Description: In the hours following the attacks on Paris, ISIS claimed they had “cast terror into the hearts of the crusaders in their very own homeland.” Osama bin Laden made similar statements following 9/11. In 2001, Bill Clinton said that stories of Christian atrocities during the Crusades are “still being told today in the Middle East and we are still paying for them.” Are Islamic terrorists really motivated by a centuries-long grudge for the Crusades? In short, no. Steve Weidenkopf explains why.

Description: Rearview Mirror is a new regular segment when we look back on a significant event that occurred on this date in history. Everyone remembers November 22, 1963 as the day President Kennedy was assassinated. JFK’s death was headline news around the world and overshadowed the deaths of two other titans of the time: CS Lewis and Aldous Huxley, the author of Brave New World. The three men, who died within eight hours of each other, represented three very distinct viewpoints of life. Al explains.
