Tehran, Iran, Dec. 23 – An Iranian cleric welcomed on Friday the execution by hanging of three men all in their twenties in the north-eastern town of Sabzevar. Hojjatoleslam Gholam-Hossein Ebrahimi, the Friday prayers leader in the north-eastern city of Sabzevar, told worshippers that the sentences were carried out under Islamic law. “This action was a great religious service and a prayer to the Almighty”, Ebrahimi said. “Islam is a mixture of laws which once carried out bring bliss for the world and the day of judgement”, he added. Two of the men, whose identities have not been made public,...

Six-year-old Aisha loves the orange blouse and jeans given to her by the kind woman who rescued her from the chaos of the Kashmir earthquake. She snuggles up to her, trying to forget the devastation of her village home and the deaths of her parents 15 days ago. What Aisha does not know is that the woman, Kausar, is a prostitute who has bought her from relatives for 50,000 rupees (£500) and plans to put her to work in the sex trade as soon as she reaches puberty. Aisha is not alone. According to welfare agencies, many of the hundreds...

Document calls for violence, destruction of 'American empire' The group al Qaeda in Iraq -- which has been behind many of the worst attacks, beheadings, and kidnappings in Iraq -- has issued a manifesto in which it calls for violence and hate for all but "true Muslims." Shiites do not belong among "true Muslims," the group says, calling their faith "a confession of polytheism and rejectionism." It also declares: "We vow by the name of God that we are determined to destroy the American empire," adding that the insurgency is stronger than Washington acknowledges. The document also warns there will...

The Tancredo Blunder Donald Sensing has all the links that really matter on the Tancredo blunder. (HT: StonesCryOut.) Pastor Sensing notes that I corrected the first post to specifically note that Congressman Tancredo talked of "bombing" Mecca, not "nuking" Mecca. The actual audio is available to anyone now at the website for WFLA 540 in Orlando. Note two things. First, Congressman Tancredo said that if we determined that "extremist fundamentalist Muslims" attacked the U.S. with nukes, then we should bomb Mecca. Why, he should be asked, if "extremist fundamentalist" Muslims are guilty would we declare war on all Muslims? Why...

FROM A FAITH PERSPECTIVE A malaise brewing in Islam Not only for outsiders, but for devout Muslims too, Islam has become illiberal, alien, dangerous and bewildering. Islam has always been criticized for being intolerant to self-criticism. Today, as a Muslim and as an insider, I would like to...

"Some religions suck more than others, though, and one of them is Islam. It's not Muslims that I dislike -- I just dislike their faith." Wow, Joe Fisher is a columnist for The South End, the student newspaper at Wayne State University in Detroit, and this quote is from his Feb. 26 column, "Islam Sucks," which I read in utter disbelief. Although I disagreed with everything Fisher said, I was most amazed that he chose to write such an outlandish piece. Fisher's column was perceived as a symbol of hate by dozens of readers who wrote infuriated letters to the...
