  • Obama’s History ?01: “Islam Has Been Woven Into the Fabric of Our Country Since Its Founding”

    By Selwyn Duke You’ve probably never heard of Founding Fathers named Gamal bin Washington and Thamar Jefferson, and neither has Barack Obama. But this didn’t stop him from making the claim that “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding.” While speaking in the White House’s South Court Auditorium during…

  • The Modern Crusaders Fighting ISIS

    By Selwyn Duke You might have heard about those people hailing from Western countries going off to fight where ISIS reigns. Or maybe not. No, these aren’t the jihadists who speak flawless French or English and leave the comfort of their Occidental cocoon to aid the Islamic State terrorists. Rather, they’re driven by a desire…

  • Terrible Deeds in Christ’s Name? Obama Displays Ignorance of History

    By Selwyn Duke Barack Obama (shown at National Prayer Breakfast) certainly makes his share of mistakes, from believing there’s a language called “Austrian” to claiming to have been to “57 states” to pronouncing “corpsman” “corpse-man” three times in the space of one minute. But while many of his displays of ignorance hurt mainly his own…

  • Whither Islam? Religion of Peace or Religion of War?

    By Selwyn Duke "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.” — Koran (8:15) Every holy book contains some very unholy words, they say. If you presented certain select verses from the Bible in isolation, it would seem equally violent,…

  • Michelle Obama in 1954

    By Selwyn Duke Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco — and Michelle Obama left her brain in 1954. Addressing graduating high-school students the other day in the Topeka, Kansas, school district, the federal lunch lady said, referring to the Brown v. Board of Education decision, “[Y]our experience here in Topeka would have been…

  • Twisting Children’s Minds with School Textbooks

    By Selwyn Duke If you saw a book stating that America was not a republic but a democracy, that a role of our government was to “socialize the young,” and with a picture labeled “Muslim scholars studying with the Greek philosopher Aristotle,” you might think it was a work of bad fiction, not an American…

  • We Might be Muslim Today if….

    By Selwyn Duke The year is 632 A.D., and Muslim hordes have set their sights on the Mideast and North Africa — the old Christian world. And the Caliphate, as the Islamic realm is called, will not be denied. Syria and Iraq fall in 636. Palestine is next in 638. And Byzantine Egypt and North…

  • The Left Shows Its True, Violent Colors

    By Selwyn Duke It isn’t entirely true that, as Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” It’s often the case that power simply allows people the luxury of lowering façades and showing their true colors. A good example is the recent behavior of many on the Left. Commentator Donald Kaul just wrote…

  • The End of the World

    By Selwyn Duke This is the piece that will never be published. Haven’t you heard? The world’s going to end on December 21. End-of-the-world hysteria is rather interesting. The Argentine government has restricted access to a mountain over a mass “spiritual suicide” threat associated with it, and the Chinese regime has responded to a doomsday…

  • 10 Horrible Leftists People Respect

    By Selwyn Duke While image isn’t really everything, it certainly appears so when it’s all people are allowed to see. What follows is a list of 10 individuals who have Dr. Jekyll images that obscure a Mr. Hyde reality. 1. Alice Walker While The Color Purple author and feminist icon masquerades as a champion of…
