Terror: Universally Islamic

By Mustang on 6/28/2005

I was reading a post at Jihad Watch yesterday. In simple straight-forward terms, Mr. Spencer said:
Ever since I began doing this work publicly my point has been simple and consistent: that the jihad terrorists are working from mainstream traditions and numerous Qur’anic exhortations, and that by means of these traditions and teachings they are able [...]

The Left is Wrong!

By Mustang on 6/16/2005

The war on terror is really much more than just an American war; it is not just the United States who has been attacked by Muslim extremists. We know that Israel has been under attack for years, and thousands of innocent people have lost their lives at the hands of barbarians so dedicated to their [...]

In his book entitled Comes the Millennium, Jack Blake states, “the grand American experiment in individual freedom is in imminent danger from within, and the enemy is our own gullibility.” But Mr. Blake’s book is about his view that American intolerance and the political aggression of fundamentalist Christians is the principal threat to the ideals [...]

Truth is a diminishing attribute

By Mustang on 5/31/2005

In 1871, Albert Pike wrote of social morality when he said,
“Truth, in act, profession, and opinion, is rarer now than in the days of chivalry. Falsehood has become a current coin, and circulates with a certain degree of respectability; because it has an actual value. It is indeed the great vice of the age—it, [...]
