Who knew what about Nidal Malik Hasan?

I thought I would not be revisiting the shooting at Fort Hood so soon, but as the investigation into what happened begins to unfold, I think there are some things that merit mentioning.
First of all, the shooting at Fort Hood had nothing to do with post traumatic stress syndrome, secondhand or otherwise. It is becoming [...]

Fort Hood – Questions and answers

As the aftermath of the shooting at Fort Hood begins to unfold and more details are released, one thing is apparent. There are a lot of questions and no so many answers. It is now known that Major Nidal Malik Hasan is still alive and is in stable condition. The female civilian police officer who [...]

Rabbis With Guns?

No, not in Israel. Right here in New York City. The NY Post had a remarkable front page photo of six rabbis in a synagogue with guns pointed in proper firing position with a screaming headline “Chosen Guns” (a wordplay on ‘chosen ones’) and a subheadline saying “Don’t mess with rabbis’ God squad!” The teaser [...]

Little Rock shooting suspect pleads not guilty

Should this turn of events surprise us? Abdulhakim Muhammad, the suspect who has been detained in the shooting death of an Army recruiter and wounding of another in Little Rock, AR has pleaded not guilty, even though he was basically caught red handed and has actually admitted to the shooting. He reasons the shooting death [...]

President Obama speaks to the Muslim world

President Obama has been planning to give this speech for quite some time, since well before he won the election in November and moved into the White House. He has made it very clear he wants a new beginning with the Muslim world and he said as much in his speech in Cairo, Egypt. From [...]

Israel’s religious war in Gaza

I have always been a very strong supporter of Israel and it’s right to self defense, but my overall support for Israel has declined since the three week operation known as Cast Lead in December 2008 and January 2009. This is in no way a statement of support for Hamas and the despicable actions they take concerning the rocket or suicide attacks into Israel, but rather a questioning of how Israel is responding to those attacks.

Muslims removed from airplane on New Year’s Day

On New Year’s Day, nine Muslims were removed from an AirTran plane that was to leave from Washington, D.C., bound for Florida. The reason given for their removal was a conversation that was overheard by another passenger, between Atif Irfan and his wife and sister-in-law. From ABC News:

At the same time, the five were found not guilty of attempted murder in the same case. At the heart of the case is this question. Were the defendants manipulated into [...]

Christianity takes a backseat to Islam

I came across an article the other day that made me cringe and then made me want to stand up and declare just how mixed up and wrong something like this is. I had just about decided to not write an article about it, but this morning, Pastor Ron, over at From Preacherpen’s Desk, wrote [...]

Making a mistake against Barack Obama

Back in March, I wrote an article called His name is Mike Huckabee, not Hucka (whatever). I was trying to draw attention to what I felt was the unfair usage of Huckabee’s name.  Never have I seen a political candidate’s name subjected to such butchery.  I believe Barack Obama has been subjected to some [...]
