Early American Awareness of Islamic Terrorism

The American founding fathers and early scholars – since the 18^th century - were aware of deeply-rooted Islamic violence, terrorism, intolerance and hatred toward other Muslims, as well as non-Muslims.

Muslim Commemoration of 9/11

Islamic terrorism has been part of the American story, since the first (1801-1805) and the second (1815) US wars against Libya, Tunisia and Algeria-based Muslim pirates. 

Defense and Ceasefire – Not an Option

The war on terrorism cannot be won by defensive - but only by offensive – means, notwithstanding the impressive performance of the Iron Dome missile defense system.

Root Causes of Anti-US Islamic Terrorism

Humiliating a Super Power – preferably on its own soil - would be critical to the resurrection of Islamic grandeur. Therefore, no US pressure on Israel would spare Washington the wrath of rogue Islamic regimes.

The Unholy Alliance of Islamic Narco-Terrorism

September 11, 2001 – A Decade of Lessons

September 11, 2001 constituted a horrific awakening from the post-Cold War delusions of "Peace Dividends" and a "New World Order" to the reality of a "New World Disorder" and a worldwide surge of Islamic terrorism.

Wiki-Leaks and Obama is Exposed

Recently published Wikileaks documents expose the failure of President Obama's counter-terrorism policy.

While reaffirming a 1,400 years old Muslim track record, the documents refute Obama's fundamental assumptions, which have shaped his counter-terrorism policy: that the Palestinian issue is a root cause of Middle East turbulence and anti-Western terrorism; that Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are allies of the US; that there is no Islamic terrorism since Islam promotes peace and not terrorism; that there is no Jihadist terrorism since Jihad is a process which purifies the soul; that there is no global terrorism; that Islamic terrorists represent a Muslim minority which rejects modernity and that Islam has always been part of the American story.
