Maisoon Rice: I’m fed up with anti-Islam propaganda!

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE. Maisoon Rice is a British-Palestinian-Pakistani blogger and activist. She recently contacted me to advise me to stop using the word “Islamist,” which she believes has become a pejorative word for (politically-engaged) Muslims. In this interview we discuss and debate issues related to the propaganda war on Islam. Maisoon also expresses her strong support for traditional family values, and her opposition to various movements that undermine them.  Her take on gender issues resonates in some ways, and clashes in others, with the “ecofeminist” views that Cat McGuire expressed recently on this show. Maisoon sends these links to illustrate her…

Why I am not a secularist

Kevin Barrett

Tuesday’s radio guest, Feroze Mithiborwala, thinks that secularism is the solution to the problems of religious extremism and religious conflict in South Asia, and around the world. I disagree. I think religious extremism and religious conflict are being created/exacerbated by the New World Order as part of its war on traditional religion. It’s the same old “problem-reaction-solution” method they always use. Religious extremism and violence is the problem; the public reacts against it; then they offer a secularist New World Order dictatorship, run by closet Satanists, as the solution.Below is my response to a pro-secularism message from Feroze.-KB Hi Feroze,…

Professor Lawrence Davidson on know-nothings, Don Meserlian on “Muslims didn’t do 9/11”

Kevin Barrett

Mon. 8/20/12, 3-5 pm Central, American Freedom Radio (archived here.) Post your questions to  my Facebook page. First hour: Lawrence Davidson argues that Mitt Romney is a contemporary avatar of the “know-nothings,” 19th century Americans whose hallmarks were ignorance, prejudice, and fear of what they didn’t understand (which was just about everything). We’ll also discuss Professor Davidson’s book Islamic Fundamentalism, which overall presents a reasonably balanced portrayal of some Islamist movements. Are some of the most “radical” wahhabi and takfiri groups really just a bunch of Muslim know-nothings endlessly manipulated by the Empire? Are there Islamic political activists out there…

Eric Walberg on Arab Spring & Muslim Brotherhood summer

Kevin Barrett

Tuesday, June 26th, 11 a.m. to noon Central (9-10 Pacific) on NoLiesRadio.org (archived here a few hours after broadcast). Guest: Canadian journalist Eric Walberg, author of Postmodern Imperialism. Eric has been living in Cairo for the past several years, writing for al-Ahram among other outlets, and got to witness the Egyptian revolution first-hand.       Now that the once-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood has swept both the parliamentary and presidential elections, and the remnants of the Mubarak junta have responded by dissolving parliament, will Egypt return to dictatorship or blossom into an Islamic democracy? And what does “Islamic governance” mean, anyway?        Eric Walberg’s…

James Petras: The empire is USING “moderate Islam”

Kevin Barrett

Tuesday, December 20th, 11 a.m. to noon Central (9-10 Pacific) on NoLiesRadio.org (archived here a few hours after broadcast). Guest: Leading leftist sociologist and political analyst James Petras, who says the Empire is USING “moderate Islam.” He writes: “Moderate” Islamists have become the Empire’s ‘contraceptive of choice’ against any chance the massive Arab peoples’ revolt might give birth to substantive egalitarian social changes and bring those brutal pro- western officials, responsible for so many crimes against humanity, to justice. The West and their client officials in the military and police have agreed to a kind of “power-sharing’ with the moderate/respectable…

Egypt needs democracy, not another torturer-in-chief

Kevin Barrett

The Zionist-occupied USA has been pushing for the replacement of Hosni Mubarak with an even worse torturer: “Intelligence chief” (meaning torturer-in-chief) Omar Suleiman. This is the man who has been personally directing the torture of those suspected of being ethical and moral individuals – i.e. “Islamists” – in Egypt’s nightmare dungeons. Stephen Soldz writes in “The Torture Career of Egypt’s New Vice-President“: Suleiman wasn’t just the go-to bureaucrat for when the Americans wanted to arrange a little torture. This “urbane and sophisticated man” apparently enjoyed a little rough stuff himself.Shortly after 9/11, Australian citizen Mamdouh Habib was captured by Pakistani…

The Islamic Revolution Continues in Egypt

Kevin Barrett

I get bombarded with Islamophobic emails on a regular basis. Most of the culprits, believe it or not, are sympathetic to the cause of truth – yet at an unconscious level they have been programmed by the 9/11 public relations stunt and other Zionist media propaganda to fear and loathe Islam.  So let me briefly explain to these folks, and other non-Islam-friendly readers and listeners, why I think Egypt, Tunisia, and many other Muslim-majority countries desperately need Islamic revolutions. These nations’ societies have been based on Islam – which is a 24/7/365 way of life, not a one-day-a-week gig –…
