"He Must Be Joking: Biden Says ‘Iranian Influence in Iraq Is Minimal’"

September 2, 2010 by Richard E. Coleson

Mainstream Islam's Shariah Agenda

August 24, 2010 by Richard E. Coleson

"‘Secularism can never enjoy a general acceptance in an Islamic society.” The writer was . . . Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual guide and a favorite of the Saudi royal family. . . . This was . . . the 'progressive' Muslim intellectual, much loved by Georgetown University’s burgeoning Islamic-studies programs.
