Getting Noticed Across the Pond

Every now and then when I think that no one is listening, evidence arrives that I'm being heard. A few weeks ago, I had a piece published by The American Thinker, entitled, Radical Islamists and Western Governments, about the collusion between Tony Blair's government (America's supposed partner in the Global War on Terrorism) and the Islamist Muslim Council of Britian, and the presence of known Islamists in Blair's Foreign Office, the equivalent of our Department of State. I received suprisingly little feedback, which is unusual for an article of this sort. At least I usually get some hate mail of the "Die Zionist Pig" variety. That's the standard indicator. The absence of any feedback at all led me to believe that it got lost in the wash or ignored altogether.

Lo and behold, a week ago my American Thinker article was positively mentioned in an opinion piece in the left-leaning British Guardian/Observer. It isn't every day that you get international media attention, even if it was offered with a bit of a political jab at conservatives such as myself. But hey, you take what you can when it's offered.

UPDATE #1: Oi vey! I entirely forgot to mention earlier that my FrontPage Magazine article, The Muslim Brotherhood "Project", was recently reprinted by the Paris-based Institut pour la Défense de la Démocratie.

I have some additional articles coming out hopefully this week. Stay tuned for updates!
