Comment on Shows
Some people share my views, others are angered by them. But I do not compromise on principle and I apply the issue of principle fairly on everyone, criticizing all sides when they do wrong.
America is a good country, but it can be better if it addresses and corrects its faults and applies principle and justice fairly for everyone.
Israel has a right to exist, but must face up to, acknowledge and amend the injustices it commits against Palestinians.
Palestinians have a right to an independent state, but they must control their fanatics and bring to an end the violent terrorism.
What is Have-a-Nargila?
NO-HOLDS-BARRED commentaries that engage you, and force you to tackle the tough issues. Serious, sometimes humorous. Named "Best Ethnic Columnist in America" in November 2006 by the New American Media, Hanania gives you what the American media fails to give you, a full and honest perspective on the toughest issues.
Nargila is the Arabic word for "sheesha pipe," also known as a Hookah, or, when I was in college, a Bong.

JULY 24, 2007: HANANIA COMMENTARIES: Regular people asking questions via YouTube and online Internet Videos:
Instead of just letting average people ask questions of the presidential candidates, how about letting regular people run for office? That would be a revolutionary idea. And, they'd be better candidates.

Dec. 12, 2006: HANANIA COMMENTARIES: Iran's President Ahmadinejad has convened a Holocaust Conference out of concerns for the Jewish people, and to also clean up what he feels is the mistekn impression that the Nazis were bad when in fact they are just "misunderstood."

Standup Comedian and Award winning columnist Ray Hanania comments on the controversy surrounding the request by newly elected African American Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison to take his picture with his hand swearing on oath on a copy of the Quran (Koran) rather than on a Bible. Bigots have attacked Ellison calling him unAmerican, but I think it would be worse to swear on someone else's children rather than on your own. |
