Forty Years After Foucault's Death,
His (Mis)Understanding of Islamism Lives On
A.J. Caschetta
Forty years ago, on June 25, 1984, the French
philosopher Michel Foucault died of AIDS at age 57, leaving behind a
mixed legacy of literary and political writing that crossed over into
activism. The anniversary of Foucault's death offers a new opportunity
to assess his most important and lasting impact on Western society. I
refer not to his work on "biopolitics" or his subtle deconstructions of
ideas about sanity, or his linguistic analysis, but rather to his role
in establishing a leftist-Islamist alliance and profoundly influencing
the way the West views Islam. |

Why Isn't There a Palestinian State?
David Brog
Why
don't the Palestinians have their own country? Is it the fault of
Israel? Of the Palestinians? If Israel just allowed the Palestinians to
have a state of their own, there would be peace in the Middle East,
right? That’s what you hear from UN ambassadors, European diplomats and
most college professors. But what if I told you that Israel has already
offered the Palestinians a state of their own – and not just once, but
on five separate occasions? Don’t believe me? Let’s review the record.

It’s Islam, Stupid
Daniel Greenfield
Beslan. Mumbai. Paris. Manchester. New York
City. Nairobi. Luxor. Sulu. Kibbutz Be’eri. 186 children murdered in a
school in Beslan. Dozens of children taken hostage from a Catholic
school in the Philippines. Two teachers were beheaded, but not the
girls. “We do not kill women. We will just enslave them,” the Jihadists
promised. 8-year-olds gunned down in the Westgate Mall in Nairobi. The
terrorists asked their victims to name Mohammed’s mother to tell apart
the non-Muslims from the Muslims. |

CAIR’s ‘Journalist’s Guide to
Reporting on Islam and Muslims’: Fooling the Fourth Estate
Stephen M. Kirby
On
August 23, 2021, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
released a new edition of “A Journalist’s Guide to Reporting on Islam
and Muslims.” Unfortunately, for journalists who have an interest in
truly understanding Islam, CAIR’s “guide” will only lead them astray.
Here are some examples from the Journalist’s Guide that act to misguide
instead of to guide. |

France: An "Inverted Colonization"
Dr. Guy Millière
In
debates on television, veiled Muslim women invited to speak say that
wearing a veil is their "choice" and that the French must "adapt to
Islam". One of the organizers interviewed on television said: "Muslims
in France are suffering under growing persecution. They want to forbid
us to be Muslims. France is our country. Those who do not like it must
go elsewhere. " |

Eastern Europe’s ‘Subconscious
Fear’ of Islam:
The Siege of Vienna, 1683
Raymond Ibrahim
It
is this history of Islamic aggression – beginning in the fourteenth
century when Muslims first established a foothold in Eastern Europe
(Thrace), and into the twentieth century when the Ottoman sultanate
finally collapsed – that informs Eastern European views on Islam. |

The Truth About Thomas Jefferson's
Koran
Jim ONeill
The
copy of the Koran that Jefferson owned was translated by George Sales
in 1734. You will recall from the quote of Sales that began this
article that he believed that “Providence has reserved the glory of
[Islam’s] overthrow” to the Protestants. Hardly a Kumbaya sentiment of
multicultural solidarity. So why would these Congressional Muslims use
a Quran that is admittedly designed to “overthrow” Islam? In a word --
ignorance. |

Why There is No Peace in the Middle
East;
“There is no honor in peace”
Philip Carl Salzman
Peace
is not possible in the Middle East because values and goals other than
peace are more important to Middle Easterners. Most important to Middle
Easterners are loyalty to kin, clan, and cult, and the honor that is
won by such loyalty. There was no group and no loyalty above the tribe
or tribal confederation until the rise of Islam. With Islam, a new,
higher, more encompassing level of loyalty was defined. |

No Trespassing On Islam!
Dave Merrick
Bit
by bit a frightened America is opening its arms and bowing before the
takeover by bullying Islam. These “peace loving” Muslims have marched
in our streets threatening beheading to those who dare to insult their
Allah. And in our collective silence we are inviting their dominance. |

Jihad Means More Than "A Peaceful
Self-Struggle"!
Maher Gabra
The
jihad against oneself and Satan is the struggle to be a good Muslim and
follow Allah. However, jihad against infidels and hypocrites is more
than a self-struggle. It is an effort to change the situation on the
ground. Such jihad could be executed through four different means: by
oneself (fighting in the way of Allah), by money (funding those who
fight), by one's words (speaking up against oppressors or infidels), or
by one's heart (that is, by hating the evil and feeling that it is
wrong). |

