Baltimore: School days off for Muslims unlikely
The Hillsborough County Board of Education initially made the dhimmi move of cancelling all religious holidays rather than add Muslim ones. Now the Baltimore Board is taking the more sensible line that there simply aren’t enough Muslim students to justify these holidays. In this day and age, with pusillanimity and political correctness the reigning responses […]
Major al-Qaida in Iraq Figure Jailed
I believe that Zalmay Khalilzad is painting a bit overly rosy a picture, as other details in this article suggest. However, it is good to see that Abou al-Farouq was captured on a tip from residents. Muslim-on-Muslim violence always arouses a disgust with the mujahedin that violence against non-Muslims does not arouse, and it may […]
The Internet jihad
Internet Jihad Update from a Washington Times editorial today (thanks to Gnosis): A troubling video of an insurgent sniper in Iraq known only as “Juba” is spreading across the Internet.

Qaradawi: We are Fighting in the Name of Islam…This Jihad is an Individual Duty of the Entire Muslim Nation…We Should Fight Them With the Koran: “There is a Jew Behind Me, Come and Kill Him”

Fitzgerald: Will political power lead to moderation?
Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald discusses the increasingly common misapprehension that Hamas, once in power, will moderate: This business that Bush has been repeating, of how the responsibilities of rule will likely lead to a “moderation” of Hamas” views can only be uttered by someone ignorant of history, and ignorant of a Total […]

Oh, Sir Trevor, you racist! A welcome statement in the UK, echoing one that has already been made in Australia. Other non-Muslim states should follow suit. “Muslims who want sharia law ‘should leave,’” from The Guardian, with thanks to John: Muslims who wish to live under a system of sharia law should leave Britain, the […]
