Here is still further confirmation of Pakistan’s double game. This story notes an interesting means by which Pakistan tries to maintain plausible deniability of its connections: the extensive use of retired generals and intelligence officials. “Pakistani Military Still Cultivates Militant Groups, a Former Fighter Says,” by Carlotta Gall for the New York Times, July 3 […]

Pakistani clerics call U.S.-sponsored gay rights meeting “cultural terrorism,” an attack almost as dangerous as drone strikes
There are at least two noteworthy aspects of this report. One is the pitch of the rhetoric, supported by Sharia’s punishments for homosexual acts, which Pakistan upholds. The other is that the report offers yet another case study in the useless elasticity of the term “terrorism.” It is quite the case of selective outrage, as […]
U.K.: Over 22,000 girls at risk of being taken abroad for female genital mutilation
The politically correct article of faith included at the end of this report is that “there are no legitimate cultural or religious reasons.” By Western standards, there is indeed no legitimate reason. As for its prevalence in the Muslim world, authorities may find false reassurance in the notion that FGM is not spelled out as […]
Iran opts for procedural delay of death sentence for apostasy
Yusef (also spelled “Youcef”) Nadarkhani has been asked to “repent” again, and for the moment, the case has been sent back to the court in his hometown. Perhaps the case was becoming too much of an occasion for bad publicity for Iran. In any case, the courts have adopted a stalling tactic without implementing any […]

U.K. jihadist manual: Pretend you’re gay to avoid suspicion and female spies
In Tower Hamlets and other areas of Britain where Muslims have been left free to engage in vigorous persecution of gay people, while authorities turn a blind eye for fear of appearing “Islamophobic,” the jihadists had better have worked out some sort of hand signal or wink (but not too much of a wink) to […]
Muslim Brotherhood-endorsed “Ikhwan Cinema” retails antisemitic propaganda
But, but… we’re told the Brotherhood is “moderate,” and “largely secular,” and that a fresh, new, youthful vanguard of liberal members is challenging that tiny minority of stuffy old “conservatives.” Wishful thinking aside, Ikhwan Cinema was set up by members of the group’s youth wing. “Brotherhood gets out Muslim message with movies,” by David E. […]
United Church of Christ resolution condemns “actions of hostility against Islam and the Muslim community”
And by actions of hostility they mean, among other things, resistance to the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero. So apparently it is an action of hostility against Islam to stand against Islam’s actions of hostility against non-Muslims. And what of the hostility of the Qur’an, which says that Christians who believe that Jesus is […]
