Plastic isn`t Fantastic When Used as Invisible Shrapnel

You wouldn't believe what is killing and maiming people in Palestine.

(SALEM, Ore.) - This article is about war-related issues in Palestine that are missing the radar in western newsrooms.

Islamophobia Erupting

Reports of a number of incidents in the past year or so strongly reveal a spike in anti-Muslim hate crimes.

(BAHRAIN) - In an earlier article I noted that evangelic preacher Pat Robertson, David Gaubatz, Paul Sperry and Daniel Pipes are Islamophobic cult leaders who take every opportunity they can to vilify Islam and Muslims.
