Around the world, racism continues to poison societies, deepen inequalities & deny people their fundamental rights & freedoms. The antidote is unity & tangible action. Let’s fight for the dignity, rights and belonging of all people, reject injustice & build societies where racism & discrimination have no place.

From someone who teaches AP US History: If you are confused as to why so many Americans are defending the confederate flag, monuments, and statues right now, I put together a quick Q&A, with questions from a hypothetical person with misconceptions and answers from my perspective as an AP U.S. History Teacher: Q: What did the Confederacy stand for? A: Rather than interpreting, let's go directly to the words of the Confederacy's Vice President, Alexander Stephens. In his "Cornerstone Speech" on March 21, 1861, he stated "The Constitution... rested upon the equality of races. This was an error. Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth." Q: But people keep saying heritage, not hate! They think the purpose of the flags and monuments are to honor confederate soldiers, right? A: The vast majority of confederate flags flying over government buildings in the south were first put up in the 1960's during the Civil Rights Movement. So for the first hundred years after the Civil War ended, while relatives of those who fought in it were still alive, the confederate flag wasn't much of a symbol at all. But when Martin Luther King, Jr. and John Lewis were marching on Washington to get the Civil Rights Act (1964) and Voting Rights Act (1965) passed, leaders in the south felt compelled to fly confederate flags and put up monuments to honor people who had no living family members and had fought in a war that ended a century ago. Their purpose in doing this was to exhibit their displeasure with black people fighting for basic human rights that were guaranteed to them in the 14th and 15th Amendments but being withheld by racist policies and practices. Q: But if we take down confederate statues and monuments, how will we teach about and remember the past? A: Monuments and statues pose little educational relevance, whereas museums, the rightful place for Confederate paraphernalia, can provide more educational opportunities for citizens to learn about our country's history. The Civil War is important to learn about, and will always loom large in social studies curriculum. Removing monuments from public places and putting them in museums also allows us to avoid celebrating and honoring people who believed that tens of millions of black Americans should be legal property. Q: But what if the Confederate flag symbol means something different to me? A: Individuals aren't able to change the meaning of symbols that have been defined by history. When I hang a Bucs flag outside my house, to me, the Bucs might represent the best team in the NFL, but to the outside world, they represent an awful NFL team, since they haven't won a playoff game in 18 years. I can't change that meaning for everyone who drives by my house because it has been established for the whole world to see. If a Confederate flag stands for generic rebellion or southern pride to you, your personal interpretation forfeits any meaning once you display it publicly, as its meaning takes on the meaning it earned when a failed regime killed hundreds of thousands of Americans in an attempt to destroy America and keep black people enslaved forever. Q: But my uncle posted a meme that said the Civil War/Confederacy was about state's rights and not slavery? A: "A state's right to what?" - John Green Q: Everyone is offended about everything these days. Should we take everything down that offends anyone? A: The Confederacy literally existed to go against the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the idea that black people are human beings that deserve to live freely. If that doesn't upset or offend you, you are un-American. Q: Taking these down goes against the First Amendment and freedom of speech, right? A: No. Anyone can do whatever they want on their private property, on their social media, etc. Taking these down in public, or having private corporations like NASCAR ban them on their properties, has literally nothing to do with the Bill of Rights. Q: How can people claim to be patriotic while supporting a flag that stood for a group of insurgent failures who tried to permanently destroy America and killed 300,000 Americans in the process? A: No clue. Q: So if I made a confederate flag my profile picture, or put a confederate bumper sticker on my car, what am I declaring to my friends, family, and the world? A: That you support the Confederacy. To recap, the Confederacy stands for: slavery, white supremacy, treason, failure, and a desire to permanently destroy Selective history as it supports white supremacy. It’s no accident that: You learned about Helen Keller instead of W.E.B, DuBois You learned about the Watts and L.A. Riots, but not Tulsa or Wilmington. You learned that George Washington’s dentures were made from wood, rather than the teeth from slaves. You learned about black ghettos, but not about Black Wall Street. You learned about the New Deal, but not “red lining.” You learned about Tommie Smith’s fist in the air at the 1968 Olympics, but not that he was sent home the next day and stripped of his medals. You learned about “black crime,” but white criminals were never lumped together and discussed in terms of their race. You learned about “states rights” as the cause of the Civil War, but not that slavery was mentioned 80 times in the articles of secession. Privilege is having history rewritten so that you don’t have to acknowledge uncomfortable facts. Racism is perpetuated by people who refuse to learn or acknowledge this reality. You have a choice. - Jim Golden

