Here is yet another instance of Sharia wielding an influence in U.S. courts, courtesy of clueless dhimmi judges. An update on this story. “Tampa mosque quarrel drawing national attention,” by Tom Brennan for The Tampa Tribune, May 2: TAMPA — Power struggles can erupt in any organization; from homeowners associations to the Junior League.

Muslim Brotherhood: With Osama dead, U.S. troops should quit Iraq, Afghanistan
Sounds like a good idea to me. The quixotic Wilsonian democracy projects and hearts-and-minds initiatives were doomed from the start. But if Western analysts think that once we do withdraw, that the jihad against the U.S. will end, they’re in for a rude awakening. “Brotherhood: U.S. troops should now quit Iraq, Afghan,” from Reuters, May […]
“If it’s true Osama bin Laden is dead, then he died a martyr. He fought for Islam and he fought for the lands colonized by America”
Hamas-linked CAIR has disingenuously hailed the killing of Osama bin Laden, but note the Islamic terms in which Son Hadi and Abu Bakar Bashir speak about the killing. These people and others like them are appealing to Muslims and claiming Islamic authenticity. If Hamas-linked CAIR really opposes them, then it should explain how they’re getting […]
Hamas: “We condemn the assassination and the killing of an Arab holy warrior. We ask God to offer him mercy with the true believers and the martyrs.”
Peace partners. “Hamas condemns killing of ‘holy warrior’ bin Laden,” by Dan Williams, with reporting by Nidal al-Mughrabi for Reuters, May 2: […] “We regard this as a continuation of the American policy based on oppression and the shedding of Muslim and Arab blood,” Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip, […]
Osama’s “compound was custom built to hide someone of significance”
Who put him up there? Who knew that he was there? How long was he there? The Pakistani government needs to come clean. “A massive house with no telephone or internet connection led to bin Laden,” by Chidanand Rajghatta for TNN, May 2 (thanks to Jaladhi): Washington: A large mansion in a massive compound with […]
What Osama bin Laden is doing today
With Osama bin Laden sleeping with the fishes and all that, it is a good day to revisit Steve Martin’s classic “Seventy-two Virgins,” from the New Yorker, January 29, 2007: Virgin No. 1: Yuck. Virgin No. 2: Ick. Virgin No. 3: Ew. Virgin No. 4: Ow. Virgin No. 5: Do you like cats? I have […]
Yes, Osama is dead (but the photo is fake)
From al-Jazeera Arabic (thanks to Sarah) (I don’t know if the photo is authentic or not. But al-Jazeera is running with it in their Arabic service.) UPDATE: It’s fake, as the Guardian explains here (thanks to Paul).

Spencer: Osama Gets His Virgins
My reflections on Osama’s death, in Human Events just now: Osama bin Laden has gone to the great bordello in the sky that awaits every good jihadi. Barack Obama explained that the jihadist mastermind was killed in a “targeted operation: at Abbottabad, Pakistan: “A small team of Americans carried out the operation. After a firefight, […]
U.S. ensures that bin Laden’s body handled in accord with Islamic tradition
Here’s a telling nugget from an AP story on the death of Osama (thanks to Bryan Preston): Officials said the U.S. would ensure that bin Laden’s body was handled in accordance with Islamic tradition. But why? After all, didn’t Barack Obama say this tonight? “We must also reaffirm that the United States is not and […]
