WILLIAMSON July 20, 2015, Issue @KEVINNR Everybody is talking about what ‘nobody is talking about . . .’ There is some controversy over the Islamic term taqiyya, generally understood as a principle of self-preservation permitting Muslims to deceive infidels when the numbers are against them without incurring divine penalties for dishonesty. Some Muslims complain that the concept has been inflated to feed the fears of terrorized Westerners.

WHEN A CLERIC GOES ECONOMICS PHILOSOPHER: The Pope should go to China and tell the millions there who have been lifted out of poverty by capitalism.  When leaders get out of their element they brew trouble for themselves and their followers.  Everything wrong with Latin America and its struggle with poverty is the result of socialist policies and  autocratic states.  The Pope has no answers because he's unwilling to state this truth.

STOCKMAN WEIGHS IN: Too bad nobody listens to this guy anymore if they ever did.

INTERESTING TALK BY DANIEL PIPES: A real expert on the Middle East.

A BEAUTIFUL ENCOMIUM TO THREE CHAMPIONS: Beautifully written tribute to sports at its bet.

MORE FRAUD, MORE CORRUPTION, MORE CLINTONS: Where does all this end? The alliance of Big business and Big Government knows no bounds. Has it alway been so, and will continue to be so?

SOUNDS REASONABLE BUT IS IT? Remember, government has no restraints in the end.

IT'S STILL OKAY TO BE A SKEPTIC: Until the science is truly settled this will go on and on.
