Will the Real Moderate Muslim Please Rise?

On August 21, 2010, in Blog, by Farid Ghadry

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 [...]

On August 2, 2010, in Blog, by Farid Ghadry

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.

When Squeezed, Assad Yields Acid

On July 20, 2010, in Blog, by Farid Ghadry

“Khanet el-Yek“ in Backgammon Arab-Farsi lingo (column one) refers to an untenable position one finds himself when playing an opponent blocking his pieces no matter the dice one throws. If one analyzes Assad’s position today, it is obvious that Assad finds himself in “Khanet el-Yek” because of his infantile policies. Here is why. Besides a [...]

The Unpunishable Terror of Car Bombs

On July 16, 2010, in Blog, by Farid Ghadry

The first country to excel at the rigging of car bombs was Syria. More car bombs have been manufactured by Assad in Syria than any other country (Competition is fierce with Iran).

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 [...]

Give Syrians a Chance, Give Israelis a Break

On July 5, 2010, in Blog, by Farid Ghadry

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 [...]
