Who Are the Heretics?

By -
What the quotes from the Koran quoted below suggest is this: It is not heretics that represent the problem in Islam. It isnot the mass of lukewarm Moslems who don't regularly study the Koran, who place their personal lives and family higher than the religion they were born into. Rather, it is the true believers who actually study the Koran. It is the orthodox, true believers who become violent and intolerant of other faiths. What if it turns out to be true that it is true believers that make up the corp of terrorists because Islam is, at its heart, a violent, war prone, terrorist religion? Because of America's "multiculturalism" and belief that no culture is better than any other, this thought seems to be unthinkable for most Americans. That a popular religion could advocate violence and intolerance seems to be unthinkable for most conservatives and liberals.

The key to unraveling this mystery is not the undeniable truth that there are many peacefull Moslems who do not follow the violent injunctions contained in the Koran. What is key is that the source of violence in Islam is not a heresy, not the personal preferences of disobedient Moslems, but rather the language of the Koran itself, the teachings of Mohammad. What if terrorists are the "good" and orthodox Moslems, and peaceful, tolerant Moslems are heretics, corrupted by weak Western notions?

Please prove to me that I am wrong.

Democrat Party: "Dependency-Bureaucracy Complex"

By -
by George Will ____________________________ If Sept. 11 had never happened -- if debate about domestic policy had not been drowned out by the roar of war -- the potential domestic ramifications of this election would give it unusual nation-shaping power. To understand why is to understand some of the Democratic rage about the specter of a second term for George W. Bush. He has a multifaceted agenda for weakening crucial components of the Democratic Party, factions that depend on cosseting by the federal government. Consider trial lawyers and organized labor. John Kerry's selection of John Edwards as running mate was a blunder, and not just because Kerry probably will lose Edwards's North Carolina. The Edwards selection ratifies a provocative fact: trial lawyers have become the Democrats' most important faction. This has energized small-business owners, the self-employed, doctors and others who worry that they live one lawsuit away from ruin. Such people, now arous

Right Wing Media

The Right Wing Media is taking over, including Tucker Carlson and Chris Matthews, those well known right wing nuts?  Ha Ha,  very funny.   I don't think so.  The Media is fighting over which liberal candidate it prefers.  And journalists are like sharks, when they sense blood in the water, they go into a frenzy and may injure their "friends" like Obama.   The only question this election is which Democrat will be nominated as the Republicans seem quite dead in the water this year, floating in a pool of blood and chum, driving the potential Democratic Presidents and their media adorers into a frenzy.   Or perhaps they are more like zombies, the Presidential Election of the Living Dead.  Democrats will be in charge, that is my prediction. The only question is which one?  Obama has a good chance, despite his lack of experience, as he is the best media candidate. Hillary is so harsh and unlikable.   What will Obama do when he is in charge?  Will Oprah be Vice President?   Ti

Burning Books for Fun

By -
A top Muslim cleric in Indian Kashmir called on Thursday for books by Salman Rushdie to be burned and said Britain had to apologise for awarding the author a knighthood. A small protest also saw some 200 Muslim youths chant "Death to Rushdie" and "Down with Britain" as they torched effigies of the Indian-born British author, accused of blasphemy against Islam in his 1998 book The Satanic Verses. "I urge the Queen and her government to withdraw the award and also apologise to the Muslim world for conferring the knighthood title on Rushdie, as it has hurt Muslim sentiments," Grand Mufti Bashir-u-Din said in a statement. He also urged governments around the world to ban Rushdie's books and called on Kashmiri Muslims to burn them, arguing that Rushdie was still "liable to be killed for rendering gravest injury." Rushdie was sentenced to death in a 1989 fatwa, or religious edict, issued by Iran's late supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomein
