"Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and…
I continue to maintain that Daily Kos is the premier progressive website on the Internet and is thus representative of progressive-left thinking, more generally. That’s why it pisses me off. As someone who comes out of the Progressive Movement I am horrified to see that anti-Zionism and Israel hatred (with its shrouded anti-Semitism) is a [...]
It’s bad enough when Paul Krugman – an economist by profession - spouts his discredited spend, borrow and tax brand of economics. But now he has ventured into the political realm with his New York Times op-ed column yesterday entitled “It’s Witch-Hunt Season.” Krugman ominously predicts “ugliness and paralysis” if the Republicans take control of Congress, [...]
As Charles Krauthammer recently observed with trademark sagacity, Progressivism under siege is an ugly sight indeed. Ah, the people, the little people, the small-town people, the “bitter” people, as Barack Obama in an unguarded moment once memorably called them, clinging “to guns or religion or” — this part is less remembered — “antipathy toward people [...]
A month after the Hamas-linked Islamic supremacist hate group CAIR tried to intimidate the FBI into apologizing for inviting me to speak in Virginia some time ago, Politico noticed the story and asked the FBI about it. The FBI, which is on to CAIR, wouldn’t throw the wolves any red…

This is a political statement as much as a religious one, since Islam has and always has had a political character. Another take on this story. "Europe should convert to Islam: Gaddafi," from AFP, August 31: ROME: Libyan leader Moamer Gaddafi’s visit to Rome to mark the second anniversary of…
What is “Islamophobia”? If recent usage of the term is any indication of its definition, “Islamophobia” means something similar to the popular usage of “fascist” or “racist”—that is to say, it has no meaning. I’d like to quote just some recent examples from vaunted media sources. Mind you, these constitute a very small sampling of [...]
Authorities believe this to be a test, a probe of security. Two questions: For whom were these two performing a "dry run?" If and when an attack were to go through at a new site, will we have to suffer through getting a mosque built on that, too? Just asking….