"Disparate Impact," the legal doctrine that stipulates outcomes between blacks and whites must be the same, was codified into law by the 1991 Civil Rights Act. That doctrine has destroyed the schools and the colleges and the police. It very nearly destroyed financial system when mortgages were awarded on the basis of racial quotas. And, as of this writing, it remains the operating doctrine of every major public American institution. It has not been repealed. It has been mildly rolled back in some domains — the Supreme Court ruling in SFFA, the state DEI rollbacks in Texas and Florida, the Trump administration’s executive orders — but it has not been uprooted. The people who believe in "equity" still staff HR departments, admissions offices, the civil-rights divisions of the federal agencies and the editorial boards of what used to be the newspapers of record. They will not go quietly. They cannot. Their entire professional identity is built on a doctrine that, if honestly examined, would be repudiated as nothing more than racial Marxism. So they will fight — inside the universities, inside the corporations, inside the courts, inside the federal bureaucracy, inside the cities they still run — for every inch of the ground the doctrine has captured. And the fight they will put up is one of the things that makes the coming Fourth Turning particularly dangerous. A Fourth Turning in which the political class is honest about what it has done — as FDR was honest about abandoning the gold standard, as Hamilton was honest about paying the state debts — can be resolved relatively quickly. A Fourth Turning in which the political class refuses to admit what caused the crisis and continues to fight for it is what leads to violence. Like during the Civil War of 1861-1865. And, sadly, I believe it will, once again, lead us into the equivalent of a race-based, low-level civil war. Why? Because there is no reform that fixes this. There is no tax increase that reverses disparate-impact jurisprudence. There is no interest-rate cut that restores public safety to Baltimore. There is no stimulus that teaches an Oregon high-school graduate to read. There is no political candidate who can, within the current legal and regulatory framework, restore the premise that individuals are to be judged as individuals and that the standards by which a society measures achievement are not themselves to be abandoned whenever they produce a disparity. The false doctrine, that individuals are not equal under the law because some people are functionally different than others, is embedded in statute. It is embedded in case law. It is embedded in the professional identity of three generations of administrators. It will not be uprooted by ordinary political means. It will be uprooted, if it is uprooted at all, by the same process that has uprooted every other entrenched false political doctrine in American history — by a Fourth Turning severe enough to make the doctrine’s defenders surrender ground they would never have surrendered in ordinary politics. And thus, you must be ready for what will come next. You cannot, by yourself, fix American public schools. But you can choose your children’s schools. You can homeschool them. You can place them in classical academies or Catholic schools or the small number of charter schools that have kept the older standards. You cannot, by yourself, fix the violence and mayhem in our cities. But you can own productive land. You can own real assets, directly, that will survive what's coming. You cannot, by yourself, fix the police. But you can choose where you live, you can choose whom you associate with, and you can prepare your family to defend itself and to help defend your neighbors. And you cannot, by yourself, fix the disparate-impact doctrine. But you can see it for what it is. You can teach your children to see it. You can refuse to participate in its rituals. You can decline to sign its loyalty oaths. You can, and this is perhaps the most important thing, tell the truth about it in public, in your own voice. How? By using the words it refuses to accept. “Marxism” is one of those words. “Per capita” is another – some groups are prone to violence, prone to ignorance, prone to abandoning their families. Pointing this out isn’t “racist.” It is identifying serious social problems that must be addressed and that cannot fixed by waving the magic wand of "disparate impact" or by an HR rule. "Responsibility” is a third. The entire racist agenda today is based on the idea that people can’t be responsible for their own lives because of racial oppression that ended more than three generations ago. The antidote to these lies is speaking the truth. Use these words. Do not flinch when the doctrine’s defenders accuse you of racism or bigotry. They are not interested in your character. They are interested in your silence. The doctrine has only ever had one real enemy, and it is not a political party or a candidate or a court. Its enemy is the plain speech of a free people. When free people describe what the doctrine has done — when they name it, in the ordinary language of their communities — the doctrine loses its power. Because its power was never in its arguments. Its power was in its capacity to intimidate people out of naming it. So, name it. That is the first political act of a Fourth Turning. Everything else that the country needs to do to get through the next decade — the monetary reset, the fiscal consolidation, the restoration of discipline in the schools, the re-policing of the cities, the rebuilding of standards across the institutions — depends on millions of ordinary Americans recovering the courage to call the thing by its true name. The true name is Marxism. The American form of it is disparate impact. Its consequence, measurable in the statistics of forty years, is the ruin of American institutions. The doctrine can be defeated. It has been defeated once before — in the Soviet Union, which built a more ambitious form of it at greater cost and collapsed under the weight of the contradictions it could not resolve. Ours is smaller and more refined and better camouflaged, but it is the same doctrine, and in the end it will collapse because of the same contradictions. The only question — the only question that matters, now — is whether we can name the doctrine and defeat it at the ballot box and in the courts and in the schools, or whether we will have to suffer a violent collapse of society. However it resolves, you must survive. The rest of this book is dedicated to helping you and your family survive whatever comes next.

