Judith Klinghoffer may be a bit unfair here: A Coward Called Nicholas Kristof, but there certainly is an elephant in the room in Kristof's column yesterday, and it's a Muslim elephant. Judaism and Christianity have had and are having their internal "wars" on a regular basis. Kristof couldn't touch Islam because that's a whole other question (and arguably the most important one). Two religions are evolving, one is having trouble.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

I read this artical and the new york times.
when muslims say that the koan is islams miracle........that has a reason.
whoever tryies to be smart in front of god.....and oppose the quran....will be a looser on earth and a looser in afterlife. its the proof.
so who will kristof mention?.....wafa sultan? mark spencer.? or ibn waraq.? or danial pipes. they all are failures and reading theirbooks makes less knowledgable about anything. follow those writers ....as for muslims,
3 million are in mecca preforming hajj! 3 million from every country decend to the middle of desert where there ws no water and no plants......from evey nation. the great assembly. while no muslims will bother to walk 3 meters to by anybook apposing islam.
And (remember) when We showed Ibrahim (Abraham) the site of the (Sacred) House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) (saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me, [La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah Islamic Monotheism], and sanctify My House for those who circumambulate it, and those who stand up for prayer, and those who bow (submit themselves with humility and obedience to Allah), and make prostration (in prayer, etc.);"And proclaim to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj).
