In an adulatory Los Angeles Times interview last Friday, Leftist media darling Reza Aslan asserts that Donald Trump’s popularity reveals that “a large swath of us [is] xenophobic, racist and Islamophobic.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- President Obama vowed Saturday to keep United States borders open to refugees "as long as I'm president" as he visited a Malaysian humanitarian center and met migrant children, many of whom escaped violence in homelands that include Myanmar, Pakistan and Syria.

Despite Supreme Court cases permitting such acts as protected speech, the Constitution seems to take a back seat to Islamo-Correctness. Are the actions of Fenton a sign of increased intolerance or just a healty American defense of liberty? The National Review has an excellent article written by Clifford D. May entitled, Cry Islamophobia! And let slip the dogs of culture war. May argues that there is not an increase in American disdain for Muslims, but for Islam. One reason for this is...

Fox is quoting al-Jazeera to the effect that the Korean captive has been beheaded

WASHINGTON : The United States signaled its readiness to put up with an Islamic theocracy in future sovereign Iraq, with Secretary of State Colin Powell saying the US administration "will have to accept" any government created as a result of free and fair elections there. The remark, made in an interview with NBC television, marked a policy reversal for the administration of President George W. Bush, which up to now had vowed to fight tooth and nail any attempt by Iraqi Shiite leaders to follow in the footsteps of their brethren in Iran.
