Many terrorist attacks have happened since 2002 when the book was first published. We give a roll call of some of them and then revisit Dr. Trifkovic’s five policy points he had offered at that time for dealing with the Islamic threat. We also ask him whether he would be able to publish such a book today and what the consequences would be if he were able to.
America’s superstitious obsession with forecasting the future.
In this episode Dr. Trifkovic turns our attention to a “great ally” of the United States, Saudi Arabia, and the ongoing challenges that country has faced and will continue to face, as well as its “zero tolerance” policy towards any outward shows of Christianity.
Who in his right mind wants to ignite a World War between America’s NATO Empire and Russia? In addition to the obvious motive of blind greed, the masters of war always use crisis to consolidate their power and subjugate the American people.
Dr. Trifkovic explores the recent history of Chechnya and Turkey and the new military posture of Pakistan since it has acquired nuclear technology.
In this part of the series, we will take a look at some specific geographic areas in which Islam has made life difficult for non-Muslims, often doing so with the approval, implicit and explicit, of the West, particularly the United States.
Islam has some “tough words” for the Jews, to say the least. In this episode Dr. Trifkovic links the doctrinal beliefs of Islam towards Jews and how that played out in both remote and recent history. Dr. Trifkovic also questions the narrative of Islam being a “contributor” to Western civilization instead of simply being a broker by means of distributing the knowledge and goods of the people it conquered.
Islam does not truly consider women as equivalents to men in any sense of the word and this theological belief has everyday implications which also spill over into horrible treatment of children and African blacks.
