The terrorists in Afghanistan have taken their fight to little girls. How brave! In a small, sunlit parlor last week, 20 little girls seated on rush mats sketched a flower drawn on the blackboard. In a darker interior room, 15 slightly older girls memorized passages from the Koran, reciting aloud. Upstairs was a class of…

Those are the words of Maurice R. Greenberg who spoke with Ahmadinejad recently at the Council on Foreign Relations meeting, where Ahmadinejad spoke: Q: Give us more insight on the man himself.

So, yesterday I thought, “I better get going and write my Revelation Bible study!” Yes, I know it was a little late and yes, I know that I should have started it weeks ago but I’ve been feeling particularly lazy lately. Half way into writing it, I get a really bad sinus headache and I…

I really don’t like the idea of the government invading my privacy by taking pictures of me in my backyard but I think this just made it worse. It’s a picture of a guy (I think it’s a guy) sunbathing posted by Google Earth. We are so ripe to be taken over for a totalitarian…

Do you think they realize how insane this sounds: Muslims in Hamas-controlled Gaza have formed an ad hoc terrorist group promising to attack Christian targets to avenge the Pope’s choice of a quotation insinuating that Islam is prone to violence. The group, which calls itself the “Army of guidance,” sent an announcement to news agencies…

We have to be diligent in this fight or we run the risk of this happening here: Somali Christian sources report Ali Mustaf Maka`il, a 22-year-old college student and cloth merchant who converted from Islam to Christianity 11 months ago, was shot and killed in the Manabolyo quarter of Mogadishu.
