Dear editor, There is a frenzy of flummery about Islam in this newspaper, on radio and television, and even from pulpits across America. I suspect most of it comes from people who never actually met a Muslim. We Americans used to be a people who challenged ignorance and prejudice, but perhaps that noble sentiment died …

Abracadabra
Thanks. Very interesting. Finally, a few Americans are starting to get a clue how dangerously wacky this premillennial stuff is. Kinda funny when it’s a bunch of hillbillies playing with snakes. Not so funny when it dictates foreign policy and kills hundreds of thousands and dispossesses millions more. Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 2:37 PM …

Glenn Beck is a Nazi
Glenn Beck is a Nazi. That he is allowed to spew his hateful venom on CNN shows you how much the news industry has prostituted itself to corporate interests. Whether or not you wish to equate corporate interests with Jewish cabals and Zionist agendas is up to you. I will not ask whether you are …

Open letter to Mike Huckabee

A grand idea?
Friends, Several years ago, I dreamed up an idea to counter the misinformation routinely propagated about Arabs in general, and Muslims in particular. Some of you asked about the state of the project last week at the DC reunion, and reiterated how badly it was needed. Others asked my parents about it the week before …

For your consideration
Good letter, but the worst of it is the massive loss of Iraqi life, the mass exodus of Iraq’s best-educated and experienced citizens, the unending lack of basic civil infrastructure throughout Iraq, and (worst of all for us Americans who don’t really care about anyone but lily-white Anglo-Christians) the establishment of a “terrorism incubator” that will hatch …

How bad is it?
If you’re wondering what Prince George has wrought in the hinterland, far from his royal throne, read the following guest editorial that appeared in our local paper last Saturday. It was written by a federal government employee, the current superintendent of Hot Springs National Park (http://www.nps.gov/hosp/). I’m still mulling over a response, but I already …
