We Tried to Tell You, Part MCXLVIII. “Al Qaeda plants its flag in Libya,” by Sherif Elhelwa for Vice, October 28: It was here at the courthouse in Benghazi where the first spark of the Libyan revolution ignited. It’s the symbolic seat of the revolution; post-Gaddafi Libya’s equivalent of Egypt’s Tahrir Square. And it was […]
Saudi prince backs cleric’s bounty for abduction of Israeli soldiers for prisoner exchanges, throws in $900,000 of his own
We have called many times over the years for a sort of “Manhattan Project” for innovations toward the goal of energy independence. Imagine all of the ridiculous political and moral compromises Western countries would not make — whether with Saudi Arabia or Libya — if not for blackmail over oil. An update on this story. […]
Islamic Jihad bombards southern Israel with longer-range Grad rockets
Lather, rinse, repeat: after a certain period of calm, the jihadists in Gaza decide to see how far they can push against Israel again.

Bill Maher: Libyan revolutionaries were a little quick to go for sodomy against captured Gaddafi
There has been a notable double standard in the mainstream media’s coverage of stories of brutality and possible war crimes committed by the forces of Libya’s National Transitional Council. As videos circulated of a bloodied Gaddafi being beaten about the head with a shoe, and then of his corpse, the trope went something like this: […]

Hamas-linked CAIR issues press release lying about Pamela Geller event
Hamas-linked CAIR claimed that Senator Marco Rubio and Governor Rick Scott of Florida pulled out of a Tea Party event because Pamela Geller was speaking. CAIR was lying, of course. Will Honest Ibe Hooper or his Florida henchmen issue a retraction and apology? I won’t be holding my breath. War is deceit, eh, Ibe? Here […]
Polygamy in the ‘new’ Libya causing disquiet among women, Western allies
We’ve tried to tell you. As the Quran clearly allows one man to marry up to four wives simultaneously (Quran 4:3), the ‘new’ Libya has strongly hinted that polygamy will be made legal again, much to the consternation of Libya’s supporters abroad and women everywhere. Such consternation must be more rampant Islamophobia, right? Perhaps ‘liberated’ […]
Contrary to interviewer’s claims, Gilad Shalit was not examined by Red Cross doctors before interview on Egyptian TV
For all of the things we already knew were wrong with that interview, here is another. It was bad enough that Shalit was held up from being reunited with his family, and it was bad enough that he was subject to one last round of psychological torment, surely wondering if saying the wrong thing while […]
Banned Speech at the Hyatt: Pamela Geller, “Truth is the New Hate Speech”
