MLK a Republican? Ouch!

Here’s an ad that ran on some Maryland radio stations in support of Michael Steele, a black Republican candidate for governor. Good thing the group that sponsored the ad was the National Black Republican Association. Two black voters discuss the issues. Pam: Dr. King was a real man. Tina: You [...]

HIV Testing for All?

Quick. What’s your cholesterol level? Then what is your HIV status? According to the CDC, HIV testing should become as common as testing for cholesterol. Here’s the article as it appeared in my Plain Dealer: Atlanta – Federal health officials Thursday recommended regular voluntary testing for the AIDS virus for [...]

Islam’s Burning Faith

There is a fire burning in the house of Islam. Those within the religion may smell the smoke and dismiss it while those in the secular world may look for an arsonist outside the house. Today’s WSJ opinion piece explores this idea. Is the pope wrong to imply–in a rather roundabout [...]

Chesterton on Islam

The effort of the Crusades was sufficient to stop the advance of Islam, but not sufficient to exhaust it. A few centuries after, the Moslem attacked once more, with modern weapons and in a more indifferent age; and, amid the disputes of diplomatists and the dying debates of the Reformation, he succeeded in sailing [...]

I Love the Aussies

From Australia: Muslims are “perfectly entitled” to criticise the Pope for linking Islam with evil and violence, but John Howard wants them to “move on”. The Prime Minister said last night he was “disappointed” and “exasperated” that “whenever the Pope says something (it) provokes demonstrations”. In defence of comments yesterday by the Catholic Archbishop [...]

Pope Calls a Crusade Against Secularism

I’ve read (actually I listened to the CD’s) Professor Thomas F. Madden’s lectures on the history of the crusades and they are really quite good. The professor now looks at the Holy Father’s recent words regarding Islam in the context of history and in the context of the pope’s speech on faith and [...]

A New Era of Multiculturism?

Several world leaders have stood firm against the Muslim rage following the Holy Father’s recent speech considered by Muslims to reflect poorly on Islam (which has of course, resulted in violence as protest.) From Australia, imams are read the riot act: The Howard Government’s multicultural spokesman, Andrew Robb, yesterday told an audience of [...]

Here’s an Article That You Will Not See in the MSM

Did you miss the news? It is likely that this kind of news was not widely published since it does not support the “progressive” view of the family. For the first time, more than 100 legal and family scholars have signed a collective document declaring that family law should do a better job [...]

More Shame on the NYT

That bastion of morality, the New York Times, has something to say regarding the Holy Father’s recent words concerning the nature of Islam. There is more than enough religious anger in the world. So it is particularly disturbing that Pope Benedict XVI has insulted Muslims, quoting a 14th-century description of Islam as evil and [...]

Mr. Pope, Be Within Your Limits

I saw this photo in the paper and thought that it was one of those wierd posters that people not familiar with the English language sometimes create. But Jihad Watch has some other ideas: Look at that sign. “Mr. Pope be with in your limits.” What limits? Classic Islamic law stipulates that [...]
