Being Muslim Is No Crime

How convenient that there are Muslims in America. How much harder it would be for the government to increase its power, while abridging more general liberties, if they didn’t exist. A radical Islamic preacher, who also happens to be an American citizen, is now hiding out somewhere in Yemen inciting violence against this country. What’s … Continue reading “Being Muslim Is No Crime”

Obama’s Gulf of Tonkin

The claim by the US government that the Times Square would-be bomber, Faisal Shahzad, was “trained” and “directed” by the Pakistani Taliban is looking more bogus by the moment.

With the complicity of the Obama-stricken media, they just might get away with it, opening the way for expanded military … Continue reading “Has Faisal Shahzad Started a War?”

Faisal Shahzad: An Ordinary Man

The day after President Obama made his Predator joke at the White House Correspondents dinner, Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American, was in the middle of Times Square trying to blow the place up. I’m not saying there was any connection, although you never know: yet there is indeed a link between the casual arrogance that allowed … Continue reading “Faisal Shahzad: An Ordinary Man”
