“Abolition of this body would send an unintended message to the rest of the world. Oppressive groups may come to believe that the United States is not committed to the protection of religious liberty.” Indeed.

Hizballah honcho: Iran has a leader “unique to the whole world”
That’s one way of putting it, whether he meant Ahmadinejad or Khamenei. Nasrallah also claims that the Hizballah-dominated Lebanese government’s withholding of funds to the UN Special Tribunal for the investigation of the Hariri assassination was in retaliation for the US’ withholding of funds to UNESCO over its inclusion of an aspirational Palestinian entity that […]
Kazakhstan: “Follower of jihadism” kills seven in gun battle, suicide bombing
The Interior Spiritual Struggle is once again curiously “misunderstood.” “Islamist militant kills seven in attack in Kazakh city,” by Robin Paxton for Reuters, November 12: ALMATY (Reuters) – An Islamist militant killed seven people in running battles with security forces in a southern Kazakh city on Saturday, the latest in a series of attacks on […]
Islamic war against free speech advances at U of Maryland: student govt unanimously condemns truthful ad about Islamic antisemitism
Here (thanks to Pamela Geller) is the FLAME ad. What in it is false? Why, nothing. But the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and Muslim Brotherhood groups in the U.S. including the Muslim Students Association are determined to shut down truthful speech about Islam and jihad, so as to allow that jihad to advance unimpeded. […]
Iran threatens to invade Israel through Syria
Why did the “Arab Spring” Islamic uprisings succeed in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, but fail in Syria? They were brutally put down, of course, but they were in Libya as well. The main reason is that the Islamic Republic of Iran essentially controls Syria as a client state, and was determined not to let it […]
Do we wait for a nuclear winter from the east?
Recently in world politics the topic of the “peaceful” Iranian nuclear program is very relevant. Leaders of many countries are discussing how to get Ahmadinejad to stop enriching uranium. One gets the impression that everyone understands that enriched uranium in the hands of terrorists poses a threat to all humanity. But nothing is done to […]

Egypt: Former antiquities official says “Jewish Masons have been trying to cap the Great Pyramid since 1931 with the Jewish emblem”
Raymond already posted here about the crowning absurdity of the closure of the Great Pyramid for any potential 11/11/11 observances: the allegations that Jews, Masons, or “Jewish Masons” (Jackie Mason?) planned some sort of ritual. More on this round of conspiracy paranoia and accompanying denials follow in two reports below. “Egypt closes Great Pyramid after […]
Obama Administration didn’t release photos of dead bin Laden for fear it would look like an attempt to “humiliate” al-Qaeda leader
Above all, the United States must not look as if it were trying to humiliate Osama bin Laden. He had vowed to destroy our nation and had murdered 3,000 Americans, a fate worse than humiliation as far as many are concerned, but we must not look as if we were out to humiliate him. And […]
Detroit: Muslims continue to pretend they’re physically threatened by Christians praying
Muslims in Detroit continue to pretend that Christians praying pose a threat to them, as if they were Christians in Egypt or Pakistan being attacked and brutalized by Muslims storming out of mosques after Friday prayers.
