The story of Exodus is in Quran too: In Islam, Mūsā ibn ʿImrān (Arabic: موسی ابن عمران, lit. 'Moses, son of Amram') is an important prophet and messenger of God and is the most frequently mentioned individual in the Quran, with his name being mentioned 136 times and his life being narrated and...

There was a war fought by NATO and U.S. to liberate Kosovo in 1999.

What I have read is, in many observant Catholic households, the children faithfully go to church and all the sacraments like confessions etc., This inculcates a belief that Catholicism is one true faith. Then they go to high school or college, meet other smart kids who are good but not Catholic...

We have a crisis in the House of Representatives, so may be the White House thought it will slide. But if anything goes wrong, as they always during a war, Biden will have a big crisis on hand. He may even be impeached.

Leaving nothing to imagination that this is a joint Israel + U.S. vs. Hamas war. I have no issue with Israel's action, but if we are a joint partner in war, we should have gone through the Congressional process. Now, this is resembling sleepwalking into a war like in Vietnam when we started...

What does a kid do with a Mercedes? I can understand love of toy cars. But this seems bad child rearing by parents.

I don't understand all the logic, but one observation I can make. Today, Hamas declared a "Day of Rage" worldwide. I saw on TV that much of New York was deserted and most big cities had low foot traffic, people working from home, extra police with long guns etc., Now, this may not seem a big...

A submarine is large and doesn't stay underwater for very long. It has to eventually surface and dock for supplies and crew change. Sooner or later, it will be found out, if still around, in public information or some surveillance. So, any 'hiding' or false reporting is temporary and will go...

I haven't heard anything firsthand though I have read some of those words. My only experience was when a friend of mine was asked 'Are you a Jew' by a realtor because he was bargaining really hard when buying a house in San Diego.

Everywhere as the level of education and knowledge spreads, rational thought overpowers faith, unfortunately for the faithful. One need only talk to the smartphone generation to see the powerful draw of connectivity and communication on human thinking. Knowledge can be 'dangerous', as the...

Nothing will make sense unless and until Israel can be guaranteed there won't be Hamas and Hamas's terror making abilities have been completely destroyed. U.S. will guarantee this with its full force of the military. The war is now Israel + U.S. vs. Hamas.

I would add that people not of the book are also perfectly fine humans that deserve respect and understanding. This is the 21st Century and the fastest growing faith is Rationalism i.e., Lack of faith.

Everybody feels bad for all the casualties of aerial bombing. But, going by the past wars of this kind, far more will die due to starvation, disease and malnutrition. That is the tragedy. There is absolutely no silver lining in this catastrophe.

At first, I thought who will bell the cat. But the answer was right there. Any alternative that will not involve destruction of Gaza and death of hundreds of thousands of Gazans will involve someone else entering Gaza and becoming its administrators. But Hamas will never allow that. They would...

Just because U.S. failed, doesn't mean we didn't try. Don't you remember all the excitement with women with purple fingers, girls walking to school unmolested etc.? We quickly realized these are all flashes in the pan that can't be transplanted on to a different culture.

Nothing scary at all. As long as I have been watching, there was always a heterodox group that opposed this umbilical cord type relation with Israel. But they were always a small minority and when push came to shove - like wars - they went silent, or their voices were drowned out. In fact, there...

The problem was not with waging wars. It was with the much taunted 'Nation Building' projects. U.S. was innocent/ignorant those days in the belief that somehow God has endowed all people with a desire to rule themselves under a Jeffersonian democracy. Nation after nation disabused us of that...

But there is the politically incorrect fact: Arab nations don't want Palestinian immigrants. Only Western nations accept Palestinian immigrants. In fact, most of the posters here from Pakistan can get citizenship only in Western countries. They will never be given citizenship in Arab countries...

Why did you even draw that line in the middle? It is unnecessary. U.S. Secretary of Defense is jointly starting ground operations in Gaza with Israel Defense minister: Any questions?

I am no expert in this (not even an amateur really), but if you see Uighurs and Tibetans in China, Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, Kurds in Iran/Iraq/Turkey, there is a modus vivendi, although imperfectly, without constantly killing each other. There are plenty of countries in the...
