Christianity teaches us that it is easier for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven. Islam teaches us that is even easier to reach Heaven simply by entering the hole of a camel. An old Arab saying once had it that “The pilgrimage to Mecca is not complete without copulating with the camel.” What about the modern-day hajj of conquest into the West? (more…)

All culture replicates ethnicity and race at another level of mental construction. The whole point of human culture, and why there are so many diverse ones of various artistic and intellectual standards, is because they replicate what human beings are at a higher level. (more…)

Peter Hammond
Slavery, Terrorism and Islam – The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat
Cape Town: Christian Liberty Books, 2021
Peter Hammond’s Slavery, Terrorism and Islam is structured as a sweeping historical indictment. It is not written in the tone of comparative theology or neutral historiography. Hammond’s objective is to argue that the themes of slavery, expansionist warfare, religious supremacy, and coercion are not distortions of Islam but are embedded in its earliest precedents and carried forward through centuries of jurisprudence and empire. In his telling, modern Islamist terrorism represents continuity rather than corruption. (more…)

Editor’s Note: Today a long-lost clip of Jonathan Bowden speaking at the British National Party’s 2005 Red, White, and Blue event was released on YouTube. This is a transcript. I want to thank whoever found and shared this rare early Bowden.
Now what’s the most important event which has happened in England/Britain in the last two months? And it’s got to be two sets of suicide bombings in the center of our capital city. Now, two days after the one that happened on the first Thursday, I traveled on the central line, which is one of the lines that wasn’t bombed, out to Essex, because I just had business. And people can’t get around the capital in any other way.

This month, the Catholic Church’s new seemingly left-wing and open-borders pontiff, Leo XIV, visited Lebanon. A truly benighted country, but one whose very existence, as this Vatican News headline summarizing the Pope’s thoughts rather optimistically put it, “stands as witness to interreligious dialogue”. I think there must have been some kind of a misprint. (more…)

In chess, we all know that the aim is to checkmate your opponent’s king. But this does not mean that in the normal course of play it’s wise to aim all your firepower directly at him. After all, he’s often pretty well protected, and directing your pieces in such an obvious way might leave you vulnerable to counterattack. Thus, it’s usually best to first meet fire with fire in the middle of the board before you go king hunting. (more…)

The Trans-Saharan Slave Trade
Routledge, 2007
The trans-Saharan slave trade is one of the most frequently ignored systems of human trafficking in global history. Public discussion normally centres the Trans-Atlantic trade, whose principal actors were European and American merchants and plantation societies. (more…)

Diaspora Jews—especially left-wing ones—have been a problematic ethnic minority for multiracial egalitarian societies in the West for many years. This is not merely because Jewish elites tend to feel that they are in a constant state of conflict with their host populations, but also because they often adhere to the following behavior pattern.

That the Hamidian Massacres of the 1890s resulted in up to 300,000 Armenian deaths and did not spark either a civil war or a widespread Armenian exodus from the Empire is evidence that the Armenians had been a diaspora for so long that many of them had lost the will—or forgotten how—to defend themselves.

Pastor Dan Gayman
Ishmael and Islam vs. Isaac and Christianity
Schell City, Missouri: Watchman Outreach Ministries, 2002
There is nothing quite like the last few weeks of summer in North America. The stifling humidity of summer is gone, the leaves on the trees are a deep and happy shade of green, and the sky is often a severe-clear blue. There was no late summer quite like that of The Year of Our Lord, 2001. The weather was magnificent and the sky a brilliant azure blue. (more…)

I call for an immediate ban on the movie “Gravity” as it shows Earth to be spherical, which is against the Quran, and thus insulting to Muslims.

CHAPTER 1
GOING UNDERGROUND
Who killed philosophy?
Philosophy bestows this boon upon us; it makes us joyful in the very sight of death, strong and brave no matter in what state the body may be, cheerful and never failing though the body fail us.
Seneca, letter to Lucilius. (more…)

I can date my study of British politics quite precisely to a few days after 9/11. I heard a Muslim woman on the BBC’s Today program, sounding very pious and concerned about something which has become a regular Islamic stratagem following any terrorist attack: the danger of an “anti-Muslim backlash.” This is designed to engineer the sympathies of the listener, and the problem, she informed us, is that so many non-Muslims don’t know anything about Islam. My own reading was meandering down various dead-ends at the time, and I decided to take her implied advice and learn more about the religion, as we were told after 9/11, of peace. (more…)
