Beheadings Fuel Backlash Against Muslims
This AP story (thanks to James) chronicles some ugly anti-Muslim incidents that have occurred in the US since the beheading of Paul Marshall Johnson. If these reports are accurate — people writing “Kill all Muslims” on mosque walls and that sort of thing — they are deplorable and inexcusable: targeting innocent people is just the […]
Massachusetts: cab driver charged with lying to FBI
Yesterday I had occasion to speak with several people who have no idea that jihad activity is still going on in the US.

From Reuters, with thanks to the many people who sent this along: WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Israeli-made bullets bought by the U.S. Army to plug a shortfall should be used for training only, not to fight […]
Comments progress report
Comments, as you may have noticed, have been disabled for several days now, after some persistent and obnoxious attacks by a loathsome spammer or two. I was hoping they would be up and running by now, but it will be a little while longer. When they do return, registration will be required (including a valid […]

Iranian Source: British Sailors Apprehended To Swap For 40 Iranian Volunteers for Suicide Missions Captured in Iraq
The real reason why the Iranians seized the British ships? According to London’s Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, it was all an ingenious plan. From MEMRI (with thanks to Romy): “A source close to the [Iranian] Revolutionary Guards told Al-Sharq Al-Awsat of the real reasons and factors in the apprehension of the three British Navy vessels and the […]
