Unchosen Obligations
A duty is an unchosen obligation. How could any such thing lead to happiness? Only our responsibility to be rational comes close.
     
     
     Toleration?        Compassion?

Toleration?

Toleration is a slippery word. If irrational, it is an obstacle to happiness and a weapon used against us by terrorists.
 

Compassion?

It is appropriate to help others under certain conditions. But why the need to let terrorists off the moral hook in the name of "compassion"?

A God Who Hates / Wafa Sultan

Review by Daniel Pipes, director, Middle East Forum

"Wafa Sultan paints a scorching, unforgettable portrait of Syrian Muslim society, especially the degradation of it's women, and lyrically appreciates her adopted American homeland, which she calls 'the land of dreams.' But she also worries that Middle East customs are encroaching on the West and writes with passion to awaken Americans to a menace they barely recognize, much less fear."
