What Would Muhammad Do About “That Video”...Part II

Here, in Part II, you’re getting some insight into the style and substance you find throughout the Hadith collections. Much of it is rather boring, actually, and the amount of material is so massive that I have certainly not read all of it, and don’t intend to. But while Khaled has maintained the...

"What Would Muhammad Do About 'That Video'?"...Part I

The furor in the streets of Islam over ‘The Movie’ has died down, and so has commentary in our media, confined as it was to the observation that is was ‘stupid’ (which it was) and ‘offensive’ (which it was, at least to Muslims). I never saw any comments in our general media that it was also correct,... Sign in to see full entry.

As in Egypt, so in Nigeria…

In my previous post about the rapidly deteriorating situation in Egypt I forgot to mention that Cairo continues to receive $1.5 billion in aid from the U.S., and possibly additional funds from other Western nations, though I haven’t checked… Today, just one item about the equally disturbing and...

And what’s happening in Egypt?

While the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, with Obama’s help, continues its push for making the criticism of Islam a punishable offence; while Obama’s Muslim representative gives speeches about human rights in Warsaw; while all that is going on, in the Middle East, in North Africa and in...

What’s al-Marayati doing in Warsaw?

There’s a two-week conference being held in Warsaw, arranged by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The American delegation, headed by Avis Bohlen, a former ambassador to Bulgaria, also includes three public members. There’s Nida Gelazis of the Woodrow Wilson Centre, Dr....

Freedom of Speech under Assault…

One of the deepest ironies of our time is the demand of the world’s most intolerant ideology to be tolerated and to be placed legally beyond the bounds of critique and criticism. Public criticism of Islam is to be classified as ‘hate speech’ and made punishable! These efforts are part of the OIC... Sign in to see full entry.

Red Line – No Red Line: A VERY Brief Analysis…

So ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu has drawn a Red Line on that round thing on his board representing a bomb, at the UNGA, for all the world to see. And he says he won’t allow Iran to cross that line in its effort to build that bomb. Meanwhile, Obama doesn’t want to draw any red lines, but assures everyone that he... Sign in to see full entry.

More about the Amateur…

I go away for a few days, come back and find I’ve been chided gently by my friends Kabu and Wiley for ‘telling’ Americans how to vote in the coming election, LOL. I sometimes wish I had the power to tell people how to vote – but then I would probably not use that power if I had it, unless I were... Sign in to see full entry.

Every American should read this book…

I have just read Edward Klein’s book ‘The Amateur’, many weeks #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. The author, a professional journalist with impressive credentials (former Foreign Editor of Newsweek, former Editor-in-Chief of the New York Times Magazine, author of several other books) has...

And the Drums are Beating...

Corbin has an interesting comment to my previous post. He writes: It's being reported that we may have caused the attacks and killings.....the two "seal" were actually now with the CIA and they were in the town with the Ambassador to force the "Militants" to give back Ground to Air missiles we gave...
