Saudi prof misunderstands Islam, says suicide bombings okay in Tel Aviv, not in Riyadh

Somali jihad group threatens journalists

I. Rosenbaum are their best friends. “Hizbul Islam threaten Somalia journalists,” from Garowe Online, October 24 (thanks to James): MOGADISHU, […]
Maureen Dowd decries Islam’s misogyny — no, wait…
Wizbang has the story. This has been going on for a long time.

See my articles on this: “Feminists Betray Muslim Women“; “The Conservative Vanguard of […]

Twin suicide car bombings in Baghdad kill at least 100

Au revoir, douce France
Pamela has posted a haunting video of the decline of France. It put me in mind of Hugh Fitzgerald’s classic essay Douce France, which is always worth revisiting: Imagine that you are a cosseted member of the French elite. One child is doing the khâgne, aiming for rue d’Ulm. Another is now a politechnicien. You […]
Egypt: Muslims stone Coptic churches in dispute that started over Christian man dating Muslim woman
