Right of a culture became more
important than the right of individual
By Edward Turner
Posted: January, 2007
Bad multiculturalism has undoubtedly arrived. It
rode in on a trendy relative conception of right in
which the right of the culture became more
important than the right of the individual. Now,
British institutions are defending the cultural
rights of the immigrants, even of Islamists.
Italian model of integration appears
comforting but is no different
By Antonio Fabrizio
Posted: January, 2007
In Italy immigrants may have high rates of
occupation but these are limited to low-skilled
jobs. In this sense, Italy is having no better
performance than France, the Netherlands or the
UK, as it is much harder to find immigrants who
can work as lawyers, doctors, or teachers.
Concerned journalism is a new genre,
anti-West, created by modern wars
By Antonio Fabrizio
Posted: Nov 5, 2006
These journalists risk their lives to spread a
culture of peace and human rights, to report on
civilians caught in wars, and are often very critical
of the West and especially of the way Western
armies handle conflicts. This signifies 'concerned'
and 'active' journalism created by modern wars.
200 groups and networks and 1600
individuals plotting terror in UK: MI5
By Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller
Posted: Nov 15, 2006
What we see at the extreme end of the spectrum
are resilient networks, some directed from
Al-Qaida in Pakistan, some more loosely inspired
by it, planning mass casualty suicide attacks.
Today they make home-made devices, tomorrow
they will use radioactive materials.
Mohammad cartoons, van Gogh, veil, a
clash of civilizations in Europe?
By Patrick Sabatier
Posted: Oct 22, 2006
A year after the wave of violent demos across the
Muslim world, protesting the publication of
caricatures of Mohammad by a Danish newspaper,
frictions between Europe and the Muslim world
multiply, threatening to make the “clash of
civilizations” a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Root Cause: Bin Laden was not using
his millions to build irrigation canals
By Alex Epstein

To the Islamic fundamentalists, American people
are “infidels” who should be killed. As a former
Taleban official clearly said, “The Americans are
fighting so they can live and enjoy the material
things in life. But we are fighting so we can die in
the cause of God.”
Confrontational ideologies take root
amongst the marginalized
By Hania Mourtada
Posted: Aug 15, 2006
Most residents of the Middle East look at Israel as
an offensive state, not a self-protective one. They
have their suspicions concerning its long-term
plans and these suspicions are especially
heightened with talks of ''Islamic fascism'' a “new
Middle East” circulating around.
There is near silence about true role
of Islam in international terrorism
By Edwin A Locke and Alex Epstein
Posted: Sep 15, 2006
The near silence about the true role of Islam in
motivating Islamic terrorists has two causes:
multiculturalism and religion. Multiculturalism
asserts that all cultures are equal and therefore
none may criticize another; we must uphold the
obvious superiority of the Western culture.
