The Rise of Islam in America
Islam lies at a dangerous intersection between race and immigration.
by William Robertson Boggs
Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the United States. Partly through conversion but mainly through immigration, the number of Muslims has now risen to three or four million. At current rates of increase, there will be more Muslims than Presbyterians within the decade. Early in the next century their numbers may well grow past six million, at which point there will be more American Muslims than Jews.
Islam is not a religion that attracts whites. Although there may be as many as 1,500,000 native-born Americans who have converted to Islam they are, almost without exception, black. Heretofore, black Muslims and immigrant Muslims have had little to do with each other, but they are beginning to build alliances. Militant blacks and Middle-Eastern fundamentalists are discovering common ground, bound together in a religion that, in its extreme forms, strives to dominate all aspects of society.

Halabja must mean a new beginning
3/20/2006
As the riot erupted in Halabja on 16 March 2006, many Kurdish politicians were attending the opening of the Iraqi parliament in Baghdad. The Kurdish leaders have long argued that they have established a safe haven for democracy in their autonomous region since 1992. They say their government is a model for Iraq's future. This debatably is no longer the case.
