Mar. 26, 2003 update : If evidence points to a terrorist motive, reports the New York Times , the F.B.I. would most likely open a full investigation, officials said. But “at this point,” a law enforcement official in Los Angeles said, “I don't think there's anything that's pointing to that as the motive.” Apr. 8, 2003 update : According to the Cincinnati Enquirer , “U.S. Air Force Capt. Mark Wisher, the Northern Kentuckian injured during a grenade attack carried out by a member of his own unit in Kuwait, is back home in Tennessee, comfortable but not content. … Because the incident is still under investigation, Wisher can say little about what happened that night in the Kuwaiti desert. But he did call it 'a terrorist attack, the kind of terrorism we are trying to keep from our homeland'.” यह सब कुछ उसी बात पर जोर देता है जो कुछ मैने जनवरी में लिखा था, “इस दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण - तथ्य से नहीं बचा जा सकता कि कानून प्रवर्तन संस्थाओं में सरकारी कर्मचारी, सेना और कूटनीतिक सदस्यों की आतंकवाद के साथ सम्पर्क की निगरानी की जानी चाहिए इसी प्रकार जेलों में मुस्लिम चैपलिन और सैन्य बलों में भी। मुस्लिम यात्रियों और आप्रवासियों की पृष्ठभूमि की तलाश की जाये। चर्च और मन्दिरों में लागू दोने वाली देखरेख से अधिक मस्जिदों पर की जाये ''।

Mar. 8, 2009 update : Just days later and the Dubai authorities are at it again, this time excluding Sarah Younger of the Israel branch of the International Chamber of Commerce . And like the women's tennis federation, the ICC responded unequivocally, deciding in the future not to hold its conferences in countries that do not allow representatives of all its 140 member states to enter. Mark one more step toward the separation of civilizations. Apr, 7, 2009 update : For a scorching on-site analysis of “a city built from nothing in just a few wild decades on credit and ecocide, suppression and slavery,” see Johann Hari's long article, “ The dark side of Dubai ,” in today's Independent . One quote, from a bankrupted Canadian woman: “The thing you have to understand about Dubai is - nothing is what it seems. Nothing. This isn't a city, it's a con-job. They lure you in telling you it's one thing - a modern kind of place - but beneath the surface it's a medieval dictatorship.” Related Topics: Persian Gulf & Yemen receive the latest by email: subscribe to daniel pipes' free mailing list This text may be reposted or forwarded so long as it is presented as an integral whole with complete and accurate information provided about its author, date, place of publication, and original URL. Comment on this item इसे असफल होना ही है। पिछले दो सदी से मुस्लिम जीवन के केंद्र में रहे मुद्दों जैसे परम्परा और आधुनिकता के मध्य तनाव, वैश्विक मूल्यों से मुस्लिम पहचान का विरोध तथा आर्थिक विकास के दबाव का सामना तो किसी समय करना ही पडेगा। अब जबकि इतिहास के साथ दुबई का अवकाश अचानक समाप्त हो गया है तो इसका कठिन कार्य आरम्भ हो रहा है

How long until Obama understands his error and retreats from it? How much damage will he do in the meantime? Mar. 23, 2010 update : The authorities gave final approaval for the construction of 20 housing units at the Shepherd Hotel compound . This comes at a delicate time, as Arutz Sheva explains: The Obama administration created a loud diplomatic flap with Israel two weeks ago over another construction project in Jerusalem, accusing Israel of purposely announcing the approval of 1,600 housing units at Ramat Shlomo in order to embarrass visiting Vice President Joe Biden. It remains to be seen whether the announcement regarding the Shepherd Hotel will lead to similar indignation by the US. No less likely to protest is the British government, which is particularly sensitive about the project because it is located next to the British consulate. Jan. 9, 2010 update : Bulldozers pulled down Shepherd Hotel except for the facade. U.S. secretary of state Hillary Clinton announced that this is a “disturbing development.” Bulldozers tear down part of the Shepherd Hotel, Jerusalem. 27 मई से जब से ओबामा प्रशासन ने बस्तियों के मामले में इजरायल पर आक्रमण आरम्भ किया है उसने अपरिपक्वता दिखाई है, क्या प्रशासन को अच्छी तरह से जाना समझा तथ्य फिर से याद करना होगा कि जब वाशिंगटन मध्य पूर्व के अपने सहयोगियों पर रोब झाडने का प्रयास किया है वह असफल रहा है? इससे तो यही लगता है कि ऐसे मुद्दे को संघर्ष के लिये उठाना जिस पर कि इजरायल में आमसहमति है और जिन जेरूसलम की कोठियों पर इजरायलवादियों का दावा 1891 से ही है।

