Religion, Church and State

Obama Submits America To Islam
by Edward Cline
(June 22, 2009)
America and Islam are not only 'exclusive,' but political and philosophical antipodes.

Separating State and Church
by Sylvia Bokor
(June 19, 2009)
Unless we want to return to Medieval times, we must uphold the freedom of everyone to worship as they choose, or not. Which means we must keep separate church and state.

The United States Of America And Islam Have Nothing Fundamental In Common
by Andy Clarkson
(June 7, 2009)
President Obama's error is in attributing "Islam" to the accomplishments of the Arab world of a thousand years ago. The president couldn't be more wrong.

The Easter Masquerade: Why Religion Must Clash with Science
by Keith Lockitch
(April 10, 2009)
A variety of public figures--from prominent scientists to the Pope--have promoted the view that science and religion are not adversaries but complementary and mutually supporting fields. "Truth cannot contradict truth," they declare, implying that the truths discovered by reasoning from sensory evidence cannot clash with the "truths" of religious dogma. A closer look, however, reveals the long history of the hostility of faith towards reason--which continues to this day. Violent clashes between the two are not only possible but unavoidable, and the notion that religion can coexist on friendly terms with science and reason is false.

Bill Maher's Movie Religulous
by Andy Clarkson
(October 8, 2008)
Bless Bill Maher for making this film. At the same time, curse him for doing nothing more than continuing the mindless battle between mysticism and skepticism -- and failing to highlight reason as the antidote to both.

On The Rise of Islamic Rule in Turkey
by John David Lewis

Genuine reform of Islam cannot occur without challenging the Koran itself.

The Dalai Lama: Dumb and Dumber
by Nicholas Provenzo
(March 23, 2008)
Under the Dalai Lama it seems clear that an ostensively "free" Tibet would be Marxist and if that's true, that horror would be far worse than anything the Chinese could hope to unleash.

Islamic States and Thought Crimes: The Thug's Ideal
by John David Lewis
(March 20, 2008)
Islamic governments, as ideological states founded on claims to divine revelation, must jail-or worse-those who speak out against the clerics. This was the thug's ideal: In lieu of rationally demonstrating the 'truth' of his beliefs, he would criminalize me, or jail me, or perhaps kill me, to stop the spread of ideas contrary to his. In Iran, this ideal has already been achieved; there I would have been arrested, condemned, and thrown into solitary confinement. But in America, the thug's ideal is frustrated; without the power of the law to silence me he was reduced to name-calling.

The Myth of the "Peace-Loving Muslims"
by Walter Williams
(March 19, 2008)
There is no way terrorists can carry on their operations, obtain explosive materials, run terrorist training camps, raise money without the knowledge of other Muslims, whether they're government officials, bankers, family members, friends or neighbors. Because those millions of peace-loving Muslims do not speak out and expose terrorists and don't more fully cooperate with domestic and international authorities trying to stop terrorists, they become enemies of the West just as the peace-loving people in Germany, Italy and Japan became enemies of the Allied powers during World War II.
