Anyway, that Tim McVeigh is incorrigible! He must be stopped! “Fort Hood shooting was terrorism, U.S. says,” by Phil Stewart for Reuters, January 15 (thanks to Weasel Zippers): WASHINGTON (Reuters) […]

Al-Zendani, or al-Zindani as he is styled in other reports, grounds his call to arms in explicitly Islamic terms.

Shocker in Aceh: 3 Sharia police “misused their power,” and are accused of gang rape
Abuses of power were inevitable: among Sharia’s many defects are its sense of entitlement to rule, and inadequate limitations on power and jurisdiction.
