A Crescent Among the Crosses

On Monday, America’s Right published an article by John Pratt which posed the question: Can One Simultaneously be a Good Muslim and a Good American? Today, the editors of America’s Right would like to answer that question directly. The answer: Yes. Anyone seeking insight into the relationship between Islam and American patriotism may want to [...]

Can One Simultaneously be a Good Muslim and a Good American?

NOTE: Read the Editors’ response to this controversial piece HERE. Can one simultaneously be a good Muslim and a good American? In the context of the story of Pfc. Naser Abdo, an infantryman who joined the U.S. Army a year ago and just this past June filed for conscientious objector status on grounds that his [...]

“…cleared for the flight…” (with update)

Okie dokie, so let me get this straight. On Sunday, it was hot enough here in Charleston that I burned my feet on the sidewalk outside our apartment while walking our dog.  A few hundred miles to the west, in Birmingham, Alabama, the high temperature reached near ninety degrees despite rain.  At the airport there [...]

The Mall? The Ball Game?

Human Events: A.W.R. Hawkins: Where Will You Be When You Hear ‘Allahu Akbar’? As United Airlines flight 93 dove toward the ground on September 11, 2001, the hijackers piloting the plane could be heard shouting “Allahu Akbar.” In 2004, as other Muslim terrorists beheaded American Nick Berg, shouts of “Allahu Akbar” accompanied the sawing at [...]

Krauthammer on the NYC Mosque

National Review: Charles Krauthammer: Sacrilege at Ground Zero A place is made sacred by a widespread belief that it was visited by the miraculous or the transcendent (Lourdes, the Temple Mount), by the presence there once of great nobility and sacrifice (Gettysburg), or by the blood of martyrs and the indescribable suffering of the innocent [...]

Thy Will be Done

A test of wills — that’s going to be the manner in which this nation’s current, volatile political climate will ultimately be determined. Those with the staying power to see this struggle through to the end will decide the course of our future. If I were a betting man, of course, I’d go straight to [...]

‘Right’ vs. ‘Should’

Why is it that so many people cannot distinguish between a right, and doing what’s right? The First Amendment to the United States Constitution clearly protects our freedom to worship and freedom to associate. Our founders and those before them came here to the New World in an attempt to eschew religion-based discrimination, and pointedly [...]

Perpetual Indignation Machine

The United States Patent Office gets so many applications for patents on perpetual motion machines that they now reject all such applications outright unless they come with a working prototype.  Which, of course, there aren’t a lot of.  Something about the second law of thermodynamics or some such. Now a perpetual indignation machine, on the [...]

Obama’s Wild Imagination

No, Mr. President. The beheading of Daniel Pearl–a young, successful American journalist, husband and new father–on video with a dull, rusty knife did not “capture the world’s imagination.” It captured anger and rage from the deepest recesses of our being. It did not show us “the importance of a free press.” It showed us how [...]

Typical Mark Steyn Brilliance

National Review Online: Nicking Our Public Discourse “You see, you say ‘radical Islam,’” objected Holder. “I mean, I think those people who espouse a — a version of Islam that is not . . . ” “Are you uncomfortable attributing any actions to radical Islam?” asked Smith. “It sounds like it.” And so on, and so forth. At Ford [...]
