Ignoring the True Apartheid in Pakistan

Over the years, I've heard of activists claiming Israel to be an Apartheid State. Yet I studied the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and learned that Israel provides medical treatment to all people, regardless of their faith, ethnicity, or skin color, and in the hospital all are treated simply as sick people and nothing else. Even terrorists and their families receive medical treatment. This is not the case in nations like Pakistan, where this Christian man was recently beaten to death by hospital staff and security guards simply for protesting that the doctor refused to grant medical treatment to his pregnant sister. Such is life for the minorities in Pakistan.

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere...

Beware the Maldives

Image
For many people in the world, the Maldives is seen as a Paradise on Earth.   Located in the Indian Ocean south of the nation of India, the Maldives have long been a hot-spot for tourists who seek to enjoy the beautiful island chain, its lush resorts, and crystal clear water.  In has even become a highly sought after prize on popular American Game Shows such as The Price is Right, but there's an old saying: "Beauty is often Skin Deep," & the Maldives are no exception.   In recent months the Maldives gained notice from the international media when they announced their intent to ban all Israeli citizens from entering their nation due to their disapproval of Israel's actions during the Israel-Hamas War, but in reality this type of ban is in truth a reflection of the darkness that presently rules over the Maldives.  The truth is that behind the colorful photographs, the sinister ideology of Islamism has seized control of the nation.

Historical Errors in the Qur'an

Image
When I first examined the Qur'an, I did not seek to see if it was theologically accurate, or if it contain good moral teachings, but to see if it was historically trustworthy.  As a historian, it is important to me that a  text be historically accurate.  If it is not, then the reliability of this text needs to be seriously scrutinized.  As I examined each Surah of the Qur'an, I began to find historical flaws throughout the entire Text.    Surah 4:157:  And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them.  The Qur’an says Jesus was not crucified here.  However, there are problems with this.  The entire  New Testament verifies crucifixion, and earliest writings less than 20 years after his death.  Not to mention that there are sources outside the Bible that confirm ...
