This Week's Editorial

Leftists Defend Radical Islam — Conservatives Befriend Secular Muslims
By Larry Greenfield, Senior Fellow, American Freedom Alliance
FrontpageMag.com, April 29, 2013   

On April 11th, 2013, I participated in a public forum entitled “Islamists Rising in the Middle East: Where Next for America?” The panel was held at the University of California at Davis, (UCD), as a free event for the community, organized by the student club of the Ayn Rand Institute (ARI).

As an alum of nearby UC Berkeley, I expected some interest in the program, having previously documented campus radicalism in California.

 The panel included a leading scholar on the Middle East, Daniel Pipes, known for well-informed and well-traveled insights. His main theme for the evening was that radical Islam is the problem, and moderate Islam is the solution.

Taxed Enough Already: A Brief History of U.S. Taxation
The power to tax is the power to destroy.
By Larry Greenfield, Senior Fellow, American Freedom Alliance

Democracy May Have Had Its Day

Donald Kagan is engaging in one last argument. For his "farewell lecture" here at Yale on Thursday afternoon, the 80-year-old scholar of ancient Greece—whose four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War inspired comparisons to Edward Gibbon's Roman history—uncorked a biting critique of American higher education.

Universities, he proposed, are failing students and hurting American democracy. Curricula are "individualized, unfocused and scattered." On campus, he said, "I find a kind of cultural void, an ignorance of the past, a sense of rootlessness and aimlessness." Rare are "faculty with atypical views," he charged. "Still rarer is an informed understanding of the traditions and institutions of our Western civilization and of our country and an appreciation of their special qualities and values."

Join Avi Davis when he interviews Neil J. Kressel, author of the The Sons of Pigs and Apes,: Muslim Antisemitism and the Conspiracy of Silence
Log in and listen at any time

 The rise of antisemitism in the Muslim world is compounded by the fact that many in the West refuse to recognize the issue. Apathy, ignorance,confusion, bigotry and misguided multiculturalism have all contributed to the growth of this plague. Author Kressel argues convincingly that Muslim antisemitism is the acid test of the seriousness of Western liberalism. If the West fails to stem this growing tide, as now seems likely, future affairs will not go well for the proponents of democracy
