ISLAMIC  FUNDAMENTALISM  IN  KASHMIR Ethnic Cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits The Muslim and Hindu peoples of Kashmir have lived in relative harmony and friendliness since the 13th century when Islam first became the majority religion in Kashmir. The Sufi-Islamic way of life that ordinary Muslims followed in Kashmir complemented the rishi tradition of Kashmiri Pandits (Hindus), leading to a syncretic culture where Hindus and Muslims revered the same local saints and prayed at the same shrines. Periodically however, there have been rulers and leaders who have had a narrow view of Islam, and have subjected Hindu minorities to great cruelties and...

  http://slate.msn.com/?id=2066272 The Sum of All PC Hollywood's reverse racial profiling. By Reihan Salam Posted Tuesday, May 28, 2002, at 2:41 PM PT   The threat of al-Qaida terrorist attacks is currently scaring America stiff. But you'd be hard-pressed to find Muslim terrorists in any of today's blockbuster action movies, which instead offer such uncontroversial bad guys as killer aliens and abusive husbands. Why is Hollywood shying away from al-Qaida-like villains? Movies have always relied on politically relevant villains, from Russian spies to South African apartheidniks to Serbian ethnic cleansers. Tom Clancy's much-loved Jack Ryan series is the gold standard....

  Camp David and After: An Exchange (1. An Interview with Ehud Barak) By Benny Morris 1. An Interview with Ehud BarakThe following interview with Ehud Barak took place in Tel Aviv during late March and early April. I have supplied explanatory references in brackets with Mr. Barak's approval.The call from Bill Clinton came hours after the publication in The New York Times of Deborah Sontag's "revisionist" article ("Quest for Middle East Peace: How and Why It Failed," July 26, 2001) on the Israeli–Palestinian peace process.

  An Old Dog No Longer Barks by Rex Reed Hold on to your No-Doz: Another Star Wars is here. Episode II-Attack of the Clones is as exciting as a rancid Yoo-Hoo. These horrors don't go away; they just keep coming back, like penicillin-resistant viruses. This $120 million installment (cheap by series standards) looks and sounds like the four that came before, except that it's noisier and stupider than the last-and twice as boring. From his secluded Skywalker Ranch in the California redwoods, George Lucas has built a billion-dollar empire putting comic books on film. Grown-ups with the arrested development...

EXCERPT:.......The Ponticelli controversy centers on the regional government's plans to build a $2 million mosque for Naples' burgeoning population of Muslims from North Africa and Albania. On one level, the debate focuses on a European-wide fear that immigrants are imposing their culture on the continent, sapping public resources and causing an increase in crime. Italy's right-wing government is pressing for laws to jail some illegal immigrants for up to a year, dispatch naval boats to patrol the long coastline and allow the destruction of ships that smuggle immigrants into the country. But the Ponticelli mosque story is as much a...

Yet for years prior to the atrocities committed that day, critics of mass immigration and advocates of immigration restriction have argued ...

  Bin Ladin's interview with ABC's John Miller year 1998     Q:            Mr. Bin Ladin, to Americans you are an interesting figure: A man who comes from a background of wealth and comforts who ended up fighting on the front lines. Many Americans would think that's unusual. Reply from Osama Bin Ladin: The exact location of Bin Ladin's Afghan hideaway is a closely guarded secret. (Magellan Geographix/ABCNEWS.com) Thanks be to Allah. It is hard for one to understand if the person does not understand Islam. In our religion we believe that Allah created us to worship him.

Religion's misguided missiles Promise a young man that death is not the end and he will willingly cause disaster Special report: terrorism in the US Richard Dawkins Saturday September 15, 2001 The Guardian A guided missile corrects its trajectory as it flies, homing in, say, on the heat of a jet plane's exhaust. A great improvement on a simple ballistic shell, it still cannot discriminate particular targets. It could not zero in on a designated New York skyscraper if launched from as far away as Boston. That is precisely what a modern "smart missile" can do. Computer miniaturisation has ...

    The Truth About Amnesty Creeps Out… By Sam Francis Steve Sailer says amnesty proposal will backfire A tip of the sombrero to George W. Bush, who cleverly managed to knock what is essentially the stem cell of an amnesty for illegal Mexican aliens off the front pages last week by announcing his new policy on stem cell research itself at almost the same time. Nevertheless, as another Republican president once said, you can't fool all the people all the time. Sooner or later, the truth about the amnesty will creep out. The agreement so far, disclosed last ...
