This article on ISIS is very long but amazingly helpful in understanding Da'esh.

I believe we are looking at ISIL the wrong way. Despite Bernie's analysis based on global warming and our aversion to saying anything candid about religion it is beyond me why we skirt around the fact that ISIL is bent on "religious" control of the world and therefore the "rational" conversations fall short. Just as we stand in shock to recent comments from a Christian pastor in Arkansas that overtly said gays should be killed (paraphrasing), we need to focus our thinking more around the use of religion in general to deal with ISIL and for that matter conservatives. Oil, that's the real game in the middle east, and ISIL knows it and is using, much like conservatives do, religion to bully others and arouse emotion in its followers. Its religion that is poisoning our politics here and in the world.

Hello All
Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
I have to miss half an hour of the show every day. Has there been any analysis of the November 8th election in Myanmar in which Aung San Suu Kyi's party won a majority of both houses of the parliament?