This post is for those who care about truth. If you don’t care about truth, keep scrolling. These people aren’t anti-Israel because they see a genocide. They see a genocide because they’re anti-Israel. If you still believe the lies about Israel, there are only two options. 1- You were duped and you don’t know it. 2- You know the truth but refuse to let it get in the way of your Jew hate. The lies about Israel and the Jewish people are getting more absurd by the day. The Jews run the world? Really? Is that why the Jews are on the receiving end of more hate than any other minority? Is that why the media is openly and blatantly obsessed with Israel and its vilification? Is that why literally every top podcaster constantly spreads antisemitic rhetoric? Is that why half of Congress hates Israel? Is that why Jews are being harassed and beaten daily on the streets of Western countries? Because the Jews are just so powerful? (By the way, if 15 million people can control your life, well, what does that say about you?) Israel is committing genocide? Really? Is that why the population of Gaza has shown consistent growth? Is that why Israel drops pamphlets and sends text messages to warn civilians to evacuate a location before Israel attacks? If Israel wanted to commit genocide, Gaza would have been erased on October 8th, 2023. Israel is starving Gaza? Is that why Israel has sent in millions of tons of aid, which is clearly shown in thousands of photos of obese Gazans pretending to be starving? Go look at photos of Jews in the Holocaust or Israeli hostages upon release if you want to know what starvation looks like. Israel is an apartheid state? Really? Is that why there are two million Arabs living freely in Israel and literal anti-Israel Muslims in Israel’s parliament? Is that why Arabs can be found in every part of Israeli society from entertainment to sports to the judicial system to politics. Israel is a colonizer? Really? Is that why Israel is the size of New Jersey in a sea of Arab and Muslim countries? Is that why Israel has given land including Gaza and offered much more land for peace, a gesture that was always rejected? Because it wants to expand? Israel wants to annihilate its enemies and does not want peace? Really? Is that why Israel accepted The Partition Plan, which gave the Arabs a state alongside Israel from day one, a plan that was rejected outright by the Arabs? Is that why Israel evacuated 10,000 of its civilians and gave Gaza to the Arabs, which they then used to create a terror base run by Hamas? Israel kills Arabs indiscriminately? Really? Is that why people claim Israel dropped 200,000 tons of explosives on Gaza, which, according to them, killed 70,000 people? How do 200,000 tons of bombs not kill millions? How do they not erase Gaza? Unless those are precision bombs meant to minimize civilian death? Israel is an ethno-state and Zionism is racism? Really? Is that true about the 57 Muslim states too? How about the Christian countries? Also racist or only the Jewish state that was established after the Jews were butchered by the millions? America should stop sending aid to Israel? American taxpayers don’t need to pay so much money to Israel? Really? US aid to Israel, $3.8 billion, accounts for 0.054% of America’s federal budget, $7 trillion. And 86% of US aid to Israel has to be spent in America. Now go research how much Israel gives America for that microscopic and insignificant percentage of its foreign aid or read what the US ambassador has to say about this topic. I’ll save you the effort. He says the US is on the receiving end of the US/Israel relationship. Israel is lying about 10/7? Really? Is Hamas also lying about it? Are thousands of Gazans also lying about it? Because they proudly declare that it was their best day and that they’d do it over and over. Israel is killing Christians? Really? Can you name one? A single name of a Christian targeted by Israel? One? “Settlers” in Judea and Samaria (aka the West Bank) are terrorists and are no different than radical Islamists? Really? Please give me a list of 20 names of jewish terrorists and their victims? While you’re at it, find me a single Israeli official who condones violence against Arabs in Judea and Samaria. I’ll wait. There is no such thing as Jewish terror. Sure, there are some teenagers who commit crimes and are condemned by literally every Israeli. Comparing that to hundreds of millions of Islamists who commit terror and are barely condemned by any Muslims is just dishonest. Here’s the real truth. Every single accusation against Israel is an admission of guilt. Literally, take any one of the above allegations and you’ll see how the one guilty of it is Israel’s enemies. Genocide? 10/7 was (attempted) genocide. Apartheid? Jews aren’t allowed to go into any Arab town or city without being lynched. That’s apartheid. Starvation? That’s what Gazans did to Israeli hostages. The pictures are available if you’re interested. Colonialism? Go look at a map of the Middle East and you’ll see who the real colonialists are. See below. It’s not that complicated. Ethnic cleansing? Go look at how many Jews lived in Muslim countries and how many live there now. That’s ethnic cleansing. Literally, take any accusation against Israel and you’ll see that it’s an admission of guilt. The truth is there has never been a more moral army than the IDF and a more legitimate state than the state of Israel. You’re welcome to disagree but then you’d be wrong. Go ahead, try to disprove anything I said. Or give me any other accusation against Israel and/or the Jews and I’ll debunk it in less than 10 seconds. If you want to know the real truth about Israel and the Jewish people, it’s pretty simple. Take what the media says about Israel and the exact opposite is the truth. You’re welcome. Questions?

