White Leftists on UKIP's Black Uncle Toms

The UK Independence Party (UKIP) is almost on the verge of toppling a two-party (sometimes three-party) monopoly in British politics which goes back to the 19th century. UKIP -- which was formed as long ago as 1993 -- calls from a withdrawal from ...

British Muslim Terrorists Before 9/11

In the UK, a lot of commentators -- not all of them Muslims -- said that the Islamic murder of Lee Rigby in Woolwich (London) was a primarily, or even exclusively, a response to three main factors: the Iraq War in 2003, the ‘invasion’ of ...

The Muslim Council of Britain Linked to School Takeover Plot

So much for the large-scale Muslim plot to take over various British schools being solely about "extreme Islamists". The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) is the most "mainstream" Muslim organization in the UK. Indeed the British...

David Bellamy OBE -- Global Warming Victim

It's funny that those who stress the scientific credentials of the anthropogenic global warming theory (AGWT) use very unscientific and indeed political ways and means to silence all contradictory -- or even skeptical -- views about it. For ex...

Osama bin Laden in London

As some Americans may know, Abu Hamza is on trial in New York. Abu Hamza -- or, to give his real name, Mustafa Kamel Mustafa -- was once an imam at Finsbury Park mosque, London. He used that mosque (as many Muslims did) as a “base of operati...

Antonio Gramsci: Take over the Institutions!

One fundamental question motivated Antonio Gramsci throughout his life: Why had it proven so difficult for Marxists to promote revolution in Western Europe and America? The answer to that question is simple: the majority of European and America...

Britain's Establishment Muslim Organization Defends Pakistan and Iran

It seems that Fiyaz Mughal's Tell Mama organization has overstepped its jurisdiction of “measuring and monitoring anti-Muslim attacks in the UK” to defend the Muslim hellhole that is Pakistan and the Islamic theocracy that is Iran. ...

Conspiracies ain't Conspiracy Theories

One of the latest conspiracy theories to hit the road seems to be that Mick Jagger murdered L'Wren Scott. One article asked its readers the following question: 'Did Mick Jagger get away with L'Wren Scott's murder?'. Perhaps this w...

Memes about Jews

A few weeks ago American Thinker published an article called 'Anti-Semitism and the Khazar Theory'. The article received a few critical comments which inspired me to write this piece. Those comments are woven into what follows. But fi...

Silencing the Critics of Islam

There is a British organization and website called "Tell Mama" which is run by a man named Fiyaz Mughal. This organization is a bit like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in America; though without -- at least up until now --...

Wikipedia on Global Warming

It may seem a little misplaced to concentrate on two Wikipedia articles when it comes to something as substantive as the anthropogenic global warming theory (henceforth: AGWT or AGW). For a start, some people don't place much faith in any Wikiped...

Young American & British Muslims

You might have noted that many non-Muslim commentators suggest (or hint) that it's a good thing that Muslims in the U.S. and UK are less 'ethnic' than they used to be. Good for whom, exactly? Well, it could actually a bad thing for non-Mu...

Anti-Semitism and the Khazar Theory

Professor Shlomo Sand's book, The Invention of the Jewish People, was published in 2010. In that book he uses the Khazar theory to back up his central argument -- as the Internet magazine Science puts it -- that most "modern Jews do not descend fro...

'Neoliberalism'? They Mean Capitalism!

Last year George Monbiot, that personification of a Guardianista, (independent school, Oxford, then the Leftist establishment), wrote an article about the unadulterated evil that is capitalism. However, he never once uses the word 'capitalism' in the...

Do Muslims Abuse Race Relations Law?

Although this piece deals only with cases and laws in the UK, it will no doubt have almost exact parallels in the United States. The names of the laws will of course be different and not entirely identical in content. Nonetheless, the political and ...

Wrong About the Muslim World

Islam is nearly always in conflict with democracy, both historically and today. There is one single contemporary phenomenon which exemplifies this perfectly. Bizarrely, it's occurring in the West, not in the Muslim world. In the UK, Muslims -- from ...

