Speaking The Truth About Jihad
IT IS an intellectual scandal that, since September 11, 2001, scholars at American universities have repeatedly and all but unanimously issued public statements that avoid or whitewash the primary meaning of jihad in Islamic law and Muslim history. It is quite as if historians of medieval Europe were to deny that the word “crusade” ever […]
Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide
Review of Islam and Dhimmitude: where civilizations collide. Bat Ye’or. Fairleigh Dickinson University Press. 2002.

Evangelism: Homophobia Is A Serious Barrier
From an Australian netfriend: Before I begin my email, am I the only person wondering if Fred Nile receives his salary from the guild of atheists?
