Reaping What is Sown
Reader comment on: Muslims Angry Over Spanish Citizenship for Jews
Submitted by John Whitbread, Dec 26, 2012 07:07
Muslim expansionism by military conquest was only stopped from overtaking Europe by drastic and determined military response. There is a huge propaganda excercise on to revise our understanding of European and world history. The archaeological and written evidence is however enough to dispel this image of a benign force at work in European and world history. The words may be soothing, persuasive, and pleading, but the deeds do not match them. The fact is Islam, as an international entity, invaded non-Muslim sovereign territory in a brutally enforced and relentless drive to Islamize the known world. Muslims have no legal rights to claim moral equivalence to the Spanish Jews who had migrated to Spain, lived under Spanish sovereignty and lived under Spanish law until they were expelled for reasons of racial and religious prejudice. Muslims were driven back out from the land they illegally invaded and seized by conquest. They may think that, in accordance with their religious beliefs that Spain, once it was conquered, became an Islamic waqf, but that is by their own unique set of laws that only apply to them. International law recognizes the rights of the invaded - not the invader, as is just and proper. Any attempt to Islamize international law or the laws of other nations must be resisted at every opportunity.

Switzerland: Multicultural Paradise?
by Soeren Kern
In March, the Swiss Federal Intelligence Service announced that a growing number of jihadists are being recruited in Switzerland. The number of robberies and assaults on Swiss trains has skyrocketed to such an extent that the Swiss government recently opted to equip transport police with firearms, and at least 1,400 women in Switzerland have been victims of forced marriages.
Future Russian Strategic Challenges
by Peter Huessy and Mark B. Schneider
The current administration is in a poor position to negotiate with Russia. There are press reports that the administration will attempt to evade Congressional approval of a new arms control agreement.
Russia's Brinkmanship with US Clashes with Israel's Security
by Yaakov Lappin
Jerusalem will find Russia's delivery of the S-300 missile system to Syria to be an intolerable development; it is safe to assume that Israel will act to prevent this from happening.
Fatah's Drive Against "Normalization"
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The Fatah activists who are threatening Palestinian teenagers for talking to Israelis and playing football with them are the same people who claim, at least in public, that they support the peace process with Israel. But how can there ever be a peace process when anyone who meets with an Israeli is immediately denounced as a traitor? It is worth noting that most of these denunciations are coming form the "moderate" Fatah, and not from Hamas.
The U.S. Role in the Sunni-Shi'ite Conflict
by Harold Rhode
America should back only pro-American forces who do not privately finance or publicly promote hatred against the U.S. It is in America's interest to rid the Muslim world of the Islamic fundamentalist forces whose goals and actions are inimical to American and Western interests; not to cozy up to them.
