In World Net Daily today I discuss a disquieting court case in Memphis: With two young girls murdered in Texas, likely victims of an “honor killing” by their father just weeks ago, is it wise for American authorities to ignore death threats issued by a Muslim father to his non-Muslim children?

‘Independent’ Kosovo: A threat, not a country
James George Jatras, director of the American Council for Kosovo, explains in WorldNetDaily why Kosovar independence is so ill-advised: Abraham Lincoln was fond of asking the rhetorical question: “If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?

I just removed a patently offensive comment…
…from this thread, “USF Muslim students trying to get bomb evidence thrown out, say cop was racist.” I am accumulating evidence that such comments are planted here by provocateurs, so as to discredit this site.

Palestinian aide suggests Kosovo a model
They didn’t waste any time in starting to exploit the situation in Kosovo, and the precedent that Western recognition of its independence has set. Some interesting questions remain, however: Would they unilaterally declare the “West Bank” an independent state? Then, what about Hamas-controlled Gaza?

“There was not anti-Semitism in the past, but with the Saudi charities here now we are seeing a Wahhabi influence for the first time” – one of the 50 remaining Jews in Kosovo
It bears repeating that all of the Wahhabists’ material comes from the Qur’an, ahadith and Sira — anti-Semitic material which may be ignored, but has not been repudiated on a large scale by Muslims and Islamic institutions. “Kosovo Jews uncertain about future,” by Dana Spritzer for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency: … There are some 50 […]

Photos and story come from Gateway Pundit (thanks to Doug). What’s wrong with a minaret with loudspeakers?

“Muslims fight against Jews and they kill them”
Who said that? Matthias Kuntzel? Bernard Lewis? Robert Spencer? No, it was that Australian Misunderstander of Islam, David Hicks. Where did he get that idea?
