The Nation of Islam (NOI), America’s quasi-Islamic organization, has a policy where members change their names from a Christian genealogy to a Muslim nomenclature. Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the NOI from the 1930's to 1975, devised the scheme that members must demonstrate they are worthy of respectable Muslim names. While awaiting this formal name, the member carries the surname “X” to symbolize the shedding of the slave master’s name, and demonstrate acceptance that an o

In my unpublished manuscript, Jefferson Must Be Turning in His Grave, I address the Islamic "Golden Age." Islamic scholars have often referred to that period from the eighth century to the fifteenth century as their Golden Age. Ironically, while the Muslims were experiencing explosive growth in knowledge, European countries were going through the dark ages where the Catholic Church ruthlessly controlled scientific knowledge (remember, the Church accused Galileo of heresy for

President Erdogan of Turkey is trying to restore Turkey’s greatness in the Islamic world. Some of the things he has done reflect the Ottoman empire’s role as the Caliphate of Islam. Most recently, he has been intervening in the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict as Azerbaijan’s sponsor. If you remember, the Armenian massacre back in 1915 was a direct response by Turks to rid themselves of the Christian “problem.” Other recent escapades include interventions in Libya and Syria. On t

According to three Muslim advocacy groups, more than half of all Muslim-American candidates for public office won their respective races. The individuals ran in competitions that spanned 24 states and Washington, D.C. According to The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Jetpac, and MPower Change, of the 110 Muslim-Americans who ran for various posts, 57 emerged victoriously. If we include primary elections that weed out weaker candidates from any given party, roughl

There has been much discussion of late about pulling our troops out of that central Asian nation. An interesting article by Seth G. Jones in the Nov/Dec 2020 issue of the CTC Sentinel explores this dilemma. One side of the argument says that the U.S. has no vital security interests in that far away country, and that the conflict has been going on for 19 years with no resolution. In essence, it appears we will keep troops there for the benefit of the globalists who want to kee

Of the 1.8 billion Muslims on the planet, the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimates the number of Jihadis between 100,000 and 230,000 across 70 countries. Approximately one Muslim out of 10,000 has taken the step to become a “holy warrior.” The term “jihadi” was initially used in the Arab media and was coined by a devout Saudi cleric who was hostile to those who had exceeded Islamic boundaries of jihad. Westerners see these holy warriors as terrorists, but
