Focus on 'American Thinker'

From time to time, I hope to review some of the websites on my list of links. Most readers don’t always have time to ‘surf’ everyone’s list of links. The American Thinker has been on my list of links for some time. Current articles illustrate why.

What kind of book would be banned in India? Lifson, at AT, writes about a book written in Arabic and English that aims to covert Muslims to Christianity. Dhimmi-whipped politicians in India cave to Islamic objections.

Baehr, at AT, reminds us how Islam has fueled the attacks against Israel since 2000—even in after the economic gains during the 1990s. Islamists aren’t concerned with the well-being of Arabs in captured territory. There goal is clear.

Baehr’s comprehensive review of left-wing hatred for Israel is a classic and they reprint it here. He makes a distinction of what we, today, call liberal:

“I distinguish between leftists and liberals by one key test: how they feel about the country in which they live. If you tend to regard America as a primarily flawed, evil, unjust, racist country (or at least when Republicans are running it), and most importantly, believe that the US is the primary threat to world peace internationally, then you are a leftist, and not a liberal.”

Unfortunately, modern liberals doesn’t make this distinction—at least not often enough. Baehr describes the problem in detail. Here’s another fellow’s description of the left-Islam alliance.

Speaking of the delusional left, Lifton comments on a tribute to Che Guevara. He quotes an excellent article in the New York Sun. Here’s another quote:

“Ernesto "Che" Guevara was a sociopathic thug, a man who genuinely relished killing, a man with a passion for putting his pistol to other men's heads and blowing their brains out, preferably when they were bound, gagged, and blindfolded.”

And he gives details (not for the faint of heart.) Doesn’t anyone on the left feel embarrassed by the love that their comrades show for Arafat (“the father of modern terrorism”) and Che Guevara?
