Now that will fix all of society’s problems! Economy? Standard of living? It’s all the consequence of one gigantic, collective bad (i.e. un-Islamic) hair day. Oh, and Israel. Can’t forget that.

“Don’t be fooled” by tributes to “moderate” Hizballah cleric
Since his death, Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah has been hailed as a “merciful father” by Hassan Nasrallah, and in the West as a “moderate” Muslim, largely for having expressed disapproval of the 9/11 attacks. But there is much more to Fadlallah’s story that has been so quickly forgotten. “Sheikh Fadlallah was the terrorist mastermind behind the […]

Muslim commentator: “I find many statements in [the] Quran are not defensible in the justice system of the civilized world”
He said it, along with many other trenchant observations in this editorial that would get a non-Muslim a barrage of accusations of “Islamophobia” and “racism.” May he remain safe from his brethren who are offended by his honesty. “Headmaster Beheaded in Afghanistan by Taliban,” by A Mohit on Technorati, July 4: One more entry in […]
