Bill Clinton: “The Israelis have to decide whether they want to share the future in a positive way with a constructive Palestinian state”
The Israelis have to decide that? The Palestinians apparently are already all on board with the idea of peaceful coexistence with Israel, and have forgotten all about that jihad business? What planet is Bill Clinton on? The same planet, of course, that is inhabited by most of the learned analysts when it comes to the […]
Fitzgerald: Iran and its Science Project
Has the Western world, and has the American government in particular, gone mad? Does it not see, with Pakistan, the hideous situation created when a Muslim state acquires nuclear weapons? The Americans now are in the position of having to protect the corrupt and hopeless government of Zardari, a crooked zamindar (whose wife, Benazir Bhutto, […]
Steyn: “If it weren’t for the frothing loony ranting wackjob haters of the blogosphere a 16-year old girl murdered for not wanting to be imprisoned by her family’s culture would be entirely forgotten”
Mark Steyn weighs in on the National Post’s Chris Selley’s smear of Pamela Geller’s attempt to memorialize honor killing victim Aqsa Parvez — an attempt I have been proud to support and assist: “Aqsa to grind,” by Mark Steyn, February 21 (thanks to all who sent this in): For reasons best known to himself, The […]
Photo of former Boston-based jihadist does not depict her torture by Americans, as was widely reported
A milk bottle incident So says her husband, anyway. You may have seen the picture above last year, when the formerly Boston-based jihadist Aafia Siddiqui was captured in Afghanistan. The photo was widely circulated as indicating that Siddiqui had been tortured in U.S. custody; I received a large amount of hate mail like this one: […]
Pakistan Airline bans employee beards, jihad group fumes it’s a “stark violation of Sunnah and an attempt to please the West”
Not on Pakistan International Airlines, please It’s an anti-Islamic attempt to please the West! The upshot of this, then, is that any mitigation of Sharia norms is illegitimate: Western governments should take careful note of the invoking of France at the end of this article. “PIA banned sporting beard to please West: Jamaat,” from Express […]
Global jihad groups could be behind rocket attacks from Lebanon and Gaza

Fitzgerald: A tribute to Thomas Friedman
Unimportant in himself, Tom Friedman has become important by virtue of his station: he is one of the columnists for The New York Times. He is read, and by many, and is assumed to know whereof he speaks. He has a line in name-dropping (“When I met with the ambassador” or “when I had a […]
Al-Qaeda second banana: “The jihad to liberate Palestine and all the homelands of Islam mustn’t cease…and Crusader and Jewish targets are spread all over the world”
Fighting phantom Crusaders He doesn’t want Hamas to accept a truce with Israel — despite the fact that Hamas would only do so in order to gather strength to fight the Israelis more fiercely later. “Al-Qaida No. 2 urges Hamas: Don’t agree to Gaza truce,” from The Associated Press, February 23 (thanks to James): Al-Qaida’s […]

The Bulletin of Christian Worldwide Persecution
As one reads the following numerous anecdotes of Christian persecution at the hands of Islam, the one thing to bear in mind is that this is but a tithe of what really goes on in the Islamic world (and possibly the UK) — most of which never makes it to the media. “The Bulletin of […]
Yemen: Muslim anti-Semitism prompts Jewish immigration
Persecuted for being Jewish Considering that the prophet of Islam, Muhammad himself, said, “I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim,” it is difficult to find fault in the following Muslim behavior — from an Islamic perspective, that is. “Al Qaeda’s Rise in Yemen Prompts […]

Under Taliban, “misogyny is being systematized in Swat” in an “unprecedented” manner

Muzzammil Hassan founded Bridges TV in order to improve the image of American Muslims. He ended up beheading his wife in the Bridges TV offices.

Canada: Non-Muslim’s human rights complaint against the Qur’an dismissed
Incitement to hatred against non-Muslims? In the Qur’an, the Book of Peace? You gotta be kidding!

But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, […]

The dead person was […]
Thug-In-Chief: “Iran, along with other world countries, is waiting to witness real changes in the U.S.”
U.S. “bullying” is no good, but it’s OK for me to bully Israel Here again we see, as discussed here, that appeasement only emboldens the power that is being appeased. While Ahmadinejad rails about “bullying,” it is of course he who is the only one who is behaving like a bully. “Iran’s president calls for […]
