Pakistan: Prayers for Bin Laden in National Assembly
Reflecting “a divergent view from the official stance over the killing of Bin Laden,” and probably one that is more popular with the people of Pakistan than that official stance. “Prayers for Bin Laden in National Assembly,” from The Express Tribune, May 11 (thanks to Mehreen): Parliamentarians were stunned on Tuesday when a lawmaker led […]
Judge denies bail to Muslim who shouted “Allahu akbar” and charged cockpit on flight to San Francisco
He charged the cockpit twice, shouting “Allahu akbar.” Thus the judge had no choice but to reject the bathroom defense. “Judge denies bail for passenger who roiled Calif. flight,” from the Associated Press, May 11: SAN FRANCISCO “” A Yemen native who disrupted a San Francisco-bound flight was portrayed by prosecutors yesterday as a dangerous […]
Prime Minister of modern, moderate, secular Turkey has happy meeting with Iran’s Thug-In-Chief
Turkey continues its gallop away from secularism and toward Islam and Sharia. “Turkish prime minister meets with Iran’s Ahmadinejad,” from Today’s Zaman, May 9 (thanks to Joshua): Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the sidelines of the Fourth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC-IV) in İstanbul […]
Homeland Security: Beware of lone wolves with small arms
“What’s this I hear about…” Taken literally, that would have made for an interesting sketch to accompany the bulletin. What they mean, of course, is freelance “misunderstanders” of Islam — mysterious, hitherto unknown members of the Tiny Minority of Extremists seeking to avenge bin Laden’s death. But of course, the “ideology” as it is mentioned […]
Hamas leader: We’ll accept 1967 borders, but never recognize Israel
This makes no sense: 1967 borders with what? How can they have borders with a polity they refuse to recognize? And if they still intend to “liberate” all of “Palestine,” that means they don’t accept any borders at all, 1967 or otherwise. This is just a step to get Israel reduced to conquerable proportions, and […]
Osama’s son Omar bin Laden: Sea burial of OBL “demeans and humiliates his family and his supporters and…challenges religious provisions and feelings of hundreds of millions of Muslims”
Yet somehow the mass murder of 3,000 people in the name of Islam doesn’t demean or humiliate his family and his supporters, or challenge religious provisions and feelings of hundreds of millions of Muslims. “Bin Laden son calls burial at sea ‘humiliating,’” from Reuters, May 10: A statement purporting to come from a son of […]
“Maybe he was looking for the bathroom”: Family defends Muslim who stormed cockpit, shouting “Allahu akbar” as plane approached San Francisco
Of course. I mean, who doesn’t shout “Allahu akbar” while on the way to the airplane bathroom, and pound on the cockpit door when finding the bathroom occupied? It happens every day. Relax. I thought it was a search for pretzels, but this makes much more sense. “‘Maybe he was looking for the bathroom’: Family […]
U.S. suspects Pakistan leaked CIA station chief’s name in retaliation for bin Laden raid
Our Friend and Ally continues to bend over backwards to show how sincere it is in its cooperation with its American “partners.” Once again, as Panetta said: they’re either complicit or incompetent. Or quite likely, willfully incompetent and claiming plausible deniability. “U.S. suspects leak of CIA station chief’s name was retaliation for bin Laden raid,” […]
Pakistan says it will let U.S. question bin Laden’s wives
Perhaps they realized that stonewalling outright on the issue proved America’s point about their non-cooperation and validated keeping them out of the loop on the bin Laden raid all over again. That said, Pakistan has left itself plenty of room to move the goalposts. Don’t be surprised if someone has to cut down a tree […]
