United Nations General Assembly Vote Isolates Russia
UNITED NATIONS — In the first barometer of global condemnation of Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Ukraine and its Western backers persuaded a large majority of countries in the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday to dismiss the...
I am in agreement with her observations.
It is futile to believe that terror committed by Muslim extremists will fade away any time soon for precisely the reason she gives. Muslims have been killing each other for 1400 years, yet they find a convenient and intellectually lazy way to shift blame...
50,000 rally in Moscow against Crimea intervention
Moscow — Around 50,000 people rallied in central Moscow Saturday in protest at Russia's intervention in Ukraine, a day before the Crimean peninsula votes on switching to Kremlin rule.

Putin’s Crimea Propaganda Machine
To justify its invasion of Crimea, the Kremlin and state-run media went into full fabrication mode this weekend. Here are the lies that Russia is telling its viewers back home.
Russia invaded Ukraine over the weekend, justifying its incursion by claming it...
France as an (emerging) nation state did not exist before the 16th century, so every (alleged) invasion on this list attributed to France before this time line, is nonsensical.
Dr Gideon Polya has a habit of pulling things out of his hat. His invasion list of the US was just as absurd.
Have a...
It is a pity that the world's most studied genocide still attracts so many people that either deny or play down the Holocaust, spending so much energy/copy-pasting in an attempt to rewrite history. Based on my own inquiry of the Holocaust, reading books that use primary sources, I have to...
Your post is way off tangent filled with straw-men (when did I talk about nuking Muslims?), and using the Islamophobia card ad nausea. My contention was not to be drawn in a debate about the intricacies of Islamic theology and Sharia, but to call you out on your natural way of thinking that you...
I was talking about the need to have an open mind.
All people and cultures of the world have their own doctrines, beliefs and teachings and each should be seen as valid in its own right. Each of us can learn from other views and peoples and none of us have all the answers, know or act 100%...
Preachers like yourself expose a side of certain Muslims - unfortunately a sizeable chunk - to be unthinking, unbending, uncompromising and unable to come to table viewing others and their beliefs as equals and equally valid. Treating others as equals is essential making progress towards peace...
You and others like you celebrate the fact that non-Muslim people will have imposed upon them what you wish, that breaks the Golden Rule of Morality that many of your more moderate co-religionists try to convey in the world. It is the measure of how a being behaves. You behave poorly...what are...
There are some indications that most them leave the faith after a few years. The same trend has been observed in the US, where 75% of the converts leave Islam within three years.
Confessions of an ex-Muslim
Over 100,000 people in Britain converted to Islam between 2001-2011, yet it is believed...
Well, people tend to have a narrow-minded view when dealing with their own history, but I believe there is more self-introspection and acknowledgement among Westerners in academic circles and school curricula about the historical wrongdoings as distinct from the non-Western world.
I can...
What a strange way to do God's will. Chances are these escaped women and traumatised children are more likely to become atheist after seeing so much death and destruction at first hand than turning to Islam....
It is a much rehearsed straw-man by neo-Nazis that you can find on their sites. The Holocaust denier or negationist distorts the opponents argument (6 million Jews have been gassed) for the purpose of more easily attacking it, levels the argument, and then concludes that the opponents real...
My wallet once fell out of my pocket at the Central station and I was tapped on my shoulder behind me by someone who gave it back to me. I think he was of Pakistani origin. I doubt my wallet would have been returned to me if it was one of those notorious North-African youth or Roma gypsies. On...
Music that is pumping me up? At the moment the tune in this Dexter finale teaser. Very motivative to watch the end of a great series.