Europe Surrenders to Radical Islam
Guy Millière
The
United Kingdom is not the main Muslim country in Europe, but it is the
country where, for decades, Islamists could comfortably call for jihad
and murder. Although most jihadist movements were banned by the British
government, more discreet organizations have emerged and demurely
spread the same message. |

Should Islam be Restrained in the
United States?
Robert Klein Engler
Human
sacrifice in Mexico as part of a religious ceremony and animal
sacrifice in the U.S. approach the practical limits of freedom of
religion. What about Islam and its beliefs and practices? Do the
beliefs and practices of Islam approach a practical limit or do they go
beyond that limit? What we know about Islam leaves many Americans
wondering how practical is it to give Constitutional protection to a
religion whose adherents have sworn to kill Americans in their own
homes. |

The Muslim Brotherhood: Wellspring
of Terrorism
Judith Bergman
The
founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan Al-Banna made jihadist
violence a focal point of his movement. He wrote, "Death is art" and
"Fighting the unbelievers involves all possible efforts that are
necessary to dismantle the power of the enemies of Islam." The MB
inducts members into its deliberatively secretive and opaque network
with the pledge that "Jihad is our way" and "Dying in the way of Allah
is our highest hope." |

What Is the Muslim Brotherhood?
Thomas Quiggin
A
variety of groups ascribe to the Islamist objective of imposing their
politicized beliefs on others. Included in these are ISIS, al-Qaeda and
Hizb ut-Tahrir. However, the largest and best organized of all the
Islamist groups is the Muslim Brotherhood. They are the well-spring
from which the Islamist ideology flows. |

The Islamization of France in 2016
– A Chronology
"France has a problem with Islam"
Soeren Kern
The
Muslim population of France was approximately 6.5 million in 2016, or
around 10% of the overall population of 66 million. In real terms,
France has the largest Muslim population in the European Union, just
above Germany. What follows is a chronological review of some of the
main stories about the rise of Islam in France during 2016: |
9jan17 |
The Islamization of Britain in 2016
– A Chronology
"The realistic future for Britain is Islamic."
Soeren Kern
Islam
and Islam-related issues, omnipresent in Britain during 2016, can be
categorized into five broad themes: 1) Islamic extremism and the
security implications of British jihadists in Syria and Iraq; 2) the
continuing spread of Islamic Sharia law in Britain; 3) the sexual
exploitation of British children by Muslim gangs; 4) Muslim integration
into British society; and 5) the failures of British multiculturalism. |
2jan17 |
The Islamization of Germany in 2016
– A Chronology
"Germany is no longer safe."
Soeren Kern
Mass
migration from the Muslim world is fast-tracking the Islamization of
Germany, as evidenced by the proliferation of no-go zones, Sharia
courts, polygamy and child marriages. Mass migration has also been
responsible for a host of social disruptions, including jihadist
attacks, a migrant rape epidemic, a public health crisis, rising crime
and a rush by German citizens to purchase weapons for self-defense –
and even to abandon Germany altogether. |

The Soviet-Palestinian Lie
The Gatestone Institute - Judith
Bergman
"The
PLO was dreamt up by the KGB, which had a penchant for 'liberation'
organizations. First, the KGB destroyed the official records of
Arafat's birth in Cairo, and replaced them with fictitious documents
saying that he had been born in Jerusalem and was therefore a
Palestinian by birth." – Ion Mihai Pacepa, former chief of the Foreign
Intelligence Service of Romania. |

Who We Are As a People – The Syrian
Refugee Question
Imprimus – Edward J. Erler
Note
that these leaders show no such enthusiasm for admitting Christian
refugees from Middle Eastern violence, or even Yazidis, who have
suffered horribly from the ravages of Islamic terror. These refugees,
of course, represent no danger to America. Only by admitting those who
do represent a danger can we display to the world “who we are as a
people” – a people willing to sacrifice ourselves to vouchsafe our
commitment to tolerance. |

Islam and the West’s Death by
‘Freedom’
Selwyn Duke
It
has often been noted that some among us use our freedoms to destroy our
freedoms. George Soros, a real-life James Bond villain, comes to mind;
other leftist entities such as the ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Center
also qualify, as they sue Americans into shedding Americanism. Another
example is a group they aid and abet: Muslim conquerors bent on winning
the West for Dar al-Islam. |

