It's a show of cultural benevolence since Ramadan is traditionally celebrated with families coming together. But as Eid approaches on Oct. 13, women's...

It is now clear that a “death cult” has taken root within Islam. These fanatical enemies of freedom will as soon rain death and mayhem upon a schoolyard of innocent children (Muslim as well as non-Muslim) as they will attack a military vehicle. Yet while we denounce these zealots who seek to destroy in the name of religion, we should also acknowledge that a “death cult” has arisen in our own society as well. Many in this group worship at the altar of secularism. They have devalued life, and their handiwork is memorialized in the ignominious Roe v. Wade decision...

I remember hearing a short while ago that the Islamic Republic Police had “arrested” dogs, as a part of their “fight against immodesty”. Today, a very good friend sent a set of pictures of the arrested dogs. Clearly, these dogs are not meant to live in the conditions they are being kept, but, anyways, they do not treat human beings anything better.

Hamas TV airs `Lion King' cartoon hero By SARAH EL DEEB, Associated Press Writer Fri Aug 24, 4:37 PM ET JERUSALEM - After killing off its Mickey Mouse-lookalike, Hamas has turned to another Disneyesque character — televising a cartoon with a "Lion King" wannabe to portray the Islamic group's victory in the Gaza Strip over the Fatah movement.

ROMA – That Aramaic was the lingua franca of a vast area of the ancient Middle East is a notion that is by now amply noted by a vast public, thanks to Mel Gibson’s film “The Passion of the Christ,” which everyone watches in that language. But that Syro-Aramaic was also the root of the Koran, and of the Koran of a primitive Christian system, is a more specialized notion, an almost clandestine one. And it’s more than a little dangerous. The author of the most important book on the subject – a German professor of ancient Semitic and...

Obsession I have just viewed the film ?Obsession?, the documentary about radical Islam?s war on the west, extracts from which were shown on Fox News in the US at the weekend and which you can read about on this website. It should be made compulsory viewing for every politician and pundit who clings to the misguided belief that all we face is terrorism rooted in various grievances around the world. It is the single most powerful and terrifying public exposition of the fact that a global Islamic jihad is now being waged from Bali to Istanbul, from Chechnya to Madrid,...

No such thing as remorse or apology in Islam - the arrogance of the DEATH CULT Ever asked yourself why is it that the Pope is being forced to "apologize" again and again, even to go out of his way to "accomadate" Muslims, furthermore, even making a special trip to a Muslim country, all just because he dared to connect violence to Islam - the truth? Or why Israel keeps being apologizing for any non combatanats killed in any anti terror operations, even though we all know they are being used by terrible Arab Muslim terrorists as shields? Or why...

If the Democrats think the Islamic Jihadists will respect them more than President Bush then read this! This is an article everyone needs to read.

“All those who hate me love death” – Jehovah, Proverbs 8:36 “We love death. The US loves life. That is the difference between us two.” – Osama bin Laden, November 2001 Superlatives are insufficient to describe the horror currently seen in Iraq: bags filled with severed human heads; scores of bodies found with the eyes drilled out; limbs amputated with power saws; crowds of Iraqi children blown to bits for accepting candy from American troops; pits filled with bodies of executed “collaborators”.

A notorious Muslim extremist told a demonstration in London yesterday that the Pope should face execution. Anjem Choudary said those who insulted Islam would be "subject to capital punishment". His remarks came during a protest outside Westminster Cathedral on a day that worldwide anger among Muslim hardliners towards Pope Benedict XVI appeared to deepen. The pontiff yesterday apologised for causing offence during a lecture last week. Quoting a medieval emperor, his words were taken to mean that he called the prophet Mohammed "evil and inhuman". He insisted he was "deeply sorry" but his humbling words did not go far enough...

Khatami said he was one of the first world leaders to condemn "the barbarous acts"...

There has been talk for years about the “morning after pill” or the “abortion pill”. Those who have been following the promotion of Levonorgestrel, or “Plan B”, as it is called, aren’t very surprised that it has been approved for over-the-counter sales. After all, the FDA has given its stamp of approval to dozens of other methods of killing the preborn. The Pill (in many of its various forms), the IUD, Norplant, Depo-Provera, etc. all have the potential of killing the newly conceived human. Human life has been devalued to such a degree in this throw-away society that a newly...

This morning, I renewed my driver's license. Of course, on the application they asked me if I wanted to donate my organs in the eventuality of my death. Being an altruist by nature, my first reaction was, why not, it could help somebody. But then a fear crept into my head - what if I was seriously ill, and "they" decided to hasten my as of yet not-inevitable death to harvest my organs? While my first reaction was that is absurd, I decided to chose "no" given the well grounded fear that in today's society, where life is given no...

Americans Are Rising To Occasion INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted 8/10/2006 Public Opinion: Most Americans may not think of the war on terror as World War III, but a solid majority takes the threat of militant Islamism very seriously, suspects that Iran is behind much of it and concludes that the U.S. must stop that country from getting nukes "at any cost." These are among the results of the latest IBD/TIPP Poll, which probed how seriously Americans view the spread of Islamofascism and whether they recognize a need to confront it sooner rather than later. Many commentators refer to the global...

US Muslims bristle at Bush term "Islamic fascists" Thu Aug 10, 2006 3:07 PM ET By Amanda Beck WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Muslim groups criticized President George W. Bush on Thursday for calling a foiled plot to blow up airplanes part of a "war with Islamic fascists," saying the term could inflame anti-Muslim tensions. U.S. officials have said the plot, thwarted by Britain, to blow up several aircraft over the Atlantic bore many of the hallmarks of al Qaeda. "We believe this is an ill-advised term and we believe that it is counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism,"...

Mohammed, The Mad Poet Quoted.... Not too long ago I was listening to the radio, Bill O'Reilly on KFMB, as I recall. During his show, Bill was talking about some passages from the Koran that had appeared in print that seemed to contradict much of the CAIR and other Islamic apologist propaganda. During the program a man, a Muslim, called in to the show to accuse O'Reilly of being unfair and taking things out of context, etc. He then said that you need to have an Imam explain these passages to you so you can understand their meaning. This of...
