Where is the outrage? At the time of this posting (6:23am PST), for example, the headline “Palin talks cookies” is in CNN’s top display block, but not this. It’s that low of a priority. And in the Muslim world: Where is the outrage? One thing we’ve all seen amply demonstrated is Islam’s vigorous intolerance of […]

Spencer: Court Blocks Oklahoma Sharia Ban
In FrontPage this morning I discuss Oklahoma’s Sharia ban and the block on it by a dhimmi judge: In yet another indication of the increasing alienation of the political elites from the popular will, U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange on Monday granted a temporary restraining order blocking Oklahoma’s brand-new anti-Sharia law. Seventy percent of Oklahomans […]
Whoops: Michelle Obama causes political flap in Indonesia by shaking hands with Muslim information minister
This much of the most over-the-top, obsequious outreach effort in memory didn’t quite go as planned: As James Thurber once observed: “You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward.” Video of the offending handshake is available at the link to the article, and shows Sembiring wasn’t exactly running […]

Spencer: Man Bites Dog: Muslims Foil Jihad Terror Plots
In Human Events this morning I discuss the good news about Muslims foiling jihad terror plots: There has been a spate of stories recently trumpeting the role of Muslims in foiling Islamic jihad terror plots. Al-Qaeda turncoat and former Guantanamo inmate Jabr al-Faifi, as well as the Saudi government, helped expose the Yemeni bomb plot […]
UK’s Islam Channel broke broadcasting rules by condoning marital rape, encouraging violence against women, and promoting an anti-Israel, pro-Hamas line
No one should be surprised that the Islam Channel did this. Beating is recommended for disobedient women in Qur’an 4:34, and the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas line stems from Islam’s deeply ingrained antisemitism, as per Qur’an 5:82. As for marital rape, they were just being true to the teachings of Muhammad, who said: “If a husband calls […]

It’s a winning campaign issue in modern, moderate Jordan. “Israel at the center of Jordanian elections,” by Ryan Jones for Israel Today, November 8 (thanks to Joel): It’s not only in the US where Israel is an important election issue. In neighboring Jordan, the Jewish state has actually become the primary platform item for just […]
