LA Times fooled by fatwa
The LA Times doesn’t care about the terror ties of those who issued the recent America fatwa against terrorism. Nor does it care that the statement itself leaves open significant loopholes by not defining who are the “innocent” people that Muslims are forbidden to kill. Others are fooled, too: I found this article because it […]
Muslims who hate us can get out, says Tory
Anti-dhimmitude from the shadow defense minister. Watch for the coming fireworks: Howarth is likely to be excoriated by all. Yet I don’t see anywhere in history that a state lasted very long which tolerated large populations that wanted to make it over into another kind of state altogether. From The Scotsman, with thanks to Voltaire: […]
In England’s Ghettoes, bin Laden Beckons
More poverty-causes-terrorism analysis. Don’t these people ever read anything but their own recycled prejudices?

More Violence in Sudan After Garang Death
Even if his death was not due to foul play, there is suspicion stemming from how convenient it is for those who wanted to destroy the hopes for peace between northern Sudanese Muslims and southern Sudanese Christians, and to eliminate a chief obstacle to Sharia rule in the country. From Reuters, with thanks to the […]
MPACUK: Zionists Behind Terror Attacks
While Britain bends over backward to make sure Muslims don’t feel as if anyone thinks they have anything to do with terrorism, the Muslim Public Affairs Council of the UK carries this less conciliatory article at its website, blaming the Jews for terrorism — and don’t miss the accompanying illustration, which is entitled “Great Satan.” […]
Britain Begins Reaching Out to Muslims
Does this mean they will begin seriously confronting the jihad ideology? What do you think? From AP, with thanks to Satinder: LONDON – Britain began reaching out to Muslim communities Tuesday, launching what is likely to be a yearslong effort to confront the resentment and anger that helped breed suicide bombers who attacked London’s transit […]
