George Will has written a terrific column on former Indiana governor Mitch Daniels and his plan to solve our economic problems and bring entitlememnts to solvency.  Of course the plan is too simple and efficient to satisfy those redistributionists in both parties who need a tax code to satisfy every interest group in existance.  As Will writes:

Today's tax system was shaped by sadists who were trying to be nice: Every wrinkle in the code was put there to benefit this or that interest. Since the 1986 tax simplification, the code has been recomplicated more than 14,000 times — more than once a day.

The Concept of Zadak in the Muslim Religion

The concept of Zadak, or charitable contributions is discussed in this very interesting article. As a former educator, I am familiar with the way this concept, as well as Jihad, is being taught. American textbooks go through a tremendous review process that culminates with the publication of books that are so politically correct as to serve no purpose, except as a propaganda tool.

The True Meaning of Jihad

Muslims and their acolytes in the West have been attempting for long time to convince infidels that jihad means inner struggle rather than holy war.

Does anyone believe that this protester in Anaheim, CA is asking Hamas to fight Zionism through inner struggle? I doubt it.

Honoring CAIR in Tampa

For the fourth consecutive year, Pam Iorio, Mayor of Tampa Bay, Florida, will issue a proclamation honoring the radical Muslim organization Council on American Islamic Reltions,CAIR, proclaiming a day in its honor. This city has had a problem with Radical Islamism for many years, and it was the home base of Sami Al-Arian and his Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Two Muslim students, residents of the Tampa area, have been arrested for possession of explosives and creating a video explaining how to detonate explosives. The website of the Muslim American Society-MASTampa, has had postings promoting hatred and jihad. All these associations are interconnected with CAIR.

CAIR is not Islam, and honoring this organization is not honoring Islam or the Islamic community, unless this community agrees with the philosophy espoused by CAIR. Either way, the sooner the proclamation is rescinded, the better.
