Grover Norquist’s GOP Jihadists

“Grover Norquist’s Jihad” by Pamela Geller; Amer­i­can Thinker; 3/4/2010.
Com­ment: Crit­i­cism of GOP king­pins Grover Norquist and Karl Rove, archi­tects of the Islamic Insti­tute (a Mus­lim Broth­er­hood adjunct to the GOP), has been sparse. A con­tin­u­ing tragedy is that much of that sparse crit­i­cism comes from mem­bers of the con­ser­v­a­tive com­mu­nity who have retained enough integrity [...]

Murdoch and News Corp Aligning with Muslim Brotherhood

Com­ment: The busi­ness deals between Prince Alwaleed and News Corp con­tinue to pro­lif­er­ate. Grup­pen­fuhrer Mur­doch has bought a sig­nif­i­cant stake in Saudi media group Rotana, con­trolled by Mus­lim Broth­er­hood fel­low trav­eler Prince Alwaleed. (Alwaleed does fund rais­ers for the Brotherhood’s Pales­tin­ian branch, Hamas, and has con­tributed money to the Coun­cil on American-Islamic Rela­tions [CAIR], which [...]

Muslim Gangs Dominate British Underworld

Com­ment: Under-reported is the pro­found con­nec­tion between Islamism and orga­nized crime. There is an entire chap­ter in “Dol­lars for Ter­ror” by Richard Labeviere titled “Islamist Deal-Making and Orga­nized Crime.” Our vis­its with Daniel Hop­sicker have high­lighted this link, to an extent.
In fact, much of the income derived by groups like Al-Qaeda, the Tal­iban and other [...]

Hamas: Darlings of the “Progressive Sector”

Com­ment: In the wake of the Gaza War of 2009–2010, Hamas has been lion­ized and ide­al­ized by much of the so-called “pro­gres­sive sec­tor” par­tic­u­larly in the United King­dom and Europe. Below is the char­ter of that orga­ni­za­tion, the Pales­tin­ian branch of the fas­cist Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. It is, sim­ply put, undi­luted Nazi ide­ol­ogy.
Hamas sol­diers salut­ing are [...]

Guess Who Came to Iftar for Dinner?

by Diana West (10/05/07)
“ . . . In 2003 and 2004, Pres­i­dent Bush asked Faizul Khan, who is affil­i­ated with the Saudi-funded Islamic Cen­ter of Wash­ing­ton, D.C., and serves on the board of direc­tors of the Islamic Soci­ety of North Amer­ica (ISNA), to give the bless­ing. This year, the Jus­tice Depart­ment offi­cially labeled ISNA as [...]

Al Qaeda Linked to Rogue Aviation Network

In early 2008, an offi­cial at the U.S. Depart­ment of Home­land Secu­rity sent a report to his supe­ri­ors detail­ing what he called “the most sig­nif­i­cant devel­op­ment in the crim­i­nal exploita­tion of air­craft since 9/11.”

Hitler, Mussolini and the Ikhwan: The Fascist History, Associations and Ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood

The Broth­er­hood is best under­stood as part of “the fas­cist inter­na­tional,” before, dur­ing and after World War II. It has allied with Ger­man and Ital­ian fas­cists from WWII to the present.

Repost: German Geopolitics and the Balkans War

For The Record #154
Lis­ten: MP3

From its begin­ning, the NATO bomb­ing of the for­mer Yugoslavia in 1999 dom­i­nated news cov­er­age at the time. Unfor­tu­nately, that cov­er­age (in the United States, at least) was long on rhetoric and pro­pa­ganda, and short on facts. This broad­cast addresses one of the most badly over­looked aspects of the conflict — [...]
