Debate for and against the Ground Zero Mosque is raging. But deep underneath this debate, most Americans are missing the most important of arguments. What constitutes a moderate Muslim? Is it the Muslim who accepts money from the Wahhabis or the Salafis but claims co-existence? Or is it the American-Muslim who refuses to live but [...]
After a quick visit to Lebanon by Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and Assad of Syria, Hamas has started firing rockets unto Israel after a long freeze. That is why we should worry when Abdullah and Assad agree. If Hamas had to choose between Syria and Iran today, it will go Iran’s ways because of the [...]
The Middle East has experienced a paradigm shift in recent years prompted by unfinished business in Syria and Iran. At the same time that countries in the region watch Iran and Syria expand their influence in ways that threaten the fabric of any moderate views and the existence of Israel, the US public has voted [...]
An event sponsored by The Carnegie Middle East Center on Syria intended to assess Assad’s rule since he illegally inherited the office of the presidency 10 years ago, is inviting five different Syrian experts, ALL of whom are ardent regime supporters, and who will speak at the event held in Lebanon for one purpose only: [...]
Syria has always been, and remains, a newsworthy country to cover for two reasons. It neighbors the countries of Lebanon, Iraq, and Israel, all democratic and as perfect as they come considering who their neighbors are, and because of the hard-to-swallow foreign policy of Assad, whose direction has been quite destructive. If you have been [...]

What the list does not [...]
Do you sometimes read some article or a news item and go HEH? From the “I do not believe what I am reading” department comes this latest wisdom from the White house published on the front page of FOXNews entitled “NASA Chief: Next Frontier Better Relations With Muslim World“. Apparently, Obama does not think much [...]
The Syrian people have been marginalized over the last five decades in favor of the Assads ruling Syria. Very few people know anything about our inner and true fabric because the Assads have spent a lifetime painting us all as terrorists, extremists, and unreliable savages they must govern with an iron fist. This is our [...]
Assad speaks of peace but promotes violence and war. He speaks of the Palestinian rights, yet, his father was more than willing to kill them at will in Lebanon. He speaks of better relations with the US, yet, his lethal factories of terror have butchered hundreds of US troops in Iraq. He speaks of “resistance”, [...]
First, this thought. Many Syrians in the dissident community are adamant about Assad’s intransigence and lack of cooperation when it comes to peeling him from Iran or sustaining a policy that would contain or convert his policies.
