Most of the stories that have gone out about Abdulmutallab’s Internet postings focused on what a lonely fellow he was. This little tidbit about the great Islamic empire has not been as widely reported. “My jihad fantasy.. Muslims will win and rule the world – UMAR ABDULMUTALLAB,” by Andrew Gregory for the Mirror, December 30 […]

Report: Iran looking to smuggle raw uranium from Kazakhstan
If the nuclear program is just for the peaceful generation of electricity, why all the secrecy, in this case and across the board? “Intel Report: Iran Looking to Smuggle Raw Uranium,” from the Associated Press, December 29: VIENNA — Iran is close to clinching a deal to clandestinely import 1,350 tons of purified uranium ore […]
Apostate girl’s mail to be screened because of “letter-writing campaigns to Rifqa publicized on blogs that malign Islam”
The phrase “letter-writing campaigns to Rifqa publicized on blogs that malign Islam” is doubtless a reference to Pamela Geller’s initiative to have Christmas cards sent to Rifqa — but complaining about “blogs that malign Islam” sells a lot better than saying straight out, as they did before, that they’re trying to seize this poor girl’s […]
Radical Christian underwear bomber!
Here’s one for Ralph and Dinesh now, given new relevance by the Flight 253 underwear jihadist. (Thanks to Weasel Zippers.)
Ralph Peters mugged by reality
Ralph Peters, call your office: “a rotten core of American extremists” is out to make it harder for moderate Muslims again, just as you warned us in 2006 that they would do.

Holder laments influence of “people who have misinterpreted Islam”
And those Misinterpreters are so numerous and influential! “Mr. Nice Guy: Eric Holder Jr. on investigating torture, closing Guantánamo … and a certain former vice president,” by Daniel Klaidman for Snoozeweek, December 21 (thanks to Charles): What we’ve seen in the recent past, I think, is an indication of one of the things that we’re […]
Swiss minaret vote “was quite simply a reaction to the ever more shrill demands of Europe’s Islamic leaders for special rights and special treatment”
On December 24, the Arab American News published a piece called “Minaret ban indicates evolving fascism” by Ali Moossavi, in which Moossavi, with a Charles-Johnsonish flair for defamation, characterized those concerned about the Islamization of Europe as neofascists. Predictably, Moossavi paid no attention to the fact that there is no similar reaction in Europe against […]
Islamic supremacists say one thing in English, another in Arabic
“Al-Qaeda’s Zawahiri Accuses Obama of Trying to ‘Enslave’ Arab World.” So reads the headline of a recent Fox News report, which goes on to quote Zawahiri saying things such as “Obama’s policy is nothing but another cycle in the Crusader and Zionist campaign to enslave and humiliate us, and to occupy our land and steal […]
