On Israel
This brief summary of the terrible state of the Palestinian region is from my head and surely not accurate but rather based purely on what I have read and heard on TV. etc. The History of Israel begins with Abraham who was born sometime around 2050 B.C. Abraham was a man of great wealth. Great…
On Islam
Islam may have some aspects of it that are good and peaceful, but the aspects of it that are pure evil make the whole of it evil. Breitbart: reported on what was currently happening in the Middle East: “At least 150 people were beheaded yesterday by ISIS in the massacre of Deir al-Zour, including dozens…
On Rational
It is always interesting to hear the rationale of we humans when we err.

On Who Inspires Me