American Journalist SHATTERS the Biggest Myth About Islam Islam is not merely a personal faith, but a comprehensive political and legal system that explicitly rejects core principles of Western liberal democracy. While Western audiences are repeatedly told “Islam is a religion of peace,” classical Islamic law includes punishments for apostasy, blasphemy, homosexuality, and adultery—punishments that remain enforced in multiple Muslim-majority countries today. These are not extremist distortions. They are mainstream interpretations upheld by state-backed religious authorities in places like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, and Qatar. The media’s refusal to acknowledge this reality has allowed a false narrative to flourish—one that equates any examination of Islamic doctrine with racism, despite Islam being an ideology followed by people of many races. The term Islamophobia has become a rhetorical weapon, not a descriptor. Its purpose is to shut down debate about Islamic ideas. No other belief system enjoys this level of insulation. Christianity, capitalism, socialism, feminism, and even atheism are all subject to harsh criticism in mainstream media. Islam, however, is treated as uniquely fragile—so fragile that facts themselves are labeled “hate.” This double standard has serious consequences. When journalists self-censor, the public is deprived of informed discussion. When politicians refuse to acknowledge doctrinal realities, policy failures follow—particularly on issues of integration, free speech, and women’s rights. Women’s Rights: The Uncomfortable Reality One of the most striking points raised was the status of women under traditional Islamic law. In many Islamic legal systems, a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man. Inheritance laws favor male relatives. A husband may divorce his wife unilaterally, while women face significant legal hurdles. Again, these are not fringe interpretations. They are codified law in numerous countries and justified explicitly through religious texts. Western activists often blame “culture” or “colonialism” for these practices, but Islamic jurisprudence itself is the source. Pretending otherwise does not help Muslim women—it silences them. Criticism Is Not Hatred Criticizing Islam is not the same as attacking Muslims.

DEI is dead and corporations are desperately trying to unpick the millions of dollars they spaffed up the wall on it. A recent video of a dysgenic bog monster emptying a litter bin all over the pavement in New York so that she could steal the bin (hey, who wouldn't want a public waste bin in their living room?) went viral when it was revealed that the woman doing this was a senior DEI executive at JP Morgan Chase. Ironically DEI training often laments the fact that the oppressive, systemically racist white establishment places black people in the areas that have high amounts of litter. This woman's actions suggest another explanation; it's not the geographic location that's creating the litter around the black people's feet. She was immediately fired by the bank, and no wonder. During the crazy BLM years, corporations almost completely excluded white people from hiring. Bloomberg reports that the S&P 500 added over 300,000 jobs and 94% of them went to people of colour. This suggests they weren't hiring based on meritocracy. Temporarily ticking a box on a DEI form has left them lumbered with legions of poor-performing, entitled employees. And all the DEI executives, such as this woman, do nothing useful for a business. They actively harm it by getting in the way, meddling, and forcing a business to make decisions based on communist ideology rather than what's profitable. No wonder JP Morgan jumped at the opportunity to fire her.

We are expecting yet another hit piece in the establishment media today against Restore Britain. This time because of the following comparison included on a Restore Britain Makerfield leaflet. ‘I agree with ‘Reform UK Deputy Leader’ Richard Tice that Britain becoming minority White British by 2063 is not a problem because he will be “long gone”.’ vs ‘I agree with Restore Britain that demographic change and mass immigration must be reversed before Britain is changed forever.’ Restore Britain is right. The country is on track to become minority White British, and clearly that is a stark demonstration of how mass immigration from the third world has transformed our country forever. Do we want our grandchildren to grow up in a country that is overwhelmingly Pakistani Muslim or Afghan? No - obviously not. To hold these concerns is in no way racist, as we’re being accused of. Again. This is just demographic reality - particularly with the growth of Islam, and the associated birth rates. The Muslim population is growing at a rapid pace that will, at some stage, become the majority. It’s a fact. And sadly, as we have seen elsewhere, the Muslim population does not need to become the majority before every demand is met. I understand no other politician wants to touch any of this, particularly in Reform, but unless we find the courage to do so - it is an inevitability. Restore Britain’s programme of mass deportations will reverse the demographic change. Through deporting all illegal migrants, and those foreign nationals who hate our way of life, cannot speak English, refuse to work, claim benefits, live in social housing and commit crime. That is Restore Britain’s position - as I have said repeatedly from day one. We are working on an overall estimate for that number, but it will be many millions. To the journalist who is trying to shame us - there is my response. I make no apologies for it. I stand by every Restore Britain position on that leaflet. Publish away.

