Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, the renowned U.S. writer and broadcaster, was on Anderson Cooper 360 last night (Wednesday, September 23), discussing his noble and admirable activism against Ahmadinejad’s and Gadhafi’s visit to the United States.

Why, for Sayyid Qutb, an Islamist Godfather, did the Jews represent the “eternal enemy” of Islam?
Why is Mein Kampf circulated so widely in the Muslim world? Why is it a bestseller among Palestinians? Read more ...
