Is this a joke? It doesn’t seem possible that this is for real. Was this story concocted by the enemies of ISIS to make them look like monsters? Because I just don’t want to believe any human beings are actually this odious: ISIS is trying to sell the remains of beheaded journalist James Foley to his parents or […]

Horror of horrors! Ban Christianity yesterday! According to the, typically, daft author of this boilerplate inflammatory exposé: But there is a long history of terrorist attacks resembling McQuilliams’ rampage across Austin — […]

But there was a time when the Islamic Umayyad armies had taken over a huge swath of the ancient world, reaching from India all the way to the Iberian Peninsula. That’s where Spain is. In […]

But it was nice for Obama to make it explicit: [Obama’s] remarks came after days of heated debate inside the top levels of his own national security bureaucracy […]

Another man, Samir Khan, also died in that drone strike, though he had not been targeted. This particular drone strike caused quite an uproar in the legal community.
