Duck and No Cover: Brit Media Scared to Show Charlie Hebdo Cover

January 20, 2015

By Selwyn Duke Never in the field of human conflict have so many cowered so much before so few. That’s just what Winston Churchill might say were he around today observing the political correctness that reigns in his and other Western nations’ media. And a prime example occurred this past Wednesday when a British news…
Patriotic Movements on the Rise: The Anti-Islamist Worm Turns as Europe Burns

January 13, 2015

By Selwyn Duke Aside from saying he “vomits” on his magazine’s new supporters, Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Bernard Holtrop lamented in a recent interview that the January 7 attack on his magazine would help Marine Le Pen’s National Front Party (NF). This is nothing new for Charlie journalists, by the way; while they’ve become a symbol…
Je ne Suis pas Charlie — I’m Sane

January 13, 2015

By Selwyn Duke It’s so often the case that the best thing a person can do to improve his reputation is die. John F. Kennedy is now a legendary president, but would he be estimated so highly if he’d been able to end his political career as a man and not a myth? Ah, the…
Fire Chief Sacked for Writing Book With Christian View of Homosexuality

January 9, 2015

By Selwyn Duke The Atlanta government may not yet be burning books, but they sure burned a man who wrote one. The Georgia city’s mayor, Kasim Reed, announced Tuesday that he had terminated Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran. The reason? Cochran expressed disapproval of homosexual behavior in a self-published book. The chief had already endured a…
Freedom Burning: Censorship and Submission in Islam’s Name

January 3, 2015

By Selwyn Duke “Islam in a man is like rabies in a dog,” said famed British statesman Winston Churchill. “Islam is a religion of peace,” said contemporary British statesman David Cameron. These two statements, both uttered by men who were or would become British prime minister, are separated by more than 100 years in time…
Forget North Korea: Watch Out for Chinese Censorship of Hollywood

December 22, 2014

By Selwyn Duke Pudgy and profligate little Kim Jong-un must be swelling with pride. With the FBI now concluding that North Korea was responsible for the recent computer hacking of Sony Corporation, it appears that Kim has succeeded in projecting power beyond his borders in, essentially, censoring a Western film. That work, of course, is…
Christian With Christian Message Refused Service by 13 Pro-homosexual Bakers

December 17, 2014

By Selwyn Duke It was the baker’s dozen of discrimination. A Christian went to 13 pro-homosexual bakeries and requested a cake with a Christian message. And he was refused service every time. It was reported in November that a baker was facing legal consequences for refusing to bake a cake with the message “Support gay…
Muslim Columnist: Regulation, “Diversity” Could Stop Negative Newspaper Coverage of Islam

November 21, 2014

By Selwyn Duke While Britain already has hate-speech laws that stifle criticism of Islam, this isn’t enough for the political director of the Huffington Post UK, Mehdi Hasan. Speaking at a London media industry event hosted by Mindshare UK last Thursday, the columnist complained of what he called “demonizing press coverage” of Muslims and said…
Jihad Is Fine? So Says 80 Percent of Holland’s Young Turkish Muslims

November 17, 2014

By Selwyn Duke Is the Netherlands becoming a netherworld of Islamic extremism? If a new poll can be believed, this very well may be the case. The research, conducted by the Motivaction group in Amsterdam, concerns the attitude of Dutch Turks between the ages of 18 and 34 about the Islamic State (also known as…
It’s Official: The Democrats are the Party of the Devil

November 13, 2014

By Selwyn Duke Perhaps the first clue, or the ten thousandth, was when many Democrats opposed the reinsertion of God into their party’s platform in 2012 and booed the judgment that the measure to do so had passed. But now it’s official: The Democrats are the party of the Devil.
