Malaysian Islamic supremacist rally concludes; rally chairman says there’s a massive plot by Christians and Zionists to destroy Islam
The government-sanctioned Islamic supremacist confab ‘Gathering of a Million Faithful’ has concluded, having been approximately 995,000 short of its goal of having one million believers in attendance.

Arab Spring in Egypt: Man gets three years in prison for insulting Islam on Facebook
Democracy on the march! Of course, the U.S. today is little better. You can’t go to prison yet for saying something that Muslims deem offensive, but that is coming in due course, for the first step has already been taken: forbidding telling the truth about Islam for fear of offending Muslims.

Pakistanis burn effigy of Hillary Clinton as high-level U.S. delegation tries to convince Islamabad to move against Haqqanis
Effigy craftsmanship isn’t what it used to be. One can only imagine that the contrast in private and public discourse on this visit with our “Frenemy” and Ally is particularly stark. Whether what is said after the photo-ops will get Islamabad to lift a finger (no, not that finger) is another matter altogether. “Effigy of […]
