Several times over the last couple of months, I have received emails praising the works of the anti-jihadist bloggers. But in the emails and blog comments there is also the sense of frustration that something must be done about the Islamist threat and not just talk about it.

It’s been almost 10 years since 9-11 and as time passes on, its memory diminished while the colophony of appeasing and apologist voices has increased. To many this seems like a retreat from the lessons learned by 9-11 and the defeatists and appeasers in our political leadership, mains stream media and institutions seem to be ruling the day. “Where is the resistance by the general public?” “Why haven’t we learned the lessons of 9-11?” “Where is the progress in confronting the Islamo-fascist ideology?” “Why isn’t the obvious threat seen and reported by the main stream media?” “Where is the leadership?”

Just the thought of such a state is an insult to those who live in all-Muslim countries. On Sunday, when Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu offered a Palestinian State if there is recognition of a Israel as the national homeland for Jewish people, a senior Palestinian negotiator responded, “Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu can wait a thousand years without finding a single Palestinian prepared to accept his offer.” The offer of living side-by-side in peace and tolerance is too offensive to discuss even for the “moderate” Arab Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said the demand that Palestinians recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people “schuttles [sic] the chances for peace.” for more click here

“It’s about anti-Americanism,” the report’s author says. Indeed, Bolivia’s connections with Iran mirror those of Venezuela under Hugo Chavez: Both countries’ leaders fancy themselves populist heroes bent on sticking a finger in the eye of Uncle Sam. And both have been reported to have shipped uranium to Iran. What neither seem to have taken into account, however, is that Iran has its own agenda for its activity in Latin America, and at the end of the day, infidels are infidels. for more click here
