Producer's Desk — March, 2008
What is “The Producer’s Desk”?
As you know, Richard Land LIVE! is a once-a-week broadcast. This is fine and good, but some of us are—let’s be honest—borderline ‘addicts’ when it comes to reading the news and blogs. Fear not! This is where the Producer’s Desk fills that Sunday-through-Friday void when RLL is not broadcasting.
Subscribe to this feed in your news-reader or email and read what Richard and the Richard Land LIVE! producers are reading throughout the week! (Hint: It may inform what you hear on the Saturday live broadcast.)
We hope you enjoy!

On Beliefnet: “Islamic Voting Patterns – Good News?” by Richard Land
posted by Matt Hawkins on 03.08.2008
Topics: islamic extremism, religious freedom, war
Dr. Land’s most recent post to Beliefnet:
“…These countries are just a few of the examples of the fact that when given the opportunity, majority Muslim countries embrace free elections, and when they exercise their franchise, they do not choose radical Islamist candidates to represent them. That is why the radicals try to murder and terrorize their way to power – like all totalitarians, they don’t do well in the democratic process. Could the Bush doctrine of promoting free and fair elections in Muslim majority countries – actually be working?” Read the rest at Beliefnet…

I’ve posted a new entry at the Newsweek/Washington Post On Faith blog in response to this question:
“According to a new Pew Forum survey, more than 4 in 10 Americans have switched their religious affiliation since childhood or dropped out of any formal religious group. Is this a mark of the health or sickness of American religion?” - Sally Quinn and Jon Meacham

America’s National Security At Risk - Richard Land
“Americans are less safe today from terrorists than two weeks ago. On Feb. 16, a critical law authorizing our intelligence community to monitor foreign terrorists’ communications expired… Liberals in Congress appear more interested in empowering the lawyers to sue the telecommunications companies than they are in providing for the security of United States citizens…” - Richard Land
