Hindus, Muslims to split site of former triumphal mosque built over destroyed Hindu temple
This compromise is likely to lead to more rioting and will of course satisfy no one, especially the Islamic supremacists who will continue to demand that the entire site be given to them. “Ayodhya verdict: disputed site to be split between Hindus and Muslims,” from the Telegraph, September 30 (thanks to Kristian): A disputed Indian […]
Muslim beats his wife, claims he was dancing
Breakthrough! The passage of the Qur’an that says of disobedient women, “beat them” (4:34) has now been — finally! — rightly understood. Set your Secret Qur’anic Decoder Rings to 4:34, and voila! “Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them.

The Ultimate Lesson of Egypt’s Fake Photo
One of the most widely circulated newspapers in the world, Egypt’s Al Ahram, recently ran a fake picture depicting Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak walking in front of U.S. President Barack Obama and a pack of other Mideast leaders. In fact, based on the original photo, Mubarak, the octogenarian, appeared trailing last. Why the outlandish deception […]
“Eight Germans and two British brothers” behind planned jihadist attacks on Europe

We’re simply supposed to join Pakistan in their game of Russian roulette, as one official described it, while Islamabad’s actions serve to protect what has become the country’s number one export: jihadists. “Britons training in Pakistan for UK terror attacks,” by Rob […]
Mission accomplished: Attacks on Baghdad Green Zone surge
During the surge we always maintained here that as soon as the American military presence in Iraq decreased, the jihad would resume. Only someone who doesn’t know anything about the belief-system of those who fight against Americans in Iraq, and who doesn’t believe that it is necessary to know anything about that belief system, and […]
“We will have to see whether we are allies or enemies”: Pakistan cuts NATO supply line
Several years ago, as Pakistan’s double game became increasingly obvious, I began making the point frequently that to give aid to the Pakistani government was essentially to finance the jihad, and that we should stop cutting our own throats and instead cut that aid. In late 2008, when it was confirmed that a great deal […]
Recent strikes on Pakistan driven by newly uncovered jihad plot; Pakistan threatens end of protection of supply lines, military force
Pakistan won’t do what its leaders promised, and is determined to ensure no one else does. Apparently we’re just supposed to sit back, trust duplicitous Pakistan, and get attacked again. It seems Pakistan would like that a great deal, at least until Islamabad is lost to the very jihadists it has collaborated with in the […]
Woodward book: Status of U.S. ties with Pakistan was like a “cold shower” for Obama administration