Leftist mainstream media outlets piled on this week to express outrage at my observation, during a speech in Grand Rapids for Mike Rogers, about the troubling dearth of scientific output from the world’s 22 Arab nations over the past five decades. These reporters — @fatimathefatima @AP, @Kanishka183 @Reuters, @rachel_roubein @washingtonpost, @baylisswagner @nytimes, @stevebenen @MSNOWNews — omitted critical context, presumably to bestow plausibility on their accusations that my statements were racist and Islamophobic. However, my speech was not a critique of Arabs or Islam, but of Islamism (also known as “Islamofascism” or “Political Islam”), a toxic ideology conceived and promoted by the terrorist group, the Muslim Brotherhood. Let’s see which reporters take the time to read this post and then correct their stories. Criticizing Islamism is neither Islamophobic nor racist. Islamism is a violent corruption of mainstream Islam that summons adherents back to the seventh-century ideal of bloody jihad, the homicidal and suicidal religious zealotry that propelled a motley cadre of desert nomads to conquer half the world. Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar — the Muslim equivalent of the Vatican and the highest authority in Sunni Islamic thought — has rejected Islamism as “false Islam” and a “perversion of the Islamic religion” and accused it of “barbaric crimes.” Islamism is intensely anti-American, anti-Western, and hostile to modernity. It is explicitly contemptuous of democracy, constitutional government, capitalism, minority rights, gay rights, women’s rights, free speech, and virtually all personal freedoms. Its central aspiration is for a global caliphate ruled by a single theocratic despot with absolute power to impose sharia law that dictates every aspect of human conduct. The Muslim Brotherhood’s founder, Hassan al-Banna, taught that the highest aspiration for a Muslim was martyrdom in the achievement of that goal; the purpose of every Islamic nation is to “perfect the industry of death” until world domination is accomplished. I pointed out in my speech that the Muslim Brotherhood’s antipathy for modernity is a dramatic departure from Islam’s historical affinity for science and learning. During the Muslim Golden Age, spanning the eighth through the fifteenth centuries, Muslim leaders dignified Islam’s wealth and power by promoting a brilliant flowering of innovation and scholarship in science, mathematics, philosophy, art, literature, astronomy, pharmacology, psychology, engineering, architecture, medicine, and navigation that continues to enrich the world today. Arab leaders fostered an intellectual ferment unmatched by any other in human history. A long line of enlightened caliphs assembled—and abundantly rewarded—an unparalleled galaxy of jurists, scientists, physicians, philosophers, musicians, artists, poets, and wits. Muslim rulers elevated the role of reason and tolerance, cultivating a milieu of religious and intellectual freedom—where Jews and Christians also flourished—and encouraged sages of various faiths and ethnicities to collaborate and freely exchange ideas. For five centuries, Arabic was the world’s most learned and literary tongue and the lingua franca of science and scholarship. Most mosques had libraries (Córdoba hosted 600!). Muslim princes in the tenth century often had more books in their personal collections than existed in all of Europe. Baghdad had 100 bookstores in AD 891. England would have to wait another 420 years until 1309 to see paper for the first time. Islam’s second Golden Age during the Ottoman Empire (1299–1922) birthed a cosmopolitan and pluralistic civilization centered in Constantinople that yielded additional bonanzas in poetry, music, art, and a tsunami of scientific innovation from coffee to water pumps, steam engines, gears, surgical scalpels and clamps, the first smallpox vaccine, and the cannons that allowed the Ottomans to dominate Europe to the gates of Vienna. In 1928, six years after the Ottoman Empire collapsed, the Muslim Brotherhood began to spread its dark strain of violent fundamentalism from Egypt to Palestine and across the Muslim world. Islamism’s contagious proliferation ended the dialogue between Islam and the intellectual classes and demoted the role of reason in Islamic life. The Muslim Brotherhood’s principal philosopher, Sayyid Qutb, was contemptuous toward public education in science, math, and philosophy, believing that the only source of truth is the Koran. For Qutb, the purpose of education was not to celebrate life, or to nourish the intellect, but to indoctrinate children in the art of war, the glorification of death, and a blind obedience to an autocratic caliph. Qutb railed against reason, which he considered the seed of apostasy. He sought to silence the humanities and viewed science as a sinister displacement of religion. He derided pluralism, rationalism, innovation, and tolerance. In doing so, he deprived Islam of its modern potential and its own greatest inheritance: the confidence to learn from the world, preserve its wisdom, and surpass it. In his obituary for Muslim culture, The Closing of the Muslim Mind (2010), Robert R. Reilly recognizes that Qutb’s outlook dooms his followers to inertia. A religion that values obedience over initiative, that seeks to obviate independent reason, is a religion of violence. Where there is no framework for rational mediation, all disputes must be settled by force. It didn’t worry Qutb that discouraging education in physics, mathematics, medicine, or engineering would atrophy intellectual and economic development in the Muslim world. Qutb explained that Muslim countries were so far behind the West in the sciences and technology that there was no hope to catch up. Muslims, he preached, should do what they do best—study the Koran and embrace martyrdom as the path for achieving global dominion: “The Muslim community today is neither capable of nor required to present before mankind great genius in material inventions, which would make the world bow its head before its supremacy.” Qutb’s diatribe against Muslims competing in science and technology was nothing less than civilizational malpractice—especially given that he wrote it in 1964. Had