…Again. Once was bizarre enough, but then again, the man is a qualified authority on bizarre behavior. “Gadhafi gives lesson on Islam to young Italians,” by Nicole Winfield for the Associated Press, August 29 (thanks to all who sent this in): ROME — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gave a lesson on Islam and copies of […]

“The mosque developers are tax deadbeats,” to the tune of $224,270.77
Remember, this group could qualify for taxpayer-supported public financing. Looks like they need to pony up a little taxpayer support of their own. Still more on this story. “Mosque big owes 224G tax,” by Isabel Vincent and Melissa Klein for the New York Post, August 29 (thanks to all who sent this in): The mosque […]
Waiter-turned-millionaire Ground Zero mega-mosque developer El-Gamal has a history of thuggishness
The thuggish, in-your-face aspect of the desire to build a mosque at Ground Zero has by now been amply documented: belying their claims to be building it only to affect reconciliation and peace, mosque leaders have smeared all opponents of the mosque as racists and bigots and refused all entreaties to put their mosque elsewhere. […]
Oh, waiter: Ground-Zero Gamal won’t answer questions about his real estate dealings
The thug who lost his cool yesterday, snapping at the press and acting as if he had something to hide, apparently has a lot to hide. Why would the Ground Zero mosque proponents employ what is, by all appearances, the worst possible man to conduct a supposedly open and transparent fundraising process? Obviously, it should […]
FBI: Hate crimes against Muslims rare
This is why they have to fabricate them. Remember: the thuggish Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has actually trumpeted fake anti-Muslim hate crimes in the past, in order to use them to score political points. They did this again just weeks ago in Georgia. CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding case, has claimed […]
Awkward: Mosque developer, imam clash in front of press over media access
And El-Gamal loses his cool, which seems to happen an awful lot, in a pattern going back many years. Gamal was apparently caught off-guard here, and clearly acted as though he had something to hide. “Mosque Meeting in Disarray,” by Sumathi Reddy for the Wall Street Journal, August 28 (thanks to all who sent this […]
“Your tax dollars at work”: Ground Zero mega-mosque could get public financing
As if you didn’t already know you have a personal stake in the outcome of this project. Imagine, as a New York taxpayer, a piece of your daily labor being appropriated to enable its construction. When developers get a break that’s made possible with public money — say, for a football stadium — there is […]
Afghanistan: Jihadists in U.S. Army uniforms attack NATO base
Quoth Muhammad: “War is deceit.” “Insurgents attack 2 bases in east Afghanistan,” by Rahim Faiez for the Associated Press, August 28: KABUL, Afghanistan – Insurgents wearing U.S. Army uniforms launched pre-dawn attacks Saturday on a major NATO base in eastern Afghanistan and a nearby camp where seven CIA employees were killed last year in a […]
Italy: No tax revenues to mosques
“Politicians from the ruling coalition cite radical imams, polygamy and failure to uphold women’s rights by Muslims immigrants as obstacles to recognising Islam as an official religion in Italy.” All eminently reasonable concerns. Meanwhile, the standard response from “moderates” would be to insist these issues have nothing to do with Islam, but are in fact […]
Nigeria “Education Is Sin” jihad group suspected in targeted killings of three police officers
Western education, that is. Islamic education, fine. “Nigeria killings raise fears of Muslim sect’s return,” from The Associated Press, August 27 (thanks to Twostellas): MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — The targeted killing of three police officers in northern Nigeria has investigators worried a radical Muslim sect may be making a violent comeback. Two state police commissioners told […]
