Islam's Spiritual 'Dear Abby' (DER SPIEGEL)

Qaradawi advocates establishing a "United Muslim Nations" as a contemporary form of the caliphate and the only alternative to the hegemony of the West. He hates Israel and would love to take up arms himself. In one of his sermons, he asked God "to kill the Jewish Zionists, every last one of them."

In January 2009, he said: "Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by [Adolf] Hitler."

Tunisia's lost generation

Tunisia's lost generation
By Spengler

Some years ago, a well-known Middle East analyst briefed a conservative audience at a private seminar in New York City. "A Palestinian state," he said, "might achieve the modest prosperity and political stability of a Tunisia."
