Saudi Arabia has threatened to sell $billions of its US Treasury bonds if the Congress passes a law allowing victims of the 11 September 2001 tragedy to sue the Saudi government for damages. We don’t really know how many billions of dollars of bonds the Saudis own (strangely, the US treasury withholds that information although it makes that information available for most other countries that own US bonds), but we assume that its holdings are substantial. But the American people have been kept in the dark about Saudi Arabia’s involvement in 9/11 for a very long time. There are 28 pages of the official Congressional investigation in the tragedy that have never been released, and all 28 pages outline Saudi involvement in the attack.

When one listens to discussions about Islam in Europe, one could be forgiven for thinking that Europeans know little about Muslims because the movement of Muslims into Europe is a recent phenomenon. Nothing could be further from the truth. From the time that Islam began, the interaction between Muslims from the Middle East and Christians in Europe has been constant and sustained. Much of the interaction has been hostile, but the persistence of misinformation about Islam in Europe is difficult to fathom.
When the Zika virus was first detected in 1947, it did not seem to be a particularly dangerous virus. But recent outbreaks in Brazil and Colombia have led to serious birth defects and paralyzing disorders. Researchers now believe that the Zika virus has a peculiar ability to mutate in a way that has led to exponential growth in Brazil. The research is still ongoing, but there is little doubt that the virus now poses a serious risk to human beings.
