It just happens that the mysterious gas only appears at girls’ schools — and that the Taliban have been fierce opponents of the education of girls. “Gas Sickened Girls in Afghan Schools,” by Rod Nordland for the New York Times, August 31: KABUL, Afghanistan — Blood tests have confirmed that a mysterious series of cases […]

Iran, chief beneficiary of US incursion in Iraq, welcomes US pullout
And urges punishment for the “invaders.” The Thug-In-Chief didn’t even offer a word of thanks to Washington for all that the U.S. has done for Iran in Iraq. “Iran welcomes US pullout, urges punishment for Iraq invaders,” from AFP, September 1: TEHRAN: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad welcomed the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq but […]
Iraq: “The minority religious communities here have very little faith in the Iraqi forces; many are actually scared of them”
Trouble for religious minorities in Iraq is on the increase. “Remember religion’s role in Iraq,” by The Rev’d Canon Dr. Andrew P B White in the Washington Post, August 31 (thanks to AINA): The withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq is a significant event for the religious communities and those, who like me, serve […]
Back to school!
“A few days after Jesus had died on the cross and been buried, his apostles claimed that they had seen and talked with him. They believed that Jesus was indeed the messiah and had risen from the dead, or been resurrected.” — Global History and Geography: The Growth of Civilization, by Henry Brun, Lillian Forman […]
Please bring flags, not signs, to the 9/11 rally against the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero
Pamela and I respectfully request that those of you who will be attending our protest against the Ground Zero mega mosque bring American flags, not signs. 9 x 12 sized flags. Nothing with big poles: the NYPD won’t allow big poles. Please get the word out now. We are asking that we all respect and […]
UK: Islamophobes distribute leaflets calling for the murder of Ahmadi Muslims — no, wait…
Actually Islamic supremacists are distributing the leaflets, since mainstream Muslims consider the Ahmadis heretics and thus that their lives are forfeit. What’s that you were saying about “Islamophobia,” Honest Ibe? “Incitement to Murder Muslims in Surrey,” by Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens in Standpoint, September 1 (thanks to Matt): A local Surrey newspaper has reported that extremists are […]
Islamophobes murder 18 with suicide bombs at Shi’ite procession — no, wait…
Actually it was Islamic jihadists, yet again. You’d think that this sort of thing would lead groups like the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations to be much more concerned with Muslim-on-Muslim jihad violence than with the largely chimerical threat of “Islamophobia.” You’d think wrong. “Suicide blasts in Lahore […]
Bloomberg: Funding of Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero should not be investigated
This is getting so ridiculous, one wonders if Bloomberg himself has something to hide in not wanting the mosque’s finances investigated. He is here in effect saying that any group can now call itself a religious organization and then engage in shady financial dealings with impunity. Talk about setting a “terrible precedent.” “Mayor Opposes Examining […]
Netherlands: Man jailed for sending “No Jihad” t-shirt to town hall
Resistance to jihad is an arrestable offense in Rotterdam now? What would have happened if the t-shirt had read “Jihad in a Rotterdam street”? In that case, he probably would have been elected head of the town council. “Man Jailed for Delivering T-Shirt at Town Hall,” from NIS News, September 1 (thanks to Fjordman): THE […]
What Hamas-linked CAIR won’t tell you at its press conference today
Hamas-linked CAIR is having a press conference today to proclaim Islamic moderation and whine about “Islamophobia.” Here is a handy guide to some of the things they are certain not to mention: CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding […]
