Elie Wiesel Distorts Bible in Controversial “Child Sacrifice” Ad

By Seth Sanders

…le is actually Molech, not Moloch, a rarer spelling that probably indicates the same name. 2 There is a lack of parallel in Wiesel’s example here, because he compares the Nazi extermination of Jewish children by means of Nazi death camps to what he describes as the Arab extermination of Arab children by means of Israeli artillery.

As Jeff Sharlet has reported, Inhofe has long been the liaison between the secretive evangelical group the Family (aka the Fellowship), and Museveni.

By Jay Wexler

…lice have warned Eid celebrants not to use illegal fireworks in the United Arab Emirates. Even in the United States, some critics have called for the federal government to regulate fireworks, rather than exempting them from the ambit of the Clean Air Act.

…books related to the subject. The ban was implemented in October after the United Nations Children’s Fund issued a guidebook for teachers on avoiding discrimination between girls and boys and achieving gender equality. “We’re not going to promote gender ideology,” Education Minister Enrique Riera told local media earlier this year. “We’re going to base ourselves on what is expressed in the constitution, which says that marriage is between a man an…

It is true that the so-called “Arab Spring” has been a significant setback for al Qaeda and its affiliates, though much will depend on how the US and European governments respond.

Non-Arab jihadi groups, and al Qaeda’s regional affiliates in North Africa,…

…together. The Muslim world’s democratic convulsions—Indonesia preceded the Arab world by roundabout a decade—are responses to economic lethargy, with booming populations ravenous for rights, dignity, and prosperity. In short, thank the world’s largest Muslim nation, Indonesia, for a big order signed on the occasion of President Obama’s visit (230 planes at $21.7 billion!). And thank one of the world’s fastest-growing airlines, Emirates from Dubai,…

He wants me to make a state visit to Sharjah and to Doha where there’s also interest. In Abu Dabi and Jordan there’…
