"Consensus on Iraq eludes Democrats"
By Rowan Scarborough
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
November 15, 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Democrats in charge of national security in Congress plan to showcase the Iraq war as their leading issue in 2007, conducting a series of hearings and promoting legislation that would force President Bush to start bringing home troops next year.
But Democrats at this point lack a consensus on Iraq."

"Author Examines 'War' Against Non-Muslims"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Washington (CNSNews.com) - Western policymakers need to "undertake a systematic study" of Islamic theology and law before they can understand the goals and motives of terrorists who are working to subjugate or convert non-Muslim populations, a scholar on Islam told a gathering in Washington on Tuesday.
It would be a mistake to assume that Islam has been "hijacked," argued Robert Spencer, the author of a recent book on the prophet of Islam, Mohammed.
Terrorists and extremists targeting American interests today are making use of the actual text in the Koran and the teachings of their prophet, he said.
Spencer is the director of the Jihad Watch website and the author of six books, his most recent dealing with Mohammed.
"It is untrue that jihadists are a tiny minority of extremists," Spencer said in a lecture hosted by the Heritage Foundation.
"The texts of Islamic jurisprudence say it is incumbent upon the Islamic community to wage war against non-Muslims until they submit or convert. This concept is shared by all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence and is not rejected by anything considered orthodox."
At the conclusion of Spencer's presentation, police were called to the event after several individuals began to chant slogans, expressing their displeasure at the substance of Spencer's talk."