I finished Marguerite Michaels's article doubly dismayed. First, that a veteran Time journalist cannot see an American madrassah before her very eyes, replete with the alienation, resentment, supremacism, and isolation that feed the Islamist temperament. Secondly, that this “model school” quietly and openly churns out graduates hoping they will create an Islamic States of America. Mar. 17, 2006 update : It turns out that a star of the Islamist firmament, Ingrid Mattson , was associated with the Universal School of Bridgeview, Ill. (according to her biography for a Muslim Student Association event starting today). During her graduate studies in Chicago, Dr. Mattson was involved with the local Muslim community, serving on the board of directors of Universal School in Bridgeview. Comment : Once again, one cannot but be impressed by the seamless quality of the Wahhabi lobby.

Comment on this item मारगुरेट माईकल्स के लेख के अंत में मुझे दो तरफा निराशा हुई . एक तो यह कि टाईम पत्रिका की बुजुर्ग पत्रकार अमेरिका के मदरसे में अपनी आँखों से उस अलगाव , आक्रोश , सर्वोच्चता का अभिमान और एकांतिक भाव के दर्शन नहीं कर पाई जो इस्लामवादियों के स्वभाव को प्रेरित करता है . दूसरा यह मॉडल स्कूल शांतिपूर्वक और खुले आम स्नाताकों को इस आशा में शिक्षा देता है कि वे भविष्य में इस्लामिक स्टेट ऑफ अमेरिका का निर्माण कर सकें.

(3) And while we're at it, could someone remind VOA employees that there's a lively debate in the United States about radical Islam; for a change, how about VOA covering this rather than smothering it under the Islamist line? In 2006, Meredith Buel of VOA robotically took a Council on American-Islamic Relations press release and rewrote it as a VOA news item; for the gory details, see my weblog entry, “ Voice of America - CAIR's Shill .” And the DHS document that started the whole euphemizing campaign, “ Terminology to Define the Terrorists: Recommendations from American Muslims ,” relied on an unidentified “broad range of Muslim American community leaders and scholars” that has the hallmarks of CAIR & Co. Hey, VOA, repeat after me: “We work for the American people, we are not a subsidiary of CAIR.” Mar. 6, 2009 update : A reply to this article from Joan Mower of the Voice of America can be found at http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/151787 .

By contrast, also in 2004, the French government outlawed the hijab, the Muslim headscarf, from public educational institutions, disregarding ferocious opposition both within France and among Islamists worldwide . In Tehran, protesters shouted “Death to France!” and “Death to Chirac the Zionist!” The Palestinian Authority mufti, Ikrima Sa'id Sabri, declared, “French laws banning the hijab constitute a war against Islam as a religion.” The Saudi grand mufti, Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh, called them a human rights infringement. When the “Islamic Army in Iraq” kidnapped two French journalists, it threatened their execution unless the hijab ban was revoked. Paris stood firm. Mar. 1, 2013 update : A book has appeared making my argument writ large. Countering Terrorism in Britain and France: Institutions, Norms and the Shadow of the Past (Cambridge University Press) by Frank Foley of the Centre for Political and Constitutional Studies in Madrid argues that इसके विपरीत फ्रांस की सरकार ने फ्रांस के भीतर और दुनिया भर में इस्लामवादियों के तमाम विरोध के बाद भी 2004 में सार्वजनिक शिक्षण संस्थाओं से मुस्लिम स्कार्फ हटाते हुए हिजाब पर कानूनी पाबंदी लगा दी .तेहरान में इसके विरोध में प्रदर्शन कारियों ने नारा लगाया फ्रांस की मौत , यहूदी शिराक की मौत. फिलीस्तीन अथॉरिटी के मुफ्ती इकरीमी सय्यद सबरी ने घोषणा की कि हिजाब पर प्रतिबंध लगाने का फ्रांस का कानून इस्लाम धर्म के विरुद्ध युद्ध है .सउदी के प्रमुख मुफ्ती अब्दुल अजीज़ अल शेख ने इसे मानवाधिकारों को सीमित करना बताया .इराक की इस्लामिक आर्मी ने जब दो फ्रांसीसी पत्रकारों का अपहरण किया तो शर्त लगायी कि यदि हिजाब से पाबंदी नहीं हटाई गई तो पत्रकारों को मौत के घाट उतार दिया जाएगा .लेकिन पेरिस अपने फैसले पर दृढ़ रहा .
