• The Futility of Force

Frank Salvato's article, "The war against radical Islam" (Forum, yesterday), almost gets the Islam issue correct, but not quite, because: 1) religion and ideology are not synonymous, and 2) radical Muslims are not necessarily organized. Each imam, in fact, each Muslim, is free to interpret the Koran and propagate his interpretation. There is no central clearinghouse or spokesman, including no spokesman for "radical Islam." We must question not the ideology but the basis for the religion in fact the basis for all religious and non-religious ideas of humankind. The question needs to be raised of every religion: How do you know that your sacred writings are the word of God? Only this question addresses the underlying principle that drives the Muslims in Iraq. Each little band of Muslim out...

• Conservative Sites Un-Googled

As such an indispensable tool for searching the Internet, Google is sometimes mistaken for a public utility albeit one that works extraordinarily well. The reality is that Google is a private company, with one important caveat: Google's success depends on search neutrality, meaning that a user will find what he's looking for, not what Google wants him to find. Which is why recent reports, documented by Newsbusters.org, a sister site of the Media Research Center, that Google is censoring political sites on account of "hate speech" threaten the company's vigorously cultivated standing with the public. As Newsbusters reports, in March 2005, Rusty Shackleford, who runs the conservative blog the Jawa Report, received an e-mail message from Google informing him that: "Upon recent review, we'v...

• It Couldn't Be Because She's Opinionated?

The ratings book has been published and the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric didn't do very well. The evening news broadcast came in third among the big three. As the golden chairs at CBS scramble to effect job security in the face of these dismal ratings, we are told their failure is our fault. It would seem we are biased against poor Katie Couric. According to CBS News chief Sean McManus, we, the viewing public, are shallow, unenlightened chauvinists who simply aren't progressive enough to accept a female news anchor. In an interview with the media industry publication Broadcast & Cable, Mr. McManus said: "I think it is a fact there are probably people, both men and women, who are perhaps uncomfortable having a woman anchor the news. .. The way [Miss Couric] is scrutinized, I think ...

• Accepting Thuggery

While the controversy surrounding Michael Vick continues, a few stark realities present themselves, all of which have an element of moral relativism. The sad fact is that "thuggery" has seeped into every avenue of the American culture and our society is accepting it. The acceptance of "thuggery" in professional sports is a given. From the National Basketball Association to the National Football League, the counterculture urban bad-boy image has been accepted as "cool." One need only look at the offenses professional athletes are being arrested for and charged with to understand the spectrum of the problem. From Michael Vick's guilty plea in the despicable dog fighting scandal to former Chicago Bear Tank Johnson's repeated weapons offenses, from Charles Barkley's assault charge for throw...
