Ever since the the Israel-Hezbollah cease-fire ending last summer's war in Lebanon, the terrorist group, which receives close to $200 million a year in subsidies from Iran, has been rebuilding the military arsenal destroyed by the Israeli army. While attention has been focused on Hezbollah's ongoing efforts to topple the Lebanese government headed by Prime Minister Fuad Siniora, a Sunni Muslim, Hezbollah appears to be laying the groundwork for a new war against Israel by smuggling Iranian-made weapons from Syria and daring the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to do anything about it. In the fall, Hezbollah's leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, warned that any effort to disarm Hezbollah would turn Lebanon into another Iraq or Afghanistan and declared that the United States w...

Syria's five-year diplomatic isolation by the West de facto ended Wednesday as Washington's top career diplomat met with President Bashar Assad in Damascus, a day after President Obama nominated the first U.S. ambassador to the Arab state since 2005. At the same time, the State Department removed an official warning discouraging Americans from traveling to Syria, which was previously deemed unsafe.

In August 2008, when the pirates became especially active off the Horn of Africa, Andrew Mwangura, head of the East African Seafarers' Assistance Program, declared that al-Shabaab, a group of jihadists in Somalia, use piracy to fund their jihad: "According to our information, the money they make from piracy and ransoms goes to support al-Shabaab activities onshore." With ransoms for ships each bringing in at least $10,000 and some in multiple millions of dollars and the pirates seizing ships at a furious rate (taking four in one 48-hour period last summer), piracy is a lucrative source of funding for the jihad.

The media love a martyr. And I don't mean "martyr" in the context of modern-day jihad. I mean the sort from our pre-Islamic consciousness, the long-suffering "victim" of "witch hunts" and moralizing of a singularly "right-wing" and "puritanical" kind. Such martyrdom never dims - and I'm thinking, say, of Alger Hiss, or, on a different level, Bill Clinton. It beams on in perpetuity, alight with liberal pieties projected by a media culture that, in turn, basks in reflected martyrdom. Tariq Ramadan, a Eurabian intellectual with a string of associates linked to terrorism, is becoming just such a media martyr. The Department of State recently turned down his request for a visa - and for a second time. Go State! But over at The New Yorker, George Packer is invoking no less than Thomas Jeffers...

At least the once-Western world is consistent: Like the terrorism that has engraved the blood-drenched anniversaries of September 11, March 11, and July 7 into collective memory, and has transformed Amman, Amsterdam, Baghdad, Bali, Beslan, Davao, Hadera, Haifa, Jakarta, Jerusalem, Nairobi, New Dehli, Sharm al-Sheikh, Tel Aviv and Tunisia into hallowed outposts of mass murder, the rioting that has convulsed France has nothing to do with Islam. At least, that's the agreed-upon narrative. It's our story, the subtext, the thread to which we cling. The problem driving "youths" to incinerate lines of parked buses or immolate the occasional grand-mere on crutches is French racism, institutional neglect, failure to integrate. It's also snobbery, and don't forget George W. Bush. But not Islam. N...

As Israel has withdrawn the last of its troops, the man who plunged Lebanon into war this summer, Hezbollah boss Hassan Nasrallah, has started to flex his muscles again. Sheikh Nasrallah, targeted for assassination by Israel, came out of hiding to address 350,000 people at a Sept. 22 rally in South Beirut, where he declared that the terrorist group possessed 20,000 rockets after the war with Israel. But the main focus of the Hezbollah leader's threats wasn't Israel; for now, his top priorities seem to be putting the Lebanese government in its place and intimidating the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon peacekeepers charged with preventing renewed conflict with Israel. In addition, there are reports that Hezbollah is stockpiling arms in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon (locatio...
