A Hamas-Haredi Dilemma: Who is a Jew? What is a Jewish tree?
Comments by David G. Littman in his capacity as a failed letter-writer to the International Herald Tribune: I went through the ritual of sending a letter to the International Herald Tribune, knowing full well it would not be published. For 30 years and more, all my letters were accepted, especially from 1986 on UN topics […]
Honor killing in Turkey: Girl murdered by 15-year-old brother
Ninety percent of honor killings worldwide are done by Muslims. Yet the world human rights organizations continue to look the other way and treat the practice as purely “cultural,” instead of calling Islamic countries to account for their tolerance of honor killing. “Turkey: Honor Killing; Girl Murdered By 15-Years-Old [sic] Brother,” from ANSAmed, July 22 […]
Malaysian city: All entertainment outlets must close during Ramadan
Even (horror of horrors!) karaoke centers. There Is No Fun In Islam, as Khomeini reminded us. Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Malaysia: “Kangar Entertainment Outlets Not Allowed To Operate During Ramadan,” from Bernama, July 22 (thanks to Twostellas): KANGAR, July 22 (Bernama) — All entertainment outlets here including karoake centres must stop their operations during […]
Questions surround U.S. jihad blogger InshallahShaheed’s rise as al-Qaeda propagandist
Samir Khan has seemingly encountered no resistance as he went from a twerp with a computer sponging off of his parents to a high-profile al-Qaeda propagandist, now living in Yemen, nearer the operations of al-Qaeda’s franchise in the Arabian Peninsula. There is a very valid question regarding whether investigators made a tactical decision (as many […]

Caucasus: Jihad against hydroelectric power
Symbolically, trying to plunge the area into darkness is rather appropriate for the jihadists. “Two killed in hydro plant terrorist attack,” from ABC.au and Reuters, July 21 (thanks to Dumbledoresarmy): Russia says Muslim militants are behind a deadly attack on a hydro electric power plant in the volatile North Caucasus region. Militant fighters attacked the […]
Convert to Islam who gained notoriety for threatening South Park creators arrested on “unrelated terror charge”
Unrelated to South Park, at least — there certainly is a common thread connecting his actions. In this case, Zachary Chesser decided he wanted to join al-Shabaab, the perpetrators of the recent massacre in Uganda. Interestingly, he also planned to travel to Somalia through via Uganda to cover his tracks. An update on this story. […]
That time of year: Hamas-linked CAIR selects a target for Ramadan harassment
Eating on the factory floor: what could be wrong with that? Well, hygiene considerations aside, there is the fact that demanding a privilege that would be flatly forbidden of other employees is not “equal” treatment. That is, unless any and every worker now gets to snack on the job as well. On the other hand, […]
Iran’s supreme leader tells Muslims to fight American and British “terrorism”
A prime example of the uselessness of the term “terrorism.” First, it is a method, and not an ideology, and thus lends itself to broad applications without describing the reason for the supposed “terrorism.” And allegations of terrorism are quite easy to come by — one will recall the charges of “religious terrorism” and “moral […]