Japan, Singapore, or South Korea accepted Qutb’s logic in 1964, they would have opted out of modernity. Instead, they chose to accept the challenge of competition. Their decision to engage has yielded stunning achievements that transformed their nations into economic and technological superpowers and enriched all of humanity. The anti-intellectualism of Islamism—the rejection of evidence and the scientific method, the hostility toward objectivity, the suppression of contrary information, the deification of dogma, the embrace of pseudoscience, the contempt for reason as the path for discerning objective truth, and Islamism’s association of science with immorality—has helped close off the Islamic mind. The staggering metrics of intellectual and scholastic enfeeblement in Muslim nations attest to Islamism’s systematic squandering of human capital including the creative potential among the world’s two billion Muslims. Korea issued 260,000 patents in 2024, while nine Arab countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, issued fewer than 10,000 in total, with 8,000 of these coming from a single nation—Saudi Arabia—which has made herculean efforts in recent years to de-Islamize its society. Japan, which represents about 1.5% of the world’s population and is practically devoid of natural resources, granted 306,855 patents in 2024 alone. There are 127 million Japanese, compared to 500 million Arabs. According to Hillel Ofek’s 2011 analysis, there were a mere nine scientists, engineers, and technicians per thousand citizens in Islamic nations. The global average was forty-one. Among the 1,800 universities in Muslim nations, only 312 housed scholars who had published articles in journals. Muslims represent 26% of the world’s population, and Muslim countries control half the world’s crude oil resources and 40% of natural gas resources. And yet the 53 Muslim countries combined publish only 5% of the world’s scientific literature. Hillel Ofek points to a 1989 study showing that in a single year, the United States published 10,481 frequently cited scientific papers, but during that same year, Arab countries published just four. A 2002 analysis of Arab science in Nature magazine identified only three scientific areas of excellence from Islamic countries: desalination, falconry, and camel reproduction. According to Nobel laureate physicist Steven Weinberg in 2011, “for forty years I have not seen a single paper by a physicist or astronomer working in a Muslim country that was worth reading.” Contrast the Arabs’ dismal record of intellectual achievement in modern times with that of their closest cousins, the Jews, nearly all of whom live in democratic societies with laws that separate religion and politics. Keep in mind that Jews, who number 15.8 million worldwide, represent a mere 0.2% of the world population. As of 2025, no Muslim has ever received the Nobel Prize in medicine or economics, and only four Muslim scientists—all living in Western democracies—have received the Nobel Prize in chemistry or physics. In contrast, some 200 Jews have received Nobel Prizes in science. About 26% of Nobel Prizes in math and science, 28% in medicine, 40% in economics, and 39% in chemistry have gone to Jews. Since 1901, some 22% of Nobel Prizes in all categories have gone to Jews. Genocidal hatred against ALL Jews and Christians and other minorities is foundational to Islamism. Only in the West does Jew hatred pretend to require the alibi of Palestine or hide behind anti-Zionism. Muslim Brotherhood cosmology describes the universe as a cosmic, existential war between Islam and Jews that began with Muhammad and which only one side can survive. “Since Islam subdued them [in Medina],” Qutb warned, “they are unforgiving and fight furiously through conspiracies, intrigues, and also through proxies [the United States] who act in the darkness against all what Islam incorporates.” Islamist utopia will only emerge when every Jew is exterminated. Jews in Qutb’s theology are not just political adversaries, but perpetual and metaphysical evil. “The Jews,” he said, “are behind materialism, animal sexuality, the destruction of family, and the desolation of society.” And Jewish genocide, for Islamism, is more than a theoretical aspiration. In 1948, the world’s 22 Arab nations were host to 750,000 Jews living in communities that predated Muhammad by 1,000 years. Today, there are virtually no Jews in those nations: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Algeria, Yemen, Mauritania, Somalia, Sudan, Jordan, Gaza, or the PA-governed areas of the West Bank; in Nazi terminology, they are Judenrein: Jew-free. There are fewer than 1,000 Jews in Tunisia, down from 105,000. In 1948, Christian populations represented 20% of those nations; today they represent 4%. These are the real ongoing genocides of the Mideast. Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime bonded with early Islamists over their shared Jew hatred. The Nazis became the principal funder of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1930s, and the Muslim Brotherhood operated propaganda, espionage, and sabotage operations for the Nazis during World War II. Joseph Goebbels and an army of Nazi and ex-Nazi propagandists built the Muslim Brotherhood’s powerful propaganda machine in the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s. The massive influx of money from Iran and the Gulf States starting in the 1990s turned this operation into an amplifier of unmatched power that makes Goebbels look like a piker. A global propaganda barrage by this outfit has distracted Hamas’s Western dupes from Islamism’s authentic genocides by persuading them that Israel committed a genocide in Gaza, even though, according to the CIA Factbook, Gaza’s population has actually increased since October 7, 2023. Islamism is genocidal against Christians and Jews, but among its most pitiful victims are the Arab societies that suffer the misfortune of living under its rule. Despite all their petroleum wealth, Muslim countries have slipped behind Asia and Latin America in virtually every metric of political freedom, technological progress, and social well-being. Islamism’s merger of politics and religion has robbed Islam of its intellectual vigor and