Apologists, including the President, have tried to make the case that it is we who are being intolerant and inconsistent with our own First Amendment. But there are a few problems with this argument:
1.) We aren’t dealing with just any religion, but one whose beliefs comprise a complete socio-political system that is hostile to our [...]

President Obama finally decided to take a position on the Ground Zero Mosque, and as expected, he sided against America. Speaking at a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, the president strongly approved of building a mosque near ground zero claiming the country’s founding principles demanded it. But I can find [...]

Ground Zero Mosque: Hidden Meaning for America, But Not Islam

Westerners who defend the building of the controversial mosque at ground zero do so on the grounds of religious freedom. Such First Amendment absolutism in the face of a deceptive religion whose beliefs are totally antithetical to our own, ultimately works against the West and aids in our own demise. American values such as liberty [...]

A recent article in The Associated Press highlighted the troubles of Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square bomber, citing how “his life seemed to unravel.”
“He left a job at a global marketing firm he’d held for three years, lost his home to foreclosure and moved into an apartment in an impoverished neighborhood in Bridgeport.”
Of course, the [...]

In this last installment we get to the schools, and thus the heart of the matter as to why so many Americans are unfamiliar with the information provided in parts 1 and 2. The education system in this country is to blame for whitewashing Islam with political correctness in order to fit the overwhelmingly liberal [...]

An AP article describes the Fort Hood terrorist as being a confidant of the radical jihadist Anwar al-Awlaki, a cleric with ties to al-Qaida. The imam said that the Ft. Hood attack was permissible under Islam. “America was the one who first brought the battle to Muslim countries,” al-Awlaki said.  Although he never explains how, [...]

Fort Hood: the Military, the Media, Political Correctness, and Nidal Malik Hasan

Following President Obama’s appalling speech addressing the terrorist attack at Fort Hood, one has to wonder how much political correctness is really embedded in our military. As a side note, Obama urged people not to ‘jump to conclusions’ concerning Nidal Malik Hasan, yet had no problem jumping to conclusions himself with the Cambridge Police incident.
The [...]

While President Obama’s speech had some strength to it, such as reminding Muslims that the holocaust did happen and that Islamic extremism is wrong, it unfortunately had even more faults. Obama often engaged in the typical rhetoric of moral equivalence, and revisionist flattery, in attempting to appeal to the Muslim world.
With Obama-history, Islam is praised [...]
