The gravest threat we face from terrorism, as the killings in Norway by Anders Behring Breivik underscore, comes not from the Islamic world but the radical Christian right and the secular fundamentalists who propagate the bigoted, hateful caricatures of observant Muslims and those defined as our internal enemies. The caricature and fear are spread as [...]

“Extreme violence has a way of preventing us from seeing the interests it serves.” (La violencia extrema se las arregla para que no veamos los intereses a los que sirve) Naomi Klein 1. Noruega es uno de los últimos países europeos de modelo socialdemócrata que han sobrevivido a la ofensiva neoliberal. El secreto de esta supervivencia [...]

Before the deadly attack in Norway that killed 76 people, suspect Anders Behring Breivik left a long trail of material meticulously outlining his political beliefs. His 1,500-page political manifesto titled, “A European Declaration of Independence,” seeks common cause with xenophobic right-wing groups around the world, particularly in the United States.

Las tres interminables guerras de Occidente contra el resto del mundo Los musulmanes eran sanguinarios y traicioneros. Lanzaron un ataque sorpresa contra el ejército francés y masacraron a todos y cada uno de los soldados, 20.000 en total. Hace más de mil años, en los pasos de montaña de España, la horda musulmana acabó con los [...]

The Three Unfinished Wars of the West against the Rest The Muslims were bloodthirsty and treacherous. They conducted a sneak attack against the French army and slaughtered every single soldier, 20,000 in all. More than 1,000 years ago, in the mountain passes of Spain, the Muslim horde cut down the finest soldiers [...]
