Spate of attacks kills 107 across Iraq

At least 107 people were killed in bomb and gun attacks in Iraq on Monday, a day after 20 died in explosions, in a coordinated surge of violence against mostly Shi\’ite Muslim targets.

Why don’t U.S. groups condemn Jewish terrorists in Israel?

The leaflet calls for the deaths of Israelis who belong to Peace Now and offers a quarter of a million dollars for the killing of each and every one. And threats against Peace Now are proliferating. Three weeks after the Sternhell bombing, police were investigating graffiti found in Tel Aviv threatening the life of Yariv Oppenheimer, Peace Now\’s director general.

‘Yeah, But:’ 2 Words Lead to Dark Side

In the wake of the terrorist attacks in London, I can\’t help but despair at the ever-spiraling violence in our world today. And it pains me even more deeply that a significant portion of that violence occurs at the hands of Muslims in the name of Islam.

Of course, we have all condemned this latest attack in London. We have all stated that Islam is a religion of peace. We have all stated Islamic terror is neither sacred nor Islamic.

Yet, inevitably, I get a question from one — or more than one — reader which goes something like this: \”Yeah, but what about the suffering of Muslims in Iraq? Isn\’t that also wrong? Why don\’t you condemn that?\”
