D’Souza Smackdown

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

That cracking sound you hear is the foundation of liberal academia at Boston College beginning to crumble under the weight of truth spoken by Dinesh D’Souza.

I’d love to see the video of D’Souza taking apart the “star professor” and head of the religion center at BC, Alan Wolfe. Then we could see for ourselves […]

C-CPAN Must-see TV

Friday, July 6th, 2007

Since it’s summer and there’s nothing but re-runs on I’ve been channel surfing more than usual. Last night I happened to catch a speech by Muslim dissident Irshad Manji on C-SPAN. What a gutsy broad! Ultimately, I think she’s a leftist with whom I would disagree on many things. Despite her […]

Livingstone v. Blair

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

While London’s Dhimmi mayor, Ken Livingstone, defends Muslims in the wake of a Muslim terrorist attack, Tony Blair goes out with a bang, ripping into Islamists for nurturing a false sense of grievance:

“The idea that as a Muslim in this country that you don’t have the freedom to express your religion or your views, I […]

Five Years Later: Americans Trapped in Saudi Arabia

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

The intro runs about 30-seconds before the sound starts. So be patient (or skip forward); it’s working.

Too few people saw this video back when it was made, before YouTube and Google video became what they are. It used to be available on the House Committee’s website, until a new Chairman took it down […]

Constantly Directing?

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

Our congregation recently conducted a lengthy survey prepared by some consultants from Harding University. It had tons of questions, but the very first substantive question under the heading “personal beliefs” asked to what extent you agree or disagree with the statement: “God is constantly at work in the world directing people, nations and events.”Turns […]

Episcopal Church Appoints First Openly-Muslim Bishop

Monday, June 18th, 2007

No, it’s not an Onion or Scrappleface headline. Well, it was. But, now it’s for real, except she’s a priest instead of a bishop.

She says she is “both Muslim and Christian.” Apparently she was hiding the Muslim part, but recently came out:

Shortly after noon on Fridays, the Rev. Ann Holmes Redding […]

Just Plain Crazy

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

I saw this on the Corner.

American commanders cite al-Qaida’s severe brand of Islam, which is so extreme that in Baqouba, al-Qaida has warned street vendors not to place tomatoes beside cucumbers because the vegetables are different genders, Col. David Sutherland said.

Read the whole article if you like.

If it’s not the Crusades, it’s the cartoons.

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

Mark Steyn, describing President Bush’s recent interview with a group of conservative journalists:

The president’s view is that before it was Iraq it was Israel; with these guys, it’s always something. Sometimes it’s East Timor — which used to be the leftie cause du jour. And, riffing on the endless list of Islamist grievances, […]

The Aga Khan

Monday, October 9th, 2006

If more Muslim leaders sounded like the Aga Khan — and if they spoke out more often — the world would have a better chance of avoiding a protracted clash of civilizations.

He’s a British citizen living in France and educated in the West. He is also the leader of the Ismaili, a Shia sect […]

Ongoing War

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

This Ongoing War is usually interesting and informative and I would encourage everyone to check-in there on a regular basis. The last few posts have prompted me to mention them specifically.

First, Hezbollah has it’s own youth program. The only requirement for 10-15 year olds recruited for the “Mahdi Scouts” is that they be […]
