If Islam is such a “religion of peace,” why do they have to keep reminding us? Nobody’s running around saying “Christianity is a religion of peace” or “Judaism is a religion of peace” – because neither proposition is in doubt.

“The dream of opportunity for all people has not come true for everyone in America, but its promise exists for all who come to our shores. And that includes nearly 7 million American Muslims in our country today who, by the way, enjoy incomes and educational levels that are higher than the American average.”

The belief that supporting the Iranian people would exacerbate the problem makes no sense. Who would it make hate us? The regime?

Can you imagine such member states as Saudi Arabia or the raft of dictatorships that are members of the UN preaching “basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled?”

He said it is Allah who is the creator of the universe and Allah has another world of immense bounty and pleasure. He promised the savages that by embracing Allah, banding together and carrying out his commands they assure themselves of great worldly spoils as well as eternal admission to a glorious paradise.

The Olive Dream can only be described as a blatant attempt to distort history and incite anti-Semitism – so why is State Department criticism only voiced privately?

President Obama remains adamant about his policy of “engagement” with Iran. Yet he may soon find it hard to find a credible interlocutor in Tehran.

The personality and nature of Akbar has been nicely summed up by the Editor of Father Monserrate’s Commentarius. The editor’s introduction states, “In the long line of Indian sovereigns, the towering personalities of Ashoka and Akbar (because of his dread) stand high above the rest… Akbar’s greed for conquest and glory and his lack of sincerity form a marked contrast to Ashoka’s paternal rule, genuine self-control and spiritual ambition.

I hesitate to encourage the women to resist to the last drop of their blood, but I am dismayed by a number of stylish, well coiffed, décolleté and manicured “feminists” in America, including Iranian expatriates, who urge the courageous women of Iran to continue their bloody struggle against the regime in Iran without naming the real enemy….Sharia. It is like telling them to die in vain.

Two weeks ago, there were two options: a dismal, radioactive future under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or calmer baby steps away from the brink of war and chaos under Mir Hossein Mousavi. Now, there are two completely different options: either the Islamic Revolution meets its inevitable collapse earlier than anyone anticipated, or the marriage of convenience between Ali Khamenei and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad transitions into a de facto pseudo-theocratic military dictatorship with no discernible trace of reason or restraint.

“Given CAIR’s … associations with known terrorist entities and individuals, and its tactics … their cries of victimization and accusations of religious bigotry appear disingenuous.”

The “Globale islamische Medienfront” (GIME) (global Islamic Media front) in Vienna posted a death threat on its website, saying, “Killing Winter is the right and duty of every Muslim.”

At first glance, the popular revolt in Iran is a repeat of the upheaval of 1979, but on closer examination, the differences are greater than the similarities.

slaughtered in the prime of your life by a bullet of savage Islamists as you peacefully marched along with throngs of other Iranians seeking nothing more than what is your God-given right-the right to liberty and dignity.

No matter how the street protests across Iran play out, it is clear that an era is coming to an end. The Khomeini Revolution is out of steam, out of favor, out of supporters.

Why would Hamas, a Sunni terrorist organization, be involved in supporting the regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Shiite mullahs?

The public suggestion in a respected, privately-owned Egyptian media source that the Muslim Brotherhood has a significant armed branch should be of keen interest to U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies. If this is true, it should put to rest any consideration by U.S. officialdom to engage the Muslim Brotherhood in substantial dialogue. It would seemingly weigh in favor of designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” John F. Kennedy

A major confrontation that has been building throughout the Middle East for decades is now escalating. Could the rigged Iranian election light the fuse to a regional explosion?

Nancy Pelosi – our water-boarding, flip-flopping Speaker of the House – needs to rise to the occasion of her own making and offer up Alcatraz Island as the new home for all 241 inmates in Guantanamo Bay.

Their public pronouncements of this ongoing theme, does not contribute at all towards a real change in the status of Christians and Jews living in Daru’l Islam.
