The Revered and Reviled Bernard Lewis

A Retrospective Of The Scholar Who Provided The Intellectual Ammunition For The Iraq War

Daphna Berman  – September/October 2011

Bernard Lewis has just moved to a small apartment in the manicured suburbs on Philadelphia’s Main Line. At 95, it was time for the man the Encyclopedia of Historians and Historical Writing calls the “most influential postwar historian of Islam and the Middle East” to leave Princeton—his home for more than 35 years—for a senior living facility known for attracting retired academics.

“I’m getting old, I’m no longer sure about dates,” he tells me in his polished British accent, though this moment of self-deprecation is hardly convincing: Our conversation reflects his uncanny ability to recollect dates, time lines and facts—both from his lifetime and several centuries before. As we talk, Lewis recalls the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699 as easily as the Turkish elections of 1950. He also regales me with stories, though it is impossible to predict which millennium they will date to. One minute, it’s the Marx Brothers skits he shared with the Shah of Iran in the days before the revolution, the next, an eighth century Arabian joke about a sinful woman praying to Allah for mercy before she dies. And he speaks with eloquence, his ideas organized into complete paragraphs.

Facebook

Social or Antisocial networking blocks true-humanistic-contact and relations with people. Do not confuse broadcasting these details with anything else but the culture of self absorption. Additionally you are handing the most intimate details of your life to a “Self Service Spy Ring.” Yes, you are giving the most vulnerable aspects of your life to the Government and the Corporate Oligarchy. You are helping those people working against your best interests. The Soviets dreamed of having an intelligence network of this camera by having local neighborhood spy rings. With Facebook you are doing this disservice to yourself.

Ann Barnhardt, a Constitutional Review w Solutions

Der følger en længere afhandling med, som jeg har sat under videoen. Den yderste højrefløj i USA er noget for sig. Der er ikke rigtig noget bidrag her, som en konservativ på vore breddergradder kan bruge til noget:

We the people of the United States Establish Justice? Totalitarian states are rich in law and short in justice. We live in an age “whereby our rights have been incrementally and consistently destroyed.” Ann Barnhardt; Ann Barnhardt reviews the “Bill of Rights” and the “Constitution” against the realities of the day here in the “First Republic of the United States.” Is it possible that years of legislation and malfeasance, by the corporate oligarchy, has had the effect of ……. Find out about the fate of the United States in this ground breaking interview by Warren Pollock of Ann Barnhardt at her best as an advocate for freedom. Ann and I host our own little “Tea Party,” but not the kind the establishment would want to have.

Lets put a few phrases to the test.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

It is time to banish wishful thinking about Islamism

By Ayaan Hirsi Ali – February 8, 2012

A year ago many western commentators were celebrating an Arab spring. The internet generation personified by Wael Ghonim, the Google marketing executive, would take over power from military dictators and absolute monarchs in democratic elections. Those of us who warned that political Islam would be the principal beneficiary of elections in north Africa and the Middle East were dismissed as scaremongers.

Ever since 9/11, opinions in the west have been sharply divided on the popularity and legitimacy of political Islam. A minority – and I am one of them – argued that Islamism as a political doctrine was held by the mainstream in most of the House of Islam and particularly among Arabs; that violence was inherent in Islamist theory; and that if Islamists won state power they would not deliver prosperity.
