Debates over how peaceful Islam have been going on ever since I can remember, and especially since September 11, 2001. Pastor Terry Jones and his congregation held a trial for the Koran, found it guilty and burned it. Next he is going to put Mohammad on trial. Pastor Jones and his followers are nuts. They have the right though to burn the Koran in America or any religious book, though to do so is twisted and wrong. But there is something more sick, twisted, wrong and an abomination. It is Radical Islam. Radical Islam practiced heavily in North Africa, The...

... “What is your take or opinion about jihad?” came the first question for President Obama at a town hall-style meeting at St. Xavier’s College. Next up: queries about spirituality, Gandhi, the American midterm elections and his government’s negotiations with the Taliban. Finally, there was the question Mr. Obama confessed he had been waiting for: Why hasn’t the United States labeled Pakistan “a terrorist state?” “Pakistan is an enormous country; it is a strategically important country,” Mr. Obama began carefully, before meandering around to a defense of his administration, in which he said its policy is to “work with the...

One in four younger Muslims in the United States believes suicide bombings to defend Islam are justified in at least some circumstances, although nearly 80% of all Muslim Americans say such attacks are never acceptable, and most are critical of Al Qaeda, according to a nationwide poll released today. The study, by the Pew Research Center, paints a picture of a richly diverse, complex and still largely immigrant community that for the most part has blended comfortably into American life. Most Muslim Americans are moderate, mainstream and middle class, the study shows. They are largely assimilated, happy with their lives...

Nothing on the boob tube tonight so my demented mind was working overtime tonight and I came up with the new lyrics to an old John Denver hit from the 7o’s. With the Flying Imams trying to soften our already lax airport security, I thought this was a most appropriate tune. Please enjoy! All my bombs are packed, I’m ready to go. I’m kneeling here, on my sandy floor. I love to kill Jews, and Christians too. But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn. The taxi’s waiting, he’s blowing his horn, I’m a Jihadi, and I’m gonna die! Cause...

In a keynote speech delivered at his Downing Street office, Blair admitted that Britain's much-vaunted multi-cultural model had come in for intense scrutiny since last year's bomb attacks on London's public transport network. The attacks, which killed 52 commuters, were carried out by four Islamic extremist suicide bombers, three of them Britons of Pakistani origin and the fourth a naturalised Britain from the Caribbean. It prompted a wide-ranging debate about how...

EAST ORANGE, N.J. -- Barack Obama was standing before a packed high school auditorium when he noticed a familiar face in the crowd -- none other than singer Dionne Warwick. He paused, flashed a mischievous smile, then let loose with a perfectly on-key performance of the opening line of her hit song "Walk On By." The audience of 300 students and adults roared with approval. Obama, a first-term Democratic senator from Illinois, seems to be hitting the right notes these days. During Senate recesses, he has been touring the country at breakneck pace, basking in the sudden fame of a...
