Let's Call This 'Terrorism' By Its Real Name
Rick Santorum in The Philadelphia Inquirer
It's official: We're fighting . . . terrorists. You can also call them violent extremists if you like, but never use jihadist or mujahedeen or Islamo-fascist to describe our enemy. These words are deemed pejorative and offensive, according to a recent Bush administration memorandum to federal employees whose jobs involve explaining our ongoing war to the public... [Read More]
Occasional Commentary: Jihad, Jew-Hatred, and Evangelicals and Jews Together
An instructive and fascinating debate has erupted over what at first glance may seem an academic point. The debate is between Matthias Küntzel, the author of Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11, and Andrew Bostom, the editor of The Legacy of Jihad and author of the forthcoming book The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History. The debate is not over whether contemporary Islamism is vehemently anti-Jewish but over the historical roots of that Jew-hatred. [Read More]

Rick Santorum
Rick Santorum, a Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, established and directs EPPC's Program to Protect America's Freedom. He is writing a book on the "gathering storm" of the 21st century -- the challenges posed by radical Islamic fascism and its growing alliances around the world.
Mr. Santorum served as United States Senator from Pennsylvania from 1995 to 2007 and as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1991 to 1995. As a United States Senator, he was a champion of efforts to counter the threat of radical Islam, to protect victims of religious persecution, and to promote democracy and religious liberty around the world.

THE GATHERING STORM
Politico Article
Reauthorizing AIDS Program is Good Foreign Policy
"Mission: Impossible" - that's what many called the effort to combat HIV/AIDS internationally five years ago. They had good reason. Two-thirds of those infected with HIV were in Africa, and the virus was ravaging a continent that was already a "perfect storm" of health and development woes. I'm proud to have worked on the original President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief legislation. Five years later, I'm happy to report that this ongoing mission proved far from impossible. I'm also happy to report that, in a rare expression of bipartisan unity, the House recently reauthorized PEPFAR. [Read More] Read More
