By Selwyn Duke “Allah is the greatest. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is his Prophet.” So reads a handout in Anthony Giannino’s son’s middle school in a passage relating the Muslim call to prayer. It’s part of a world-civilizations curriculum in the Revere, Massachusetts, school…

By Selwyn Duke The Drudge headline the other day read, “Poll Shock: Women Want Republicans!” The story is that for the first time in I don’t know how long, likely women voters want the GOP to control Congress, albeit by the slim margin of 44 to 42 percent. Last month the numbers were 47-40 in…

By Selwyn Duke There’s a knock on your door. Upon responding, you see two police officers who inform you, “We’ve come to inspect your firearms and look over your place, sir.” In a land known for onerous gun control and even proposals for knife control, this has become a reality for lawful gun owners in…

By Selwyn Duke Given that dozens of countries have already instituted Ebola-related travel/entry restrictions and eight airlines have thus far restricted flights to nations affected by the disease, many critics have a question: Why hasn’t the United States protected Americans by suspending travel to and from Ebola-ravaged lands? One of the most recent figures recommending…

By Selwyn Duke It’s a culture clash that could drive a man to drink: A customer at a U.K. KFC was told he couldn’t have a hand wipe because the alcohol in it might offend Muslims. While the customer himself was offended (in the relevant usage of the word) and said it wouldn’t bother him…
