Reza Aslan says he has spent twenty years “really trying to mold my life” after Jesus — “He truly is my hero”
As I’ve said many times, the politically correct media makes heroes out of people not because what they say is true or good, but because they reflect the views they want people to adopt — even if the objects of their affection are utter mediocrities or worse. So it is in this case. “I became […]

Abbas: “In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli – civilian or soldier – on our lands”

Major attack on Pakistani prison holding Taliban jihadis
Al Qaeda released 500 in Iraq last week. This could be 250 more. Note that the gunmen were wearing police uniforms — which means they were either police, which could well be since there is no effort made to keep jihadis out of such groups, or were just deceiving their targets.
