The Left and Islam: Tweedledee and Tweedle dum

On the surface, the Left and Islam have nothing in common. Islam is a religion and the Leftists are usually secular people.

Islam’s Shame: ‘Lifting The Veil of Tears’

by Ibn Warraq Islam is deeply anti-woman. Islam is the fundamental cause of the repression of Muslim women and remains the major obstacle to the evolution of their position.[1] Islam has always considered women as creatures inferior in every way: physically, intellectually, and morally.

The Muslims the Media Doesn’t See

The media coverage of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has one theme and one tack. Like 30 of the 31 men on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list, they were terrorists who just happened to be Muslim.

Islam Got Your Tongue?

As I put it at the end of my first talk, If telling the truth about something can get you killed, then that truth needs to be told again and again and again. And acting on that truth will save us. Mohammad Atta, the ringleader of the 9/11 hijackers, told the passengers on the plane he

The mass exodus of Christians from the Muslim World

“Quran (9:29) - ”Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”  ”People of the

The Muslim World’s Inferiority Complex

By Khaled Montaser Hudson NY   What if an entire civilization developed an inferiority complex? What ramifications would that have on the rest of the world? How would such paranoia play itself out in the interaction of civilizations?

Misinterpreting the Quran: An Equal Opportunity Tactic

By Michael Kravshik People often claim how ‘Islamophobes’ commonly misinterpret the Quran to tarnish its character. But what happens when the translations actually do the opposite, and purposely manipulate the phrasing (or include non-existent phrases) to become more palatable to Western ears? This exact situation has come to my attention on my own campus at Carleton