doomed most Muslim populations to living in stifling tyrannies with little freedom to elucidate their thoughts and speech or fulfill their creative potential. Those countries are predictably stagnant, unable to evolve in the modern world. The dark shadow of fundamentalism over scholarship and progress has proven toxic to the Muslims’ transition to modernity. The very civilization that practiced tolerance and celebrated pluralism and dialogue, filled a thousand libraries with its books, gave the world observatories and universities, and stunning innovations in science, has become closed, aggrieved, and violent, and averse to reason, curiosity, freedom of inquiry, and scholarship. All 22 Arab nations in the Mideast and North Africa are autocratic dictatorships. Almost all are apartheid states that legally restrict the rights of minorities. Gays in many of the nations are put to death. Under sharia law, women have little more rights than cattle. They live stunted lives behind veiled faces, enduring systematic servitude, legalized domestic violence, child marriage, chattel slavery, and public stoning for adultery, which is legal for their husbands. In September 2021, the Taliban made it illegal for girls to attend school after age 12. The Taliban’s Vice and Virtue law forbids women from speaking aloud in public. If you want to understand the Muslim Brotherhood’s vision for society, look no further than Gaza. Hamas, which rules Gaza, is the Palestine branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Palestinians have received over 4X per capita in international aid than Europeans received under the Marshall Plan. (See Clawson 2002.) Europe used its money to rebuild 17 nations. Palestinians couldn’t build themselves even one. Under Hamas’s iron fist, Gaza squandered its share on bombs, weapons, extravagant salaries for its billionaire kingpins, and a billion-dollar bunker and tunnel system built for its warriors—but off-limits to its citizens. Gaza remains a stunted and stagnant, impoverished society under tyrannical oppression, with no free speech or other basic freedoms. Hamas governs through force, including brutal crackdowns on discourse, public executions of dissenters and collaborators, tight controls on humanitarian aid distribution, and onerous taxes on almost every activity. No elections have occurred since Hamas took over in 2007. Instead of building a nation, Hamas has transformed Gaza into a death cult wallowing in victimhood, nursing aggrievements, addicted to violence, resentments, and yearning for a seventh-century miasma. Hamas nurses Palestinian infants from birth on genocidal hatred of ALL Jews—not just Zionists—and indoctrinates children in the savagery and unspeakable barbarism that the world witnessed on October 7. Hamas shows its contempt for the Palestinian people by deploying them as child soldiers and civilian shields, and placing rocket launchers and ammo dumps in schools and hospitals. Hamas’s greatest strengths are its propaganda operation and its willingness to impose unlimited pain on its own population to achieve its ideological goals. Islamist governments like Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah distract their populations from their misery by blaming the myriad social ills and the predictable government failures on scapegoats: Jews, Zionists, and America. They’ll have us believe that all their derelictions are the result of the evil Zionists, the “Little Satan” Israel, and the “Great Satan,” the U.S. And just as victimhood is paralyzing to personal growth, it deprives Islamist nations of national success by robbing its practitioners of agency. Islamism’s cult of victimhood and its coterminous abolition of self-criticism have stagnated global Islam and locked it in hatred, violence, brooding resentment, and isolationism. Referring to the Arab world, Fouad Ajami described this as “a political tradition of belligerent self-pity.” Contrast Gaza’s failures with the successes of its closest neighbor, Israel, a tiny sliver of swamp and desert 1/600th the size of its Arab neighbors, that blossomed into an agricultural juggernaut and a global economic and technological superpower. Jews took one of the few places in the Mideast with no oil, gas, or other resources, and despite being surrounded by enemies, they nevertheless turned the barren landscape into a vibrant, pluralistic democracy where Jews and Arabs vote as they please; worship according to their convictions; serve beside each other in the judiciary, the army, and political leadership; and enjoy equal rights. Women and gays in Israel have all the rights of men, and Israel’s biggest annual celebration is the Pride parade in Tel Aviv. As the only democracy in the Mideast, Israel is a robust and heroic outpost for freedom and Western values. And Israel is merely a nugget among the bounties bestowed by Jews on Western civilization. There is no ethnic or religious group that has contributed more than Jews to the welfare of humanity or to the advancement of liberal democracy. Jewish traditions of ethics and thinking have shaped Western civilization and global progress through foundational moral concepts, including our monotheistic Christian belief system with its roots in Judaism, milestone scientific breakthroughs, medical innovation, and innumerable cultural achievements in art, literature, education, health, and entertainment. Relative to their proportion of the population, the astonishing contributions by Jews have been breathtaking. An abbreviated list would include medical advances like the polio vaccine (Jonas Salk, Albert Sabin), chemotherapy and immunology (Paul Ehrlich), streptomycin and the age of antibiotics (Selman Waksman), penicillin (Ernest Chain), pacemakers (Paul Zoll), and blood typing (Karl Landsteiner). In sciences, a short list of Jewish luminaries would include Albert Einstein (theory of relativity), Niels Bohr (quantum mechanics), and Paul Berg (first recombinant DNA molecule). Jewish contributions to business and technology include Google (Sergey Brin), Meta (Mark Zuckerberg), Oracle (Larry Ellison), Salesforce (Marc Benioff), Intel (Andrew Grove), and Dell Technologies (Michael Dell). Jews virtually created the American entertainment industry, including