The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War On America by Pamela Geller with Robert Spencer
Gingrich at American Enterprise Institute: “This is not a war on terrorism. Terrorism is an activity. This is a struggle with radical Islamists in both their militant and their stealth form.”
“…The stealth form believes in using cultural, intellectual, and political [means]. But their end goal is exactly the same.” While the emphasis on “radical Islamists” sidesteps the fundamental ideological cause of Islamic jihad — the teachings of the Qur’an and the sayings and example of Muhammad — there are several promising moments in this six-minute […]

Fitzgerald: The Commercial Traveller David Cameron, His Cringe, His Whinge, His View Of The World
What shall we make of David Cameron? What can we learn from his little speech in Ankara?
