Christians, Jihadists, and the Fate of Syria
Posted in Christianity, Islam, Politics, Religion, War, tagged Terrorism on March 12, 2012 |
Raymond Ibrahim wrote: Christian minorities, who, at 10% of the Syrian population, have the most to gain from a secular government and the most to suffer from a Sharia-state, have no choice but to prefer Assad. They are already seeing aspects of the alternative. A recent Barnabas Fund report titled “Christians in Syria Targeted in [...]
Thomas Sowell wrote: Time was never on our side. The risks go up exponentially the longer we wait. When the Iranian nuclear program was just getting started, it could have been destroyed before it became so big, so dispersed, and so deeply dug in underground. Now, if we wait till they actually have nuclear bombs, [...]
It’s a Pity Somebody Has To Win

Andrew C. McCarthy wrote: Destroying the Saddam Hussein regime’s capacity to project power and facilitate terror took just a few weeks, but based on the second Bush inaugural’s mellifluous nonsense that “the survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands,” we stuck around another eight years to [...]
Gingrich: You Don’t Apologize to the Enemy

Newt Gingrich said: When you have enemies who are determined to kill you, you owe it to the American people to tell the truth about the people who are opposing us. We have been systematically and methodically mislead by our leader. This is much deeper than Obama. We had the same problem with our State [...]
Andrew C. McCarthy wrote: On second thought, who cares if Karzai apologizes? Our troops do not belong in Afghanistan. They have given more than enough, way more. So has our country. If our government believes the Taliban and other factions are our enemies, allied with al-Qaeda to kill Americans, then we should unleash our military [...]
Syrian Christians Fear Genocide

More on this, from TheNewAmerican.com: Catholic bishops are warning that if the Bashar al-Assad (…) regime in Syria falls to Islamists, there may well be a mass genocide of Christians, such as seen in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Though Christians cannot support the brutality of the Assad dictatorship, few believe that rule [...]

From JPost.com: Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s strategist provided the legal and religious justification for the annihilation of Israel and the Jewish people, in a document published on conservative Farsi website Alef.

Jimmy Carter’s Long Delayed Second Term

Robert Spencer wrote: As the Iranian regime inches ever closer toward constructing nuclear weapons, as even Hillary Clinton has acknowledged it is trying to do, these words become more than just empty braggadocio and saber-rattling. The U.S. and Israel have one man to thank for the advent of a genocide-minded regime that considers them both [...]
Victor Davis Hanson wrote: In other words, we are back to the deceptive quiet of a 1913, 1938, or 2000, consumed by internal problems, suspicious of the world abroad, assuming that foreigners’ challenges are worse than ours, and convinced that no one would be so stupid as to start a stupid war. The Perils of [...]
From Newsmax.com: Israel estimated on Thursday that Iran could make four atomic bombs by further enriching uranium it has already stockpiled, and could produce its first within a year of deciding to build one. But in his rare public remarks, Major-General Aviv Kochavi, chief of military intelligence, held out the possibility stronger international sanctions might [...]
Iran Could Attack on American Soil
Posted in Politics, War, tagged Terrorism on January 31, 2012 |
From Newmax.com: Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. told a Senate committee Tuesday that American spy agencies believe Iran is willing to launch terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in response perceived threats, The Washington Post reports. . . . That plot “shows that some Iranian officials — probably including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei [...]
Michelle Malkin wrote: Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and Jon Huntsman have all followed suit, bashing Romney’s venture-capitalist past at Bain Capital with Occupy Wall Street-style zeal. It’s one thing to carefully dissect Romney’s investments, as the Wall Street Journal did, and weigh his wins against his losses. (The paper found that “in total, Bain produced [...]
The State of Christianity in Afghanistan
Posted in Christianity, Islam, Politics, War on October 11, 2011 |
From CNS News: There is not a single, public Christian church left in Afghanistan, according to the U.S. State Department. This reflects the state of religious freedom in that country ten years after the United States first invaded it and overthrew its Islamist Taliban regime. In the intervening decade, U.S. taxpayers have spent $440 billion [...]
Andrew C. McCarthy wrote: Like most conservatives opposed to our Libya intervention, I’ve been asked a lot lately how it feels to be aligned with a hard leftist like Dennis Kucinich. It feels better, I think, than if I found myself on the same side as al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. Re: Republicans and Libya
I guess I should say something about Osama bin Laden. Yeah, he’s dead. Some other perhaps more useful observations: 1. Congratulations are in order to the Navy SEALs who pulled this off. 2. Pres. Obama will get a temporary boost in the polls, but it won’t survive $5-per-gallon gasoline. Consider the downward slide of George [...]
From Jihad Watch: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told ministers of the Jewish state to make no comment on the political cliffhanger in Cairo, to avoid inflaming an already explosive situation. But Israel’s President Shimon Peres is not a minister. “We always have had and still have great respect for President Mubarak,” he said on [...]
Robert Spencer wrote: Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton recently injected a note of realism into the mainstream media euphoria over the heroic “pro-democracy” demonstrators in Egypt. “The overthrow of the Mubarak regime,” Bolton warned, “will not by any sense of the imagination lead to the advent of Jeffersonian democracy. The greater likelihood is a radical, [...]
Picture from frontpagemag.com Andrew C. McCarthy wrote: It is worth pointing out that Hamas is not merely colluding with the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood. That, of course, will not be what you hear from our foreign-policy experts, such as Obama adviser Bruce Riedel, who are busily sculpting their narrative about how the [...]
From Newsmax: Balkan military officials and other experts have told The Associated Press that in all probability the Chinese gleaned some of their technological know-how from an American F-117 Nighthawk that was shot down over Serbia in 1999. [...] The wreckage was strewn over a wide area of flat farmlands, and civilians collected the parts—some [...]
