If there is a smoke, there is a fire, the saying goes, That is quite true, but one should find what the fire is, and who lit it.

The 'fires'n that produce thick, rarely innocent, often strategic smoke should therefore be scrutinized. they should be known and identified; and when they involve dishonesty, lies, or manipulation, they they should be ignored.

I have learned that one should say "Peace!" to those who shout their hatred for one's being and presence or at one's passage.

Al Qaeda's central political objective is the creation of an Islamic republic, not the progressive realignment of American foreign policy.

نحن المسلمين !
ديننا الفضيلة الظاهرة ، الحق الأبلج.
لا حجب ولا أستار ولا خفايا ولا أسرار.
هو واضح وضوح المئذنة . أفليس فيها ذلك المعنى ؟
هل في الدنيا جماعه او نحلة تكرر مبادئها وتذاع عشر مرات في اليوم
كما تذاع مبادئ ديننا نحن المسلمون ،على ألسنة المؤذنين :
أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأشهد أن محمداً رسول الله

People accuse me of having interiorized a feeling of racial inferiority, so that I attack my own culture out of self-hatred, because I want to be white. This is a tiresome argument. Tell me, is freedom then only for white people? Is it self-love to adhere to my ancestors' traditions and mutilate my daughters? To agree to be humiliated and powerless? To watch passively as my countrymen abuse women and slaughter each other in pointless disputes? When I came to a new culture, where I saw for the first time that human relations could be different, would it have been self-love to see that as a foreign cult, which Muslims are forbidden to practice?

إن الثورة على الأوضاع النسوية التقليدية آتية لا محالة، وليحذر الاسلاميون من أن يوقعهم الفزع من الغزو الحضاري الغربي، والتفسخ الجنسي المقتحم في خطأ المحاولة لحفظ القديم وترميمه بحسبانه أخف شررًا وضررًا، لأن المحافظة جهد يائس لا يجدي، والأوفق بالاسلاميين أن يقودوا هم النهضة بالمرأة من وحل الأوضاع التقليدية لئلا يتركوا المجتمع نهبا لكل داعية غربي النزعة يضل به عن سواء السبيل

The Orient and Islam have a kind of extrareal, phenomenologically reduced status that puts them out of reach of everyone except the Western expert. From the beginning of Western speculation about the Orient, the one thing the orient could not do was to represent itself. Evidence of the Orient was credible only after it had passed through and been made firm by the refining fire of the Orientalist’s work.

The neo-cons, or some of them, decided that they would back Clinton when he belatedly decided for Bosnia and Kosovo against Milosevic, and this even though they loathed Clinton, because the battle against religious and ethnic dictatorship in the Balkans took precedence. This, by the way, was partly a battle to save Muslims from Catholic and Christian Orthodox killers. That impressed me. The neo-cons also took the view, quite early on, that coexistence with Saddam Hussein was impossible as well as undesirable. They were dead right about that. They had furthermore been thinking about the menace of jihadism when most people were half-asleep.

And then I have to say that I was rather struck by the way that the Weekly Standard and its associated voices took the decision to get rid of Trent Lott earlier this year, thus removing an embarrassment as well as a disgrace from the political scene. And their arguments were on points of principle, not 'perception.' I liked their ruthlessness here, and their seriousness, at a time when much of the liberal Left is not even seriously wrong, but frivolously wrong, and babbles without any sense of responsibility. (I mean, have you read their sub-Brechtian stuff on Halliburton....?) And revolution from above, in some states and cases, is—as I wrote in my book A Long Short War—often preferable to the status quo, or to no revolution at all.