The Reason That Liberals Hate
Christianity, but Ignore Islam
Bookworm
One
of the things that’s frustrating for non-liberals and non-Progressives
is Leftists’ refusal to look Islam in the face (so to speak). Yes,
there are crazy people who are Christians and there are entire
Christian sects that are crazy ... The fact remains, however, that
Christians as a whole, whether they belong to big churches or small
ones, do not embrace or practice terrorism to achieve their political
or religious goals. |

Why Does Obama Call ISIS 'ISIL'?
Amil Imani
Many
who closely follow the dueling Islamic terror narratives emanating from
the White House are mystified by Mr. Obama's inability (or deliberate
unwillingness) to utter the phrase "Islamic terrorists." Many are
curious, too, about why he refuses to call ISIS "ISIS," steadfastly
insisting instead that everybody in his administration call the terror
group "ISIL." What's the difference, and why is it important? |

New Mantra To Deny Islamic Terror:
‘Mental illness’
“Where does ‘radical Islam’ end and ‘mental illness’ begin?”
Leo Hohmann
Is
“mental illness” the new cover for jihadist attacks on the West? It
certainly seems that way, says a noted expert on jihad. “Authorities
have ascribed jihad terror to mental illness on numerous occasions,”
said Robert Spencer, including the Orlando, San Bernardino and
Chattanooga attacks in the United States. Sometimes it sticks, but
usually, days, weeks or even months later, when few people are still
paying attention, the police will retract their earlier statements and
admit it was a terrorist attack. |
18jul16 |
Islam at War with a Delusional,
Suicidal West
Matt Barber
Muhammad
taught, and the Quran stresses, that a central tenet of Islam is to
convert, enslave or kill the infidel. An infidel is anyone who is not
Muslim or, depending on who’s doing the killing, belongs to a different
sect of Islam. Those who fall into that elusive, perpetually mute
category tagged “moderate Muslim” are also infidels or “idolaters.”
They’re bad Muslims and, so, according to the Quran, not Muslims at all. |

Islam is Not a Religion, It is
Foreign Law
J.R. Dieckmann
The
time has come to question if Islam is protected under our First
Amendment rights to freedom of religion. Yes, everyone in America has
the right to freedom of religion, but Islam is not a religion.
Religious faith is only a part of Islam. The rest is a socially
engineered society with its own laws and customs that seriously
conflict with American law. |

The United States and Islam: What
Is Going On?
Amir Taheri
The
irony is that no major power in recent history has gone out of its way
as has the United States to help, respect, please and, yes, appease
Islam. And, yet, no other nation has been a victim of vilification,
demonization, and violence on the part of the Islamists as has the U.S. |

Islam – Facts or Dreams?
Andrew C. McCarthy
“In
any broad sense, Islamic law offers the American lawyer a study in
dramatic contrasts. Even casual acquaintance and superficial knowledge
– all that most of us at bench or bar will be able to acquire – reveal
that its striking features relative to our law are not likenesses but
inconsistencies, not similarities but contrarieties. In its source, its
scope and its sanctions, the law of the Middle East is the antithesis
of Western law.” —Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson in forward to
Law in the Middle East, 1955. |
20mar16 |
Misunderstanding Islam
David Solway
We
need to remember that Islam may be recessive at times, active at
others, but its essence cannot be changed. It is like a volcano that
never goes extinct and we are wrong to regard its dormant phases as
final. It is always ready to erupt. You cannot reform or re-interpret a
volcano, and unless you keep a distance you always risk being buried in
the lava of its natal ferocity. |

Political Scientist:
Islam is Incompatible with America’s Founding
Ginni Thomas
For
Muslims in America, “you’ve got a theological, political problem that I
think is incompatible with Western democracy” since they do not
tolerate the religious liberty of others, says Matthew Spalding,
associate vice president and dean of educational programs for Hillsdale
College’s Kirby Center in Washington, D.C. |

Are Mideast Muslims Dying for a
Myth?
Mike Konrad
Islam
claims that, during his lifetime, Mohammed took a night journey on a
flying steed, called al Buraq, to Jerusalem to the Farthest (al-Aqsa)
Mosque. The irony is that, according to Muslim sources, there was no
mosque in Jerusalem for Mohammed to visit. So why are they fighting
over what never was? |

Peace or Jihad? Abrogation in Islam
David Bukay – Middle East Quarterly
The
Qur'an is unique among sacred scriptures in accepting a doctrine of
abrogation in which later pronouncements of the Prophet declare null
and void his earlier pronouncements. Four verses in the Qu'ran
acknowledge or justify abrogation: |

