Europe: Debate Over Head Scarves Heats Up In U.K.
Of course, the “right” to wear hijab is just the proverbial camel’s nose under the tent. This “right” rather quickly becomes a grim requirement — as women in Iran and elsewhere have discovered. It is just like conversion: one is free to convert to Islam; one is not free, however, to convert from it. Women […]
Nuclear arms reportedly found in Iraq
Relax, Mr. Kerry: nukes, but no WMD’s. And seriously, why isn’t this on the front page of the New York Times and the Washington Post? From UPI, with thanks to “Allah”: Baghdad, Iraq, Jul. 21 (UPI) — Iraqi security reportedly discovered three missiles carrying nuclear heads concealed in a concrete trench northwest of Baghdad, official […]
US, Israel, Australia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau: the Great Anti-terror Powers
The whole world has voted for terrorism — except for Australia, Israel, the US, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau. More evidence of the rank corruption and utter worthlessness of the UN. From AAP, with thanks to Kevin: Australia was among just six nations that opposed a United Nations resolution calling on Israel to tear […]
Three U.S. Allies Face New Threat in Iraq
Even though it only had 51 troops in Iraq, the Philippines has dealt the coalition and the free world a major blow by caving in to terrorist demands and withdrawing them. Not only will they not bring peace to the Philippines or the Middle East, but many more people will be murdered by the terrorists. […]
Saudis Say They Found American’s Head
Why was it in the freezer? Stored away for later propaganda use? From AP (thanks to Romy): RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – The head of slain American hostage Paul M. Johnson Jr., who was kidnapped and decapitated by militants in Saudi Arabia last month, was found by security forces during a raid that targeted the Saudi […]
Spencer vs. Kristof in Dallas
A slightly expanded version of my criticism of Nicholas Kristof’s appalling equation of Christian Fundamentalists with Islamic jihadists appears today in the Dallas Morning News: Mr. Kristof either has no clue or doesn’t care that Christianity does not have and never has had a doctrine mandating warfare against non-Christians. Islam, on the other hand, has […]
Pipe bomb in Times Square station?
Maybe. But they still can’t search backpacks. So even if there is no terrorism link here (and they always seem to say that these days) what’s to prevent there from being one next time? From AP, : A backpack that set off a small explosion in a Times Square subway station may have contained a […]
NYC Cops rip judge: ‘It’s giving an open door to terrorists’
Another activist judge makes us all a little more vulnerable.

“Allah said, ‘Make war on them until no more temptation remains'”
The Ingushetian Shura Council in Chechyna has declared jihad. Of course, jihad has been raging there for some time, so this isn’t really a new development, but there is a noteworthy point in their communiqué: the jihad is so that “the Earth could be cleansed of unbelief.” This assumes an endless jihad against unbelievers, until […]
How the Supreme Court’s “enemy combatant” and “Guantanamo detainee” decisions give aid and comfort to terrorists
Legal jihad, from Henry Mark Holzer at FrontPage. First, from the editor’s note: The article below by Henry Mark Holzer discusses the Supreme Court’s recent decision to give constitutional protection to foreign “enemy combatants.” This development, which epitomizes activist judges “legislating from the bench,” overwrites decades of precedents and undermines the country’s ability to fight […]
Kristof is the dhimmi of the world
Yes, he is. Think about it. I argued here several days ago that his ridiculous smear of evangelical Christianity would gave aid and comfort to the jihadists. And lo and behold, his piece has been picked up by the Pakistan News Service and … (ready?) … Al-Jazeera. For a little background on what Al-Jazeera is […]
Chirac: Israeli prime minister not welcome in Paris
Chirac is smarting over Sharon’s call for French Jews to flee rising antisemitism in France. That’s right, Jacques: shoot the messenger. I’ll bet Sharon’s heart is broken over this.

Terror in the Skies Part II
Annie Jacobsen’s harrowing piece “Terror in the Skies, Again?” came under fire from many quarters, including from some who claimed it was a hoax. But it was anything but, and Jacobsen provides more information in a follow-up piece in WomensWallStreet.com(thanks to Kemaste for the link): And I now have another important question… Is there a […]
Spencer: Jihad TV Comes to Canada
The latest article by Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer, “Jihad TV Comes to Canada,” is available today at FrontPage: Al-Jazeera executives have claimed that the network has been criticized by American officials only because it doesn’t accept the American understanding of the war on terror, and because it portrays the Muslim perspective on the burning […]

Man Sought for Photographing Texas City Refineries
Funny thing: I never thought of oil refineries as a popular tourist destination. I wonder if this is the same guy who was taking pictures of a Texas chemical site last winter.

According to the Norwegian paper Dagbladet, central figures in Kristiansand Progress party […]
PA Sermon: Jews and Americans are behind all chaos in Saudi Arabia
Another sermon full of peace, tolerance, and sanity from the PA. (Yes, that was a sarcastic sentence.) This is noteworthy for its reassertion of the radical Muslim insistence that rule must be according to the Sharia, as well as for its naked hostility and preposterous fantasizing regarding Jews and Americans. From IMRA: Gaza Palestine Satellite […]
