Everybody Draw Muhammad Day: In defiance of violent intimidation and in support of the freedom of speech
Nick Gillespie over at the usually reliably dhimmi Reason magazine (thanks to Amy Alkon) articulates it well: There comes a point in any society’s existence where it must ultimately, to paraphrase Martin Luther (who himself was more than happy to see opponents put to death), dig in its heels and say here we stand, we […]
Pakistan, in fury over Draw Muhammad day, shuts down Facebook, YouTube
Jihad Watch is already banned in Pakistan, so no delicate eyes will gaze on this War on Free Speech — and remember, the OIC and Co. are trying to bring it to the West. “After Facebook, Pakistan shuts down YouTube,” by Kamran Haider for Reuters, May 20 (thanks to dsinc): ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistan has […]
UCSD students quixotically ask university officials to condemn Muslim student’s pro-genocide Muslim statement
Seeking justice and sanity from a university administration is like trying to buy an Israeli flag from Hizballah — witness my exchange with a UNC administrator about the defamatory lowlife professor Omid Safi.

Times Square jihadist claims he’s indigent
There were people moving money for Shahzad, and he had connections to the Pakistani Taliban. Now none of his jihadi patrons can shoot him a few bucks for a decent lawyer now? Of course not: that would implicate them, and in any case it’s better to make the kuffar pay for it all. More on […]
Senate report scapegoats intel agencies over Christmas jihad plot, fails to address the real problem
The intelligence community is clueless and compromised, to be sure. But it is no worse than any other U.S. government agency. Until there is a wholesale reevaluation of counterterror strategy, and a realistic appraisal of the jihad doctrine and Islamic supremacism in all its forms, there will be many more failures like this one. “Intelligence […]

The story unfolds in the Swiss press, ably translated by Norman and posted by Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs: Police knew about abuse by father Svera was frank: “I’m afraid of my father.