Differences Between God and Allah

“The Management of
Savagery”
The “Mein Kampf” of Jihad
Mark Tapson
If
there is a positive side to the rise of ISIS, it is that the West has
had its head jerked from the sand and has been made to witness a
bottomless, bloodthirsty evil: crucifixions, beheadings, enslavement of
women, live burial of children, mass executions... as one analyst
writes, this violence is not "whimsical, crazed fanaticism, but a very
deliberate, considered strategy". |

You Can't Reform Islam Without
Reforming Muslims
Daniel Greenfield
Islam
is not an idea. It is a tribe. Talking about reforming the words of
Islam is an abstraction. Islam did not begin with a book. It began with
clan and sword. Even in the modern skyscraper cities of the West, it
remains a religion of the clan and the sword. And if Islam has not
changed, that is because Muslims do not want it to. |

11 Reasons Why ISIS Might Be
More Dangerous Than al-Qaeda
Steven Bucci
ISIS
is not just the terror group de jour. They are a hugely successful
movement with an apocalyptic, nihilistic philosophy. When they say
"convert, join us, or die", they not only mean it, but they follow
through with horrific effect. But let's look deeper. What else makes
them such a real security threat, to Iraq, to the region, to the world,
and to the U.S.? Here are 11 reasons. |

Militant Islam: Enemy of
Civilization
William A. Levinson
Most
bullies run like rats when you confront them head-on, and this includes
the purveyors of the toxic ideology they (not I) call Islam – at least
in a civilized country where they cannot run to compliant and/or
corrupt jurists who will enforce a speech code. The agenda of using
Islam as a cover for a war against human rights, and Civilization
itself, stops here, and it stops now. |

How Historic Revisionism Justifies
Islamic Terrorism
Raymond Ibrahim
How
important, really, is history to current affairs? Do events from the
7th century – or, more importantly, how we understand them – have any
influence on U.S. foreign policy today? By way of answer, consider some
parallels between academia's portrayal of the historic Islamic jihads
and the U.S. government's and media's portrayal of contemporary Islamic
jihads. |
6oct13 |
In the Name of Islam
Daniel Greenfield
Moments
like these put the Clash of Civilizations into bloody context. This
isn't abstract politics. It's not about economics, the environment or
foreign policy. It's about a worldview in which a five-year-old who
can't recite the Islamic confession of faith deserves to be killed. The
crime is not being a Muslim. |

The Crusades Reconsidered
Mike Konrad
One of the idiocies passed off for decades
among Western historians is bemoaning the Crusades as evil. The Islamic
world – the Ummah
– has disseminated this imaginary charge against the West, and like
fools, we have absorbed Arab lies and taken the blame to heart. But the
most superficial reading of Western history should put that canard to
rest. |
14jul13 |
Why Islam is Not a Religion
Rebecca Bynum
One
thing we can definitely say about Islam is that is it not solely
confined to a belief system. If it is a religion it is not a religion
only. Islam is a total system of life and contains within itself a
particular social system, judicial system, and political system which
includes geo-political aspirations – the conquest and administration of
territory. |
26may13 |
Islam vs. Islamism
Daniel Pipes
Islamism
accurately indicates an Islamic-flavored version of radical utopianism,
an -ism like other -isms, comparable to fascism and communism. Aping
those two movements, for example, Islamism relies heavily on conspiracy
theories to interpret the world, on the state to advance its ambitions,
and on brutal means to attain its goals. |

Jihad: A Study in Perpetual War
Against the West
Kelly O'Connell
The
purpose of jihad is to convert, impoverish or kill all unbelievers. It
is an essential element of the teachings of Mohammad, and cannot simply
be removed from the Koran. Therefore, when are Americans going to take
seriously Islam as a threat and figure out a way to defuse its
dangerous demand to subjugate the world in the name of Allah? |

Ignoring
Islamo-Fascism at our Peril
Alan Caruba
A
great deal of the problem is that Americans believe that Islam is a
"religion." Historically, it has been a cult of conquest that merges
its belief system with a political agenda in which Sharia law is
intended to be imposed throughout the world. Its early, swift spread
was based on terror and warfare. |

More Facts on the Myth of "The

Michael Brown
In
the oft-quoted words of the celebrated Arab-American historian and
Princeton University professor, Philip Hitti, testifying before the
Anglo-American Committee in 1946, “There is no such thing as
‘Palestine’ in history, absolutely not.” And so, if there was no
“Palestine” in the pre-1948 Arab consciousness, there was no
Palestinian people. |

