Amidst all of the complaining and bickering over how unbalanced and biased the American media is, one of the greatest American Journalists, NBC’s Tim Russert passed away unexpectantly earlier today. Tim Russert, along with Bill Moyers and only a handful of other journalists, in my mind truly perfectly exemplify what it means to be a […]

Great ESPN story on an athlete’s responsibility to take a stand and why many refrain from discussing political issues publicly. Kudos to atheletes like Steve Nash who stand up against the war and human rights violations in Sudan. And its inspiring to see LeBron James, who at such a young age, is willing to […]

In a rather disturbing op-ed piece in the NYTimes earlier this week, Edward N Luttwak suggested that Barack Obama, whose father was Muslim, was an apostate. He suggests that due to his apostacy, he would in fact not be viewed favorably in the eyes of the Muslim world, and that he would receive death threats […]

Four Ways to Partner with Pakistan
By Arif Rafiq
The need to redefine our relationship with Pakistan – a nuclear-armed, frontline state in the war on terror – has never been greater. Now there is considerable opportunity to do so.
U.S. Senate Democrats issued a letter to President George W. […]

Wow… i cant believe it took them this long to figure this out…
Nonetheless, it is great that the US Government has finally realized this and will i’A incorporate this into their language. Not only may these misappropriately used words (jihad, mujahideen, etc.) promote extremists to take on these misconstrued conceptions of these […]

Perhaps not surprising, the majority of Americans (66%) admit to having at least some prejudice against Muslims; one in five say they have “a great deal” of prejudice. Almost half do not […]

April Fool! The Purpose of Pranks
By BENEDICT CAREY
Keep it above the belt, stop short of total humiliation and, if possible, mix in some irony, some drama, maybe even a bogus call from the person’s old flame or new boss. A good prank, of course, involves […]

And to think, there are probably hundreds of cases of […]
