Revisionism is not about Jews or the Jewish religion. It just happens to deal with an aspect of history in which Jews play a major role. Hence it is inevitable that Jewish topics are raised on occasion, and we aren’t going to avoid them here either.

Why do Islamic radicals want to kill innocent Americans? I’m not certain that I know, but I have a novel idea. Let’s listen to what they say. For example, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef is the guy who helped organize the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Yousef was sentenced to life imprisonment for his…