Why Confront Islamism?
Amil Imani
The
hodgepodge of Islamic scripture is the medium for generating all kinds

disaffected, alienated, and disenfranchised. It is from the ranks of
this population that Islamists heavily recruit. |

From an Arab Spring to a Muslim
Winter
Daniel Greenfield
Our [act of spreading democracy] doesn’t have

practice, rather than believe. You can teach people to count ballots,

Slavery in Islam

Lt. Colonel James Zumwalt, USMC (ret)

is a definitive line over which a good Muslim, gone bad, steps in

The Myth of Peaceful Islam in Bosnia
and the Hidden Islamic Jihad
Lee Jay Walker
The

Kelly O'Connell
Discussed

communicates better than any other method the true historic beliefs of

better informed on the jihad threat than most US
citizens; but David Von Drehle’s article contains many details about
Qutb’s twisted thinking and insane hatred of Western civilization that
will be new. |

It's
Not Just Osama
Carol

What has happened in Britain in this

‘coming Caliphate,’ know that the threat is huge, is massively
supported and may never be extinguished.

Thinking
Like an Arab
Alan

If it hasn’t occurred to most Americans by
now, Arabs don’t think like us. They see the world in very different

The
Truth about Islamic Crusades
and Imperialism
Historical facts say
that Islam
has been imperialistic – and would still like to be, if only for
religious reasons. Many Muslim clerics, scholars, and activists, for
example, would like to impose Islamic law around the world. Historical
facts say that Islam, including Muhammad, launched their own Crusades
against Christianity long before the European Crusades. |

The Mother of All Connections
A
special report on the new evidence of collaboration between Saddam
Hussein's Iraq and al Qaeda.
The Weekly
Standard – Stephen F. Hayes
& Thomas Joscelyn
All of this is new
information obtained since the fall of the Hussein regime. And yet
critics of the Iraq war and many in the media refuse to see
it. Just two weeks ago, President Bush gave a prime-time
speech on Iraq. Among his key points: Iraq is a central front in the
global war on terror that began on September 11. |

Validity
of Islam
George
Mason
Islam depends on the validity of only two
fundamental concepts. One is the existence of their super-deity they
call “Allah.” The other leg on which Islam stands depends on the
legitimacy of Muhammad himself, his character and his proclamations. |

Lying
about Iraq
The
Federalist Patriot
The principal objective of
President Bush's doctrine of pre-emption – Operation Enduring Freedom
(or "Operation Let's Roll," as it's known around our shop) – is to keep
the front lines of our war with Jihadistan on their turf, rather than
our own. |

The
American Will
Kim
Weissman
Throughout our nation’s history, whenever
we have faced an external threat to our existence, we have put aside
our ideological differences and united in common cause until the danger

meaningless if our nation itself ceased to exist as a free and
constitutional republic. |

Kim

When you have large numbers of people
ready to commit suicide, and ready to do it by making themselves into
human bombs, using the most normal instruments of daily life – an
airplane, a car, a garage door opener, a cell phone, fertilizer, a
tennis shoe – you create a weapon that is undeterrable, undetectable
and inexhaustible. |

What
Makes a Terrorist?
James

Terrorism, however motivated, baffles

Venona: What

So why don't more Americans know about the

that 'McCarthyism' is still the real threat. |

The

Think like a Muslim
Daniel
Pipes
Students, especially in public schools,
should approach Islam in a critical fashion - learning the bad as well
as the good, the archaic as well as the modern. They should approach it
from the outside, not as believers, precisely as they do with every
other religion. |

God and Mammon:
Does
Poverty Cause Militant Islam?
Daniel

Militant Islam (or Islamism) is not a
response to poverty or impoverishment; not only are Bangladesh and Iraq
not hotbeds of militant Islam, but militant Islam has often surged in
countries experiencing rapid economic growth. |

If the people making that argument

might have some second thoughts. |

The answer has to be that a state of total

The Arab Legacy of Hate
Dr. Samuel
L. Blumenfeld
When in 1948 the United Nations voted in favor

states, Arab leaders rejected it. And so, when the British finally
departed from Palestine, leaders of the Jewish community declared the
restoration of Israel as a sovereign state. |

Islam

Alan

The enmity the drives Muslims is best

of the evildoers." |

At least five different attacks on six

dismantling al Qaeda. |

"Jihad"
In Their Own Words
Eugene
Narrett, Ph.D
It is timely to consider the
