I’m getting a bit of flack for my last Pajamas Media article where I retold some of my observations from my trip to Israel (thanks to Once in a Lifetime, click the link to see videos from the visit) that makes me more encouraged than ever that peace is possible. The conclusion of my article [...]
Muslim Brotherhood ally Grover Norquist warns the GOP to drop its opposition.
Yes, it does happen—a guy ignorant enough to attack those concerned about Imam Rauf’s ties can still make an intelligent observation once in awhile. Some of you might have noticed that I actually do have a lot of respect for Stewart and Colbert—and it’s because of moments like these. Here’s the top ten times that [...]
In a passionate and beautifully-written monologue, Jon Stewart spoke in support of the Ground Zero mosque last night—and again showed his misunderstanding of why nearly 70 percent of Americans oppose it.

In his words, on 9/11 we failed to connect the [...]
The tense Lebanese-Israel border erupts in a bloody clash — but was it all a smoke screen?
Last night on “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart joined the chorus of those thinking the criticism of the 9/11 mosque project is driven by anti-Muslim bigotry. Like most issues, the 9/11 mosque project is complex, and to reduce it to a single theme is simplistic and deceiving. Stewart took aim at Glenn Beck for saying [...]
