Are American citizens fair game for extrajudicial assassination?
The Los Angeles Times says the CIA wants to kill a US citizen, Islamic scholar Anwar al-Awlaki, with a predator drone. They don’t want to, or can’t, produce any evidence that he has committed a crime. They just want to kill him. We all know that if al-Awlaki were an accused Jewish terrorist or animal-rights terrorist or anti-abortion terrorist, he…
Read MoreTired of Hate Week yet?
In George Orwell’s novel 1984, the people of Oceana spent one week each year being whipped into a purple froth of fury against a government-designated enemy. Our neocon rulers could teach Orwell’s Party a few lessons. In today’s USA, Hate Week has gone on for almost a decade. The enemy, of course, is Islam in general, and Muslims who dare…
Read MoreAsk a former Islamic terrorist
During my recent debate with evangelical Islamophobe Walid Shoebat (listen here) I noticed that he responds to all questions with pretty much the same set of stock answers. When asked about the Illuminati, the differences between the different monotheistic scriptures, or the definition of terrorism in general, Shoebat’s answer was always the same: “Blah blah blah Islamic terrorism.” Since Shoebat…
Read MoreShowdown with Shoebat!
I debated Walid Shoebat, self-styled “ex-Muslim-terrorist” turned Evangelical Islamophobe, on the Power Hour with Joyce Riley today. Listen here. Walid’s schtick is beyond belief in more ways than one. Imagine what would happen if a Christian convert from Judaism went on a PR blitz with millions of dollars backing him, spreading imaginary stories about having slurped up Christian babies’ blood…

Bestselling author works his jaws, not his brain, in a fierce, primitive attack on yours truly My essay “The Myth of 9/11”, published in a book I co-edited with theologian John Cobb and Jewish Studies professor Sandra Lubarsky, compared 9/11 to Hitler’s Reichstag Fire. When an AP reporter called to ask if I was comparing Bush to Hitler, I said…

Some folks in the 9/11 truth movement (example) have been very slow to realize that there is no evidence than any actual hijackings took place on 9/11, and abundant evidence that no such hijackings occurred. (I’m talking about hijackings by human beings not acting as part of a drill–there may well have been remote-control “hijackings” or bogus hijackings by people…

Read MoreWho’s the Terrorist? Al-Balawi’s attack on CIA terrorists is NOT terrorism, it’s counter-terrorism
The great Palestinian hip-hop group DAM (I met them in person last year during their stop in Madison) are famous for asking min irhabi — Who’s the Terrorist? Let’s apply that question to Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, who recently carried out a successful martyrdom operation against a group of CIA agents in Afghanistan. Time Magazine reports: “So why did al-Balawi,…
