Islam has nothing to do with violence against the Coptic Church in Egypt!
The reality is that Islam has nothing to do with the sectarian violence. The violence has more to do with lack of security and pubic order in Egypt. What is needed are the establishment of the rule of law, including civil rights and criminal laws enforceable through courts.We should not expect Egypt to become a democratic nation overnight and to not go without some growing pains. The international community needs to take more of an active role toward a democratic future for Egypt.

The Insane Islamophobia in America’s Airline industry – and putting a stop to IT!
The insanity of Islamophobia as justification to harass and deny basic civil rights and travel freedoms to Muslims at airports and by airlines was notched up to a higher level when Muslim leaders traveling to a North Carolina conference on Islamophobia experienced it first hand while using air travel. We know that mental disorder of Islamophobia is present at our airports, in the "counter-terrorism" studies - but this Islamophobia proudly practiced by Delta Airlines and its Atlantic Southwest Airlines reached a new level of absolute insanity!

On this Europe day – remembering (again) the US-EU hypocrisy
This blog take lots of efforts to point out the glaring hypocrisies of "American exceptionalism" in the US-EU relationship on this Europe Day. "American exceptionalism" means that the same corruption and bad governance fought off in Egypt (and supported by the EU) is never criticized by the European Union. Even as American social inequality is equal to Ivory Coast and State governors are as corrupt as Laurent Gbagbo and Hosni Mubarak, the EU still says nothing.This Author will always continue to speak out against this "exceptionalism" in the US-EU relationship that has given license for abusive regimes in American states and governmental structures!

Europe’s militarization of natural human migration
While the noble ideas of "bringing democracy" and "protecting civilians" are the reasons for European military action against the Muammar Gaddafi regime - the real reason could be the so-called "immigration threat" from Africa. Europeans have now entered a new and dangerous level of the growing securitization of immigration - going to war against nations outside of Europe to "stem an immigration emergency."
