...Quran contains many lies and threats. Islam is false, no god exists, and someone should say that loud and clear.” The description later extends its antipathy to religion to Christianity and Judaism as well. A slew of Facebook groups have sprung up against this anti-Islam group, some threatening to quit Facebook altogether if the group is not removed. According to John G. Palfrey Jr. ’94, the executive director of Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, while the laws for free speech are the same in cyberspace...
...years ago at Harvard, a social scientist who was the most widely cited in his area of study but who had, in a popular book, criticized the U.S.-Israel alliance, became the subject of insinuations that he was anti-Semitic—insinuations that were likely fatal to his candidacy.

Otherwise, why does the U.S. rightly defend Jewish people’s claims on European bank accounts, property, and compensation for labor expropriated during the 1930s and 1940s, while quashing the rights of millions of Palestinians refugees to lands, houses, and goods stolen as a condition...
...space to rescue their imprisoned father on a planet governed by the sinister Dark Thing. With its mythic struggles, biblical and literary references and themes of good and evil--Dad is saved with the one gift Dark Thing lacks, the power of love--Wrinkle was seen by some as anti-Christian and was often banned. (The spiritual author called it "great publicity.") Wrinkle, which won the 1963 Newbery Medal, has sold more than 8 million copies. L'Engle...
