Who Is Really “Being Stupid”: Jeff Goldblum or Islam’s Apologists?
FrontPage Magazine Irrationalism—particularly in the guise of emotionalism and relativism—has become the greatest defender and chief apologist for Islam in the West. Or so Jeff Goldblum is learning.

How “the Evil Called Barack Obama” Enabled the Genocidal Slaughter of Nigerian Christians
Not only is Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari behind what several international observers are calling a “genocide” of Christians in his nation, but Barack Hussein Obama played a major role in the Muslim president’s rise to power: these two interconnected accusations are increasingly being made—not by “xenophobic” Americans but Nigerians themselves, including several leaders and officials.

COVID-19: Humanity or Hypocrisy?
If lives suddenly matter, what about this, that, and the other thing? The official reason for the unprecedented closure of much of the United States in response to COVID-19 is that lives matter. Indeed, they apparently matter so much that no sacrifice is too great—neither to your freedom nor to the economy—if it can save […]
How “Triggerism” Replaced Factualism on Islam
One upon a time, whenever two or more parties disagreed, the logical thing for them to do was resort to argumentation: it was not enough to say “I’m right and you’re wrong” (unless they were children).

No More Swords in the West, Only Scimitars
“If Islam is terrorizing the West today, that is not because it can, but because the West allows it to. For no matter how diminished, a still swinging Scimitar will always overcome a strong but sheathed Sword.” Those are the very last words of my 352-page book, Sword and Scimitar, which chronicles fourteen centuries of […]
