Are you starting to notice a pattern? “Pope leads condemnation of Egypt church attack,” from Agence France-Presse, January 1 (thanks to all who sent this in): […] The Islamist Palestinian movement Hamas also condemned the attack, saying it was “certain it was the work of elements acting against the interests of Egypt and looking to […]
Iran’s PressTV: Egypt church bombing part of “organized Zionist scenario aimed at creating a rift between Muslims and Christians”
This theme is becoming more common: we have seen it recently from a Saudi Sheikh and the Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch. Perhaps this is part of a Big Lie strategy — if they repeat it often enough, their marks among the Western Left will believe it. “Mossad behind Egypt church blast,” from Iran’s PressTV, January […]

Sharia in Sweden: Ice hockey referee suspended for Muhammad cartoon on Facebook

Israel arrests five Muslims for plotting to fire rocket into Jerusalem stadium
Two were described as “active in the militant Islamic movement Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood in Jerusalem,” with additional support from Saudi members of the Muslim Brotherhood. Of course, the Muslim Brotherhood has also extended its reach into the West through various front groups. The tactics differ, but the agenda is the same. “Arabs held […]
Wife of failed Stockholm jihadist: “Some people said Taimour is a martyr. I don’t know whether he is or he isn’t. All I can say is that I totally condemn terrorism”
The Mrs. has done us one favor here in amply demonstrating the uselessness of condemnations of “terrorism” by Islamic groups. Why?

And that is exactly where Wifey is expressing mixed feelings, or just doesn’t want […]
