Congress Pressured to Ban Racial Profiling
And the pressure is coming from the Flying Imams incident, just as I predicted — with no notice given of the many questionable aspects of the incident, or of the questionable ties of the imams. If this passes, as it probably will, and is signed by the President, as is likely, Islamic jihadists will have […]
Mortars hit Iraqi girls’ school; 5 dead

Yacoub for Associated Press: BAGHDAD, Iraq – Mortar shells rained down Sunday on a girls’ secondary school in a mostly Sunni area of western Baghdad, killing five pupils and wounding 20, witnesses and […]

Glenn Beck parrots PC line, Muslim groups unsatisfied
Three pressure groups are gunning for Glenn Beck, despite the fact that he has punted on the key issue of our time, and declined to aid genuine Muslim reformers who are exploring the elements of Islam that jihadists are using to justify their actions. For Beck says here that he is “asking all of the […]

Australia: No ban on Muslim group after it called for Australia to become an Islamic state
Nonviolent Islamization is A-OK. And evidently, calls for civil war are just fine too — I guess the Australian government understands this as nonviolent civil war.

From The Associated Press: A suspected suicide attacker exploded a bomb near a Shia mosque in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar late Saturday, killing at least 11 people, including the city police chief, and wounding 35, police […]
Bush warns failure in Iraq could widen conflict
The “epic battle” between Sunnis and Shiites has been going on for fourteen hundred years. It will take a great deal more than a “surge” of American troops to prevent it indefinitely from breaking out again. From New Europe: Trying to persuade a sceptical Congress to support sending more troops to Iraq, US President George […]
Fitzgerald: Lewis would be appalled
Surely the main thing about Dinesh D’Souza is that he is: 1) a careerist with his eye on the main chance. He was among the first of those Bright Young Conservative Things — think of William Kristol — who have managed to make lavish livings for themselves, with those lecture fees, those quasi-instant books on […]
UK: Islamic school raided by police stays open
Still more UK dhimmi follies. “Islamic school raided by police stays open,” by Julie Henry in the Sunday Telegraph, : The Government has failed to close down a Muslim school that was raided by anti-terror police, despite being advised by Ofsted to deregister it. More than 100 police carried out a dawn raid at Jameah […]

Reconstruct mosques or else: Islamabad mullahs threaten suicide attacks
How come these clerics haven’t gotten the word that Islam forbids suicide? Could it be because they understand Qur’an 9:111 to promise Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah? Anyway, this is one reason why it is so difficult for our Friend and Ally Pakistan to reform madrasas. By Mohammad Kamran and […]

Let the debate begin
National Review is pushing Dinesh D’Souza’s silly and misleading book hard, running an ad that proclaims “Let the Debate Begin.” This is ironic in light of the fact that I have heard not a word from NR’s Kathryn Lopez about my open invitation to debate D’Souza there. I guess what NR is running is really […]

“If they pay we kill them anyway”
This story explains in microcosm why, contrary to what Dinesh D’Souza assumes, even cleaning up American pop culture will not end the jihad, which proceeds for reasons that spring from within Islam, and not as a reaction to outside outrages — although those outrages are used as a pretext for recruitment purposes. Mutatis mutandis, after […]
Dinesh D’Dhimmi
Serge Trifkovic, who along with me and Britney Spears causes jihad (at least in the mind of Dinesh D’Souza) responds brilliantly in “Dinesh the Dhimmi,” from Chronicles (via FrontPage; news links in the original): Nearly two years ago the Jihadist lobby in the United States made a concerted affort to have my book The Sword […]
