“Because politics and religion are two extremely sensitive subjects” in Lebanon.” Uh, is Barbie politics or religion? Anyway, watch the fun when Islamic hardliners in the West begin demanding this kind of censorship, and these demands start colliding with the sensibilities of their Leftist patrons. “Lebanon: Photos of Jesus, Barbie, Nasrallah Banned From Show,” from […]

And details how they are still planning “mass-casualty attacks” in Britain. More on this story. “Report identifies UK terrorist enclaves,” by Sean Rayment for the Telegraph, November 9 (thanks to Europe News): Secret enclaves of al-Qaeda extremists based in London, Birmingham and Luton are planning mass-casualty attacks in Britain, according to a leaked Government intelligence […]

“Robert Spencer has written the definitive book on radical jihadists. It’s a brilliant and remarkable analysis and exposé of how Western society has succumbed corruptively to intimidation and appeasement and the demands of radical Islam. This book is a MUST READ for anyone wanting to know the truth about radical Islam’s threat to the West […]

One week earlier, jihadists purged a Thailand village of its last Buddhist family (by, among other things, shooting a 72 year-old woman in the head). Wonder who was behind this latest, and equally cowardly, attack? “Buddhist killed in drive-by shooting in Songkhla,” from The Nation, November 11 : Pattani – A gunman riding pillion on […]

Some soccer balls carry the flags of nations like Saudi Arabia—the latter depicting the words “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah,” with a sword to stress the point, which, incidentally, non-Muslims may find “offensive.” But who cares about that? “2010 ads offend Muslims,” from The Times, November 11: […]

More on this story. “Gold’n Plump settles worker lawsuits,” from the Star Tribune, November 10: As many as 100 Somali Muslims who are current and former workers at Gold’n Plump Inc. will receive a total of $365,000 in a settlement of federal lawsuits […]

Not too long ago Ayaan Hirsi Ali was being interviewed by a Canadian tool (who ultimately went to work for Al-Jazeera), and he kept asking her why she didn’t seem to think that American militarism and imperialism and such were just as dangerous as the threat of Islamic jihad and Islamic supremacism. Finally, after several […]

Echoing a similarly hollow condemnation from this past summer, which also argued that while “terrorism” is destructive, “jihad” is constructive. As such, this declaration does nothing toward stopping jihadist violence. Rather, it dodges any responsibility for that violence on the part of Islamic texts and teachings, and aims to reinforce the notion among the uninformed […]

“Bakri, 50, gave the order to followers to hatch an escape plan just days after Qatada was freed from jail and placed under house arrest.” Urgent questions for British authorities: Who are Bakri’s followers in Britain? How many are there? More on this story. “Bakri bid for pal’s breakout,” by Tom Wells for The Sun, […]

As noted in earlier coverage, this quota scheme is problematic in several ways. Of particular concern is the low standard the quotas set for deciding when there are “enough” non-Muslims in the legislature, which also sets the bar very low for determining what constitutes an “excess” of non-Muslim representation. And that will only make it […]
