The Munich Shooter Is Driving the Mainstream Media Nuts

Ali David Sonboly, the young man who shot up Munich last week, killing 9 mostly young people and wounding dozens of others, is driving the mainstream media nuts.  It’s so bad, they can’t even decide what they want to call him.  ...

Thank Ailes for Trump?

Since early in the primary season, I’ve been wondering where the articles were criticizing Trump for his innumerable bad deeds in business dealings.  Sure, there was a rather gentle New York Times article back in January describing his tra...

Is the Microaggression Movement Stoking the Jihad?

The microaggression movement is a serious problem threatening the foundation of our academy and the mental health of our youth, opine many people such as Michael Auslin and Jonathan Haidt, respectively.  Meanwhile, it should be self-evident that...

Bill Maher and Richard Dawkins criticize other leftists over Islam

Is Obama Calling for Media Control?

President Obama launched an extraordinary, gratuitous attack on Fox News at a panel discussion on poverty at Georgetown University on May 12, 2015.  That portion of his remarks has received considerable media attention, particularly from Fox its...

An AT rookie author and the commenters

I was pleased and a bit surprised that my very first American Thinker article, “Don't Draw Mohammed, Debate the Origins of Islam,” published on May 11, drew 382 comments (and counting).  I understand from more knowledgeable peopl...

Don't Draw Mohammed, Debate the Origins of Islam

Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer organized a cartoon contest in Garland, Texas to demonstrate the need to exert the right to free speech against Islamic threats.  This event in actuality, and predictably, provoked a violent response from two rad...
