Religions shouldn’t be considered responsible for the misdeeds of their followers, right? That has been the consistent establishment media line on Islam since 9/11, and before that, and it has been enshrined in public policy on both sides of the Atlantic and become axiomatic in the West’s approach to terrorism.

He writes in Newsweek: “If Christianity can convince so many to follow a man like Trump almost worshipfully—or couldn’t at least help millions discern the unique threat Trump represented—what good is...

But Fox News Channel's Tony Snow had a different idea. Snow thought it might be interesting to stick to the facts for a change. This Sunday past, Sen. Rockefeller took a play from the Terry McAuliffe playbook and simply invented a convenient history.
