When Intellectuals Become Prophets

Walid Shoebat Sandy Rios, a contributor to Fox News, sent me an email asking me for an interview about some intellectual-hack named Thomas Freidman who wrote an asinine article about his hope for the Arab Spring.

The United States is being held hostage. In the wake of the attacks on our embassies, an anti-Muhammad video has been identified not just by the Muslim world, but by our own Government as the reason for those attacks. The real reason – enunciated in Arabic – is to use the video as a tool […]

Jordan now warming up to the Muslim Brotherhood

Egypt really is ground zero for the Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle East. There is a reason that Mubarak fell so quickly compared to Libya’s Gadhafi and Syria’s Assad. One of the consequences of a Brotherhood stronghold in that region is that other countries are bound to fall in line. Via the AFP (h/t GMBDR): […]

Exposed: The Formula for Islamic Takeover

By Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack The word “Democracy” has become increasingly and deceptively powerful. It has come to be seen as something on par with “freedom” and “justice.” It has been the fuel for the very inaptly named ‘Arab Spring.’ Democracy and freedom are not synonymous terms. They don’t mean the same thing at […]

Surprise in Tunisia: Islamic thugs raid Art Exhibit, Destroy Artwork

Tunisia is now home to another in a long line of anecdotes which demonstrate that when leftists and Islamists align to defeat a common enemy, Islamists always seem to overpower the leftists once that enemy is defeated. In the case of Tunisia, that common enemy was deposed dictator Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali. Via Al Arabiya […]

Is Obama Administration working toward ouster of Jordan’s King Abdullah?

If Barack Obama isn’t doing his level best to hand the Middle East over to the Muslim Brotherhood, it’d be difficult to make the opposite case. The policies and rhetoric of his administration – to include the arm known as the mainstream media – have had the effect of furthering the Brotherhood’s agenda from the […]

After having eight years to study the motivations of America’s Islamic enemies, George W. Bush both curiously and disturbingly expressed a rather uneducated opinion relative to the ‘Arab Spring.’ Via MSNBC: A stone’s throw away from the White House, former President George W. Bush said today the world is in an “extraordinary” time for freedom […]
