Deep in the article:
We received many interesting responses to our comments, amongst which was an article written by Dr. Anis Shorrosh, a Palestinian Muslim by birth. Dr. Shorrosh comments about the popularity of Islam with African-Americans, "...Strange enough, no one tells the African-Americans that it was the Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves, nor the fact that in the Arabic the word for black and slave is the same, 'Abed.'"
It would be a final, terrible and sad irony that if African-Americans, who literally for hundreds of years have been exploited, mistreated, and suffered, should, after all of these tribulations, when they have fought for and gained their rightful place in society, now fall for a con-job from these, often evil, people, who, we believe, simply wish to exploit them once again.
Unbeatable quote:
So now, we have a most unusual situation. Ms. Heinz, or Ms. Heinz Kerry, is basically saying, "I insisted upon a prenuptial agreement because I don't trust him, but I want the rest of the country to trust him. This is a variation of the Clinton theme, where he did to the country what he was doing to Monica Lewinsky, but was apparently not doing to Hillary.
Nailed It!
This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Lee Harris, David Warren, Orson Scott Card. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).
