Let him speak. Let the world hear him preach Islam and jihad and explain that that was why he murdered thirteen people in cold blood. Let the world see a jihadist justifying his actions. “Fort Hood suspect’s defense has few options,” by Angela K. Brown for the Associated Press, July 9: FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) […]

Aftermath of Bersih rally in Malaysia: Government warns non Muslims to not attack Islam
Yesterday’s opposition rally in downtown Kuala Lumpur is now history, and in the aftermath is being frantically spun by both sides as maneuvering continues in the court of public opinion. The rally has been proclaimed as a ‘victory’ by both. The opposition and Bersih managed to get its message of electoral reform a significant amount […]
Film at 11: Gray Lady single-handedly attacks all of Pakistan!
There is a familiar level of hyperbole in Pakistan’s response to a recent New York Times editorial “that said there was evidence of complicity by the ISI intelligence agency in sheltering bin Laden, of ties to the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people and of involvement in the abduction and murder of Asia Times […]
Pakistan to U.S.: Come on, share that intel on Zawahiri!
There’s just one small problem: intelligence shared with Pakistan has a funny way of winding up in the wrong hands. “Pakistan urges U.S. to share intelligence on Zawahri,” by Zeeshan Haider for Reuters, July 10 (thanks to Ima Freeman): ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistani called on the United States on Sunday to share information about new […]
Australia: Proposed laws requiring women in niqab to show face to law enforcement decried as “culturally insensitive”
Here’s a thought: perhaps the niqab is “culturally insensitive” to Australians. In the West, the female face is not a private part. Carnita Matthews‘ case in Australia was an unfortunate demonstration of how the niqab can be used to game the system: her conviction and prison term were overturned because she could not be positively […]
Kashmir: Muslims protest college’s golden jubilee celebration as un-Islamic
Such an event would be an imitation of a non-Muslim celebration. The festivities also included music, which ample ahadith record Muhammad as detesting. This report serves to demonstrate again the consistency of restrictions that arise wherever Islamic supremacists gain sufficient strength to impose Sharia on any level. “Jammu & Kashmir: Trouble over radical Islam,” from […]
U.S. to suspend or cancel up to $800 million in military aid to Pakistan
Honestly, a few solid gold toilets ordered stateside might be a better investment of that $800 million. There are also more practical uses. “U.S. Is Deferring Millions in Pakistani Military Aid,” by Eric Schmitt and Jane Perlez for the New York Times, July 9: WASHINGTON “” The Obama administration is suspending and, in some cases, […]
Interpol issues “red notice” for four Hizballah suspects in Hariri assassination
What remains to be seen is whether there is any political will to hold the four accountable in Lebanon, which is now under a Hizballah-dominated government. Left unchallenged for far too long, Hizballah’s parallel state has become a sort of suicide vest wrapped around Lebanon, and an instrument of blackmail whereby Hizballah can threaten to […]
Egypt: “The best way to eliminate someone politically is to accuse him of having ties with Israel.”
Conspiracy theories are a handy thing in that they don’t have to make sense, and they allow one to abdicate responsibility for a situation, because it is ultimately in the hands of the supposedly hidden puppeteers. Bad economy? Blame Israel. “Sectarian strife?” Blame Israel. Bad hair day? There’s probably a way to pin that on […]
South Sudan independent, jihad continues
The Republic of South Sudan is independent today. But the jihad against it is sure not to let up. This new nation deserves the support of all free nations. “Jihad In Sudan Redux,” from Christian News Today, July 9: On July 9, the mostly Christian South Sudan will legally and officially separate from the Muslim […]
