Non-Muslims About Islam The Arabic word Taqiyya means “deceit” or “dissimulation.” Unlike the Christian or Jewish religions, Islam not only permits its believers to lie but actually commands it in some circumstances. For the most part, Muslims are not supposed to lie to one another; but, exceptions are made […]
