And what can be done instead?While this failure is a consistent pattern stretching back decades, there is virtually no public discuss...

It is taken for granted, even among many Washington policymakers, that Islam is a fundamentally peaceful religion and that Islamic jihad terrorism is something relatively new, a product of the economic and political ferment of the twentieth century. But in The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, Islamic scholar Robert Spencer proves definitively that Islamic terror is as old as Islam itself, as old as Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, who said “I have been made victorious throu...

Is there any sound historical evidence that the prophet of Islam actually existed, or is the entire story of Muhammad fable or fiction?It is a question that few have thought—or dared—to ask.

Islam fails both individuals and societies, yet non-Muslims keep making excuses for it.As a set of ideas for the ordering of the lives of individuals and societies, Islam has proven to be a singular failure. Aside from the accident of geology that has provided them with oil wealth, Islamic states are generally economic basket cases and serial violators of human rights. All too many converts to Islam end up turning to terrorism.Yet in the face of these truth...

Muhammad: What can we really know about him?We know a great deal about Muhammad—or so it seems. Islamic tradition contains an astonishing wealth of information about the founding figure of the Islamic faith, and most historians take for granted that this material is generally reliable.In his latest book, historian and Islamic scholar Robert Spencer shows that there is no agreement in the earliest Islamic sources about the most fundamental details of this to...

Critical Race Theory in schools, extreme gun control and abortion laws, Covi...

What truly defines a high performance team? For years, leadership experts have used the term loosely, failing to distinguish between teams that perform at a high level and those that must perform at an elite level under intense pressure.The 5 Levels of High Performance Teams challenges the current literature and outdated definitions of high-performance teams by revealing a new classification system that distinguishes high performing teams (HPiTs) from high performance team...
