Democracy's 'War on Islam' is exactly the war Islamic terrorists have been hoping to ignite, and we must not let them succeed. It is time for peaceful, ordinary Muslim Americans to put their collective foot down.
Had it been a Christian or a Jew who slaughtered thirteen people in one mad frenzy, I doubt there would have been much psycho-analysis of the murderer and his motives. It was a ghastly criminal act, period.
Never has there been a more important time for Muslims to engage in greater introspection, self-evaluation. We face a Muslim world rife with conflicts, sectarian hatred, misogyny and injustice.
Should someone be thrown out of the army if their business card identifies the bearer as an "SOA" (soldier of Allah)? Probably not, but that, along w...
"Polio is only a plane ride away." So began my sobering interview with Carol Pandak, Manager of PolioPlus for Rotary International about polio, a cr...
As President Obama arrives in Tokyo, he finds himself, strangely enough, at the epicenter of the latest in the war of words between Christianity and I...
For Obama, the ability to showcase our justice system in a case involving one of the world's most reviled accused terrorists represents an important opportunity to define America before history and the world.
I am shocked, but should I really be? Yesterday the Illinois GOP issued a press release baselessly accusing a respected Islamic civil rights organization of being anti-Semitic.
Today, the culmination of more than a year's work was unveiled as the Charter for Compassion was officially introduced in Washington, D.C. Read the Charter and join people around the world in affirming it.
Nearly a year after Saudi King Abdullah warned religious scholars that issuing careless fatwas gives extremists credibility, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs has finally said enough is enough.
Mass murders have become a depressingly familiar punctuation in the rhythm of modern day American despair.
Without rushing to prejudicial conclusions, after all, we do need to consider the possibility that Nidal Malik Hasan's Muslim faith played a major role, if not necessarily the dominant one, in what happened.
Why was Hasan not booted out of the service he so ungratefully and desperately wanted to leave? In the absence of concrete answers, the media is left to speculate.
I spoke today with a friend who is a Muslim soldier stationed at Fort Hood. He and Hasan prayed side-by-side at the mosque the morning of the massacre. He agreed to share his story with me if I granted him anonymity.
FOX and Friends hosts twice implied on their show that this is some kind of Muslim problem. There are thousands of American Muslims serving in the military right now, and many have given their lives.
I am concerned that this incident will cause some Americans to react against Muslims. Our fellow Americans should understand that every major American Muslim organization has condemned it.
Seven messages and counting on my voice mail from different Bay Area reporters, all wanting to know the Muslim community's reaction about the recent heinous killings of Nidal Malik Hasan.
How severe a threat does the Taliban pose to America? Blithely assuming that they would never again play host to America's sworn enemies is not a risk progressives should be prepared to take.

While media attention in Iraq and Afghanistan focuses on car bombings and combat casualties, other disturbing events in the region are slipping through the news cycle almost unnoticed.
This year in Istanbul, the flags on Republic Day seemed extra large. It wasn't a special anniversary year. Turkey was celebrating its 86th year as a modern secular state.
