Why the American Raj Is Under Siege
The killing of the US ambassador to Libya and angry demonstrations across the Muslim world over a tacky anti-Islamic hate video have produced the usual flood of wrong-headed commentary from our media and politicians. Across the land comes the familiar cry, “why do they hate us?” That any Americans can […]
The Powerplays behind “The Innocence of Muslims”

Anti-American Autumn Follows the Arab Spring