founding six of the eight major Hollywood studios responsible for 75% of the classic Golden Age movies. They also revolutionized laughter. A 1978 TIME magazine survey found that 80% of professional comedians were Jewish. The major figures of twentieth-century Western thought—Jesus Christ, Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, and Karl Marx—were all Jewish. Twenty percent of philanthropic giving in the United States comes from Jews. Jews compose twenty-five percent of America’s most generous givers. They are overrepresented on lists of secular organizations that benefit human rights, social security, higher education, personal freedom, and constitutional rights. They represent 14% of doctors and 29% of psychiatrists. Their contributions to America’s global economic leadership include Salomon Brothers, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Blackstone, Wells Fargo, and Vanguard. In a rational universe, wouldn’t non-Jews be expected to celebrate these contributions with gratitude? Now, here are some things that Jews don’t do: suicide bombings, rape gangs, beheading people, killing gay people, aspiring to kill all non-Muslims, forcing young girls to wed older men, lynching women for wearing makeup or showing hair, female mutilation, religious dictatorship, Christian genocide, polygamy, rioting and burning down cities, applying the death penalty for leaving Islam, cooking babies in ovens, hijacking airliners (and driving them into buildings), bombing buses and crowded restaurants, disfiguring girls with acid for failing to wear the hijab, operating modern slave markets where hereditary Black slaves are bought and sold by Arabs, advocating global jihad, and committing 90% of the terrorist acts globally. These are the gifts that Islamism has bestowed on the world, along with closed minds, poverty, starvation, ignorance, oppression, and violence. This comparison begs the question, “Why does the world hate Jews and embrace Islamists? The answer, of course, is a sophisticated mass propaganda campaign that ignores evidence and inverts reality to make Israel a global villain. Looking at Islamism’s track record, seven nations with substantial Muslim populations—Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Syria, and Russia—have outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood, branding it as a terrorist organization. Kenya and Argentina have also banned the Brotherhood for fear of its impacts on their societies. The Brotherhood today sees its best opportunities for expansion as Western nations that are unequipped to deal with its tactics. In 2004, the FBI discovered the U.S. Brotherhood’s archives in a Virginia basement, including a 1991 “Explanatory Memorandum” characterizing the Brotherhood’s work in America as “a kind of gradual Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within.” Muslim Brotherhood documents describe this process of gradual infiltration as “gradualism,” “entryism,” or “Da’awa.” In a 1995 speech in Toledo, Ohio, the Brotherhood’s leading cleric, Yusuf al-Waradawi, told his audience: “We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America! Not through sword but through Da’awa.” As a board member and outreach chair of a Muslim Brotherhood front group, Abdul El-Sayed ran a high-school recruitment program entitled “How to do effective Da’awa.” The Muslim Brotherhood’s explicit written strategy for taking over Western nations is to broaden its appeal through a “red–green alliance” by adopting Leftist rhetoric and allying itself with liberals, socialists, and communists. This was the strategy first initiated by Yasser Arafat in the 1960s and then implemented by Muslim Brotherhood acolyte Ayatollah Khomeini during his 1979 Iranian Revolution, and later by Muslim Brother Mohammed Morsi during his 2011 color revolution in Egypt. After they gained power, the Leftists, in each case, learned that they were not actually Islamism’s partners, but only its useful idiots. Khomeini hunted down, jailed, and murdered his former Leftist and communist allies. Morsi sidelined his. A 2012 Arabic-language statement bearing Abdul Al-Sayed’s name backed Morsi’s presidency and urged him to “purge” the media and police. Anyone wondering what America’s future looks like if the Muslim Brotherhood gets its way has only to look at France, where Islamist mobs of the red–green alliance, following the Muslim Brotherhood playbook, chant communist phrases, wave Palestinian flags, and vent their destructive hostility toward the West by destroying the iconic monuments of our shared civilizations. Abdul El-Sayed mocks his critics as Islamophobic or anti-Arab racists when they inquire about his continued loyalties to the Muslim Brotherhood. But El-Sayed and his family have long and deep entanglements with the terrorist organization. A 20,000-word investigation by The Project for the Investigation of Terrorism documents El-Sayed's two decades of intensive affiliations with the Muslim Brotherhood, and nearly every one of its legacy front groups that the Brotherhood set up in the U.S. to Islamify and destroy our democracy. That same organization recorded dozens of instances in recent years where Abdul El-Sayed has either directly lied about his relationship or refused to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. On Oct. 1, an Ohio voter became the latest to ask Al-Sayed to disavow the Brotherhood. Under persistent badgering before national news cameras, Al-Sayed finally caved: “Sure. Yeah, absolutely!” he said unconvincingly. He then spent five minutes attacking the man’s motives. El-Sayed said nothing about the Brotherhood itself, its ideology, or the Muslim Brotherhood front organizations he works with. A disavowal that names nothing and condemns nothing is a disavowal in name only. Why can’t El-Sayed give us a full-throated and detailed condemnation of this terror group, and disavow also its poisonous ideology without ambiguity? Why can’t he acknowledge that the Muslim Brotherhood is a despicable terror organization, and that Islamism and sharia law are anathema to American values? Americans shouldn’t have to worry whether a U.S. Senate candidate has loyalty to an ideology that openly hates our country and has vowed to destroy it.
