In America
Tabloid Islamophobia in the UK
The British Media & Islam – newspapers have taken liberties with the truth far too many times…
Let’s Kill Obama! (And the Subsequent Fracas)
Imagine if you will, a Muslim, an Arab, or an Iranian in the United States writing a post somewhere on a newsletter, or a particular newspaper, or online suggesting ways for Arabs and Iran to defend and counter Israel and its threat to their respective countries.
