The Nature of Political Islam

‘It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the capitulation of the West to political Islam is no one’s fault but the West itself.

The free market, freedom of the press, equality for women and respect for minority rights were fundamental tenets of his thinking. But there is good reason why there is an intense historiographical debate concerning Jabotinsky’s views.
