Articles Worth Reading

Serge Trifkovic gives a lengthy interview on Front Page Magazine. I select some key passages here. Hugh Fitzgerald explains the French attitude and policy that blinds them to the threat of Islam as they dream of a pan-Mediterranean strategy in union with the Arab nations. James Arlandson reports on the criminalization of apostasy in France’s former colony of Algeria. Fjordman agues that Sweden “could become known as the Bosnia of northern Europe.” Andrew Bostom reminds us of Islam’s grip on Iraq’s (and Afghanistan’s) culture as our leaders pretend it isn’t a significant factor. His historical parallels are revealing. Edward Cline talks about NYU’s dhimmitude and the pathetic attempt of NYU’s Muslims to play the race card. Dennis Prager compares the threat of Islam with past threats.

All of the above are part of what neo-con Francis Fukuyama calls “markedly alarmist literature” in another of his out-of-the-sky conceptual schemes that marries a paleo-social-conservative like Pat Buchanan with an openly gay ex-pat like Bruce Bawer as the strangest bed-fellows yet imagined. Try again Frank!

Come, come now, Jason! Give the Devil his due! Couldn't you have added this article of mine to the list - an article which was splattered all over the Web for a long time, one which earned much praise?: Islam: The enemy of democracy and freedom!

Does one have to be an American to be apprecaited?

A worthy article Mark and I linked to it before. My post was going to be titled “Articles Du Jour” but I forgot the title by the time I finished. Getting old! By the way, notice that Trifkovic echoes what you’ve said here about the neologism, Islamism.

It's okay, Jason. I know you're a good blogging friend. That's how I count you anyway. :-)

Fjordman's article is amazing. That was like a glass of fine wine. Haven't made it through the rest yet, but I can't wait.
