Islamic Jihad - The Just War !

It's not every day that religion appears as a front page story in today's newspapers all over the world, particularly on a regular basis! But over the past 20 years one religion has really made the front pages perhaps more than any other . . . it is the religion of Islam.


Is Islam a Tolerant Religion? - Part 3

On two previous occasions (9 July and 30 June, 2006,) I shared with the readers of this website a very timely topic that is being discussed on www.Elaph.com It is quite a courageous enterprise on the part of an Arab intellectual to write on such a sensitive subject as “Is Islam a Tolerant Religion?” The author has returned for the third time to the subject, being encouraged by the positive response of some of his readers.


Hezbullah Chief Nasrullah Receives Nobel Prize

My old car works like a freelance writer; it only works when it wants to. The old engine also has a tendency of falling sleep at stop signs, which it just did. But I am used to this, so with the help of a kind gentleman I manage to push the car into a parking lot.


Darfur: Shame on Black Muslims!

During the recent Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon, Muslims here in Nigeria's Islamic North demonstrated in support of the Shiite terror group. Several months ago, Muslims again here in northern Nigeria massacred hundreds of non-Muslims in response to Danish cartoons. Five years ago, when America attacked the Taliban in response to 9/11, Muslims in Kano, northern Nigeria orchestrated a bloodbath of non-Muslims. In the past, there have also been numerous demonstrations and protests in support of the Palestinian cause here in northern Nigeria.

Britain’s Ignorant & Dangerous Policy toward Somalian Pirates: Don’t Do a Medina!

Somalian Islamic pirates have, in recent years, steadily increased their attacks on merchant-ships in the busy Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, which has reached critical level in recent months, making the smooth operation of international trades difficult. Although American cargo-ships spared until recently, the pirates, increasingly emboldened as they have become, dared raiding an American cargo-ship, capturing its captain, Richard Phillips, on Wednesday (April 8, 2009).

Algerians Turning Away from Islam

By Jacob Thomas The early Islamic Futuhat resulted in the disappearance of the Christian Church in North Africa. That tragedy took place in a part of the world that, prior to the rise of Islam, had a strong Christian presence. One of the greatest North African Christians was Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430). It was his legacy that contributed to the rise of the Protestant Reformation. Early in January, 2009, I read on the online daily aafaq, a report datelined Algiers that dealt with a growing number of young Algerians turning away from Islam, and embracing the Christian faith.
