And some people never learn...They’re dunces...

Let me state unequivocally: President Bush did absolutely the right thing when he sent his troops into Afghanistan back in 2001.

A Lesson...

Let me set the scene. We have a man clad in a nightshirt and a keffiyeh, in what appears to be a sunny schoolyard, and he’s surrounded by scores of children. The children appear to be about twelve years old or so, and they’re all boys, as far as I can tell. The man’s back is to us, and he’s... Sign in to see full entry.

Christians under attack...Part III

This is the final part of Raymond Ibrahim’s report for just one month, September, 2013. What is being described here has been going on day after day, month after month, year after year. And remember: Ibrahim, being the careful academic he is, leaves out anything that is not absolutely verifiable.... Sign in to see full entry.

Christians under attack...Part II

Before posting the second part of Raymond Ibrahim’s piece, a few remarks of my own. I want to point out something that you may find hard to stomach – we all, collectively, share a responsibility for what is happening ‘out there’! We have allowed ourselves to be cowed into a state of timid... Sign in to see full entry.

Christians under attack...Part I

While the sectarian violence in Iraq is slowly evolving (or maybe I should say devolving ) into a ‘proper’ civil war à la Syria (see, for example, ‘Execution-style killings surge in Iraq’, S. Capelouto, CNN, Dec 2, 2013), all Muslim sides are stepping up their persecution of Christians as well. But... Sign in to see full entry.

Our Christians might be particularly interested in this...

As I have told you before, according to Muslim doctrine Jesus (Isa) was not God’s Son and was neither crucified nor resurrected, but resides in Heaven with the other prophets, where Muhammad of course is the top man, right after God himself. That Jesus is up there we have on good authority, since... Sign in to see full entry.
