Shocker: French Muslims complain of feeling “stigmatized” after woman fined for driving with vision obscured by niqab
The rules of “rock-paper-scissors” are more grounded in reality: here, hurt feelings trump safety behind the wheel.

Saudi Arabia: Head of Mecca’s religious police under fire for deviating from party line

And the fact that this “civil rights” organization is linked to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and has had several of its officials convicted of terror activity — that wouldn’t impugn […]

Franklin Graham Banned by the Pentagon for Telling the Truth About Islam,” by Doug Giles, April 24: Franklin Graham, distinguished Christian minister and son of an American evangelical treasure (i.e. Billy Graham) was banned from praying at the Pentagon for their upcoming May 6th National Day of Prayer […]
Abbas to Obama: Put up or shut up
Impose a Palestinian state (i.e., new jihad base) upon Israel, Abbas demands of Obama, or stop blustering about it.
