Israel says Hizbullah rockets threaten Tel Aviv as Iran vows to ”wipe Israel off” map
Back in the days of the Cold War, the doctrine of “Mutually Assured Destruction” was purported to have kept both sides from launching a nuclear attack on the other. But the problem with the “Islamic Bomb” is that those who will wish to launch it will not be given pause by the prospect of their […]
Anti-dhimmitude in the 9/11 Commission report
Of all places. From Daniel Pipes at FrontPage: Finally, an official body of the U.S. government has come out and said what needs to be said: that the enemy is “Islamist terrorism “¦ not just “˜terrorism,” some generic evil.” The 9/11 commission in its final report even declares that Islamist terrorism is the “catastrophic threat” […]

Uzbekistan: Secret Police Interrogate And Beat Christians
Uzbekistan is reputed to be another beacon of Muslim moderation, but evidently that moderation doesn’t extend to dhimmis who dare to proselytize. Question: if Islam is so certain of its superiority as the last and perfect revelation from the true God, correcting and abrogating all previous revelations, why is it so unsure of itself as […]
Sheikh Al-Qaradhawi: ‘There is No Dialogue between Us and the Jews Except by the Sword and the Rifle’

Malaysia: Parents question no ‘non-halal’ food in school order

Spain condemned for selling arms to Sudan

Muslim rebels light fuse in Thailand
This report on the jihad in Thailand considers and then downplays religion as a motivating factor in the violence.
