From the Editor

FEATURES

Islamic Jihad and Western Faith
Craig Biddle
Examines the root of Islam, the notion that faith is a means of knowledge; compares and contrasts faith with man’s actual means of knowledge, reason; and shows that to accept faith as a means of knowledge is to aid and encourage jihadists at the most fundamental level possible.

Islam vs. Free Speech
Ari Armstrong
Discusses the conflict between the two with respect to the Islam-motivated Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris, recounts various other Islam-motivated assaults on freedom of speech from around the world, and argues that “Muslims will continue to react violently to ‘offensive’ speech until one of two things happens.”

Piketty’s Rickety Assault on Capital
Richard M. Salsman
Dismantles and dispatches Thomas Piketty’s arguments against free markets and the principle of rights, including the “fuzzy math” in Piketty’s alleged laws of capitalism.

Circumcision in America
Joseph R. England
Traces the history of and rationales for nontherapeutic circumcision, sheds medical and ethical light on the widespread practice, and argues that Americans should take a principled stand against it.
