Islamophobia is not an irrational fear, nor is it the fear of Islam.
‘From a purely academic point of view, this translation is superior to anything produced by orientalists in the way of translations of major Islamic works.” Taha Jabir al-Alwani was writing about Reliance of the Traveller, the English version of Umdat al-Salik, the classic manual of sharia (“Islamic Sacred Law,” as the cover of Reliance puts it). Alwani is no lightweight in these matters. His specialty is fiqh — Islamic jurisprudence. In fact, he has been a member of the Islamic Fiqh Academy in Saudi Arabia and is renowned among orientalist scholars in the West as president of the Fiqh Council of North America.
More significant, he was writing in his capacity as president of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). Headquartered in Virginia, IIIT is an Islamist think tank created by the Muslim Brotherhood in the early 1980s.
I was reminded of Dr. Alwani when reading the latest hit job against my friends David Horowitz and Robert Spencer, authored by the Center for American Progress. Directed by Clinton White House chief of staff John Podesta, CAP is a lushly financed leftist think tank that profoundly influences the Obama administration — indeed, Podesta oversaw the Obama transition after the 2008 election. CAP’s sugar daddy, George Soros, has made a cottage industry out of whitewashing Islamist ideology. This enterprise has lately produced a lengthy ad hominem rant called “Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America.”

Jordan’s king urges Israel, Palestinians to restart talks, look to Arab Spring for inspiration
SOUTHERN SHUNEH, Jordan — Jordan’s king has urged Israel and the Palestinians to look to the Arab Spring uprisings for inspiration and to restart their stalled peace talks.
Abdullah says the future for the Middle East and beyond is with the “normalcy of peace.”
He spoke at Saturday’s opening of a two-day special meeting of the Davos-based World Economic Forum held on the shores of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth.
Abdullah says “shortsighted leaders may think they can shut” the door to peace — a rebuke believed directed at Israel’s right-wing government.
He says a Palestinian-Israeli deal must consider Israel’s “security and acceptance” and allow for the creation of an independent Palestinian state.

This recent speech by Rick Perry on energy policy and this article by Stephen Moore in the Wall Street Journal discussing Harold Hamm’s analysis of our nation’s oil and gas potential ought to constitute a bigger story in the presidential campaign. Hamm, who grew up in rural Oklahoma as the son of sharecroppers, has roots like Perry’s, who grew up in rural Texas as the son of sharecroppers.
America rose to superpower status in large part through the genius and grit of its oilmen. In the Second World War, our nation produced much more oil than all the rest of the world put together — more than 80% of Allied oil production. It is hard to imagine how we could have won that war, which required huge amounts of oil to sail our warships, fly our aircraft, fuel our tanks and trucks — and to fill that need for our allies — without our incredibly productive oil industry.

Republican presidential candidate, Gov. Rick Perry, says his energy plan will “kick start economic growth: and create 1.2 million jobs,” and he is correct. He revealed his “Energizing American Jobs and Security” plan in an October 14 speech at a U.S. Steel plant near Pittsburgh, saying, “We are standing atop the next American economic boom … energy…. But we can only do that if environmental bureaucrats are told to stand down.”
He pointed out:
America has proven but untapped supplies of natural gas, oil and coal. America is the Saudi Arabia of coal with 25 percent of the world’s supply. Our country contains up to 134 billion barrels of oil and nearly 1.2 quadrillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Mark Steyn: U.S. schools teach how to do less with more

As in so many other areas, the problem with public education is not lack of money but that so much money is utterly wasted.In one of those inspired innovations designed to keep American classrooms on the cutting edge of educational excellence, the administration has been sending Joe Biden out to talk to schoolchildren. Last week, it was the Fourth Grade at Alexander B. Goode Elementary School in York, Pennsylvania, that found itself on the receiving end of the vice president’s wisdom:
“Here in this school, your school, you’ve had a lot of teachers who used to work here, but because there’s no money for them in the city, they’re not working. And so what happens is, when that occurs, each of the teachers that stays have more kids to teach. And they don’t get to spend as much time with you as they did when your classes were smaller. We think the federal government in Washington, D.C., should say to the cities and states, look, we’re going to give you some money so that you can hire back all those people. And the way we’re going to do it, we’re going to ask people who have a lot of money to pay just a little bit more in taxes.”

Bad man killed — but worse may win
Britain’s astonishing naivety and credulity when it comes to the Arab and Muslim world have given way, with the killing of Col Gaddafy, to a tardy tremulousness as people wonder nervously: ‘Now what?’ Too late! Britain treated Gaddafy as a cartoon character – not just because of his caricature as a bizarre and unpredictable ‘mad dog’, but because British commentators and even politicians tend to depict armed conflict in cartoonish terms: ‘bad man killed, so goodies win’. Alas, in the Arab and Muslim world it’s very often ‘bad man killed, even worse men win’.
Gaddafy was undoubtedly a very bad man. But the Prime Minister’s self-congratulation yesterday for having helped bring about the fall of the Gaddafy regime and thus give Libyans the chance ‘of building for themselves a strong and democratic future’ was, although statesmanlike in its relative restraint, still distinctly premature.

What A Piece Of Work! The Guardian’s sinister mistranslation of Abbas’s words regarding the Shalit deal
The sometimes quite unscrupulous anti-Israel reportage of the leftist-“intellectual” British newspaper The Guardian is, of course, notorious, and not only to Israel’s friends in the UK. Sydney lawyer David Singer, a founder member of the International Analysts Network, has drawn attention to a recent instance in the following article via the antipodean J-Wire service. It’s entitled “Palestine – Abbas Gets Lost In The Translation”
Writes David Singer:
‘PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has been often criticised for making statements in English that are contradicted by other statements made by him in Arabic. Abbas has continued this art of doublespeak first perfected by his predecessor Yasser Arafat – tailoring his views to the audience that he is addressing.
