Writer of ‘anti-Islam’ article gets death threats

Suicide bombers follow Quran, concludes Pentagon briefing
After retailing nonsense since 9/11 about how all this jihad terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, someone in the Pentagon actually took a look at the Qur’an itself, and — lo and behold! — discovered what I have been trying to tell people for years now: that the jihadists have a broad justification within […]

Esmay boils over, Preston and Malkin respond
Dean Esmay is at it again, ranting and raving in yet another Ralph-Peters-esque (credit Michelle Malkin with the phrase) substanceless hit-and-run attack, this time on Michelle herself — plus a few swipes at Jihad Watch, Little Green Footballs and the Jawa Report in his comments fields.

Barghouti to Israel: Failure to release top prisoners will invite more kidnappings
Blaming the victim, Barghouti claims the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers — which sparked the month-long war with Hizballah and escalated operations in the Gaza Strip — is Israel’s fault for not releasing its Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners. Of course, Barghouti has a vested interest in this, as he sits in an Israeli prison serving five […]
OIC to revive news agency, TV network to counter Western “˜bias”
Not content with simply buying influence in world media, which could take a while, the Organization of the Islamic Conference has decided to reconstitute two of its news outlets, which will no doubt bring you the human interest stories behind the effigy burnings, showcase the latest fashion in niqabs, and, yes, blame Israel and the […]
