  IN A COLUMN many years ago, I described how I once attempted to chart a family tree.

• Destruction of Copts Is Islamically Correct Fri Oct 14
  Diana West
  I am looking at a reproduction of an old engraving of Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulcher. It is in Bat Ye'or's book "The Dhimmi," which collects primary documents from history to chronicle the impact of Islamic law on non-Muslims through the centuries. What is notable about the image, which is based on an 1856 photograph, is that the church, said to be at the site of Jesus Christ's crucifixion and burial, has no cross and no belfry. Stripped of its Christian symbols, the church stood in compliance with the Islamic law and traditions of the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire, which ruled Jerusalem at the time. ... more

  Dennis Prager
  About five years ago, I was invited by the Hoover Institution to lecture at Stanford University over the course of a week.
