Suppose also that is was highly unfashionable and politically incorrect to speak out against them.
I am not speaking of Islam here, but of Communism. The current wave of censorship and denial toward Islam is not a new development. It is rather a very old one.

I think the choice of pigs as the ruling caste will no doubt give offence to many people, and particularly to anyone who is a bit touchy, as undoubtedly the Russians are

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/housing-diminishing-returns-and-opportunity-cost The Fed’s policies of keeping interest rates at zero and buying mortgage-backed securities are intended, we’re assured, to bolster the housing market by making it cheaper for buyers to borrow money.

It is an immobilizing question, a query that was once only whispered: Could certain Iranian leaders, including President Ahmadinejad, be seeking nuclear weapons in order to deliberately bring about an apocalyptic “end of days?” Might these leaders be planning a religiously-mandated and possibly nuclear Final Battle […]

Israel, ‘Palestine,’ and the Law Of War (First of two parts) For the moment, at least, a state of Palestine does not exist. Historically, of course, such a country has never existed. Nonetheless, current supporters of Palestinian statehood (sometimes Jews as well as Arabs) have discovered substantial practical benefit in persistently referring to Israel and […]
