Will Sri Lanka be a Wake-up call for the West?
Church leaders have rightly condemned white supremacists, but seem not to have noticed that Islam is, historically and ideologically, a supremacist religion. I haven’t yet seen Hotel Mumbai, but I was surprised to learn of its release last month. The surprise was on...
