    The New Soldier ^ | 1972 | John Kerry
    Here is the hard to find/infamous book cover! Every Marine needs to have this burned in his memory. http://richardheymann.com/Kerry%20Cover.jpg Kerry ran for election to the U.S. House in 1972 during which he found it necessary to suppress reproduction of the cover picture appearing on his own book, The New Soldier. His political opponent pointed out that it depicted several unkempt youths crudely handling an upside down American flag to mock the famous photo of the U.S. Marines at Iwo Jima.

    Katherine is attractive, successful, witty, and educated. She also can't find a husband. Why? Because most of the men this thirtysomething software analyst dates do not want to get married. These men have Peter Pan syndrome: They refuse to commit, refuse to settle down, and refuse to "grow up." However, given the family court policies and divorce trends of today, Peter Pan is no naive boy, but instead a wise man. "Why should I get married and have kids when I could lose those kids and most of what I've worked for at a moment's notice?" asks Dan, a 31-year-old...

    Islam's Threat to the WestWes Vernon, NewsMax.comThursday, May 9, 2002 WASHINGTON – "We do believe Islam is at war with the Christian West.” With that comment, Paul Weyrich and William S. Lind have broken through a taboo in the entire discussion of the war on terrorism. Those who say the threat comes only from "Islamic fundamentalism” or "Islamic extremism” miss the whole point of the terrorist attacks, Weyrich and Lind argue. In fact, those who believe the terrorist enemy is confined only to a few fanatics "misportray the nature of Islam itself.” "War against the unbeliever is as central...

    Bob Costas just now reported that the French ice skating judge admitted today to "swapping high scores" with the Ukraine and/or Russian judges. The French judge was to give a high score in pairs figure skating to the Russian figure skating duo in exchange for a high score from the Russian judge in next Friday's ice dancing competition. The French judge was one of the five that essentially gave the gold medal to the Russian figure skating pair over the Canadian pair. Those judges included China, Russia, Ukraine, France and Poland.

    Los Angeles (Reuters) ^ | February 7th, 2002 | Reuters
    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Some 300 translations of the Koran, donated to Los Angeles schools by a local Muslim foundation to promote religious understanding after Sept. 11, have been removed because of an accompanying anti-Semitic commentary, school board officials said on Thursday. The book, "The Meaning of the Holy Koran," is a 1934 translation of the Muslim holy text, which includes footnotes dating from that era which describe Jews variously as "arrogant" "illiterate" and "men without faith." They were donated to schools by the Omar Ibn Khattab Foundation in Los Angeles to promote religious tolerance and understanding after the suicide ...

    FOUR out of every 10 British Muslims believe Osama Bin Laden is justified in mounting his war against the United States. And more than one in 10 say the attacks on the World Trade Center were justified, write John Elliott and Maurice Chittenden. A Sunday Times survey, the first large-scale poll of the Muslim community since the start of the bombing campaign against Afghanistan, shows 40% believe Bin Laden has cause to wage war against America and a similar proportion say Britons who choose to go to fight alongside the Taliban are right to do so. Muslim leaders, some of ...

    IF YOU thought Osama Bin Laden's brand of Islamic fundamentalism was as extreme as it gets, think again. A rival group of Muslim terrorists exists which regards him as an infidel who has sold out. Bin Laden's declaration of war against the West has failed to impress Takfir wal-Hijra, an ultra-hardcore group that has won a reputation for unbridled savagery in Egypt and Sudan. Hamza: even he's shocked Its fundamentalism is so extreme that members have embarked on killing sprees in mosques against fellow Muslims in the belief that a pure Islamic state can be built only if the corrupt ...

    The Saudi royal family has been thrown into panic. It is facing the most serious threat to its rule since the 1990 Iraqi occupation of Kuwait. The difference is that the Iraqi threat was external. This time, the House of Saud faces an internal threat. What happened? In short, the Saudis have created a monster. It began in 1979 when the Shah of Iran was overthrown by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The Saudi kingdom was in panic. The kingdom had a large Shi'ite minority and the new Islamic regime in Iran was openly questioning the legitimacy of Saudi sovereignty over Mecca, ...

    Minister Louis Farrakhan called Tuesday on President Bush to lay out the evidence against Osama bin Laden so people may judge whether he was involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "Don't hide behind national security," Farrakhan said in a speech marking the sixth anniversary of the Million Man March. "The nation would be more secure if you give the American people a reason to fight." Even though the U.S. and its allies say they have proof that bin Laden and the Al Qaeda network were responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Farrakhan said: ...

Our sources report another three convoys are behind the first 3000, who crossed the frontier Friday, October 5. They are entering Afghanistan along the ancient Krakoram Road to the Afghan-Pakistani border, through the Kulik Pass of Little ...
