Time to set some limits (Islam)
Time to set some limits By Pamela Bone July 18, 2005 For the past two years Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammad has preached in a London mosque, calling for Muslims to wage a holy war against Britain. Seemingly no one in tolerant, free-speech Britain has thought it a good idea to stop him. At a public […]
Islam and Shame
The Shame of It Fawaz Turrki Terrorism has had a bad press recently. That is, literally. One’s concern here is to explain that no discerning analysis of the origins, complexity and nature of terrorist acts in our time, perpetrated by individual Arabs, has yet surfaced in the public debate; and how marginal the “essentialism” of […]
Understanding Islam: another response
Athanasius wrote: His article is well written and well thought out. However, I believe he failed miserably in achieving anything worthwhile.

She is guilty of the deaths […]
Bad times for Christianity?
MISSION HORIZONS EDITORIAL, JUNE 2005 BAD TIMES? Now I know that farmers have had a genuinely difficult time with drought recently.
