The earth revolves around the sun
Reader comment on: Militant Muslims Cutting Out Tongues
Submitted by Joseph E., Nov 12, 2012 12:14
Galileo Galilei's position that proved the earth revolves around the sun and is not the center of the universe, as had been believed, represented such a radical departure from accepted thought that he was denounced to the Inquisition for blasphemous utterances. He was tried by the Inquisition in Rome, ordered to recant, and forced to spend the last eight years of his life under house arrest.

U.S.: Israel's Prosperity a Problem
by Shoshana Bryen
Under the circumstances, the U.S. would do better to tell the Palestinians there is no deal to be had unless they -- both the Fatah and Hamas -- demonstrably accommodate the reality that Israel is a legitimate, permanent part of the region.

by Clare M. Lopez
Two years into the seismic shift that brought the forces of Islamic jihad and Sharia law to power in country after country in the Middle East and North Africa -- with the astonishing and extensive assistance from the U.S. -- Iran, Hizballah and al-Qa'eda apparently judge that the U.S. and its Western allies still need another nudge to ensure their complete retreat from "Muslim" lands. That nudge, according to independent, reliable and mutually-corroborating sources, has now been prepared by this Axis.
