Father in Pakistan Kills His 4 Daughters
Another honor killing in Pakistan. Those who claim that this sort of thing has nothing to do with Islam and the Sharia imperative have yet to explain why the overwhelming majority of such cases happen in an Islamic context. The shame/honor culture, rooted in Islamic ideas of purity and impurity, is what gives rise to […]

Voted in by free elections. Indicating, as I have said here many times and elsewhere over the years, that the simple act of voting is not nearly enough to establish a viable free society.

Once considered a nuisance, the rocket fire has been increasing in intensity, and is causing Israel to consider new security measures, since the […]
New terror charges laid against Ottawa man
Gotta watch out for those Canadian terrorists, eh? What’s that? A Muslim? No, that’s not important. What’s that? The common denominator of some of the primary groups committing terrorist acts today?
