The Five Top Ways to Abuse Religious Freedom

Last update August 10, 2013

With John Kerry parading around the Middle East we are sure to hear a few vacuous remarks about religious freedom from a part of the world where the idea has no meaning. Americans are loath to rethink religious freedom and even insist it be imposed worldwide on those who don’t have the slightest notion what we are referring to and who would be angry if they figured it out.

If America Was Muslim, Foreign Relations Would be Easy

Last update February 3, 2014

Wow. President Obama got a medal from Israel. That must have been a comfortable moment, put on the spot on Israeli turf with a vow to defend the small¹ against longtime Muslim foes. The president knows that whatever happens in the Middle East, the U.S.

Why Give Muslim Countries Confidence in an American Decline?

Last update December 4, 2017

Add Xenophobia to Our List of American Values

Last update September 16, 2012

The anniversary of the 2001 Islamic terrorist attacks was accompanied by rioting, violence, and killing of Americans in the Middle East, and the news that our president will not be meeting with Israel’s prime minister during Mr. Netanyahu’s trip to the U.S.
