Hamas Confiscates Jordanian Aid Sent to Gaza
As we deconstruct poverty and occupation as the root causes of Muslim terrorism, it becomes clear once again that the disease is within Islam itself.

A Barrage Against Israel
Muslim apologists, take note. From A Barrage Against Israel via Daily Alert: Apologists for extremism had long argued that occupation rather than ideology was the “root cause” of terrorism.

In any case...
