The Divided City

"There's no place else on Earth" my friend said, where

you can travel so far in 100 yards."

 

I had walked the three blocks from my hotel to stare

once again across the familiar strip of no man's land

that divides the city of Jerusalem. 

 

"Here on the Jordanian side," my friend went on,

"things are pretty much where they were when the

Crusaders left.  There are new buildings, of course...

but if you were to drop one of Godfrey de Bouillon's

knights outside St. Stephen's Gate, I'm sure he could

still find his way to the Holy Sepulcher."

 

"But over here..."

 

Patriarch boasts 75 Descendants

 

One of my last days in Arab Jerusalem I went to see

an old, old man who lives in the Village of At Tur,

on the Mount of Olives.  His name is Mohamed Khalil

Abul Hawa, and his birth certificate, issued during

Turkish times, proclaims him to be 134 years old.

The Caliphate Myth

 

Tom Porteous

 

February 13, 2006

 

Tom Porteous is a freelance writer and analyst who was formerly with the BBC and British Foreign Office. He has lived and worked in the Middle East for many years, and travels frequently to Iran.

 

At a time of growing political tension between the Muslim world and the West, a new bad idea is creeping into the discourse of European and North American political leaders and is being used to justify an intensification of Western political and military intervention in the Muslim world.

 

Donald Rumsfeld wheeled this bad idea out at a conference on global security in Munich last week. George Bush alluded to it in his 2006 State of the Union address in January. Tony Blair and his Home Office minister, Charles Clarke, have both spoken of it in the past six months. Dick Cheney has bandied it about for even longer. The rhetoric of the new German Chancellor Angela Merkel suggests she too has signed up.

 

The new bad idea is this: the “free West,” having defeated German Nazism and Soviet Communism, now faces a new strategic challenge from the ambition of Muslim radicals to re-establish an Islamic caliphate and impose Islamic law on half the world.

 

As the U.S. Defense Secretary put it at last week’s Munich conference, Islamic radicals “seek to take over governments from North Africa to Southeast Asia and to re-establish a caliphate they hope, one day, will include every continent. They have designed and distributed a map where national borders are erased and replaced by a global extremist Islamic empire."

 

Ouch! A map without borders! Is this the new WMD?
