Atheist Touched by Beautiful Call to Prayer One of the bizarre myths perpetuated about Islam, during the centuries of mistrust during and after the Crusades, is that Muslim armies forced people to accept Islam at the point of the sword. Unfortunately this myth survives to this day.Many Western scholars have now repudiated this myth. The great historian De Lacy O'Leary wrote in "Islam At the Cross-roads": "History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated." Indeed, it is a historical fact, that Islam spread much faster during periods of peace than in periods of war. Islam continued to spread, as it does now, when Muslims were not prevailing economically, socially or politically. History of Tolerance and Mutual Respect The Glorious Qur'an says: "Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error" [Al-Qur'an 2:256] Traditionally Muslims have treated other religions with respect, even when they were in a position to use force. Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. During these 800 years, … Continue reading →

Monica Almeida/The New York Times Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey spoke with Ari Fleischer, a former White House press secretary for President George W. Bush, at the Republican governors convention in Las Vegas on Wednesday. LAS VEGAS The polite praise initially showered upon Mitt Romney for having waged a good fight against President Obama has given way to a plea from some Republicans: Please stop talking. A week after the election, as Republicans examine how to recalibrate and regain their footing, Mr. Romneys suggestion that he lost the race because of the gifts that Mr. Obama gave to black, Latino and young voters did not sit well with some party leaders gathered here for a meeting of the Republican Governors Association. Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana grew visibly agitated when asked about the comments that Mr. Romney made during a conference call with donors on Wednesday.
