The contrast is noteworthy. This is what the army said this time: “The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) presents its regrets and deep apologies for the deaths of martyrs from among Egypt’s loyal sons during the recent events in Tahrir Square,” Compare that to the Orwellian-grade cover-up of the Maspero massacre of October […]

An update on this story. “Islamabad, victory for Paul Bhatti and APMA: Jesus Christ is no longer banned in texting,” from AsiaNews, November 24: Islamabad (AsiaNews) – The commitment of the Special Advisor […]
Useful idiots: Three American students arrested in Cairo for throwing firebombs at security forces

Advertisers fleeing All-American Muslim ‘propaganda’
Here’s something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day. The American people are seeing through the propaganda piece that is TLC’s All-American Muslim reality/dawah show, and responsible advertisers are fleeing in droves. The show aims to combat a trumped-up problem, “Islamophobia,” by presenting Muslims who are just ordinary folk, and mostly non-religious — while of […]
Afghanistan Dearbornistan: Male nurse fired for treating Muslim women
“He was told the clinic’s male Muslim clientele did not want a male treating female patients.” For a taxpayer-funded entity to comply with such a demand opens more than one nasty can of worms.

Malaysia’s “Obedient Wives Club” sells polygamy in London
The club’s creepy sexual fantasy “guide” with a touch of Islamic supremacism was banned in Malaysia, but the group’s supporters are taking their message to London.

She is, of course, only quoting the words […]
A day late, a dollar short: Afghanistan reduces rape victim’s jail sentence, prosecutor says she did not report attack fast enough
Look where she landed when the attack came to light in the first place. Would the outcome have been any different if she went straight to the police? No, she would be like the many other Afghan women in jail under similar circumstances: half of the women in Afghan jails are there for alleged “moral […]
Deputy Speaker of Euro-Parliament: ”Freedom of worship and of thought…has to be recognised” in “Arab Spring” countries
”Freedom of worship and of thought is the foundation of all freedoms and it is a value that has to be recognised if we are not to run the risk that the Arab Spring leads to a winter in which dictatorships are replaced by religious despotism.” And of course that is already happening. I tried […]
