Danish police: Immigrant criminals target Danes to make them move out of the (Muslim) area
Muslims’ right to rob non-Muslims has been established since their prophet (always “their”, not “the”) attracted fighters by allowing booty and rape when attacking non-Muslims.

Iran to continue nuke program despite new sanctions
The toothless response from the West has not deterred the mullahs. So what now? The Europeans want to negotiate. They will do anything to avoid the war the Iranians are itching to provoke. And certainly another Wilsonian adventure would be as misguided and foredoomed as the last two. Still, something must be done. Iranian nuclear […]
