The American author Ethel Watts Mumford is quoted as saying, “God gives us our relatives. Thank God we can choose our friends.” I suppose the same can be said about presidents. We have the good fortune to be able to democratically elect our leaders and get rid of them if need be. It can be […]

The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk – Hegel Elections took place in the Netherlands’ 12 provinces last month, where the voters were called to reelect the provincial councils, responsible for daily administration of the provinces.

Retour Des Djihadistes – Risque d’Attentats Sur l’A1 En Direction Du Nord
Alors qu’il m’a fallu presque un demi-siècle pour trouver la femme de mes rêves, à peine 240 heures auront suffi pour que ce combattant djihadiste tombe amoureux d’une lycéenne londonienne déguisée en nirvana bouddhiste version arabe, en plein désert. Jago Riedijk, né aux Pays-Bas, a mis dix jours pour épouser l’adolescente britannique Shamima Begum. Il savait […]

Jihadist Fighters Jago Riedijk And Shamima Begum – “Come Back Home, All Is Forgiven!”
Whereas it took me the best part of half a century to find the love of my life, this particular Jihadist fighter needed just 240 hours to fall in love, in the middle of a desert, with an underage schoolgirl from Bethnal Green, disguised as representing an Arabian version of the Buddhist nirvana. Ten days […]
Running After The Hijab – Why Decathlon And The Washington Post Got It Wrong
For some it is hard to believe that France, of all countries, is having yet another heated debate concerning a dress code. The country that is renowned for its mode and haute-couture, is getting all worked up about a piece of cloth covering a woman’s hair – yet again, again. After having nearly drowned under […]
Returning Jihadists Should Be Tried For Crimes Against Humanity
Shamima Begum deserves, like all Jihadists, not a criminal court hidden somewhere in the centre of London, but one that reflects the universality of the crimes she supports. Europe faces a problem not only with migrants from worn-torn Islamic countries, but with returning Jihadists who, technically at least, are still European citizens. It’s an […]
Charlie’s Angel – Zineb El Rhazoui And The Fight Against Fundamentalist Islam
Zineb El Rhazoui’s views on the problems that we face, concerning the effects of religion on society, are very close to my own. Namely, it is the interpretation and application of written texts and superstitions as a political doctrine that cause problems. For the former journalist at Charlie Hebdo, even a recipe book can […]
It’s So Moronic, It’s Gotta Be A Joke!!
The latest cartoon to be published by Charlie Hebdo follows the arrest of Peter Cherif, who is suspected of being behind the attack on the journal, in January 2015. The cartoon is one of the best Christmas presents that you could wish for. For all those who value freedom of speech and the right to […]
C’est Tellement Con, Que Ça Fait Rire!!
La une de Charlie Hebdo, du 26 décembre dernier, faisant suite à la mise en garde-à-vue de Peter Cherif, est le plus beau cadeau de Noël que l’on puisse souhaiter. Pour tous-ceux et toutes-celles qui cultivent de façon ardue un sens d’humour et une dérision de la vie que l’on pourrait qualifier de limite, le […]

Jafar Panahi: “3 Faces” – The Sounding Of Iranian Traditional Values
Banned Iranian film producer, Jafar Panahi, has managed to cast criticism on traditional Iranian values, without actually doing so. What he did was extremely clever and comprised a particular way of filming, by which we ended up literally accompanying him, and actress Behnaz Jafari, on an outing deep into the Iranian mountains. Deceptively simple, the […]
