Is it possible for anyone in the public eye to give a fair and considered answer to that question, let alone answer ‘yes’? for more click here

In Fall 2011, I taught Plato’s dialog, the Meno, to my upper-level Ethics class. What is relevant for our purposes is that the dialog addresses the question of the nature of justice and virtue. for more click here

The breathtaking contempt at the heart of the British government for its own people and for democracy was showcased by its Conservative-Liberal Democrats coalition on October 24. Prompted by popular sentiment, a non-binding motion on Britain and the European Union was scheduled to be debated by MPs. The motion proposed holding a referendum, giving the public a chance to express their opinion on whether the country should withdraw from the EU, or remain a part of the EU, perhaps with the intention of negotiating some powers back from Brussels. for more click here

The date is October 29, 2018, and Britain faces its darkest hour. On the battlefields of Europe, our Armed Forces have been humiliated. In makeshift prison camps on the continent, thousands of our young men and women sit forlornly, testament to the collapse of our ambitions. From the killing grounds of Belgium to the scarred streets of Athens, a continent continues to bleed. And, in the east, the Russian bear inexorably tightens its grip, an old empire rising from the wreckage of the European dream. for more click here

I first encountered Gisèle Littman, better known as “Bat Ye’or,” through her book, The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians under Islam while browsing through a Judaica section of a Barnes & Noble book store in Westport, Connecticut in 1985. Reading it opened my mind to the historical evidence of the subjugated treatment of Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims under shari’a in the wake of Islamic Jihad over conquered lands. for more click here

“In summary, in Europe, Globalization and the Coming Caliphate, Bat Ye’or observes that the EU experience, which began as a bulwark for security and defense, a means to fuel its economy and a quest for global empowerment, has become a foolhardy enterprise that has led to Eurabia, the subjugated status of dhimmitude. Under Eurabia, Europe is now experiencing the gradual eradication of human rights, the legitimization of jihadist terrorism and the demise of the democratic values of freedom, justice, tolerance and equality. Bat Ye’or’s observations of Europe’s descent into Eurabia and dhimmitude are a caution for Americans facing the threat of Islamization. A clear and present danger is building in our midst that could take the same shape and direction of Eurabia if Americans fail to be vigilant.”

It seemed in so many ways to be a day just like any other. Here in the Midwest, September 11, 2001, began as a crisp, clear, perfect day – the sort of day that signals that summer is drawing to a close and autumn is just around the corner. The streets of Chicago that morning were filled with people headed to work, children on their way to school – the ordinary sights and sounds of a big city stirring. for more click here
