(LONDON) - In her first response to the killing of the American ambassador and three others in Libya, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she had asked herself the question that many Americans were asking - how it could have happened?

The most likely answer, it seems to me, is that it was a well planned terrorist attack not a spontaneous happening, not part of the protest against video clips of a film that denigrates and insults the Prophet Muhammad and Islam.

The Pope and the Palestinians

One imagines that Yassir |Arafat would have relished meeting Pope Benedict XVI in Lebanon as he had met Pope John Paul nine times.

(BEIRUT ) - The only time this observer recalls Yassir Arafat ever becoming frustrated with the late American journalist Janet Stevens, whom he adored as a daughter, was during a visit in August of 1982 when the PLO leader, mentioned in conversation, as he often did to others, that Jesus Christ was a Palestinian.

What you will read may change you forever... published online for free download.

(BOSTON) - Perhaps one of the most important books written about religion in the modern age, The Crucifixion: Mistaken Identity? John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ by Agron Belica explores what came to be known as "The Crowned Theory."

We see it happening all around us in the “civilised”, “democratic” and “capitalistic” (or should I say “Cabbalistic”?) world, at the hands of the same “elite”.
