Trump’s Syria Fumble Right Out of Obama’s Playbook
By JONATHAN FELDSTEIN
I will never forget the first time I realize that Barack Obama was clueless about the Middle East. I was traveling in the US during the 2008 campaign. An Obama commercial stuck with me like a bone in my throat. In speaking about the Middle East he said something to the effect of ‘we will withdraw our troops and end …

MIDDLE EAST FORUM: The Double-Edged Sword of Jihad By RAYMOND IBRAHIM
Islamic nations are again learning that the jihad is a volatile instrument of war that can easily backfire on those who preach it; that “holy war” is hardly limited to fighting and subjugating “infidels”—whether the West in general, Israel in particular, or the millions of non-Muslim minorities under Islam—but can also be used to fight “apostates,” that is, Muslims accused …
Ed Koch Commentary: Tolerance Must Be a Two-Way Street BY Edward I. Koch
What should we do to deal with people like Pastor Terry Jones who threaten to burn the Koran?
