It’s ironic: in the U.S., Muslim Brotherhood operatives have gained enormous influence at high levels of government, and dhimmi think tanks and learned analysts recommend that the U.S. engage with this "moderate" group.

And the Muslim Brotherhood is poised to take advantage. Note that the CNN reporter here thinks that the demonstrators greeted the troops with "Allahu akbar" because they trust the army more than they trust the police, but it was Mubarak, after all, who called out the army — as Peter…

Paid ACORN consultant Peter Dreier is using a classic leftist trick: Accuse others of doing the terrible things you do. Dreier accuses Glenn Beck of inspiring potential violence against the radical communist-sympathizing Frances Fox Piven. In reality Dreier has it backwards.

It ain’t exactly the Thrilla in Manila, or even Wasilla, but tonight I’ll be debating the Islamic supremacist writer Moustafa Zayed, who has written a book that he claims is a refutation of my book The Truth About Muhammad. His is entertainingly entitled The Lies About Muhammad, and when…
