Fox & Friend: Prince Al-Waleed

Islam

Over the weekend, Fox News ventured into the “Is Islam Peaceful? Sure it is” carefully crafted conversation (or shall I say consensus). They invited Dennis Ross and Steven Emerson to comment. The last was better than the first, but neither, as far as I know, is a scholar of Islam.

That’s when Robert Spencer ought to have been brought in, but wasn’t—seldom is. Spencer is the author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), which is still a bestseller a year since its publication. His latest literary hole-in-one is The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World’s Most Intolerant Religion. It’s 63rd on Amazon. Both are courageous, path-breaking works.

As to why Fox has not consulted a genuine expert on Islam about its teachings, well, maybe their part-owner, Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, has “counseled” against it.

Prof. Paul Gottfried on ‘La-Raza Libertarians’

IMMIGRATION, Islam, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, libertarianism

The intrepid Professors Paul Gottfried writes the following in response to “La-Raza Libertarians“:

May Heaven bless you for raising these politically incorrect issues! Right now I’m looking at the tracts of a candidate for international relations at our college, who praises the West Germans for being so “wracked with guilt” that they handed over their country to Muslim immigrants.
As the descendant of people whom the Nazis chased out of Europe, I don’t feel compensated by the lunatic decision to deliver that straying continent into the hands of Islamicists. In fact I wouldn’t want these immigrants and asylum-seekers invading Europe from the Third World, whether or not they collect welfare benefits once they reach their destination.
It is essential that we keep making the distinction between favoring the free market whether here, in Israel, or in Europe, and encouraging the lunatic leftist ideology of open borders. What makes the view that you assailed yesterday particularly dishonest is that no one who expresses it wants us to stop Third World underclass immigration until we have abolished the welfare state. They are simply making excuses for not noticing who comes here.
