Carter, Livingstone, Olmert, Spencer, Steyn, Hirsi Ali

After many [1] snags and delays, we have at last been able to hold the Jihad Watch 2007 Awards Banquet. Hugh and I pulled out our $49.95 powder blue Wal-Mart tuxes from storage and made our way down to the abandoned movie theater at the edge of town, and watched as all the glitterati made their way in: Paris, Britney, Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer Lopez -- none of them could make it, but we had a splendid time anyway.

Jimmy Carter's entourage stood and cheered as, for the second year in a row, I awarded him the cringing dhimmi statuette, signifying his status as...American Dhimmi of the Year 2007! Ken Livingstone was just as proud as he accepted the Dhimmi Internationale, although his co-winner Ehud Olmert seemed somewhat sulky.

And then came Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Mark Steyn, the Anti-Dhimmis of 2007, to accept the gratitude of an embattled free people for their efforts during a year in which both suffered from dhimmi attempts to silence them -- attempts meant to ease the surrender of the West. These courageous people have not given up. And neither will we.
