The Turks are irked. The Turks are irked. What kind of jerk would irk the Turks? Why, converts from Islam to Christianity, of course. It’s a crime to insult Islam in modern, moderate, secular Turkey.

UK: “Why has the Left’s favourite magazine ended up thinking that the way to boost its tiny and dwindling circulation is to become an Islamic magazine?”
Leftist/Jihadist Alliance Update from Absurd Britannia. “Friday prayers at the New Statesman,” by Douglas Murray in the Telegraph, February 12: More people moan about the New Statesman than buy it.

He must be some kind of Islamophobe. “Ex-PM Mahdi blasts Sudan ruling […]
New Obama envoy to OIC has long history of dalliances with Muslim Brotherhood
As if this coverup weren’t enough. The Muslim Brotherhood “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made […]
