July 9, 1896
On this day 109 years ago, in another context, practically in another universe, William Jennings Bryan spoke these words.

Lodi Terror Suspects Say Six Others Attended Camp
Six more California jihadists. Were they expelled from their mosque? No: the imam was in on it.

British Evacuate Birmingham District
There are two current schools of thought: one, that the Brits’ resolve is strengthened, and the other, that they will eventually appease the jihadists.

Watson: Other than our Governments, who do Muslims think they”re fooling?
DC Watson wonders where to find any evidence supporting the “religion of peace” line we dhimmis are supposed to swallow: On Thursday, July 7, 2005, adherents of Islam, the “religion of pieces,” once again demonstrated their expertise in sneak attacking innocent, unsuspecting people.

G8 pays jizya to Palestinians
The day after the London bombing, the Group of Eight pledged to give $3 billion to the Palestinians.

U.S. frees more Taliban suspects in Afghanistan
More idiocy from military officials who refuse to understand that jihadists will perceive demonstrations of compassion only as weakness. From Reuters, with thanks to Skeetstreet: KABUL (Reuters) – The U.S. military freed 76 Taliban suspects on Saturday as part of an effort to encourage rank and file guerrillas to lay down their arms, the latest […]
Islamic reformist hosts website used by group to claim responsibility
I have maintained for quite some time that there is no separation within the Islamic community worldwide between “moderates” and “radicals.” One of the most telling indications that Muslim condemnations of this or that terrorist act may not be sincere is that mosque leaders in Western countries have made no concerted effort to bar from […]
