You’re all upset that the voters of one of the United States have sent a Muslim to congress? You say Islam is a terror cult, not a “real” religion? You say you’ve never heard of a religion where devotees carry weapons and have “hit squads”? Read history!
War gods who favor the tribe that worships them are the most popular form of religion, historically. Most of the Old Testament is a “My God can beat up your god” story. Capturing and torturing and sacrificing enemies was the main form of worship in Mayan and Aztec cultures. Ever hear of the Assassins? Of Ninjas?
The Catholic Church burned an entire town of 7,000 people, saying “Kill them all, God will sort out the innocents from the guilty Heretics”. Nobody around was keeping count, of course, but many historians think that more people have been killed by Christians than any other religion. I believe this is true, although I am personally a Christian and try to follow Christ’s teaching of “turn the other cheek”.
The issue of this Islamic politician shouldn’t upset you. If the people don’t like him, they won’t vote for him again in two years. It’s that simple. If you want something to be upset about, why not the fact that this current American Administration is putting in place an override of constitutional democracy? They are closing the borders. They are monitoring the phones and computers of people who disagree with them.
Free speech and assembly, habeas corpus, trial by jury — all slated for extinction. If you understand from History that “Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely”, you will recognize this as the first stage of tyranny. Forget about a lone Islamic legislator. What about the right to elect legislators, and to expect that the laws they pass will be faithfully executed?

- South Africa Will Be Next After Iran
Israel has already indicated through a blog that appeared in the Times of Israel on 2 January 2026, largely ignored by African media, that it would like to see Africa further fragmented, beginning with South Africa. With a US base in Botswana, South Africa probably has very little chance of countering any combined US-Israeli aggression. Its internal divisions are deep, especially along racial lines. White … - The Cape Of Good Hope Is Open For Business
International shipping groups including Maersk announced on 1 March that they were rerouting vessels bound for the Red Sea via southern Africa. The Cape of Good Hope. That stretch of ocean at the bottom of this continent, the one the Portuguese named and the world has mostly ignored since the Suez Canal opened in 1869, is suddenly the world’s most important shipping detour. When the … - Burkina Faso, Burundi, DRC, Liberia, Mozambique
Based on factors including fiscal balance, petroleum import reliance, poverty and national wealth, Janes assesses Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, and Mozambique to be particularly vulnerable given acute fiscal fragility and high energy vulnerability. The band are the names of the countries on the list of most exposed to the economic fallout of a war they had nothing … - Nine Countries Cut Interest Rates Before The Bombs Dropped
Nine African countries including Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt and the Democratic Republic of Congo earlier this year cut interest rates, citing lower inflation, high foreign demand for their local-currency denominated bonds and current account surpluses. Nine countries. Months of careful fiscal management. Coordinated monetary policy. The quiet, unglamorous work of keeping economies stable enough to grow. Then on February 28th the bombs started falling on Tehran …
