FrontPage Magazine 29 April 2010
By William Kilpatrick

By Rachel Ehrenfeld and Aylana Meisel
On his recent surprise visit to Afghanistan, President Obama properly criticized the government for ignoring corruption and mismanagement. At the same time, the United States' current policy allows Afghan opium production, the major funding source for the Taliban.

• Muhammad's Own Words - Islamic Science
Prophet of Doom 28 April 2010
Foreword by Henrik R Clausen
While it is a core axiom of Islamic theology that the Islamic scripture is flawless and that the life and conduct of Muhammad is an example to follow for all faithful Muslims, the attempts of the Quran and the Hadith to resolve scientific and medical questions casts some doubt over that assertion. Below is a selection of quotes from the Islamic scripture on these subjects, that you may judge for yourself which is more credible, Islamic scripture or Western science.
Balkans: Greece to Pull Out of the Eurozone?
Global Politician 28 April 2010
By Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.

Its only remaining option is to monetize its financing requirements by printing money and to erode its public debt by reinflating its economy.
