While listening to NPR on Sunday, October 9, 2020, at 1:25 PM Pacific Time, I heard the NPR announcer mention the “anti-Muslim killings some years ago in Chapel Hill.” This dreamy bit of misinformation, so offhandedly delivered (as if no one could disagree), startled me. And not for the first time. On February 10, 2016, […]
Robert Spencer in Human Events: Duke Prof: Islam Has ‘Clear Emphasis on the Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life’
Just one problem: 1,400 years of history and present-day reality show that it doesn’t.
