ROBERT SPENCER: THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM (AMEN…IT IS NOT ISLAMISM)****

The Truth about Islam http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/print/281771 Taking on Andy McCarthy’s column “Islam or Islamist?” Last Friday, a Bosnian Muslim named Mevlid Jasarevic walked up to the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo with a rifle and opened fire, terrorizing the city center until he was wounded by a police sharpshooter. Media reports identified him as a “radical Islamist.” […]

ANDREW KLAVAN: WHAT LEFTISM DOES TO PEOPLE

What Leftism Does to People Posted By Andrew Klavan URL to article: http://pjmedia.com/andrewklavan/2011/10/31/what-leftism-does-to-people/ Human nature is remarkably recalcitrant, but  ideas do affect people over time, for good or ill, and the societies people make will ultimately bear the image of those effects and thus of the ideas. When historian Paul Johnson, in his book Intellectuals, […]

HERBERT LONDON: ISRAEL AND JUST WAR THEORY

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10711/pub_detail.asp Now that a trade of more than one thousand convicted terrorists for one Israeli soldier has been transacted, it should be clear to any of the skeptics which side in the Middle East puts the greatest premium on life. Similarly, it should be noted from this trade which side adheres to the principles of […]

“This is not an Islamic Revolution.”

So opined Olivier Roy, arguably Europe’s foremost authority on political Islam, in an essay published days after Hosni Mubarak was forced from power in February. “Look at those involved in the uprisings, and it is clear that we are dealing with a post-Islamist generation,” he wrote. “This is not to say that the demonstrators are secular; but they are operating in a secular political space, and they do not see in Islam an ideology capable of creating a better world.”

WAS THE SOMALIA SUICIDE BOMBER A U.S. CITIZEN FROM MINNEAPOLIS?

FBI investigating if Somalia bomber was Minn. man By AMY FORLITI
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The FBI is testing the remains of a suicide bomber in Somalia to try to determine whether he was one of at least 21 young Somali-American men believed to have left Minneapolis in recent years to join the terrorist group al-Shabab.

If the remains are confirmed to belong to Abdisalan Hussein Ali, it will mark the third time someone from Minnesota has been involved in a suicide attack in Somalia.

“I don’t understand,” said Nimco Ahmed, a Somali community activist in Minnesota, home to the nation’s largest Somali population. “It’s really, really painful to actually see one of the kids who has a bright future ahead of them do this. … It’s a loss for our whole society.”

Al-Shabab said over the weekend that Abdisalan Taqabalahullaah, whom they identified as a Somali-American, carried out the suicide attack Saturday against an African Union base in Mogadishu. The attack killed 10 people, including the two suicide bombers, a Mogadishu-based security official said.

MORE ON MICHAEL HIGGINS FROM MARK HUMPHRYS

http://markhumphrys.com/michael.d.higgins.html

MARK HUMPHRYS: Irish. Atheist. Liberal-right. Anti-jihad. Pro-American. Pro-Israel.

Michael D. Higgins of the Labour Party has been for decades the leader of anti-American politics in the Irish parliament. For years he has been attacking the West’s two frontline states – America and Israel – with his trademark divisive, self-righteous, left-wing rhetoric.

And now the Irish people, insanely, have elected him President. This is madness. Imagine a Tea Party U.S. Republican Presidential visit with the pompous anti-American Michael D. as President. Imagine the offensive Irish insults to Israel for 7 long years with Michael D. as President.

Michael D. Higgins will make Ireland hated in America. Ireland will be linked again and again in world news headlines with anti-American, anti-Israeli and anti-business statements. Michael D. will endlessly attack the Celtic Tiger, and this message will be heard abroad. American companies will hear it. What is wrong with Irish people? Do they want to be poor?

Ireland now has the most anti-American head of state in the western world. That will do wonders for American business and tourism.

And Ireland now has the most anti-Israel head of state in the western world. Most Irish people don’t care. But I am ashamed by it.

IRISH EYES NOT SMILING ON ISRAEL

The Irish Eyes Not Smiling On Israel: Those of Old Anti-American Warhorse Michael D. Higgins

Michael D. Higgins, veteran Irish leftist politician and poet, who’s now, unexpectedly, President of Eire, could never be mistaken for a warm supporter Israel. (Be sure to look here, which is where I obtained this photo.) Known for his vehement criticism of the United States as well as of Israel, he first visited Gaza in the 1980s, and in 2004 paid a fulsome tribute to Arafat following the latter’s death, attending a candlelit vigil organised by the Ireland-Palestine Soldarity Campaign. He objects to the description of Hamas as a “terrorist” organisation, and in 2007 shared a platform with Hezbollah.
