As scattered protests and violence continued to grip Iran’s capital on Sunday, the government arrested relatives of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former president who heads two influential councils, exposing a deep rift among the nation’s top […]
Bill Clinton to peek behind Muslim veils
I kid you not. The ArtReach Foundation is most pleased to announce that the Clinton Foundation will debut Breaking the Veils at the Clinton Presidential Museum and Center in Little Rock, Arkansas in June 2008. Then in 2009 the exhibit will travel to Atlanta for an opening in that city, home to The ArtReach Foundation. […]
Extreme Euphemism Alert 2008
Extreme Christian 2008 Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal had a story on Pope Benedict’s U.S. visit. Much of the analysis was about Iraq, but then came this: A major theme of Pope Benedict’s papacy has been the importance of reason and faith coexisting. Reason without faith, he has said, leads to empty materialism, while faith without […]
Jonah Goldberg on Fitna
Geert Wilders’ film could very, very easily get him killed. (He’s already guarded around the clock.) It essentially picks up the work of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, who was murdered in 2004 by a jihadi for criticizing Islam. “Fitna” is certainly provocative, yet it has good reason to provoke.

Users of a leading Islamic militant Web forum posted thousands […]
Well, we brought the fascists out…
From David Horowitz’s blog The fascists came out in force tonight at Emory University and broke up what would have been an interesting conversation. I hardly got through fiteen minutes of my scheduled talk before members of the audience who come to protest rather than to listen became so unruly that it was impossible to […]