Islam and David Cameron

In a sense, David Cameron's position on Islam is to be expected. As British Prime Minister, he is of course too busy to study Islam in detail. And even before becoming PM (in 2010), my guess is that he would have spent almost zero time studying Islam...

'Racialising' Islam

Leftist Jew-Hatred: From Marx to Dieudonne

British newspapers recently featured the case of a Premier League footballer, Nicolas Anelka (his Muslim name is Abdul-Salam Bilal), who gave a "reverse Nazi salute" after scoring a goal a week or so ago. The quenelle, as the salute is called, was in...

That Barbara Spectre Video

There's a YouTube video doing the rounds at the moment. In fact it's gone viral (again?); even though the words were spoken in 2010. Why is that? Because a Jewish woman has said things that some people -- including myself -- have a problem with. Howe...

UK Immigration: Economics or Ideology?

Whatever Happened to Britain's Illegal-Immigrants-Go-Home Campaign?

Some months ago, the British Home Office, under the leadership of the Home Secretary, Theresa May, carried out a campaign to get illegal immigrants to 'go home' of their own accord rather than face arrest. Believe it or not, various vans were sent ar...

British Progressives Join the Sunni-Shia War in Syria

The UK's Leftist-Islamist coalition (or alliance) has, at least in part, fallen apart recently. The well-known and notorious George Galloway is facing some stick from Sunni Muslims in the Bradford branch of the UK's Respect party. (Bradford is a city...

Niquabs vs. the West

The BBC's Newsbeat website has just published a piece on a 'damning survey' (as it's usually put) of young people's attitudes to Muslims in the UK. The results were rather negative. (The survey itself was carried out in June, 2013. This Newsbeat repo...

Media Imbalance on the Nairobi & Peshawar Massacres

On a weekend in which 75 Christians were killed by jihadists outside a Church in Pakistan, you may wonder why the main news (by far!) was the killing of 68 people in Nairobi (Kenya) -- also by jihadists. (The UK's 'Islamophobic' Daily Mail hasn'...

Oxfam slaps American Wrists over Donations to Syria

Cameron -- there is no 'Holocaust' in Syria!

On Monday the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, likened the crisis in Syria to what he called 'the Holocaust'. He also warned against the shame of doing nothing to stop it. David Cameron was utterly wrong to describe what is happening in Syria a...

Whose Iran?

Now what is the real source of Iran's opposition to Israel? Is it all about Israel's 'expansionist policies' and 'Zionism' or is it all really about the Jews and Judaism? It depends on both who and when you ask the questions. If the BBC or the Guardi...

No Loans to Pakistan

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has just approved another loan to Pakistan. This is a $6.7bn (£4.3bn) loan on top of the nearly $5bn Pakistan already owes the IMF from earlier loans. This tacit acceptance of nonpayment is, of course, is a commo...

The British Fallout Over Syria

I'm not quite sure why Lord Ashdown (a once well-known British political leader) still thinks that the British people want to know his position on all military matters. Surely it's not simply because of his celebrated military background. If that wer...

The Egyptian Brotherhood: Violence, Democracy & the Arrest of Beltagi

Another leading Muslim Brotherhood figure, Mohammed al-Beltagi, was arrested last Thursday by the Egyptian military. That was no surprise because al-Beltagi had appeared virtually every day at the Rabaa al-Adawiyah camp in Cairo giving speeches which...

Britain Bows Out

The Two Faces of Islam

Muslims kill and persecute non-Muslims on a massive and systematic scale in Muslim countries. Yet in the U.S. many Muslims take part in ecumenism and talk of 'tolerance' and whatnot. But what if it's all one big deceit on their part? What if U.S...

The Khafir is Always to Blame

Is There an Interfaith Movement in the Muslim World?

Foreign Aid is Immoral

Why are so many people against Western aid being sent to Third World or to African countries? Is it because they are "mean-spirited" or "don't like black and brown people," as the pious liberal-left would have it? No. It may well be because people do...
