What a strange question. Everybody assumes that Muhammad existed. Does not Islam affirm his existence? Why would anyone question it? Strangely enough there are many questions about Muhammad, the Qur’an, and the hadiths (traditions) that arose about Muhammad that led some scholars and researchers to the conclusion that Muhammad really did not exist. What is the cause of this doubt?…

Go to a high-street or online bookstore, and one can find numerous biographies written about Muhammad — the reputed founder of Islam — by the likes of Karen Armstrong and Tariq Ramadan. These works — generally apologetic in nature — wholly rely on the traditional Islamic accounts of the Prophet’s life, and if they ever delve into the question of…

With news reports surfacing about President Obama’s 10-step plan to take executive action on immigration, it appears the president has decided to ignore the American people, Congress and current law in order to push through some sort of amnesty. While the details are not yet clear, this administrative amnesty will likely shield as many as 5 million unlawful immigrants from deportation and…

Never before has it been so easy to turn an idea into a business. With a simple Internet connection, some ingenuity and a lot of hard work, anyone today can create a new service or app or start selling products nationwide. In the past, such a person would have to know the right people and raise substantial start-up capital to…

Republicans should use the budget process to stop President Barack Obama’s plans to grant work permits to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants because “he was not elected king,” Rep. Marsha Blackburn told Newsmax on Thursday. “He is president and he needs to realize that he is going to have to come to the Hill and work with Congress…

It’s not exactly the Ems Dispatch (the diplomatic cable Bismarck doctored to provoke the 1870 Franco​–​Prussian War). But what the just-resurfaced GruberConfession lacks in world-historical consequence, it makes up for in world-class cynicism. This October 2013 video shows MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, a principal architect of Obamacare, admitting that, in order to get it passed, the law was made deliberately…

Christmas and Easter have been stricken from next year’s school calendar in Montgomery County. So have Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. Montgomery’s Board of Education voted 7 to 1 Tuesday to eliminate references to all religious holidays on the published calendar for 2015-2016, a decision that followed a request from Muslim community leaders to give equal billing to the Muslim…

Since 2010, when the Democrats lost their majority in the House and their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, President Obama’s ability to pursue legislative changes has ground to a halt. With the Republicans taking control of the Senate in January, we can expect to see many more headlines blaring that the “do-nothing Congress” has passed the fewest laws in decades….

Humility

 Nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor. – Proverbs 25:17 Humility precedes honor. – Proverbs 18:12

 • Now Moses was a humble man, more humble than anyone (Numbers 12:3). • At times, Moses falls face down and protests that he is “not worthy to lead.” • David also protested that “I’m only a poor man and little…

Republicans had a very good Nov. 4; this much we know. But merely looking at the GOP’s likely nine-seat gain the Senate and its double-digit gains in the House doesn’t really do its wave justice. While the GOP is likely to control 54 percent of all Senate seats and 56 percent (or so) of the House come January, it also will…
