From AP: KABUL, Afghanistan – American troops on Afghanistan’s eastern frontier have seen a tripling of attacks since a truce between the Pakistani army and pro-Taliban tribesmen that was supposed to stop cross-border raids by militants, a U.S. military officer said Wednesday.

Writer of ‘anti-Islam’ article gets death threats
He “accused Islam of ‘exalting violence,’” and they threaten to kill him. Doesn’t anyone notice the irony here?

Suicide bombers follow Quran, concludes Pentagon briefing
After retailing nonsense since 9/11 about how all this jihad terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, someone in the Pentagon actually took a look at the Qur’an itself, and — lo and behold! — discovered what I have been trying to tell people for years now: that the jihadists have a broad justification within […]
Jihad Watch at Hot Air
At Hot Air today I am talking about Pope Rage on a new videoblog. Jihad Watch will henceforth be a weekly feature at Hot Air.
Esmay boils over, Preston and Malkin respond
Dean Esmay is at it again, ranting and raving in yet another Ralph-Peters-esque (credit Michelle Malkin with the phrase) substanceless hit-and-run attack, this time on Michelle herself — plus a few swipes at Jihad Watch, Little Green Footballs and the Jawa Report in his comments fields. I wouldn’t have noted it at all except that […]
Iranian TV: Disney’s ‘Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man’s Chest’ is a Pawn of the Zionist Lobby to Gain Cultural Control
From Memri a two-fer: not only Jack Sparrow but also Tom and Jerry. Who knew? “In any event, Zionism is not restricted to the capitalistic weapons companies, such as Lockheed and the banks that support it. Cinema is considered another, subtle, weapon in the hands of those who support this corrupt ideology. In Hollywood, Disney […]
Wiki Quickie
Last night some one sent in this and this. For people who are not very prominent, Wikipedia biographies can be an “attractive nuisance”. It says, to every troll, vandal, and score-settler: “Here’s an article about a person where you can, with no accountability whatsoever, write any libel, defamation, or smear. It won’t be a marginal […]

An update on this story from the Washington Times: JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesian Christians, deeply troubled by the executions of three Christians last week, say they are watching closely to see whether the government will be equally firm in dealing with three Muslims facing the ultimate sanction for their roles in the 2002 Bali bombings.

Barghouti to Israel: Failure to release top prisoners will invite more kidnappings
Blaming the victim, Barghouti claims the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers — which sparked the month-long war with Hizballah and escalated operations in the Gaza Strip — is Israel’s fault for not releasing its Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners. Of course, Barghouti has a vested interest in this, as he sits in an Israeli prison serving five […]
OIC to revive news agency, TV network to counter Western “˜bias”
Not content with simply buying influence in world media, which could take a while, the Organization of the Islamic Conference has decided to reconstitute two of its news outlets, which will no doubt bring you the human interest stories behind the effigy burnings, showcase the latest fashion in niqabs, and, yes, blame Israel and the […]
Four Buddhists shot dead in unrest
No doubt because of the Zionist occupation of Palestine. From NEWS.com.au: In one attack, two teenagers in Islamic students’ dress and riding a motorcycle, shot and killed three Buddhists in Yala, the capital of a province of the same name. “The militants exploited the fact that the men were shopping at a grocery store and […]
Merkel warns against bowing to fear of Muslim violence
Anti-dhimmitude in Germany. The idea of needing to censor Mozart may well be a breaking point in German tolerance of the creeping Islamicization of their country. From Reuters: BERLIN (Reuters) – Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Germans on Wednesday not to bow to fears of Islamic violence after a Berlin opera house canceled a Mozart work […]
Palestinian media calls pope ‘stupid,’ ‘criminal’
While both items from Palestinian media mentioned below occurred before Pope Benedict’s meeting with Muslim envoys, no one seems to be in a hurry to apologize either for the cartoon or the content of the sermon following that meeting, which was clearly not enough for those who would demand the Pope grovel for forgiveness like […]
“The only dialogue we will accept is when all other religions agree to convert to Islam”
An answer from Sheik Abu Saqer, “leader of Gaza’s Jihadia Salafiya Islamic outreach movement,” to the Pope’s invitation to Muslims to dialogue: “Pope in ‘Crusader conspiracy’ with Bush,” from WorldNetDaily.com, with thanks to Sr. Soph: JERUSALEM — Pope Benedict XVI’s meeting this week with a delegation of Muslim leaders and his calls for interfaith dialogue […]
Fitzgerald: The problem of Pakistan
Pakistan has a nuclear program based on the thefts of secrets by “Dr.” A. Q. Khan, national hero of Pakistan, and willing sharer — a Secret Sharer — of such secrets with Iran and North Korea. Pakistan has been the incubator and promoter and supporter of the Taliban, the same Pakistan that has just announced […]
Fitzgerald: Keep Tariq Ramadan out
Tariq Ramadan has once again been disallowed entry into the United States. Who will translate into English “Frere Tariq” by Catherine Fourest, which tells you all you need to know? Now that Ramadan has been exposed in France, both through his televised debates and through articles and books by no-nonsense people who set out his […]

Spencer: Keith Ellison, CAIR, and Hamas
In FrontPage this morning I examine the CAIR connection of the Muslim candidate for Congress, Keith Ellison (news links in the original): Keith Ellison (D-MN) is shaping up to be the first-ever Muslim member of Congress, and the mainstream media is treating his candidacy as a huge human-interest story and a triumph of multiculturalism. The […]
