Whatever the various past issues that motivate Brazil’s aversion to counter-terror operations, what amounts to an official national policy of sticking their heads in the sand here will not ultimately make the country safer. Nor will it make its neighbors or the rest of the hemisphere safer. More on this story. “Brazil denies terrorists operate […]

Netherlands: Muslim disrupts concert for Queen to preach Islam
Shorter version from a different angle, showing the Queen’s dawning dismay and the police escorting the Muslim preacher out: Welcome to Eurabia. Here is yet another indication that Islamic supremacists will not allow the Infidels to maintain their practices that are forbidden by Sharia — such as music. Expect much more of this sort of […]
Revealed: Blair and Brown lied — they released Lockerbie bomber because Gaddafi threatened jihad
They said that they were releasing him for humanitarian reasons, but now the truth is out — as well as the astonishing sycophancy and dhimmitude of the Blair and Brown governments. “Devastating secret files reveal Labour lies over Gaddafi: Dictator warned of holy war if Lockerbie bomber Megrahi died in Scotland,” by Ian Birrell in […]
U.S. appeals to Palestinian Authority to delay UN vote on statehood
Forcing the issue over the vote is a virtual win-win situation for the Palestinian Authority, as they either get what they want, or they get an excuse for another intifada, as this report notes the fear of a “wave of anger” in the Palestinian territories and across the Arab world. Indeed, this is blackmail. The […]
Iran installs next-generation equipment for production of nuclear fuel
Replacing the first-generation designs bought from A.Q. Khan. Iran “has ignored four sets of United Nations Security Council resolutions to cease enriching uranium,” knowing the likeliest consequence is the frightful specter of… a fifth UN resolution. More on this story. “Iran Has New Equipment to Speed the Production of Nuclear Fuel, Panel Is Told,” by […]
Malaysian government firmly backs Obama’s pro-Muslim and pro-Islam policies
Which should give the rest of us more than ample reason to oppose and continue opposing them. Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have already gone into great detail into the current Oval Office occupant’s decidedly pro-Islamic policies in their book The Post American Presidency. But if it’s worth saying once, it’s worth repeating: Islamic-supremacist-minded people […]
Report: Al-Qaeda looking to load explosives on small, private airplanes
Uncivil aviation. “Terror warning: Al-Qaida looks to load explosives on small planes,” by Eileen Sullivan for the Associated Press, September 3: The FBI and Homeland Security have issued a nationwide warning about al-Qaida threats to small airplanes, just days before the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks. Authorities say there is no specific or credible […]
“Key al-Qaeda affiliate” and ex-Gitmo detainee killed in Afghanistan
He was released in 2007, even though “the U.S. determined he was a ‘probable facilitator for Al-Qaida members’ and was also thought to have links to Pakistan’s intelligence service.” One hopes his compound yielded some useful intelligence as well. “NATO kills ex-Gitmo detainee in Afghanistan,” by Rahim Faiez for the Associated Press, September 3: KABUL, […]
Pakistani Taliban say they are holding 30 abducted boys said to have crossed into Afghanistan
This is a curious twist, as early reports indicated the boys were abducted after accidentally crossing into Afghanistan. Some details remain unclear: did they boys actually cross the border? Or were they abducted within Pakistan? Either way, Pakistan’s initial story looks suspicious in light of its recent attempts to portray the U.S., NATO, and Kabul […]
Pakistan appears to step back from whitewash of Christian minority affairs minister’s assassination
“Pakistani Christians and international human rights groups rejected” various revisions in the official story floated by Islamabad that Shahbaz Bhatti had not been assassinated for his defense of religious minorities in the country and criticism of the blasphemy law, but instead killed in some rivalry among Christians or a family dispute. The Bishop of Islamabad […]
