Most of them left […]
Somalia: Al-Shabaab bans Red Cross from aid work

Islamic honor killer Shafia’s “arrogance” and “hubris” convinced him that he could get away with murder
Why shouldn’t Mohammad Shafia have been arrogant and hubristic? It would have been more surprising if he had not been. Just look at how Islamic supremacist spokesmen in the West always deal with anti-jihadists: not with legitimate discussion, not with honest engagement with legitimate concerns, but with exceeding and almost incredible arrogance, endless torrents of […]

Saudi grand mufti says Muslims should avoid Twitter, which is “full of lies”

Palestinian Authority TV airs show praising attackers who killed five members of Jewish family as “heroes”
But deep down, they really want peace! Once again, the “moderate” guys are caught acting less than moderately.
