Malaysia’s moral police
Sharia alert — in “moderate” Malaysia. From Straits Times via Malaysiakini, with thanks to Ali Dashti: They have no standard uniforms, nor do they carry weapons.

Australian charity to open Muslim orphanage in Aceh
Is not Fr. Riley still naive? Will he have any assurance that the orphanage he pays for will not teach its children hatred and contempt for the benefactor? Unlikely that he will. He probably doesn’t even know that that is a possibility. “Charity deal to open Aceh orphanage,” from AAP, with thanks to Ali Dashti: […]
“We’re not terrorists. We are people, just like everyone else.”
Of course you are, Irfan. But it’s too bad that no one at this little seminar is likely to know the right questions to ask: not “Is it rude to shake your wife’s hand?” but “What do you think of Sharia? Do you think that if the Muslim population grows to a majority or a […]

Tariq Ramadan, invited to teach there but stopped by DHS, was just the beginning. “The Fighting Islamists of Notre Dame,” by Thomas Ryan at FrontPage […]
Swedish museum: “Removal of art was not caused by email threats”
Ali Dashti has kindly sent along this additional information about the incident I posted about here, “Museum removes erotic art after Muslim anger.” Ali’s translation of extracts from Swedish article: http://www.expressen.se/index.jsp?a=237428 “The world’s largest superpower cannot protect itself, so how are you to protect yourself,” it said in one of the threatening emails the museum […]
Ostrich Authorities Deny Domestic Terrorism
A scorching article by Daniel Pipes at FrontPage (thanks to EPG) shows a disturbing pattern that law enforcement officials have yet to notice. He recounts the strange details of the Armanious murders, but there is much more: This attitude of denial fits an all-too-common pattern. I have previously documented a reluctance in nearby New York […]
Fear in New Jersey
New disclosures on the New Jersey murders from Maria Sliwa in the New York Sun, including information from Hossan Armanious’ father-in-law that the family’s jewelry was not taken: Anies Garas, whose daughter, Amal, was among the victims, told me: “The police have vouchered all of the jewelry,” he said. “None of it was taken.
