Building Mosque after conquest
Reader comment on: Building Mosques on Sacred Sites of Defeated Enemies a Symbol of Conquest
Submitted by Ric Wattie, Sep 3, 2010 06:39
The symbolism involved in building this mosque is critical. In choosing the location so proximal to Ground Zero, they are testing the waters to find out how strong their grip is on the control of our country. If this mosque goes up, it will be a victory. The people need to stand up, and deny them access to the site. More of us need to talk about the symbolism of this from the Muslim perspective.

Most of all, we have to use reason and logic and broaden the use of ijtihad – individual reasoning in religious affairs.
The Sheiks and WMD
by Ali Salim
Any sheikh, acting as a mouthpiece for a Middle Eastern regime, will be able to provide an Islamic seal of approval for the use of chemical and nuclear weapons. Verse 60 from the Surah Al-Anfal of the Qur'an permits the use of any and every weapon a Muslim can acquire that can frighten and deter an enemy of Islam.
Switzerland: Multicultural Paradise?
by Soeren Kern
In March, the Swiss Federal Intelligence Service announced that a growing number of jihadists are being recruited in Switzerland.
